The new Expose’ Special edition has 2 very good articles on Roswell and some wonderful pictures.<\/p>\n
“The New Season: ROSWELL”<\/p>\n
They seemed to be teenage kids, but they weren’t. Well, some of them
\nwere, but the others at Roswell High were aliens. And now they have to
\nsave the planet, discovers Clement K. Strobe.<\/p>\nI’m not really sure what last year’s new season preview said about
\nRoswell. Being a new show there was, no doubt, quite a lot of advance
\npublicity and it probably covered all the relevant points. That is:
\nthree teenage aliens, three teenage human friends and their attempts to
\nkeep their secret from the authorities. More importantly, however, the
\nseries was about Max and Liz; about how their typical adolescent
\nconcerns were paralleled, and often complicated, by the fact that one of
\nthem was an alien.
\nIn many other TV series that would probably cover all bases for this
\nyear too. TV producers are very fond of finding a formula that works and
\nsticking to it (I’m talking mainly about Star Trek). Just beyond the
\nmid-point of Roswell’s first season, however, the show was moved from
\nWednesdays to Mondays and a decision was taken to play up the science
\nfiction elements of the show. This time around, we’re not starting from
\nthe assumption that Max seems a pretty average high school student who
\nthen turns out to be a little out of the ordinary. This year we start
\nfrom the unsettling knowledge that he’s the leader of an alien race who,
\nby the evidence of last season’s finale – Destiny, is about to be
\npitched headlong into a battle with another race of aliens led by a
\nmember of the Backstreet Boys.
\nIt seems likely, even given this rather melodramatic shift in the
\nscale of Roswell, that the producers will claw back a little of what
\nwent before. Noting that the three aliens and the three humans had
\nrather cosily paired up, a fourth alien in the shape of Tess (Emilie de
\nRavin) is to become a regular. According to the message left behind for
\nour alien friends, she is destined to pair off with Max. But even if
\nsaving the world figures strongly on Max’s ‘to do’ list for the rest of
\nseason two, it seems a safe bet that he’ll still want to be with Liz.
\nIt’s also worth considering that there is now an alien working
\nundercover in the FBI special ‘alien hunting’ unit. We will just have to
\nwait and see whether that will prove useful or just keep the authorities
\noff their back. Meanwhile, co-creator Jason Katims is hinting that a
\nregular character may be killed off. Who will that be? Well, that would
\nbe telling . . . nominations can be sent to the editorial office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to Ray Joni for this :) The new Expose’ Special edition has 2 very good articles on Roswell and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-roswell"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1082"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
