Then we discovered<br \/>\nthat Max was destined to be with Tess, one of his own<br \/>\nkind, and &#8216;Max and Liz&#8217; became just &#8216;Max and Liz&#8217;.<br \/>\nDespite Liz&#8217;s resolve to keep things that way, our<br \/>\nalien Romeo wouldn&#8217;t take no for an answer.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, if he gets his wicked way then it means<br \/>\nthe end for all of them. To avert such a catastrophe,<br \/>\nFuture Max (14 years older, longer hair and a<br \/>\nlaid-back attitude to shaving) comes back to the<br \/>\npresent, intending to make himself fall out of love\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Best dialogue:<br \/>\nKyle: (discussing Buddhism) It&#8217;s about becoming in<br \/>\ntune with the different planes of existence.<\/p>\n<p>Future Max: (to Liz, in the adjoining room\u2026,) What a<br \/>\nline of crap.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle: Am I taking my boxers off?<\/p>\n<p>Why its so great: This episode exemplifies all that&#8217;s<br \/>\nspecial about the series. It capitalises on the blend<br \/>\nof sci-fi and romance, and in keeping with its teen<br \/>\ndrama roots focuses on the characters trying to work<br \/>\nout how to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>As a rule, the best Roswell episodes are about Liz<br \/>\nand Max (another highlight of this year being Blind<br \/>\nDate), both Jason Behr and Shiri Appleby really sell<br \/>\nthe tragedy of the situation. From moments of comedy<br \/>\n(how they dress Tess) to more tender moments (the<br \/>\ndiscussion about their wedding), the pair demonstrate<br \/>\nwhy the series has been so successful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to NS for this: Article in the XPOSE Special Yearbook 2000\/2001 #14.
