Kivar went to them. They didn't even try to go to him. I call that either the dumbest thinking for a leader or that they abandoned their people.

If Season 3 became season 4 and they worked it to a point where things made sense. Sense for them to give up on the war, for Tess/Nasedo to betray them, ect. Then I would have a completely different view of the show overall.

I agree, they have ever right to lead their own lives. However, when your life and what you do/or say(basicly in position if greta power) will affect others in such a profound way. You have a responsiblity to the people. That can't be ignored.
Do you watch The West Wing? Remember when the Presidents daughter was kidnapped? He envoked the 25th. Removing himself from power because he knew he might not act in the interest for his people. That's a leader.

Strikes me as more the people who used them as pawns in a conflict and doomed them to an existence trapped between two worlds. And I think the pod squad fitted in better with humanity and Earth than they'd have fitted in on Antar.

We will never really know.
I wish we would it would help to clear some things up if they would have went to Antar.

Her children were the leaders of their people. To say that they were not all ready involved is uncanny. All of us are trapped by something. I'm many different races of human. Do I blame my parents for this? No, I move past it. I deal if people have a problem it's their problem.

I never tried to force you to think anything. I was just stating my opinion. And it is my opinion that Roswell overall was bad.

The Stargate threads are for appreciation. This was opened by a poster who said and I quote. "Ah! I hate/love tv series.... " Since this is the Sci-Fi board and we have a Roswell board. I assume that this is a place to not only talk about what you like about the show but also what you disliked about it.

As for loving a show and hating how it turned out, well, not evereybody has to feel as you do, so I'd appreciate if you allow me to feel about Roswell as I chose.

I know that everyone doesn't feel like me. It would be a borning place if everyone did. I have never tried to stop you from feeling a certain way. Again, I am only expressing my opinion. You are free to do so as well. I would never try to deny anyone that basic right. I'm sorry if you felt that I was trying to "control" your way of thinking.

And frankly I think your view of Roswell is overly narrow, not allowing that the show might have a wider or different spectrum of focus then you thought, not allowing for it to develop within that focus.

The same could be said about you view on the show. Or anyone's view for that matter.

In the first episode it was about finding their alien past. Ever since photos with the sliver hand print was seen by Liz. They found that past and learned their purpose. So the war and "destiny" was a huge driving force and the most source of sf for the show. They didn't have to make it a war but they did. Because wars get attention. They are important.

You can't fix feeling alienated some times when you come from different worlds. You can only try to understand and accept that fact. That you will always be different, special.

I would agree with that but they introduced a war into the mix. They didn't have to make it a war. It could have been something different. They could have been abandoned or whatever. You can still make connections with people while trying to help save your people in a war. Especially if you are the last hope for your people. Not only yours but all of the Royal Families of your system.
