Space Cowboys Ep 15: Carina MacKenzie gives an intimate look into the making of the series

Pure Fandom

The Space Cowboys podcast is hosted by Liz Prugh and Meg Bonney. The two discuss and recap the latest ‘Roswell, New Mexico’ episode, theories and more. What goes into creating a TV show? Does a showrunner’s personal life trickle into the feels you get every Tuesday night? Why is your favorite character’s drama so relatable, so real? These are the questions we sought answers to from Roswell, New Mexico boss, Carina MacKenzie. Your favorite alien-podcast hosts flew down to Austin, TX on the heels of SXSW for an exclusive Roswell, New Mexico screening, hosted by ATX Television Festival and Warner Bros. Before the screening and fireside chat with Carina, Meg and I met with her in her hotel room for an intimate conversation about the personal pain, love, and ultimate “light” that created this already-beloved series. More in this podcast: -Carina's insight into how Liz looks at Isobel: Is there forgiveness or redemption in the future? -Why she loves Michael Trevino's character, Kyle Valenti, so much: "I think we should allow people to change, apologize for what they’ve done, move forward, and not always carry the burden of mistakes they've made in the past." -The theme of "space". This doesn't just pertain to the obvious. Carina shares why giving space to those we care about is just as much an act of love as shouting your devotion from the rooftops. -Malex, Malex, Malex. Did we mention, Malex? "These guys are working towards something better than themselves and this old town that has this ugly history of intolerance and abuse. Stepping into the light is the story that we’re telling [for Alex and Michael]." -Why music plays such an important role on the show. -Advice for women, creators and fans alike: Why you should never, ever apologize for occupying your space.
