Wooh! LoL, I obviously got the story wrong... although I guess it would be pretty much impossible to get it "right" considering that I'm still pretty much a newbie to the Roswell fandom.

So, do ya'll think that the writers still would've had Max and Liz get married at the end of season three if the show was picked up for a fourth season? If not, what do you think they would have done instead? I heard something about a scrapped "prophecy" storyline regarding M/L. Do you think they would've gone with that, and focused more on developing Liz's powers? Or would they have just made the fourth season a chance for Max and Liz to really heal from everything that happened -- Max from giving up his son, and Liz finally confronting her resentment over Tess/TEX head-on and dealing with it instead of "getting past it", and giving herself the chance to really grieve Alex? (Yes, she was the most vocally angry after he died, and was the one really not willing to let it go, but after they found out about Tess she shoved it under the rug in a lot of ways. In BTM we see Maria still feeling the aftershocks with the guitar that Alex's parents gave her hidden under the bed, her failure to sing since his death, etc. But there was never any equivalent for Liz.)

I really would have liked to see Max and Liz facing the realities of their lives -- after Ch-ch-changes Harvard was basically out for Liz, and the way they played it it sounded like Northwestern had been extremely iffy, which doesn't surprise me since it's also a very good school. We never really heard much about Max's academic standing at the end of high school, but I have a feeling he had problems more with missing class time, which might've become a disciplinary problem on his record considering his numerous "camping trips". Max was pretty aimless after FAAAB, and I would've loved to see him trying to come up with a new life path -- be it studying to be a doctor, or lawyer like his dad, or something totally different. And how would that fit in with Liz, and her dreams? She spent a long time helping Max find his son, and that had to have left her with questions and some strong feelings about any future family she and Max might have possibly had. Did she still want to pursue molecular biology, or, like many writers have hypothesized, was she willing to go into something else like writing, a lower-level research or lab position, etc.? Gosh, I've been thinking entirely too much about this.

I just want a discussion question to wake this thread up! I miss the dreamer love.
