The dialogue is seeded with meaningful inarticulate pauses, the cross-species lovers Liz and Max (Shiri Appleby and Jason Behr) are sweetly sympathetic, with expressive Dubba-Dubba\/Keane-children eyes. And the plight of Max, his sister Isabel and buddy Michael &#8212; they descended from ETs who died in that alleged crash of a spaceship in Roswell, N.M., and they just want to figure out who they are &#8212; is a nice metaphor for the teenage search for identity (see &#8220;Freaks and Geeks,&#8221; above).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/ent\/tv\/feature\/1999\/12\/13\/best\/index1.html\" target=\"_blank\">salon.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to tamara for pointing this out: Roswell was featured along with Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel in Salon&#8217;s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"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-11","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-roswell"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11","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\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
