\nRoswell 3.12 FAQ
\nWhat\u2019s it called?
\n“Ch-ch-changes.”<\/p>\n
Who\u2019s responsible?
\nTeleplay is credited to married writing partners Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts (“It\u2019s Too Late and It\u2019s Too Bad,” “Control”).<\/p>\n
What does TV Guide say?
\n“When Liz experiences alien-like changes to her body, she’s forced to contemplate leaving Roswell. In other events: Maria is offered a recording contract in New York City.”<\/p>\n
Does Liz grow extra eyes or something?
\nLiz\u2019s superpowers ” a long-anticipated side-effect of being healed by Max more than two years ago ” are kicking in.<\/p>\n
What kind of superpowers?
\nTypical Roswell stuff. Liz can now melt ceramic plates and set books on fire by touching them. She can short out electronics by waving her hand over them. And, like Michael in the old days, she has little success in controlling these powers.<\/p>\n
Are superpowers the limit of Liz\u2019s changes?
\nNo. She\u2019s faint and distracted and she experiences hallucinations. Her sight and hearing also go on the fritz at really inopportune moments. Her creamy, nubile skin seems at times infused with electricity.<\/p>\n
Sounds like a Liz-centric episode.
\nIt is. We even learn that Liz\u2019s longtime dream is the same as former netlet stablemate Rory Gilmore\u2019s: to attend Harvard!<\/p>\n
What else is TV Guide not telling us?
\nMaria gets so excited about her record deal, she tosses ex-boyfriend Michael to the floor of his residence and has her way with him. (One of the pair attaches much more import to this incident than the other.) Also, Maria is dueting with Jim Valenti when she gets “discovered,” but the invitation to Gotham is not extended to Roswell\u2019s former chief law enforcement officer.<\/p>\n
Does Max\u2019s dad continue his investigations into the aliens\u2019 secret identities?
\nMichael mentions that the scrutiny continues (if off-camera).<\/p>\n
What\u2019s good?
\nLoads of plot. Lots of Liz and Maria and their respective beestung lips. Kyle\u2019s pitch for Buddhism. The much-needed break from Isabel\u2019s exhausting marital woes (the couple is said to be in Santa Fe this week).<\/p>\n
What\u2019s not so good?
\nThe latest tired excuse to keep Liz and Max apart is incredibly contrived. And Maria\u2019s conflict with the record company folks who want to make her famous comes off as cliched insanity.<\/p>\n
How does it end, spoiler boy?
\nLiz rides a bus to boarding school. (But now it\u2019s her idea, not dad\u2019s).<\/p>\n
Why is Liz headed for boarding school?
\nGood question! The superpowers are making her very emotional. She says she\u2019s still pissed at Max for sleeping with Tess last year. She feels a need to put some space between herself and alien-boy.<\/p>\n
Is Roswell cancelled or what?
\nLast Tuesday, crashdown.com reported the show\u2019s third-season order had been cut down to 18 episodes (from 20) and that the show would not be back for season four. UPN later countered that the decision regarding another year of “Roswell” wouldn\u2019t be made till May.<\/p>\n
