Falling Skiesstarted its fourth season with anepisodethat turned everything on its head.
So what is going on with Maggie this season?
The drama is awesome, one of the very exciting things about next season, this love triangle.
Because not enough trauma has happened to Maggie, right?

Carter:Exactly!
Shes got a pretty wild one, you know, and a strong one.
Tom has a lot more respect for Maggie as a leader and as a voice for both sides.
I think she has been somebody who is never been quick to jump at one side or another.
Doug, you have such a great expressive face.
Is that why they want to keep slapping make-up on you for every TV show and movie?
Am I really that butt ugly to you people?
Is that what this is about?
My face is kind of small and I have small bone structure.
Thats a great template to build on, so they tell me.
How do you get into the mind of Cochise?
He is caught between two worlds and two loyalties?
How did you get into that?
So our people against their people has been going on all this time.
And Earth was our next stop, as you saw in season three.
Weve never done it this way before.
I did the whole Patty Duke thing, and can I tell you how hard that was?
(responding to Laura shaking her head) No, it was hard, Laura, it was hard!
(Laughs) I believe you, just not the part about youre not smart.
I dont believe that for a second.
Jones:Well, youre very kind, very kind!
And so these are the moments I have had with myself.
Weve got a battle to fight and get out of our way.
It just goes crazy.
I read the script for episode one of season four, and I thought, Oh my gosh!
I just didnt even recognize the show.
And the question remains: Where are the Volm?
I thought they were here to fight the good fight and protect us.
So the question that remains: Where are the Volm and why have they abandoned us?
Earth is not the only battlefield so there are other pressing matters.
The mothership has gone away and left a small core of us on Earth.
Its hard to believe we are already on the fourth season.
And how does that compare to where they are going?
Moon Bloodgood:We started off as a show that was so underplayed and mild, very character-driven.
Seychelle Gabriel:Yeah.
Bloodgood:Like I honestly dont know where we can go from herewe have to become a new show.
(to Seychelle Gabriel) Would you agree?
Gabriel:One hundred percent.
We were talking about how different this season is from the other ones, especially how it begins.
I think for Lourdes, though, the biggest thing is that she has just become a stronger woman.
Bloodgood:Her character is probably the one that gets stretched the farthest this year.
Gabriel:Well, yours is…
Bloodgood:Im right there with you.
You torpedoed one of my questions by answering that first one, Dougie.
Anyway, I know you have a whole process for designing movement for a character.
Could you talk about the process for Cochise?
(everyone laughs).
I can just walk in, stand, and deliver, and that is good enough.
Its a great mix of intellect and brawn, even though I am a skinny guy.
Thank goodness for shoulder pads, you know what Im saying.
Carter:Yeah, totally.
So the first three episodes of this next season, were all kind of going, What!?!
And Scarlett Byrne is phenomenal in the next season, and she is just so fun.
What did you originally ask me?
(pauses) It was just a hard piece of cheese to swallow.
and Is this okay for me?
And my heart was breaking.
You said that Maggie is taking more of a leadership role this season.
Now, theyve been promising new weapons and technology from the aliens, you know as a last-stand thing.
Is Maggie in more mortal danger than ever before?
In a way shes safer…and I will just leave it at that.
Will you two have a connection because of that?
I am very protective for her because of that.
who is protecting whom?
There is definitely a strong bond.
He never really got to know her or bond with her.
She is really our focal point this year.
She is our big star.
Both of your characters have experienced a very personal violation at the hands of the aliens.
How do you think that impacts the characters relationship to what is going on?
Bloodgood:Thats a really good question.
is she not my daughter?
And I think its good for Anne because she was always someone to step back.
Moon Bloodgood, Doug Jones, Sarah Carter, Seychelle Gabriel, thank you very much!
