\"NetflixYou might have watched the B+T promo more than a billion times by now and speaking along the words, right?<\/p>\n

So, which Roswell easter eggs did you spot in the promo? Besides the Jetta and the 285 South sign? There were many in it and they came in such a funny and natural way that we just can\u2019t wait this show to get picked-up. (Note: The promo release doesn’t mean that the show has been picked up. Majandra and Brendan need the help of the fans & dans to make it into a reality. Check www.crashdown.com and our social media pages for the latest news!)<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s go through the 5 minutes of candy-joy together and decode some easter eggs! Be sure to have watched the promo<\/a> before you read on. <\/p>\n

Roswell references<\/h3>\n

\"Roswell
\n1:13 min<\/a> \u2013 Baron passes a street sign that says 285 South, which happens to be the ultimate Roswell episode for all the Candy shippers, where Maria and Michael are on the road.<\/p>\n

\"Roswell<\/p>\n

1:33 min<\/a> \u2013 In Roswell Michael sat down on the side of a road before he was picked up by a truck driver in “Independence Day”. Poor Baron is sitting in the desert heat waiting for a ride.<\/p>\n

\"Roswell<\/p>\n

1:41 min<\/a> \u2013 First appearance of The Jetta<\/em>. On Roswell, Maria’s mom owned a VW Jetta, which was driven by Maria (or Michael sometimes) through all three seasons of Roswell.<\/p>\n

\"Roswell<\/p>\n

2:10 min<\/a> \u2013 Toluca asks Baron what he’s listening to. Baron’s answer: Metallica. Brendan Fehr himself is a huge fan of Metallica and so is his Roswell alter ego Michael Guerin. Remember when Max messed up the order of the albums?<\/p>\n

\"Roswell<\/p>\n

2:10 min<\/a> \u2013 Toluca Mendez wears a necklace with the name that says “Maria”. That could be her best friend, mother, sister … or even her middle name. Majandra’s Roswell character Maria wore a name necklace in several episodes.<\/p>\n

\"Roswell<\/p>\n

3:00 min<\/a> \u2013 Familiar Candy-Fight-Feeling. Baron: “Never fails, just talk, talk, talk.”<\/em> In the 285 South episode Maria calls Liz secretly on her cell phone and she starts talking to expose where she is when Michael asks her: “Do you always talk this much?”<\/em> (Liz: Was that Michael? Maria: Liz says I talk a lot when i’m nervous. Very nervous.)<\/p>\n

\"Roswell<\/p>\n

3:14 min<\/a> \u2013 Toluca: Not if you were the last [____] on Earth. (The subtitles in the promo on EW.com<\/a> say “Man”.) On Roswell, Michael teased Maria in the hotel room and her answer was “Not if you were the last alien on Earth.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Roswell<\/p>\n

4:44 min<\/a> \u2013 When Toluca locks the car doors again, Baron asks her “Wait are you kidnapping me?” and Toluca answers playfully “No, I am abducting you.” and laughs. In Roswell Maria’s line is: “Oh, my God. You’re kidnapping me. No, wait, you’re abducting me!”<\/em> (285 South)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The spicy love-hate relationship \u2013 that we loved about the Candy couple – has been transformed in a marvelous way to B+T, as well. Not just the Candy Shippers will enjoy this hunt after references and according to Majandra the series is “going to be chock-full of Easter eggs.<\/em> She told EW, “We\u2019re going to get away with so many Easter eggs that it\u2019s questionably illegal.”<\/em><\/p>\n

We also love that Majandra and Brendan already have some casting ideas. Majandra who wrote the script and Brendan who directed the B+T promo<\/a> don’t want to make promises … but: “Ideally, every episode will have someone doing something that\u2019s very appropriate to who they were on Roswell. For the fans, and for Brendan and I personally, there\u2019s going to be a lot of those nuggets.”<\/em>, Majandra said in the interview which featured an exclusive first look at the B+T promo.<\/p>\n

Brendan explained, “It\u2019s fun for us because we\u2019re like \u2014 what can we fit in here that\u2019s really obscure that people will love?”<\/em> and his hopefully soon-to-be-on-screen partner in crime Majandra revealed “Yeah, it\u2019s our favorite thing. That\u2019s what inspired the whole thing to begin with. It\u2019s like a love letter to our fans, and I want to get that letter right.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This 5 minutes already are a great love letter to the fans and they both enjoy the game obviously. We hope to get to see those two actors together on our TV screen very soon … and surprise appearances by familar actors in front or behind the camera would just be the honey on top.<\/p>\n

When we were asked if the fish flask has any significance, we just can say “Maybe?”. The flask could be a metaphor for Baron stranded in the desert like a fish being thankful that Toluca picks him up because ‘hello air con’<\/em>. (Yes, now you might have a scene from “Monsters” in mind and in minute 4:51 min<\/a> Toluca says “Don’t touch the radio.” <\/em>Sounds familiar?) We also heard the theory that the flask looked similar to a rocket during watching it for the first time. (Or he is drinking Snapple with some Tabasco in it as we read in discussions on Twitter already … We can’t wait to hear theories about that. Or could it just be an accessory, only?<\/p>\n
