What about A Roswell Christmas Carol appeals to you?
Mel Another episode from season two that we both really loved is the Christmas episode. Because it’s very touching with Max healing these kids who have cancer but it’s really funny too. Isabel as the Christmas nazi [is very funny].
Laura Isabel is very focused on having the perfect Christmas, and she will have the perfect Christmas no matter what it takes. They all call her the Christmas nazi behind her back, and this is the season that she realises that they consider her to be the Christmas nazi.
Mel Just the looks that she gives the different characters were very funny. She would like turn and give them a look…
Laura ...and they all fall into line and do just what she wants. So, it was very funny and it was a nice use of the aliens’ powers. Max has been a healer all along so it was refreshing to get back to that aspect of his personality, that he is this force for good.
But there was also the question of how much should he do. He’s not god, should be healing people or shouldn’t he? It’s a morally ambiguous question for him.
Mel At the beginning of the episode there’s a man that he doesn’t heal because it would reveal who he was. He’s haunted by the thought of this guy, and it brings up the question of if you have the power what are your responsibilities. How do you keep yourself safe and still be a good person?
