Such a silly thing to do.
Roswell could've been special and different from all the other shows they had on the air if they wanted it to be.

Yeah, it always makes me sad when I think about it, because the show really did have a lot of potential

LilMouse

You were doing a rewatch, right? How's that going?

starryeyesxx

Not really a rewatch, just a bit of giffing, but it's going slow... only up to 1x04 atm

LilMouse

Slow is good because if you rush it and finish it quick then you'll have to find some other task to do to pass time

Oh I wish I was on here back then between S1 and 2. I was speculating all by myself.... none of my friends were watching......

Even S2 was kind of off since the first half of episodes had one vibe with the last several episodes going in a totally different and odd direction

LilMouse

You would've been one of the few people to go to both the Dreamer and Rebel thread.

They tried so hard with those first few eps to draw in new viewers. The way they dressed the girls was so odd.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, trying to get in viewers in the laziest way possible...

LilMouse

And they saw it didn't even work.

Roswell 10/2/00

Yes totally laziness!

Tess must've felt so giddy when she was overhearing Max talk about how to be romantic. And maybe she was remembering the past.

Oh my goodness I didn’t even think about that.....I certainly wasn’t a Tess hater even then so I wonder if somehow I would have had to choose a side..... I remember all summer just thinking.....wow....they are married

Oh I just love that scene with the four of them

Roswell 10/2/00

I got into Rowell in season 2. I loved Tess from the start. I did see season 1 eventually. Yes I can see how people might not of liked her.

However the whole storyline didn't make any sense for her to be evil. It should have been Kivar that killed Alex. It made way more sense and fit in with the mythology. Tess saved the group more times than I can count. If it was not for Tess Max would have been killed in the White Room. I rest my case.

I might be a Dreamer at heat but I didn't hate Tess. I felt sorry for Tess. All she wanted was to belong and to fit in. I also couldn't understand how the fans could hate her so much.

I understand the love triangle dynamic but I mean where was the fan outrage when Liz all of the sudden started dating Sean in season 2? Why was it only over when Max decided to be with Tess there was such an outrage?

To me Tess was one of the most complex characters. There were so many layers to her. She encompassed everything about what it meant to be a stranger in a strange land. All she wanted was for people to remember her and to be accepted. Plus she was the most powerful out of the Pod Squad Royal Four.

So I am one of the few MODS that actually likes Tess.

My two favorite Tess moments are when she is on the bench and Max says to her that she can stay and she reaches out her hand and places it on his shoulder as if to say I am here I understand.

I also love the "I remember you" scene. It was all that Tess wanted was for someone to remember her, to love and accept her, and not abandon her.
