Did you ever think about what the old photo Liz showed tourists in the caf\u00e9 \u201creally\u201c shows? The one with the alien?<\/p>\n
I thumbed through the first Roswell High book, The Outsider recently and I thought it quite interesting to find out more about it, which I definitely couldn\u2019t remember from my last reading session.<\/p>\n
As you know, the Pilot of Roswell is based on the first book of the series by Melinda Metz and Laura J. Burns, while it already sets its own direction. On the first few pages Liz is waiting tables on the tourists we know as Larry and Jennifer in the TV adaption.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, did any of your relatives ever tell you any stories about, you know, the UFO crash?\u201d the guy asked Liz in the books, saw her moment coming and pulled out a worn black-and-white photo and layed it in front of the Crashdown Caf\u00e9 guests. \u201cA friend of my grandmother\u2019s took this picture at the crash site \u2013 before the government cleaned it up.\u201d<\/p>\n
The guy reached for the photo with the idea to put the photo on his Roswell Incident website, but Book Liz immediately snatched the photo away. \u201cYou\u2019d be dead by the end of the week,\u201d she explained to the tourists and that the Air Force still doesn\u2019t want the truth to be exposed.<\/p>\n
The two tourists are hanging on Liz\u2019 every word as she gives them the speech.<\/p>\n
Book Liz is saving all her tips in the \u201cHasta la Vista Fund\u201d for the time she finally leaves the town.<\/p>\n
She receives some great tips from the tourists at the Crashdown Caf\u00e9 since she is offering them literally a \u201cWhoa\u201c moment by showing them a photo of an alien and that\u2019s what the Sci-fi enthusiasts secretly hope for to see in the infamous city. At least this is a story they can tell when they are back from their trip and Liz gives them a good one.<\/p>\n
Book Maria is pretty impressed by the tips Liz made and she said to her \u201cMaybe I should get my own picture of a baby doll someone left out in the sun too long.\u201d Maria also jokes that she doesn\u2019t know if she could do the whole \u2018you\u2019d be dead by the end of the week\u2019 thing without cracking up. Liz practiced that in front of the mirror.<\/p>\n
What do you think? Could the picture used in the TV adaption be a doll that melted in the New Mexico sun?<\/p>\n
