It could also of been the network trying to get a new fan base. They also had new writers as well. So maybe they were trying to make it more teenage drama then scifi drama.

hey guys




At least we will get new photos

The link doesn't work for me. What does it say? I hope if there are pictures, some will post them here.

At least, Graduation, for M&M, mirrored Departure. Michael stayed for Maria in Departure, and Maria left everything for a life of danger on the road for Michael.

I'm glad it seems like the project isn't totally dead

What is this exactly? Whatever it is, I have it on my calendar.

Same. I'm kind of indifferent about Jesse, so that doesn't help. It's weird, because the show had these hugely popular four characters and two much-loved ships between ML and MM. And it totally put the focus on Isabel. Not that Isabel wasn't popular, but . . . there was definitely a core four.

I see what you're saying more now.

The episode you're referring to is actually one that I've gone back and re-evaluated a lot over the years. I, like most people, sympathize so much with poor Michael, and no, it's definitely not Maria's most shining hour. I do kind of . . . get it, though. She breaks up with Michael to pursue her dreams, and then all of a sudden her dreams are able to happen. She gets caught up in it, gets tunnel vision towards it. And as exciting as it is for her . . . she still does love Michael, she still wants him, still wants to sleep with him. Not that I condone that or am trying to excuse it or anything. But in my mind, at least, I can explain it without excusing it. And I think it's relatable.

True enough. If you think of it that way, it kind of mirrors Michael a bit in season two. He keeps telling Maria they're not together, but he's laboring away over her Christmas present and getting jealous of her and Brody and . . . watching people have sex in the hardware store with her. I think there are definitely plenty of times in season two where you can't tell whether they're together or not. And to be honest, I kind of always liked that about them. Because they were never really with anyone else. There was this constant loyalty to each other.

Just a random thought . . . Michael never found out (at least not on screen) that Billy kissed Maria, did he?

I don't think he ever did. If he had, Billy would have never made it out of Roswell alive.

Ooh, I'm looking forward to that Brendan and Majandra event! Thanks for the info Sounds as if the BARON AND TOLUCA show might finally be getting picked up by Netflix, fingers crossed


It's years later and I STILL don't know how I feel about Jesse I feel bad for Adam Rodriguez, because he had big shoes to fill when Colin was killed off and fans were grieving for the loss of Alex/Isabel. There were times I liked Jesse (he was funny in the Bewitched dream-like episode) and times where he was moody/bland. He did the best he could, I guess.

I always wondered how Maria and Liz really felt about Jesse I mean, Isabel was still in pain over the loss of Alex, as were they. Did they feel as if Isabel moved on too soon? It's a difficult subject.



Maria was definitely still at that age where she was trying to figure out where to go next in life

But it was SO close to the type of behavior that Joey Potter displayed on Dawson's Creek that it made me cringe. Joey became insufferable in that show. I think Maria, thankfully, had her moments where she was herself rather than whoever Billy was trying to force her to be and I think her friendship with Liz kept her grounded more than anything. But when Michael turned ~bad~ when he became King, I understood his anger towards Maria. The way she had dealt with their break-up after he had stayed on Earth for her, it just seemed very insensitive.


Wow, that's actually a good point

Sometimes I forget how unfair Michael was being to Maria after he broke up with her in the Season 1 finale. Yeah, I thought he was cruel to her earlier on in Season 2. Pushing her away when she was begging him to talk to her... You're right in that it's very similar to Maria in Season 3.


It was sort of implied in the Graduation episode that Michael DID find out. Remember when he says to Maria "you're the one who broke up with me, five minutes after sucking face with your ex-boyfriend"

With Season 3 I felt because of the Channel move to UPN it didn't settle to well after that with new writers they took the show in a another direction away from its core storyline.

Like look at the titles" I married an alien" I mean come on LOL

Damocles

I kind of hate that episode
