I just have to post this


Max and Liz won the second place at lovetripper.com in Romance Hall of Fame top 10 Sci-Fi TV Couples Category!

Just as one touch of the hero's healing hand left its imprint on the show's heroine, the cosmic connection between a girl and her celestial soul mate has left an impression on the hearts of devoted Dreamers which, years after Roswell's final episode, has yet to fade away.

Over the course of three seasons, fans followed the love story of Max Evans (portrayed by actor Jason Behr), an alien hybrid from the famed Roswell incident who defies his stars to be with Liz Parker (played by actress Shiri Appleby), and in so doing this modern Romeo and Juliet create their own destiny.

i think that they made a mistake when they changed their back story/origins and transformed it into a thing about kings, princesses etc etc-
In the original story it's so much more believable and simple. The royal four thing was so damn stupid and cliché
not to mention that it never made sense and it was so contradictory that it became pathetic and i think that it only ruined the show.

in the original story i love that Max&Co were simply the children of normal "antarians" who died trying to save them
the whole thing about their origins seems way more intimate, more real. Less cold like in the television series where Max&Co were basically engineered and they were clones.
At one point i remember that Max got the chance to sense the presence of his original parents, it was sweet even if it lasted for a very small moment. Also Michael for example had a brother and he met him.

good observation.
it's one of the reason of why i roll my eyes at the royal four storyline. Because it was useless. Max needed to be a king.. ok but why? the lack of concreteness and real believable reasons was so obvious.
also the whole thing about the royal four saving antar was so lame.
they had no useful informations, the destiny book got translated by a human because they weren't able to understand that language, they had no allies here in earth, they had only one spaceship, the granolith, that they couldn't use twice. Their protectors were enemies and sucked bit time.
I really don't understand how four teenagers with no acknowledge and no allies could have saved a whole planet and kill Kivar&Co. come on!
Not to mention that they were actually 3 people not four if you consider that Tess was an enemy too and Kivar&Co were her allies

also the funny thing is that no one ever asked for Max&Co help. i'm talking about the antarians. We know that they were able to contact them if they wanted (think about Kivar and Brody) but it never happened. No one, in 3 years, ever went to Max in order to tell him "we want you back King". no one. it's very telling.
honestly, it seems to me that the antarians didn't give a single damn about Max&Co.
even in the third season Tess had to return here in order to save herself and her son. I understand that she was a betrayer but the baby was innocent and he was Max's baby too. Still, no one of the supposed "supporters" of the royal four tried to save him from Kivar. If they had tried you can bet that Tess wouldn't have returned into a planet she hated with passion especially when she knew that Max&Co hated her.

from what we know the antarians are pretty fine with Kivar as the king. actions speak louder than words and legends

It might have been interesting if the end results didn't turn Roswell into a soap opera with aliens and a baby. It's funny, but sad that Max had to go through all that crap to end up giving up the throne and living on Earth anyway.

That's wonderful! I'm so giddy to see Dreamers still loving Max and Liz after all these years. It makes me proud to be a Dreamer!

Babies always ruin a good sci-fi show, lol. Max's storyline in S3 was all about finding his son and it put such a strain on his relationship with Liz. It would've been nice to see them actually just start anew and be happy rather than it happening at the end of the series.

personally i didn't mind Max trying to find his son (he was the father, mommy was evil but the baby was innocent and needed his help) .. also it lasted.. how many episodes? if we want to be honest he really searched him only in one episode (control) but then he realized the mistake he was almost doing when he wasn't using his brain and he basically stopped to search because the price to pay was too high (plain and simple: he couldn't lose Liz. When he realized that he did almost lose her it destroyed him. he had to face that it was a research that could give him no results since he had nothing really useful to use. this doesn't mean that he didn't love the baby.. but he couldn't lose everything for nothing and he didn't want to lose Liz so he got the lesson and never made the same mistake again)
i love that Liz wanted to help him and supported him. It was mature, i can't see another woman doing the same thing in the same situation. I love that she understood him and she understood that he needed her in that moment even if that meant that she was pushing some of her feelings aside (for a while). But the season was balanced for them because at the beginning of the season she was the one helping him then when she was the one who needed help he was there for her and well.. he did everything for her, he even died trying to protect her.

of course the writers could have avoided the baby's storyline because it was sooo soap opera and it will always hurt Max (and Liz because she loves him and she doesn't want him to suffer). he, they, didn't need that too. Their life was already complex and they had already experienced so many bad things.

