Alec McDowell: Difference between revisions

Help

The writers and producers (Co-Executive Producer Kenneth Biller, Executive Producer/Writer René Echevarria, Co-Producer/Writer Moira Kirkland Dekker and Director Jeff Woolnough) wanted to add a male X5 to the cast since Season One. They liked the idea of having someone who contrasted with Max in that he grew up at Manticore and was amoral, fun and initially not so much interested in saving the world (a lot like Max in Season One.) This character, Alec/X5-494, was also created as a love interest for Max. But Alec might have been introduced as potential love interest for Max but given what has been said in the audio-commentaries to the later episodes, other DVD extras and the content of the tie-in books to the series, which are based on informations the authors got from the producers and the FOX network, there wasn't much left from the original intention at the end of season two.

Episode 2.21: “Freak Nation”<br />Commentators: Richard Gunn, Rene Echevarria, Charles H. Eglee, Kenneth Biller, Moira Kirland Dekker<br />Kirland Dekker: “We would have played off the mythology, cured the virus, found Sandeman!”<br />Kirland Dekker: “I was wanting to play off the Alec/Asha thing and get rid of the lie that Max has told Logan”<br />“Alec and Normal would have consummated their relationship, possibly.”
