M = The male, F = The<br \/>\nfemale, who did the commentary.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>M &#8211; Suppose to be a Tess and Liz episode. Where Tess and Liz were suppose<br \/>\nto switch bodies. And it was going to be kind of a Freaky Friday, and they<br \/>\nwould learn more about each other, and, while that was happening we had<br \/>\nthought of a runner where Max and Michael take his money and go off to<br \/>\nVegas. And so we pitched that episode to Jason, and what he really sparked<br \/>\nto was the whole Vegas idea. And he said &#8216;Well if were going to go to Vegas<br \/>\nwhy take two characters, let&#8217;s just take all of them.&#8217;<br \/>\nF &#8211; It also was a story about friendship. Especially about Max and Michaels<br \/>\nfriendship and also get Liz and Tess closer together just because&#8230; Coming<br \/>\noff from the Hybrid Chronicles there was a lot of emotion running high and<br \/>\nstaff felt like it was time to remind everybody and us why these people were<br \/>\nfriends. And just do a lighter episode, and more of a bonding episode and<br \/>\njust have a good time.<br \/>\nM &#8211; Yeah there are a lot of things that we aren&#8217;t able to address every week<br \/>\nbecause we&#8217;ve always got some kind of threat coming in. So there are things<br \/>\nlike, are Michael and Maria still together and if so, what&#8217;s there<br \/>\nrelationship like. And are Kyle and Alex friends, and how do the women on<br \/>\nour show hang out together, and that kind of thing. So we felt like this<br \/>\nwas a good opportunity to see the other side of the relationships in a<br \/>\nsetting that has nothing to do with evil aliens coming in and trying to hurt<br \/>\nour kids, &#8216;cuz it&#8217;s more about how our kids interact as friends. Which I<br \/>\nthink the audience really likes to see.<br \/>\nF &#8211; And we like to see too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to cariecre for this: Transcript of the writers&#8217; commentary added to Roswell &#8216;Viva Las Vegas&#8217; From www.thewb.com Viva Las<\/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":[579,825,578,834],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-roswell","tag-aaron-harberts","tag-commentary","tag-gretchen-berg","tag-viva-las-vegas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1679","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=1679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1679\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1679"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
