Tomooka<br \/>\nReview Date: Thursday, February 07, 2002<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with CINESCAPE published today, Jason Katims discusses his hopes for the cult series, ROSWELL, as well as the benefits and pains caused by switching networks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think [the new direction is] good and bad,&#8221; Katims tells us. &#8220;This is a show that&#8217;s grown and evolved over three years, and I&#8217;m very proud of that. I think that we&#8217;ve been through a whole lifetime of these characters, and they&#8217;ve gone through a lot. They&#8217;ve changed and they&#8217;ve grown up&#8230; There have been moments when I feel that we&#8217;ve gone a little bit too far in certain directions at certain times. For example, in the middle of the second season, I felt that the show got too drenched in mythology too complicated. I think we lost a little bit of the heart of the show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That confusion may have prompted WB to let the show slip to UPN.<\/p>\n<p>And while Katims did not have an official announcement about the whether the show will be back next year (it&#8217;s slimly missed cancellation in the past) he did promise, &#8220;We&#8217;re planning a two-hour finale this year, and we definitely know what we want to do. We believe that it will be both a satisfying conclusion to the series, and will also serve as almost a pilot to launch the show into a new direction, which we think will play well with UPN. Hopefully, we&#8217;ll be able to move in a new and improved version of the show. There has been a little talk of one or two two-hour movies subsequent to that. But, I&#8217;m hoping we&#8217;ll get another season on UPN.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the full interview, sign-on with your premium access and check it out in the Television section.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Cinescape.com: Katims talks ROSWELL By: Christopher Allan Smith and Jennifer H.
