HERC Reviews 2nd ROSWELL of Sweeps!!

this is the one to watch by andyunder	Feb 12th, 2002 12:42:57 AM
I just saw it (we get it Monday nights in Canada) and this episode is great. Lately the show hasn't been to alienized but this is one of the best Roswell episodes ever. I pray this show does not get canceled.
At least this didn't end up being the last episode by johnnysunshine	Feb 12th, 2002 02:20:31 AM
Thankfully, we'll get at least an 18 episode season, though 22 would be better. There have been some better episodes as of late (Behind the Music, A Tale of Two Parties, Ch-Ch Changes) and I hope they get to continue doing them. This ep looks good. The last benefitted from keeping the extremely boring Isabel and Jesse off screen and I hope this ep does the same.
wow, the ending actually shocked me!! by pastelstar	Feb 12th, 2002 02:48:56 AM
as opposed to bored, which is usually what happens this season. The show's in a death spiral, but it'll be interesting to see how they solve this Max-dust problem. Hurrah for seeing Roswell on cityTV on mondays!

Thanks Herc for your reviews- they don't need to read if they don't want to watch. but they do they are Roswell fan wannabe's... can't wait for tonights episode sounds like a shocker...
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! by MargoFargo	Feb 12th, 2002 04:04:11 PM
i have watched it from the begining and i have loved it since then. to me this is the best show on TV. although the first season was the best (it was absolutley GREAT) i really love the show no matter what season it is. if they decide to cancel it i will be sad to see it go. im am also sad that most of the actors dont even want to do it anymore. it just kinda ruins it. i just wish that they didnt bring Jesse into the picture because i really hate him. i have nothing against Adam but i HATE Jesse!
Down but not out! by Skippy	Feb 12th, 2002 04:38:41 PM
Great episode! The thought of Liz in an girl boarding school tickles my fancy to be sure! This episode has sucked my back into the Roswell universe. As Kramer once said of Frank Costanza's screen door........."She's still got a little life left in her!"
Sounds delicious and thanks Herc. by seth maxim	Feb 12th, 2002 05:51:41 PM
This episode sounds great and I can see that ROSWELL is finally returning to it's roots while still keeping the story moving ahead intstead of looping formulas like some other shows. And to Herc we the fans as well as AICN loyalists are most appreciative of your support for the show as well as your reviews.Keep up the great job! I've also noticed that some MIA fans who stopped watching because it got off to a rocky start this season have returned and to them I'd just like to say wise decision and welcome back. Mr. Katims, UPN thankyou for your support and giving the fans what they desire. Oh and thankyou talkbackers who prove your intelligence by posting"Herc why do you even write Roswell reviews, Roswell sucks, no one cares anyways". I know that you really watch ROSWELL and your boyfriends do too. By the way ROSWELL did get the 20 episode order instead of 22 or 18, the last 2 episodes are considered as the 2-hour season finale, god just saying and thinking about that made me orgasm. Well I have to go clean this mess up before it stains, but until next GOOD DAY, GOOD AFTERNOON,GOOD NIGHT AND LONG LIVE ROSWELL.

