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.

How the Shipper name Rebel aka The Rebel Alliance was born according to Roswell fan sites

Rebel - Max/Tess (as a group The Rebel Alliance)
Origin - because the fans of Max & Tess were fighting such overwhelming odds against the Dreamers,
they called themselves the Rebel Alliance - like in Star Wars

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."

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.

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!

HANDS!

these two know every move to make with each other because of their history

starryeyesxx

I know, that shot of the hands always kills me!

I can't quite put my finger on why, but it is just beautiful, especially with the way the camera then follows as Max's hand trails down her arm.....just wow

LilMouse

love: All of this plus it's the gentleness of the moment that gets me. It's romantic because it's so simple.

starryeyesxx

It is a really romantic love scene, I still can't quite believe that they gave it to us

LilMouse

off the top of my head, I think MT is the only love scene I got ever for a ship I love.

starryeyesxx

I've been lucky enough to have a few, but MT are definitely up there

LilMouse

which other ships did you ship that you never thought would get together and then they did?

starryeyesxx

Um.....probably Dan & Blair from Gossip Girl. They were a crackship to begin with, but they actually happened & it was all perfect....until the writers completely obliterated it

& then there's Simon & Alisha from Misfits, I didn't ship them but the idea of them had never crossed my mind - I don't think anyone thought that they would ever, ever, happen, but as soon as they did I was on board because it was all amazing

eternalfate

Damocles

tftnt!

Yw

We have quite a few ships in common I hadn't thought about Simon & Alisha for a while before thinking about that question
