The Roswell Conspiracies

[ZariusTwo]

Finally found the god damn intro to this gem from BKN, a company known for putting substance over style in a big way as far as animation is concerned, many opf their shows have been few real big successes because they tend to tell VERY slow storylines with character development over several episodes, something that really works more for the DCAU than it does for original characters or series.

Roswell Conspriacies was the story of Nick Logan, a Bounty Hunter, finding himself roped into working for "The Global Alliance", alongside Blaze, a member of the alien Banshee race. The Alliance is generally holding down the law on Earth, keeping the public from becoming aware of alien activity and cooperating with more peaceful races to divert and prevent hostile ones from enslaving the human race.

Along the way Nick and Blaze develop a very strong freindship that boarders on Romance at times, but find also that Blaze's race has a very fragile relationship with The Alliance, something which a traitor within the organisation uses to his advantage to create a conflict with the two powers.

Nick and Blaze also battle other subjects of human folkore who are actually merly Alliance members, such as the Sasquatch and so fourth. The Vampire race are the sworn enemies of the Banshee. We also learn that Nick's father Walter vanished twenty years ago around Roswell, enforcing Nick's decision to remain alligned with the Alliance, as a result he has a tempered relationship with the Alliance's head honcho, Rinaker

The series finale is still fondly remembered by who was fortunate enough to watch it, split into a loose arc of four episodes, we saw The Alliance exposed to the public, several main characters die, one revealed to be the traitor, and Nick is finally reunited with his father. Whenever BKN finally release this series, pick it up.

Edit: someone move this

I watched the series back in 1999. I seem to be of few people to ever bother watching anything BKN ever do, there are some that were popular than others, like Mighty Max and Monster Rancher, shows like Roswell just get lost in the shuffle.

Yes, this was a great series. It has been made available on DVD recently (among the $1 bargain-discs at Wal-Marts). As has Skysurfer Strike Force.
** Some other BKN toons are also available at Wal-Mart (for $3.98 each). Those being -- Monster Rancher, Princess Gwenevere and Pocket Dragons.

So far have seen 2 each for Roswell and Skysurfers, and 1 each for the other three.

Damn, that was one awesome show. I remember it very well, actually. And I also remember that I was really surprised by the ending, although I can't relally remember what the ending was.

But anyways, it's an awesome find. Thanks.
