Geocities is acting up for me so I can&#8217;t upload the image right now.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I just got my new soap opera weekly and there was a pretty interesting<br \/>\narticle about Roswell in the prime time section. I scanned the tiny picture<br \/>\nthat was with this article of Michael and Laurie. Hope everyone enjoys!!<\/p>\n<p>**Picture caption: Michael and Laurie deal with their bond, then fight to<br \/>\nsurvive.<\/p>\n<p>Alien Menace Attacks Roswell!<br \/>\nFor dedicated fans of the sci-fi soap Roswell, missing the Feb. 19<br \/>\nepisode would be like sleeping through a mass-UFO sighting &#8212; everything<br \/>\nhappens. &#8220;We want to sort of clear the decks,&#8221; says executive producer Jason<br \/>\nKatims of the fourth and final chapter of the mystery-blasting &#8220;Hybrid<br \/>\nChronicles&#8221; story. &#8220;We also got excited about the human side of these hybrid<br \/>\naliens, and their search for the part of themselves from the other world.<br \/>\nThat was the inspiration for this arc.&#8221;<br \/>\nHybrid Michael (Brendan Fehr) takes on the truth about runaway hybrid<br \/>\nLaurie, forming what Katims calls the episode&#8217;s emotional side. &#8220;Laurie&#8217;s<br \/>\ngrandfather was the donor for Michael&#8217;s human half, so, essentially, Michael<br \/>\nis Laurie&#8217;s grandfather!&#8221; he notes. The action side permits the much-maligned<br \/>\ntown of Roswell, where Max and his heroic teen team battle the Gandarium &#8212;<br \/>\ndeadly crystals from the hybrid kids&#8217; homeworld that, Katims says, &#8220;have been<br \/>\nusing their power to create the hybrid in Laurie.&#8221; Jock Kyle and wimp Alex<br \/>\naccidentally learn how to stop the parasitic force that could destroy the<br \/>\nEarth &#8212; but they&#8217;re being buried alive with the knowledge.<br \/>\nThe havoc doesn&#8217;t stop there: &#8220;Michael is shot, Isabel is kidnapped by<br \/>\nGrant,&#8221; Katims previews. As for the long-running question of whether the<br \/>\ngeologist is evil or just misunderstood, he offers, &#8220;Yes (laughs). You<br \/>\nunderstand why Grant has been involved in some shady behavior.&#8221;<br \/>\nFor those wishing to jump into this intense but down-to-earth series,<br \/>\nfuture episodes feature stand-alone stories, including a fun trip in Las<br \/>\nVegas, and a school prom. Then on April 30, Katims warns, &#8220;One of the main<br \/>\ncharacters is killed. It raises the stakes for everybody else on the show for<br \/>\nthe rest of the season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Marc Wilkofsky<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Christi for this.
