Laura I think its heart is very much in the human elements of it. That that’s what Jason [Katims] really responds to and that’s where he wants the show to go mostly.

They’re aliens but they’re also just teenagers, and I think everyone feels like an alien when they’re a teenager. He wants to keep it focused on the relationships between the characters and what their emotions are, what their friendships are.

All of this is clearly against a science fiction backdrop but I would say that its actual heart is the romances, especially the Max and Liz romance. They’re sort of the Romeo and Juliet and everything is hung on them. One of the episodes in season two, The End of the World, that Jason wrote, it’s the perfect balance.

Mel I agree, it’s the perfect mix of science fiction and romance.

Laura It works incredibly well on both levels and that’s the goal, to have that kind of balance.
