\nRoswell Pickup Shocked Sadler<\/strong><\/p>\n
William Sadler told SCI FI Wire that he thought Roswell was dead, dead, dead
\nand was shocked when UPN picked up the series. “I was talking to my agents
\nand managers, saying, ‘Let’s look for the next gig, boys, because this is
\nit,'” he recalled in an interview. “I couldn’t imagine how we’d pull this out
\nof the fire.”<\/p>\nSadler co-stars as Sheriff Jim Valenti, who transformed from threat to ally
\nduring the first two seasons. “The WB didn’t want us,” he said. “The numbers
\nweren’t fabulous. But UPN bought 22 episodes. That’s indicative [of UPN’s
\nfaith in the series]. They could have bought six or nine.”
\nYear three will kick off on Oct. 9. When last seen, the aliens (Jason Behr,
\nBrendan Fehr and Katherine Heigl) watched as the murderous and pregnant Tess
\n(Emilie DeRavin) rocketed towards her home planet. Meanwhile, Valenti was
\nwithout a job, having sacrificed everything to protect the aliens he once
\npursued. What will unfold remains to be seen–cast and crew only returned to
\nthe set in late July–but Sadler believes the leap from The WB to UPN will
\nhave a major effect on Roswell.
\n“The two things I’ve heard [producer] Jason Katims talk about is that, one,
\nthe episodes will be more self-contained,” Sadler said. “You can tune in
\nanytime and don’t have to have watched the previous episodes to understand
\nthis one. The other thing is that they’ll be character-driven. They’ll be
\nabout the people and not so much about evil FBI special units, big threats
\nfrom the outside and having to deal with them. Those episodes were fun to
\nshoot, but I don’t think they served us well, and I’m not sure that’s what we
\ndo best. The shows that worked the best were the ones that tug at your heart
\na bit. They’re human stories everybody can relate to. It doesn’t have to be
\nschmaltzy high-school romance. The episode in which we lost Alex–‘Cry My
\nName’–was an example of that.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to Ron, Seth, jp121500, Yoss, leep, Ampris and anyone else who may send this in :) Roswell Pickup Shocked<\/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":[3,2378],"tags":[14],"coauthors":[2273],"class_list":["post-2060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-leading","category-william-sadler","tag-william-sadler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2060","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=2060"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28818,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2060\/revisions\/28818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2060"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=2060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
