Are you a Roswell fan from the start or did you discover the show later? Either way, we want to draw your attention to a &#8220;Crashdown Exclusive&#8221; post, which was well hidden in the depth of the Crashdown archives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crashdown.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Crashdown.com&#8217;s<\/a> own Liz, posted an exclusive cut scene from the third episode on December 25th, 1999 in order to sweeten the period of reruns for the fans. This cut scene was in the finale shooting script, but never aired and eventually wasn&#8217;t filmed. <\/p>\n<p>However it is a cute Liz and Maria scene. <\/p>\n<p>Do you remember Maria&#8217;s very conservative clothes she wore at the meeting with Sheriff Valenti? We kind of knew that this was Liz&#8217; idea, but we also learn now how Maria felt in that <em>costume<\/em>. In addition, the &#8220;schedule board&#8221; has another fun guest appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Please go back in time with us and sink into the Crashdown.com archives with this <a href=\"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/1999\/12\/huge-cut-scene-from-monsters\/\" target=\"_blank\">HUGE Cut Scene from \u201cMonsters\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you like to share this scene, please link to this page instead of posting it elsewhere.
