The Rebel Alliance, are the Max and Tess 'shippers. We like Max and Tess as a couple and we talk about that (among other things.) Some of our views may not be popular, but this thread is the place we have been given to express them. So if you don't like it, there
are other places to go where you can express it. That place is not here. If you don't 'ship Max and Tess we're fine with that and we love everyone to post here no matter what you support. But this is a Rebel thread, it's what we talk about and it's hard to feel comfortable expressing that when you have to be careful about "stepping" on anyones toes.

Quotes from our Rebels Jason and Emilie about working together on Roswell:

~Finnish website lily.fi Interview~
Date:January 2012
Sorce:Finnish website lily.fi

When lily.fi asked her about her former Roswell co-star Jason Behr, Emilie told them that they are really testing her memory.

“At that time I was an eighteen year old beginner and Roswell was my first big acting job. I asked Jason and the others for advices all the time and I asked them to tell me how things work. He was very supportive and a good friend.”

TV Guide Voice Over: "And is not clear where things stand between Liz and Max. In lasts season final episode Max learns his destiny is to be with Tess and to be the leader of his people."

Jason: "He'll struggle with the choice of deciding to live that life that he has created for himself with Liz, and his family, and his friends in Roswell, or to choose to accept this responsibility [Of being a leader and being with Tess] and let that lead him where it takes him.

Emilie:I'm sure the'll make something of that, it's just harder at the moment. It's kind of you know a love triangle I guess at the moment, which is really interesting to work with."

~The Fourth Alien: Emilie de Ravin Learns All About Otherworldly Roswell Love~
Date: May 2001

She speaks highly of her working relationship with Jason Behr (Max) , Brendan Fehr (Michael) and Katherine Heigl (Isabel), who share the challenge of breathing life into alien characters. "We get along and we strategize well. When we have scenes together, we rehearse for a while and get it down, really working at the intricacies we find. We talk about the movements of the scene and the things we may want to change. We work well together, and we're usually pretty happy with the scenes involving the four of us."

But de Ravin is quick to point out that, in terms of on-set relationships, she hasn't seen any gravitation of the actors into alien and human camps. "We all realize none of us are aliens," she laughs. "We all get on. It's a fun set."
-----------------------------------------------
The budding relationship between Tess and Kyle will not blossom into a romance, however. In the season's final episodes, says de Ravin, "Kyle tells Tess he feels she is she a sister to him. He really cares about her, but not in a romantic way. Tess is totally fine with that. She never really had a thing for him, although she has played with his emotions- but not in a bad way. She likes him a lot, but just as a friend. They're both relieved about getting all that out into the open."

Does the actress agree with the writers' resolution to that [Kyle and Tess] relationship? "Yes, I do, because of the way that my relationship grows with Max. It's going to be, um, kind of full bore."

Max and Liz have a big blow-up, de Ravin relates, and Liz tells Max she's not interested in him anymore. Besides, Liz has a new love interest at the moment: Sean De Luca, Maria's cousin. "Yes, another little hot boy," de Ravin chuckles. "That's a funny, cute relationship Liz and Sean have going. And it leaves it open for Max and Tess to get together. I think the writers have been trying to make this happen for a while, but it was a hard transition for the viewers. It had to be taken very gently because the fans were so used to seeing Max with Liz."

As with all threads this one is moderated. Roswell 10/2/00 is the kickass mod who has been assigned to us. But we are sure that other mods are also keeping an eye on us.

Don't bash our ideas or what we support.

Hey there! If you are reading this you are obviously a Tess fan. We bet you were even directed here by a mod. If you're new to the Ros1 boards you've probably noticed and experienced the insane amounts of negativity our favorite fictional character has
generated. (Pretty impressive, isn't it?) Well negativity no more! You are now safely within the bounds of The Rebel Alliance. Sure, we're Max and Tess shippers but above all we're the biggest Tess fans around. So hang around, you'll find no one critizing our favorite evil lying manipulative skanky Antarian Queen. In fact, we embrace her. We want to be exactly like her when we grow up.

Whether you be Rebounder, Fifth Wheeler, Mindwarper, Catfighter, etc. etc. etc. you'll always be welcomed here.

But if you're still wigged at the thought of hanging with Rebels, you can always head over to the land of Chocolate and Sunshine otherwise known as the...

Emilie de Ravin Board

You'll find the above mentioned UC Tess ships with *gasp* their own threads, news about the upcoming projects of Emilie, a whole mess of Hussies (Tess Fans) talking, yapping and sometimes lamenting about Roswell or anything else. If you're a Tess fan, you'll definitely feel at home there.

And finally, say it with me... It's just a tv show!

Rebel on!

AbbeyGirl

tfnt!

And OTM being before HOM makes soooo much more sense!

starryeyesxx

& now back to the gifs

Switching the order always annoyed me. And then they had Maria say "oh yes, I forgot to mention we were held hostage. It was totally not important at the time but you should know about it now because there's clues to who killed Alex." Really? Being held hostage is not important? OK.

at the gifs I could've watched a whole hour of memorial retrieval lessons. I would've loved for Michael and Isabel to get in on it.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, that was not a good way to introduce that episode

I would have loved more memory retrievals too! I wish we could have seen some of what they were seeing

Roswell 10/2/00

I hate how they switched it. i was like really what is this with Maria drawing things on a chalk board.

It made so much more sense if Off The Menu was first before Heart of Mine.

When I saw Heart of Mine I was like wow that was fast for them to get so close.

After seeing Off The Menu it made more sense.

I can't remember think they switched it because there had been something gun related happened in real life and Off the Menu Brody had a gun?

starryeyesxx

I kinda get why they decided to hold off on airing OTM, but they should have handled it better, especially when you consider how important that last Max/Tess scene was to them getting closer

Damocles

Tftnt!

LilMouse

i can imagine anyone who wasn't on the internet at the time and didn't know about OTM being delayed would've been really, really, really confused about Max all of a sudden remembering his other life and hanging out with Tess after 6 weeks of not speaking to her.

starryeyesxx

Exactly, it probably affected the way a lot of people saw that storyline....

Roswell 10/2/00

Yes I know us fans were confused when Off The Menu aired and were like wait what is this?

Rememeber these were the days before twitter and facebook. We had live journal, instant messanger, email,message boards, and fan websites and that were pretty much it.

So news did not go out as fast as it does today.

I think about a week later the WB said why they switched the episodes.

Then we have to go online to find out why the WB switched the episodes.

starryeyesxx

That sucks

& the 'I remember you' scene was so sweet, they could have won a lot of people over that ep

LilMouse

I forgot to say I agree.

It was jarring to have Max being mean to Tess in OTM in the beginning when he hadn't been that mean to her in a while.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, although it was still set after MITC wasn't it? So, it's still kinda weird...
