(More customer reviews)Only Roswell Fanatics new and old may be able to understand my post...I have never been a "Fanatic" of ANY show and could never really understand why people could get so worked up about fictional shows...until Roswell...I am 25yrs old and have lived a pretty safe & boring life (my bar & clubbing days don't seem that interesting anymore). When the first episode aired, I watched it and was instantly hooked!!! You get so immersed in this show while watching it that everything else fades away until the hour is over. I actually felt like going to visit New Mexico, see what it is like there. In a stupid way, I wanted to visit the "crashdown" café and "see" Maria, Liz, Michael, Max, etc. I wanted to research on the theory behind the real Roswell story. I wanted to know EVERYTHING Roswellian. I finally began to see that there is a bigger and more incredible world out there. It made me a believer that there are thing in this universe that doesn't have an explanation to it and it's ok. This show (can you believe it) made me feel like I have not lived life yet and that there is so much more to life...to live and see.
The sweet innocent (not cheesy at all!) soul mate love of Max & Liz is incredible. Max is calm, silent, and compassionate but can really be strong when he need to...Liz is smart, sweet, interesting and loyal. I can so relate to the character of Liz. I can't put it into words; you have to see to understand. I wonder if I will be able to ever find a love like that?
Although I am a HUGE Max & Liz fan, there is actually a couple that on that show that made my heart beat (just a little bit) more for them...and that is Michael & Maria. Michael is dark, brooding and complicated (love that in a man lol), Maria (Liz's best friend) is the opposite...she is quirky, open and sarcastically honest. She was the comedic relief of Roswell. I knew they should be together the moment when Isabel, Max and Michael were eating lunch and Isabel was saying something to the effect that her and Maria were so different. When Maria saw them she tripped and fell (that had me LOL!) and Michael said that girl was weird. That moment I thought they would make an awesome couple! Yes he was downright rude to her sometimes that I just want to slap him...but he's had a rough life and he doesn't know how to show affection very well. Maria had a lot of affection, so it kind of balanced them...SPOLIER...SPOILER...(for season three)...didn't like what happened to Michael & Maria in Season three. Maria became very cold and unlike herself. She wasn't the person that I have watched grown in Roswell. It made me wonder what happened for her love for Michael?
The rest of the cast is great too...Isabel who is Max sister is beautiful (as is most of the cast IMO), cool, aloof...yet has a certain vulnerability to her...Alex (Liz & Maria dear friend who also has a crush on Isabel) is a little nerdy but downright sweet, kind and a true and loyal friend...Sheriff Valenti is tough, smart, doesn't always realize his actions have consequence but in the end you can see his heart was in the right place...Kyle (Sheriff Valenti's son) was kind of an ass in the beginning but turned out to be a really cool, down to earth guy.
Roswell is a great show and I highly recommend it to everyone. Every time I hear Dido's song (theme song for the show), I thought of Roswell and it makes me very sad that the show is no longer on air. It has such promise to be one of the best shows on tv! I can't wait for season 2 to come out!!!
