Yup. October, 1999. So this October is the 10th Anniversity of the premiere...

It's incredible really that we can still have long debates on this thread and board about a show that will be off the air for seven years in May. And have been started 10 years ago in October.

It shows how unique the show was. And how passionate we are still about the show.

i still remember watching the pilot episode. man, i do love this show. there hasn't been any show like it for me.

it brought me some really amazing friends. There's so much more to Roswell than just a teen sci-fi show. I actually wrote a whole paper about it in college. 20 something pages!!

it is pretty incredible that we (well you guys haha) can still have long debates about a show that's been off air for so long. amazing.

So I finished watching season 1 the other day. The end with Max/Liz breaking up completely reduced me to tears. It was so heartbreaking.

On a different note, I have a bunch of so not nice feelings towards Tess. She just needs to go away. Ugh!

So since hulu only airs the first season I had to run out to best buy and get seasons 2 and 3 today. Can't wait to start watching them!

Long live Max and Liz Evans!

"I'm coming for you Liz." *Dies of fangirl joy.*

OMG Jordy that scene is

i love what one of the writers said about that scene

Jordy4189

Aww... I love that commentary. He's a total Max/Liz shipper. As everyone should be.

*Coccy*

i guess that he was he is the one who wrote ask not too
now that i think about it most of the best quotes are from R.Moore.
it's funny because he was supposed to be this writer that the WB wanted in order to get more sci.fi but then he said that what he liked more about the show were the relationships especially M&L's one and he always talked about it

i love when he says "he's not a captain Kirk." especially since Moore worked for Star Trek too

If only they could have balanced the relationship of Max and Liz in the second season with the science fiction aspect. I get that in the end; the year seperation was needed for both of them to grow to experience both pain, angst but also see that their was temptation out there. And answer just how great was their bond. Could they make it through. We in the end got the answer; that they could. They were soulmates and true love in every definition of the words.

As we have debated in the past about "End of the World". Wish they hadn't gone in that direction. They could have explored Max and Liz and their bond in different ways. Instead of taking it to the extreme they did with End of the World.

So many of the stories in the season 2 could have been done better.

But it amusing that Ronald Moore seem pro Max and Liz. When he was brought on just as Max and Liz were facing their greatest crisis in the second season to emphasize more on the sciene fi.

It's true that I liked Season 3 so much that it's ranked second after the first season in the list of the three seasons because they did go back to focusing on the characters, the couples. They showed that Max and Liz could have issues in their relationship but be together.

But it also just shows that Max and Liz were such a special couple. Alot of it had to do with the fantastic chemistry between Shiri and Jason. I don't know if Max and Liz could have made it with other actors playing the role. The chemistry was so apparent from even moment Max is saving her from the gunshot wound.

Shiri and Jason really sold the characters. And the relationship. Even when Max and Liz weren't together. You could see how much they wanted each other. Max melted whenever he saw Liz. And Liz, you could tell ached to be with Max.

Awww...I loved them so much.

That commentary is just

Hey Destiny_Unfolds!

Love the art Ken!


It's true that Max was Liz's weak spot and she would do anything to help him. I would have preferred her telling Max the truth and going from there, but Liz had to live and learn.

Liz did feel very guilty over Alex's death. Knowing that Alex danced at her and Max's wedding in the first time line and died in the second because of her messing with it took its toll.


TPTB certainly made a big deal out of Liz keeping her virginity. FMax told Liz that after they cemented/made love they became inseparable and Tess left town. We never saw Max and Liz make love, but they did become husband and wife. I believe Max and Liz were bonded since the Pilot episode when he healed her. Them making love would only further establish their bond that started with a touch of Max's hand.

I completely agree with you!


Jason and Shiri were amazing as Max and Liz! Watching their scenes til this day still makes me swoon.

*Coccy*

really
he even said that he joined the cast because he liked Liz's character and Shiri Appleby
in the commentary he said that he ha told her at a wb party and she was embarrassed or something like that

Ronald Moore didn't even write the dreamer episodes so it's not that he could be "biased" (well.. he wrote graduation and chant down babylon and these are very dreamer) but he loved them it' undeniable.
he always talked about them and he clearly said that they were his fav characters when they asked him.

i believe that he was another proof of how you don't have to get rid of love and friendships in order to have more sci-fi


you know with a friend of mine we were talking about actors and what they say about their characters and their relationships
i'm surprised because so many actors didn't understand their characters and the couples.
with Jason and Shiri we're lucky because they totally got their characters
we can say that they were dreamers too

i agree other actors couldn't be the same. they have an amazing chemistry
i hope that they will work together again because they're hot beyond scripts.


ITA
if the meaning of marriage is always the same then they were married from the very beginning when they made a choice and they saw each other souls.
making love was a plus but not the way they got together and i'm glad of it.

You're not the only one. And poor Alex, he didn't deserve that fate.

_gloria

the title, so true
Max and Liz faced many trials and never gave up and so deserved the eternal happiness


that commentary quote is making me squee , expecially the He loves her and she loves him. It's the world to him! -> simple and perfect phrasing of the meaning of the show


Coccy the parallel banner the pics match and it's not random at all for me


Shiri and Jason understood what they were filming, their characters and the overall story, they were smart
other actors don't seem to be that smart and someone is making me want to smash my head on a wall sometimes
Jason and Shiri rocked even in this thing, not only in the chemistry department. Seeing them together in a movie or something is my dream too!


dream on
