Well, Tess seemed kinda sinister to me from the very beginning and I was feeling there was something not quite right with her throughout season 2, so the storyline of her being evil and a traitor never seem pulled out of nowhere to me. It seemed to fit real well, actually.

I also liked that Michael embraced his humanity. However, I can not agree with their choices not to engage in the reason they were alive. To fight a war. How could anyone just turn their back on their blood family and leave their people to suffer in a war.  They betrayed everything about the show. If they never would have brought up the whole civil war and the goal of winning that war. Then I wouldn't have mind that the show took the we just want to not be discovered and live on Earth. However, they did metion it and so it needed to be explored. You can't just bring up a war, a reason for being made in a sci-fi show and then just abandon that entire way of thinking.

I admit I wasn't entirely satisfied with that either, but for a number of reasons I'm too tired go into right now, I felt it worked out ok despite that. Certainly I feel that a lot of shows end up with problems of that sort that are much worse.

Of Sci-Fi shows, Roswell was one of the worst in history. I'm not judging based on one or two seasons. However the overall story of the show. It was just disappointing. For me a "true" tv series is not a bunch of short hour long stories. But a long story/movie that can only truely be judged after the end of the show. Each season is like a chapter of the story and each episode a paragraph. You can't just reset what was done the paragraph before but evlove from what has already been written. They didn't do that. They just dropped the alien aspect of the show.

Personally, I feel Roswell was one of the very best sf shows ever. And that conclusion comes from a lot of careful consideration and comparision. And I think they did far better on the overall story than most shows do.

I didn't mind Angel the last seasons. However Roswell was one of the worst and betrayed shows to ever grace the screen of tv. The first season was good and built up. Season 2 started out good and then was turned to crap by making Tess evil after they had stressed her importance. Season 3? Well, that is just dead to me. The entire season made no sense.

I found Angel in recent seasons to be
unbelievably bad and to be an utter betrayal of everything the show had started out as and of the audience. And I feel the show made zero sense later on and lost all credibility. And watching it ended up being like drowning in a super-heated mix of sewage, barf and charcoal. As for Roswell, I feel it did
indeed "grace" the tv screen. I think it was one of the best shows ever on tv. Season one and two were both great (though not perfect) and season 3 had its faults but plenty of good too.

What to some people is destroying a character is to others developing the character. And from what I've seen, I'd say that sort of disagreement probably comes up in all shows' discussions. Some characters are certainly destroyed on shows, but some just develop and change. I guess we just don't agree which is which.
