Character Theories



Below are some theories about various characters.





Khivar is Tess & Max's Son

This is from my own little twisted mind. lol There is not any real evidence, but it would explain why Khivar was so jazzed that Tess get pregnant.

And with time travel possible, Khivar could have grown up, used the Granolith to go back in time, and ursurp his own father!

There are some paradox problems with this one, but I am sure some enterprising writer could work them out. ;)







Why was Nicholas in a child's body?

Maybe Khivar does have a thing for young women & men. lol Khivar would have to be at least 70, probably older, and he was making passes at Isabel.

As for Nicholas, I have a few theories about why he is in that body.

1. Maybe it is a punishment for something.
Maybe Khivar found out that Nicholas was sleeping with Vilondra behind his
back, or maybe something else we don't know about.

2. Maybe it is a glimpse of Khivar's sense of humor, or his evil. Perhaps he
just thought it was funny that his second in command be stuck in a child's
body. Or perhaps he knew how uncomfortable or humiliated Nicholas would be, and
liked the idea of causing him pain.

3. Or maybe, and I think most likely, Nicholas is in the child's body as a form
of protection and camouflage. A child would be the last one you would suspect,
and the one you would worry the least about. A child would be easily
overlooked, and put the enemy off guard.







Did Liz's grandmother have a connection to the aliens?

A lot of fanficiton has been written showing a connection between Liz' grandmother and the aliens in the crash.

And that was fueled even more by the article she wrote about the Navajo, Lost Treasures, making the alien/native american connection stronger.

Many fics had her stumbing on knowledge of the aliens because of her study of the Navajo or other tribes.

Here are some additional explanations by Zanity.

This idea originally sparked from:
From Pilot:

Liz: My grandmother took this picture at the crash sight right before the government cleaned it up.

Granted that was a lie for a tourist but it sparked the idea that Liz's Grandma might have been at the crash site... then you add to that the fact that when Max helped Liz say goodbye while Grandma Claudia was dying the only thing she says in regard to the situation is:

GRANDMA: Let me guess...Max.

No... How is this happening... no what did you do to me.... not even any shock or surprise that it happened on her face or in her demeanor. She







Who was Owen Blackwood?

In case you don't remember, Owen Blackwood was the Native American deputy early in the series. He was at the Crashdown shooting, at the Crash Festival when Valenti was 'arresting' Max, and he was even at the Evan's house after the break in.

I've always wondered if he was more than he seemed, and my friend River Dog independently had some of the same specualtions.

What if Owen was one of the shapeshifters or another helpful alien?
Crazy? Well, you can decide.

Think about it. If he was a shapeshifter what would be a better place to gather information than to be a deputy? If he knew where the kids were, he could keep an eye on them. If he didn't know where they were, he could use the power, resources and equipment of the Sheriff's office to look for them.

And there were a few times he seemed helpful or protective of the kids.

- At the Crash Festival, he seemed to be defending Max, asking the Sheriff what Max had done.

- When Isabel had the flat tire to distract the Sheriff, he offered to change it for her. Possibly to keep her away from the already suspicious Sheriff.

- He was at the Sheriff's station when Michael came in 'selling candy for charity', and told him to get out. Perhaps trying to keep Michael out of trouble.

(this one was pointed out by my friend River Dog)
- There is also the curiousity of Owen's appearance when Michael broke into the UFO Center in 285 South. How did he even know Michael had broken in? Is there an alarm on the pipe Michael slid inside in? I'm thinking not. Even if there was an alarm, Owen was there so quickly, it doesn't seem possible. So was Owen following Michael for some reason?

And how did Owen get into the UFO Center? Surely it was locked up that time of night. So did Owen have a key, break in, pick the lock, maybe he happened to see Michael on the roof and went down the same pipe? They all seem pretty unlikely. Or did he use some otherwordly power to get in?

- And maybe the most interesting to me, was that Owen was the person who noticed the symbol on Isabel's necklace and told her it was from the reservation, where they eventually found River Dog and the cave writing.

Then Owen was gone, never to be seen again on the show. Interestingly, it was about the same time that the shapeshifter known as 'Tic Tac' showed up. So maybe he was Tic Tac, or another helpful alien, maybe even the dupes protector who came to help look for or protect the real royal four.

Sure, maybe it was all simply coincidence, but it makes you wonder.







Who was Leanna (aka Jennifer Coleman)?

Leanna is first introduced as Alex’s Swedish girlfriend, but we learn that Leanna doesn’t really exist at all. She is really a university student at the University of Las Cruces named Jennifer Coleman. It is unclear exactly how much she was involved in the whole Alex fiasco. Perhaps she was no involved at all, and was impersonated, or maybe she was involved a little but didn’t really know what was involved, or maybe she was in it up to her neck, although I doubt that.

It is my theory that someone, a shapeshifter, a Skin, a dupe, was impersonating the real Jennifer Coleman and posed as Leanna.

Let’s look at the facts.

Leanna/Jennifer runs away from Maria and Liz when they see her, and disappears. If she wasn’t involved, how would she know who Liz and Maria even were?

And wouldn’t Leanna/Jennifer wonder about this weird email that ‘Ray’ sent to her with the translation in it? And wasn’t Leanna/Jennifer concerned about the rental property bills coming to her?

It also always seemed likely to me that Tess had a local accomplice in Las Cruces. Someone needed to keep Alex in line, and he broke out of the mind warp at least once we know of, when he created the ‘Leanna is not Leanna’ document.

Also I find it highly unlikely that the computer and crystal just sat in that rental property for four months waiting for someone to find them. It seems much more likely that someone set that up for Liz to find and led her there.

I am thinking it is whoever impersonated Leanna/Jennifer.

And one more piece of evidence - Leanna/Jennifer didn’t recognize Liz when she saved her from the fire that Max was starting.

So Leanna/Jennifer did recognize Liz when she ran away from her a few days before, but not when Liz pounds on her dorm room door. Making it seem to me that it was the real Leanna/Jennifer in the room that Liz tried to save, but a different person when they saw her before.

All of that seems to point to the fact that someone was impersonating Leanna/Jennifer. Who it was we can only guess.







Who was Serena?

The only thing we know about Serana was that she was a friend of Liz's in the future who figured out how to alter the granolith to send Max through time. Other than that she is a complete mystery.

Over the years many have speculated about who she could be even though there is no evidence in the show. The theories generally fall into two groups - she is a human who was able to figure out the alien technology, or she was an alien. I have even wondered if perhaps she was Max and Liz's daughter who inherited her mother's talent for science.
