... Q: How you would describe the relationship between Alak and his parents? Sometimes his scenes with Stahma seem a little ambiguous…
Jesse Rath: "Alak has a very Oedipus-like relationship with his parents, Stahma and Datak. In a perfect world he would probably kill his father and marry his mother. He’s against his father’s sinister actions and is probably a little frightened by them, but at the same time he wants nothing more than his father’s approval and acceptance of who he is."
Q: What do you hope for Alak in terms of character development?
Jesse Rath: "Without spoiling anything, Alak will find himself at somewhat of a crossroads towards the end of the season. I have no idea where the show will take him in the second season but I can barely contain my excitement every time I think about where it may go..."