There's so much awesome in that one article, it's really amazing to see that Max and Liz are still on list to this very day. I especially like

I agree. I'm not saying I disapproved with Max wanting to find his son. Not at all. But he was obsessed with it. And that kinda hurt him and Liz.

they didn't post it yet.
i bet that it's Buffy and Angel

Buffy and Angel over Max/Liz? That would be such crap.

Truly their chemistry is so amazing that I just assumed that they would end up together IRL actually.

I found this description about soulmates that is so them

Max can always be a king if it's really needed (and i mean, REALLY. Not legends or just words. Something concrete)
In the future he could also be a link between antar and earth, if it's needed.
But this have nothing to do with his wife (even if i have to say that if a wife is really needed then Liz is perfect. She's his sane voice, she always gave him good advices and saved his life more than once) It would be funny if he will have a hybrid child with Liz (in the season four books their son got his healing power, for example) anyway we can say that even Kal supported his relationship with Liz remember the advice?
but really... no one cared about his romantic life. and if they really wanted to control it.. then screw them!

personally i didn't mind Max trying to find his son (he was the father, mommy was evil but the baby was innocent and needed his help) .. also it lasted.. how many episodes? if we want to be honest he really searched him only in one episode (control) but then he realized the mistake he was almost doing when he wasn't using his brain and he basically stopped to search because the price to pay was too high (plain and simple: he couldn't lose Liz.

I love that she understood him and she understood that he needed her in that moment even if that meant that she was pushing some of her feelings aside (for a while).

Their life was already complex and they had already experienced so many bad things.

anyway if we think about it Max never had it easy. 3 years and all hard for many reasons. The only times he was really happy were the times he was with Liz.
at least in the end he, they, got their happy end and he finally found peace.

I was making my current icon and i tried to make a bigger version of it too because i love this pic (even if it's so damn dark. the pics from this scene are impossible to be used. I had to make it look like a painting)


that scene is amazing. they kissed all over their faces. he kissed her temple and she then did the same thing.
This particular pic is so sweet and intense. I love that for once it's a pic with the woman kissing his temple, she's the one protecting and cuddling him
the expression of his face, the hands.
it's desperate love. He needs her.

i hope that the first one isn't Bill and Sukie from true blood because no offense for the fans but that couple is nothing to take too seriously the show is funny and ridiculous in many ways.

anyway if i have to choose i obviously choose Max and Liz with no doubt.
I also think that they're the best because they're like the only one couple that the writers didn't really ruin. I mean, the triangle between A&B and B&S was real, the same happened with other main couples. and when triangles are really developed the end is always kinda unsatisfying no matter if your couple "wins"
i don't know if what i said makes sense
But really if you think about it M&L are one of the few couples not really ruined by the writers with the triangles. Surely the whole tex storyline wasn't needed but it lasted only one episode and it was always clear beyond limits that Max loved Liz and he wanted her but he just thought that she didn't want him back. It was always obvious that Max and Liz loved and wanted each other only. The other people were only very temporarily rebounds and when they were with them you could clearly see that their hearts weren't into the " new relationship". Just look at M&T or S&L kisses. The difference between those and the dreamer ones is immense. Only one blind and delusional won't notice it.
and i mean, i've read comments by non-dreamers people who said the same thing. It always was Max and Liz, no matter what.

so we can't say that their triangle was real for example because a real triangle is the one where the person in the middle (example Max) is really torn between two people. But Max never was like that. Max knew who he wanted and who he loved and nothing could change it. Nothing changed it. But since he couldn't have the one he loved he was on rebound and when he did it? a YEAR after his break up with Liz and only when he was into a bad state

the "triangle" didn't divide M&L it only made them stronger. Also they never were perfect people but it's not that they broke up because they really wanted it or because they weren't sure about their feelings for each other. It always happened for things that weren't really under their control.

when i think about it i think that we dreamers are lucky especially compared to other tv-shows and couples. again the whole tex thing and the baby storyline wasn't needed but it didn't really ruin them we got another season where they won against what had happened to them, we have many amazing moments between them. we have them finally happy and we have a perfect ending with them married and hopeful
other fans aren't so lucky.

That is so Max and Liz.
