Max has touched back down on solid ground inRoswell, New Mexico… for now.
No, that wasn’t an innuendo.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Welcome back from the dead!
John Golden Britt/The CW
Is it nice to get out of the pod and stretch your legs, so to speak?
NATHAN DEAN PARSONS:Yeah, it is!
And now people can stop asking you if you’re dead and when you’re going to be back.
I’m impressed it took until episode 6 for it to happen.
We can’t just say, “Alright, that was a goof up.
We’re all back.”
It had to really be impactful and mean something.
You spent a lot of time in a pod this season up until now.
What goes into shooting those scenes?
That was a bizarre day for me.
I was like, “My day is going to come.”
Finally, it did.
So, that’s what I did.
I really mastered it.
I was in there for like six hours or seven hours.
It was crazybut it was super fun!
I’m really glad that we got to do it.
Is that something we should be worried about resurfacing?
We have an idea of maybe what causes it.
Maybe our species was this predatory race?
We don’t know.
That fight sequence with Lily Cowles was pretty cool.
Was that fun to shoot?
Oh my God, it was so much fun.
We really kind of got into a flow on how to make it work.
Was it refreshing to be in that un-tortured headspace?
From the minute that Liz shows up, all of this stuff comes crashing back.
The older we get the further that gets from our memories, so it’s fun to rekindle that.
Liz and Max were probably in the best place we’ve seen them at the end of episode 6.
I imagine that’s not going to last too long?
Well, yeah, it is TV so…
So that’s inevitably going to come up in various ways.
Nothing could ever be nice and pretty.
Especially with dealing with loss.
That’s a hard thing and it sneaks up on you.
Now, maybe we have the mother coming back too, so it’s a whole new family dynamic.
Yeah, that’s all coming.
Can you tease anything about where that’s headed?
What was that place?
What was this completely different, not only planet, but society and culture like?
The search is on.
