Roswell - TV Show

*JameO* · 02-02-2007, 11:28 AM

I have been obsessed with this show, my girlfriend left it with me and I cant get away from it, pretty good show, im midway into season 2 and enjoying it, pretty interesting story and well written dialogue. I was just wondering if anyone else watched it and enjoyed it? And maybe build a discussion on the show? Aliens with super powers that are half human, and relationships on top of relationships, what can be better!?

Yeeah, never quite liked it that much, it had a lot of potential, but with any standard "teens with powers=bad romance and s*itty acting", it leaves an aqquired taste. It got so bad I even started preferring Mutant X over it.

The ending of the first season and the entire second season was the height of the series though, everything meshed well, good characerisation, "Cry Your Name" has some big developments, and it had a heck of a cliffhanger. A pity it jumped the shark very quickly afterwards.

I agree with ZariusTwo that the only really good parts of the show were the end of Season One and all of Season Two. Maybe it's just cause I liked Tess, I didn't really like the other characters much at all. Some of them were ok I suppose, like Maria and Valenti, but I didn't really like the others.

Personally I think the acting is pretty good and yeah from what my girlfriend has told me, the third season is not well put together cause it has to try and end the story as fast as possible so near the end of the third season it gets hectic, I guess I will see, I guess the true shame is that they ended the contract with it? I didnt like Valenti in the beginning but season 2 he is quite a nice guy after all, and personally I despise Tess, mostly because she stepped in and swayed someones interest, which was Max's without even caring what he though, him and Liz were together, she had no right barging in without him even knowing what he was doing. I personally like Michael the most of the aliens, his anger and agression and un controllable power seems the most interesting and I love how blunt he is about things. And also hes Canadian!

Spoiler:

Im almost done the second season, so once I complete the series ill have more to imput, but overall I really enjoy the show, anyone out there that feels the same way?

I remeber this show and I remember liking it a lot in the beginning. I mean, they were aliens and whatnot, had powers and stuff and trouble in the real life. But then the real life trouble kinda took the upper hand and the show was too soapy for me.

I do wonder what happened at the end though. Like where the aliens are from, what they do on earth and why the hell they're here.

Yeah it definitely a soapy kind of show for most of the times, but personally in this case, I like where its going, maybe because im somewhat of a soapy kind of guy, I like those kind of stories sometimes, I can relate with Alex in many cases.

Spoiler: The Christmas episode was really great in my opinion, I know it was kind of wrong for him to act as God and heal all those children, but I saw it as a great thing to do around christmas, the time of the year where family is brought together and all is happy, it truly was a miracle, and I love the holiday season, so it was a great episode to me.
