Moore, co-executive producer of The WB&#8217;s teen alien series<br \/>\nRoswell, told Space.com that the show has raised the stakes for its central<br \/>\ncharacters. &#8220;The last five or six episodes [of season one] sent them in a<br \/>\nvery specific direction,&#8221; Moore told the site. &#8220;The season finale, called<br \/>\n&#8216;Destiny,&#8217; revealed a great deal about these kids. &#8230; Once you laid that<br \/>\nout, it propelled you in a certain direction for the second season. They<br \/>\ncouldn&#8217;t really ever go back to being just kids.&#8221;<br \/>\nMoore added, &#8220;After the first of the year, we start a new arc that launches<br \/>\nus in a different direction. That one starts in a pretty dark place, with<br \/>\nIsabel getting flashes of a girl who&#8217;s been kidnapped and being held and<br \/>\ntortured someplace. She&#8217;s trying to help her and doesn&#8217;t know who this girl<br \/>\nis.&#8221;<br \/>\nOne thing not to expect this season: a voyage into outer space. &#8220;I don&#8217;t<br \/>\nthink so,&#8221; Moore said. &#8220;[Executive producer] Jason [Katims] and I talked<br \/>\npretty early and said, &#8216;I think the second you put these kids on spaceships,<br \/>\nor take them into an alien planet, it&#8217;s going to change the tone and feel of<br \/>\nRoswell, which feels very much like it belongs here on Earth.&#8217; I think if<br \/>\nyou take the kids too far out of that and stick them into something else&#8211;if<br \/>\nyou put them on the bridge of the Enterprise&#8211;I think you&#8217;re watching a<br \/>\ndifferent show, and it changes the whole tone of the piece.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to SethFish and ITAVAREZA for sending this in: Roswell Stakes High In Season Two Ronald D.
