Tess seemed sinister because she was meant to early on. She was raised by Nasedo after all. However, Tess if the deal was true had many chances to help it along and help her "allies". She could have let Max and the others get tortured by Nicholas. She could have tried to make Max give Kivar the Granalith. Just to name a few.

Worse then abandoning the reason for characters to exsist? Worse then making main characters disappear? Worse then turning the heroes of the show into selfish love sick dogs?

Roswell can't be one of the best sci-fi shows ever when it almost threw away all ascpet of sci-fi. The only left that was sci-fi about the show was the fact that these characters were alien. Nothing else. Alf had an alien but that doesn't make it a great sci-fi show.

Some characters are certainly destroyed on shows, but some just develop and change. I guess we just don't agree which is which.

It seemed to me that the characters that Liz didn't like became "evil". Tess was made evil after they tried to make people like her more. When that wasn't happening they decided, hmm well lets make her evil. Liz hated Nasedo because he was a "killer" Nasedo did what he had to do in a war. He was protecting his people's only hope. However, lets make him evil as well. Even though he died warning Max of their enemies.
Liz didn't like Max and the alien aspect. So, they forgot about the whole destiny and war issue. Which was the entire reason for the Pod Squad to be there. They can't do that. No matter what anyone says. You can not get rid of a person's basic reason for being. Now if it was said that the war was some how over then I would have thought fine.
Season 1 - They were trying to find about themselves and stay hidden.
Season 2 - They were trying to fight a war somewhat. While keeping their humanity.
Season 3 - They decided to find a child, give him up. (Because he was Tess/Max's and not Liz/Max) And abandon their people. All while thinking, hmm I hope I have a family and get a good job.
If I wanted a another basic teen drama, I wouldn't have started watching a show called
Roswell
