Yeah I don't LOVE that hair either, but I've certainly grown to accept it

**Crystal Clear** · 03-06-2019, 08:23 AM

I loved him with the spiky hair, it just felt like it defined Michael's cool and broody exterior

Brendan clearly wanted to be more casual and himself by S2

Spiky hair is classic Michael Guerin, that's for sure. The other seasons, it felt more like Brendan Fehr than Michael Guerin. Spikes all the way, for me

.

**Roswell 10/2/00** · 03-06-2019, 10:36 PM

I liked the spiky hair as well. However the long hair made Michael look like a hippie more then a brooding rebel.

I LOVED his hair in season two.

**Crystal Clear** · 03-07-2019, 02:31 AM

That's what I mean

Like Mag just said ~ he was more Brendan than Michael by the end. I adore Brendan, but come onnn

It definitely reinforced the idea that after Season 1, the actors making more of an impact on their characters' journeys.

Majandra was open on the DVD features about the point that she wanted Maria to rediscover her passion for music, much like herself.

I think it's okay to participate and propose stuff for the characters. But it's not okay to just copy the actors's lives and paste it on the characters, just because the writers are stuck and have no idea about what to to with them.

Talking about reboots, it's Mad about you's turn. I loved that sitcom, back in the days. Although now, it's more a sequel, since it's with the same actors, only 25 years later. Kind of like Fuller House. It should be called a direct sequel to the original sitcom rather than a reboot, right

?

Exactly. When the actors are basically doing their own thing, then the show's losing something.

I haven't seen it but was Lisa Kudrow in it? I remember her saying she based Phoebe's twin Ursula in Friends on her character in Mad About You

Damocles · 03-07-2019, 06:22 PM

Yeah I would call that a reboot I think, I'm not sure why they were calling Roswell NM a reboot because it's a remake? Seems like there's some confusion out there

Ugh my head hurts trying to understand the difference these days

I haven't watched the new Roswell and a major reason is the idea of watching a completely different version of Michael (and Maria) is just off-putting.

Yeah, Roswell isn't a reboot, a reboot would mean rebooting the original show with the same characters, the same stories, but not the same actors.

A sequel is a reboot with the original stories and orignal actors.

A remake is taking the same characters/stories and going in a different direction.

At least, that's how I see it. But we should need a new term for shows that use the same universes in shows, but not the same main characters, like Star Trek Discovery. It becomes complicated so people simplified it by saying "reboot". It's TV magic

I have a better understanding of the difference, now. Thanks, Mag.

I'll never understand the hype for the new one, but I just keep schtum about it because otherwise I'd be told I have no right to judge something that I don't even watch.

Candies forever!

Speaking of Candies.

Well, that's not the official explanation of the differences between reboots and sequels, it's just my personal interpretation because with all those "reboots", some are :

- sequels with the same actors, years later (Fuller House, Will & Grace, Mad about you, Murphy Brown),

- others are remakes, which take the concepts of the show, names of the characters but with new actors and the storylines going in a new direction (MacGyver, Magnum, Roswell),

- others are spin offs which take place in the same universe (Stargate Atlantis/Universe in the SG1 universe or Star Trek Discovery in the Star Trek Original show/First Generation/DS9/Enterprise/Voyager)

All that apparently classed under the "reboot" generic title. That's how I see it, maybe I'm wrong.

**Roswell 10/2/00** · 03-09-2019, 10:26 AM

I think of reboots liek the 90210 one. They had a new cast mixed in woth some of the original cast and some of the storylines from the original were mentioned so it makes sense to me to be a reboot.

The reboot of Roswell to me is a totally new show. It does not follow where our show left off.

But that is my opinion. What falls under the umbrella of a reboot is so confusing.
