\nRonald D. Moore Talks ROSWELL \u2013 Part One<\/strong>
\nCo-executive producer discusses changes for the fan favorite show\u2019s third
\nseason on new network UPN<\/p>\nDateline: Tuesday, October 9, 2001<\/p>\n

\nBy: Correspondent<\/p>\nAs ROSWELL enters its third season, in some ways the show will be
\nre-inventing itself. ROSWELL has a new home, moving from the WB Network to
\nUPN. Both BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ROSWELL are making this move. It
\ngives the show\u2019s writers reason to believe that ROSWELL may have a longer
\ntelevision life than they once expected. Co-executive producer Ronald D.
\nMoore says that executive producer Jason Katims never gives up hope.<\/p>\n\u201cLast season, it looked like the writing was on the wall,\u201d he recalls. \u201cUPN
\nwas just sort of an idea that was getting floated out there, because BUFFY
\nwas talking to them. We were moving out of our offices. It looked like it
\nwas all over. Jason Katims said, \u2018You know what? They just can\u2019t kill this
\nshow. They\u2019ve tried and they\u2019ve tried and it just keeps surviving. Let\u2019s
\nplan next season.\u2019 He was right, so I just have to believe it too.\u201d<\/p>\nSo they started to talk about a third season, which they will have, on UPN,
\nairing after BUFFY.<\/p>\n\u201cThe operative word for this season

\non ROSWELL is change,\u201d explains Moore. \u201cBecause of the way the second
\nseason ended, a lot of the storyline and thread we had been following came
\nto an end.\u201d<\/p>\nROSWELL tells the story of a group of aliens who arrived on the ship that
\ncrashed in the desert in 1947. They stumbled out of their \u201cpods\u201d looking
\nlike human children, and were adopted by people who didn\u2019t know of their
\nancestry.<\/p>\nIn ROSWELL\u2019s first season, teenage alien Max Evans (Jason Behr) used his
\npowers to save the life of a human named Liz Parker (Shiri Appleby). Once
\nshe and her friends, including Maria (Majandra Delfino) got involved with
\nMax, his sister Isabel (Katherine Heigl), and the third alien Michael
\n(Brendan Fehr), they were all in peril. During that first season, Liz and
\nMax fell in love as adventures befell the group. By the end of the first
\nyear, they had made an ally out of Sheriff Valenti (William Sadler) and
\nfound the fourth member of their group, Tess (Emilie de Ravin). She was
\naided by a shape-shifting protector who soon died, leaving them to cope
\nwithout help.<\/p>\nIn the second season of ROSWELL more complications ensued, as the group
\nbattled rival aliens, tried to maintain their secrecy, and figured out where
\nthey came from and how to get home. Tess seduced Max, and she became
\npregnant with a child who would die if not brought back to their home world
\nin a device designed for one trip. At the last moment, the others realized
\nTess was a murderous traitor trying to sell them to the other side. As
\nseason two ended, Tess was launched back to the home planet, leaving
\neveryone else stranded on Earth.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
