I was a part of the original Innovative Weather team from May 2007 until December 2010. I would ultimately complete my Bachelor's Degree in 2007 and Master's in 2009.

My love for weather continued right through college, where I went on several storm chases through the Atmospheric Science Club at UWM. I can even remember posting forecasts from television on the bulletin board of my third grade classroom. I remember always being fascinated watching The Weather Channel while my dad prepared to work his lawn maintenance business each day. Like most people that enter a career in meteorology, I've had an interest in weather since I was little. We live in a job market now where graduates with a 4 year degree can no longer easily obtain work, and yet many 'trade' jobs are struggling to get filled this is a sure sign that obtaining the necessary hands-on, technical skills are invaluable to succeed and get to the next level." "Innovative Weather has given me the skills to excel at the communication aspect of this. “ is saved for when he’s with Ted and learns of his departure in. It does represent the start of a healing process, though.” He also pointed out that Nate and his dad don’t hug at the end of that scene. Nate doesn’t cry here like he did in front of Ted though (and will again in Season 3, Episode 12) and it’s important that that’s not Nate and his dad ‘fixed’. “I asked Jason to be in my eye line when Nate’s dad is speaking to him… because when Nate aims his words at Ted in, those were undoubtedly intended for his dad,” he explained. Mohammed went on to single out a pivotal scene from Season 3’s 10th episode - specifically, the moment when Nate confronted his father about never offering him positive reinforcement. He also reminded his followers that “the first time we see Nate in Rupert’s office is almost a direct parallel to when Anakin visits Emperor Palpatine’s throne room in Return of the Jedi – a sure sign that Nate will eventually be redeemed,” as TVLine was quick to deduce following the premiere. Rebecca, Jamie, Colin, Isaac and even Higgins all make very questionable choices at the start of Season 1 – one may even argue just as bad as Nate’s actions in Season 2 – but our capacity and desire to forgive isn’t nearly as seductive as our desire to judge.”Īccording to Mohammed, “so much of Nate’s story deliberately unseen, unscripted or dialogue free” in Season 3. “We’re so predisposed into buying a redemption story if we start off not liking them/their behavior, but this was never the case with Nate.

“Part of the difficulty in forgiving Nate is because we believed in him from the start,” Mohammed continued. Neither interpretation is right or wrong, but the challenge of Season 3 with Nate was to make people question – even if just for a split second – their judgement at the end of Season 2. But for others, he will have done enough. For some, there’s nothing Nate can do to redeem himself - what he did at the end of Season 2 simply crossed too much of a line.

“To an extent redemption is in the eye of the beholder and as far as Nate’s story is concerned it’s more a look into our capacity for forgiveness. “Even though that word is used a lot, ‘catharsis’ is probably a better way to describe Nate’s Season 3 arc,” he said.