Excellent Episode!!! Come back Max! by joshuaonenine	Feb 12th, 2002 10:19:12 PM
I loved this episode. This is one of the best episodes this season.Wowzer!!!Now, I just have so many questions and anticipations for how this is going to end.Is Max really dead?If not how does he survive?Are Liz's powers perminent? How is Isabel going to explain herself to her husband?Is Roswell going to be around for another season?So many questions,So little time!
PLEASE DON'T TAKE ROSWELL OFF WE LOVE THE SHOW by ANGEL 97	Feb 12th, 2002 10:28:30 PM
TONIGHTS ROSWELL WAS A SHOCKER, LAST WEEK LIZ PARKER LEFT TO GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL AND THAT WAS HEARTBREAKING ENOUGH TO SEE MAX EVANS OUTSIDE LIZ'S WINDOW IN TEARS AND NOW,THIS WEEK SEEING MAX BECOME A PILE OF DUST I DON'T THINK THE TRUE ROSWELL WATCHER CAN HANDEL IT. WHEN LIZ GOES BACK TO ROSWELL BUT I THINK THAT NOW SHE HAS SPECIAL ALIEN POWER BECAUSE MAX HEALED HER, MAYBE AND I PRAY THAT SHE CAN SAVE HER TRUE LOVE DON'T LET ROSWELL END THIS WAY KEEP IT ALIVE CAUSE ROSWELL ROCKS.
Well, that was indeed a cliffhanger! by Twig	Feb 12th, 2002 10:56:17 PM
Glad I avoided the spoliers. Looks like this show's writers KNOW they're done, and plan on going out with a bang.
A show worthy of television by parnellbc	Feb 13th, 2002 08:58:55 AM
This was one of those standout episodes in the life of a series. This show moves in baby steps and then explodes with character development thats been building up. I hope that whatever Jason Katims plans it is indeed good enough to convince UPN, along w/any rating increase to keep Roswell alive. I'll have to assume that Sleazy G is more in tone with a "Buffy" oriented story arc and has trouble shifting focus. You see in reality we all shift focus, ambitions and dreams at any time. These characters and the chaotic life they live are going to be shifting back and forth from several dreams they have. Much like people have family, education, professional and romantic plans at different times in ones life any combination or one may be the focus at any time. Roswell handles the shift of these characters and their fictional lives in such a way that is believable in the unbelievable world they inhabit. LONG LIVE ROSWELL.

Save ROSWELL by pilong	Feb 13th, 2002 06:59:47 PM
Any true fans out there who want to keep Roswell on the air sign this petition directed at UPN. It's purpose is to at least get us the full season (21 episodes) and maybe even get the show back for another year. I know the show had a pretty bad beginning (new looks and the Iz/Jesse garbage), but the last few episodes have been really good. I definetly want to see what kind of powers Liz, Kyle, and Valenti end up getting. Plus all the other good stuff. Go to this site, http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ RSwell/ and sign. It only takes 1 minute to do. Save the Aliens!
"Roswell" going dark for March by MGTHEDJ	Feb 14th, 2002 12:43:55 AM
Noticed on the "Enterprise" broadcast that "As If" is getting Tuesdays at 9/8 central in March. My question is "Who Will Watch?" Tuesday night is evenly split up among "24", "Smallville", "NYPD Blue", "Guardian", and the NBC sitcoms. The "Roswell" fans will not stay, the "24" fans will still have first runs, will "Smallvillle" watchers tune in if that show is in reruns? As for those wanting the show saved, sadly the actors don't want to do it anymore. Personally what I would prefer is let them go, have Les M. the new UPN boss fire Berman and Braga from "Enterprise", and make Frakes, Ron Moore, and Robert Wolfe the Exec. producers. They would then hire all the former Trek writers who have been in exile since the end of "DS9". Cast Shiril A. in the "Batman" movie (she'was in a ep of "Batma Beyond"), Delfino in a good comedy-- maybe something for Gilliam, and Katherine H. should be groomed to inherit the roles that Jennefer Connely is now being offered. The guys: Hanks is off and running, the others will bounce around and if they are lucky could land something to launch them to superstardom. Sadler will go back to his character roles.-----later-----m
Hey Sleazy G. by Kort Villikon	Feb 15th, 2002 10:16:30 AM
Roswell has held fans....for 3 years now and maybe a forth. As far as story arcs go. Babylon 5 had great ones but how many non SF fans saw it?
Wow what a HUGE fucking ending... by Led Gopher	Feb 17th, 2002 08:21:08 PM
you weren't kidding when u said "jaw dropping"! i nearly shit my pants when Max burst into flames like that, then dissapated like that. i am really looking forward to the next episode.
