Less technical than conversational, they chat about actors who impressed them (Nana Visitor as the invidious Madame X, Geneva Locke as young Max) and their own favorite moments, while also evincing the commitment that characterizes most everyone involved with the show. Their observations convey a pleasant intimacy and shared sense of humor (particularly as they recall how hard they tried to keep straight faces during long hours of shooting some rather talky scenes).
“And it smelled like sulfur outside.”Īs Alba so fondly recalls the physical difficulties of making James Cameron’s famously expensive futuristic tv series, she’s watching with Michael Weatherly, her costar as Logan Cale, and her offscreen partner. “It was so cold in there,” she recalls of the Vancouver set, an old silo.
She’s talking about the final episode of the season, “And Jesus Brought a Casserole,” which does indeed begin with an overhead pan of a grimly science-fictionish lab. And I really hated this scene.” So begins Alba’s commentary for Fox’s Dark Angel: The Complete First Season DVD. Michael Weatherly: You’re kind of beautiful too.
