I won't spoiler space this since I don't know the answer, but I'd speculate they'll get back together after a couple of episodes... I doubt they'd change the chemistry between them TOO much... I could see Alex and Isabel breaking up... or even Maria realizing Michael is not really ready for a relationship... so I wouldn't worry too much.

Mike wrote about the White Room episode: > . . . it still seems to me that they probably put this episode together >rather >hastily. With the quality of the last few shows that preceded it, I wonder >if the White Room was actually supposed to be the season finale. I think it >would have made a much better season finale (without the rescue), wondering >all summer if Max was going to be tortured to death. One of the things that amazed me when I read the books was that this story happens to *Michael* there, not Max! The tv writers seem keen to keep Max as the 'leader' of the group, keeping Michael's character down a little, whereas the books concentrate more on suggesting a contrast in character. I can see that Brendan Fehr's personality might have influenced 'our' Michael, making him seem more laid back and taciturn than the more active and upbeat Michael in the books - but that might have been a calculated shift by the writing team, too. What *will* be interesting will be to see if the writers are bold enough to compromise Max's ability to lead, his hero-status, as the books do. Although it makes for challenging reading, it doesn't look like an obvious way to keep tv ratings up. The books are, as I think I said in the last post, pretty brutal at disposing of characters, so there's lots to anticipate in the new series - good and bad! Although I hope that the promise of 'more sci-fi' doesn't mean we'll lose the romance, I *would* like to see the 'auras' and 'dream-walking' from the books come to life on screen. The aromas might be a bit more difficult! >Anyway, I'm sure we're all waiting to find out more about Tess, and how Tess >and Max are going to get together, and how Tess will replace Liz. all the rotten tomatoes coming at me!!> Not from this direction, Mike! I'm intrigued by how they're going to handle it, too! It does surprise me, how we get stuck on the importance of tv couples sticking together regardless of the problems that come up, whereas in real life we'd (most of us) be pretty short with someone who advised us to stay in a relationship no matter what had gone wrong. Perhaps we like our tv characters to have 'perfect' relationships because we know we can't? Cheers, Colin.

Today's 'Radio Times' (our tv guide) has arrived with great news: BBC2 is going to show the first series of Roswell High on Thursday evenings at 6pm, starting with the pilot next week. That means we get decent quality broadcasts on terrestrial (non-subscription) tv, which in turn means that there's a good chance of the programme developing the kind of popularity which Buffy (which used to have that spot) attracted. The only risk is that the BBC sometimes have a rather nannyish attitude to the content of programmes broadcast before the '9pm watershed'. They used to edit Lois & Clark episodes to the point of illogicality just to cut out hints of sex or violence. Let's hope Roswell High doesn't attract that sort of attention from them. Cheers, Colin.

Ah but then the writers would have to deal with the parents' seeming indifference. Max missing for a few days is easier(?) to explain away that a Max AWOL for three months. ;) But I agree that Destiny seemed rushed. I've looked at the edited scripts, and there was simply too much left on the cutting room floor--stuff that would have assisted the story tremendously. > > What *will* be interesting will be to see if the > writers are bold enough to > compromise Max's ability to lead, his hero-status, > as the books do. I think Max's ability to lead has already been slightly compromised even in the tv series. He's shown himself vulnerable to manipulation (Tess) and controlling Michael has been increasingly difficult. Even Isabel has questioned his leadership at times--"Toy House"--and pointed out that he doesn't have the right to make decisions for everyone else. And Liz, when she disagrees with Max, simply does what she thinks is best. Now, he certainly hasn't been as compromised as the book-Max, but I think the writers have to tarnish his halo a bit more to make his character 'grow' at all. I *would* like to see > the 'auras' and > 'dream-walking' from the books come to life on > screen. The aromas might be > a bit more difficult! I'd love to see the auras too. The connections in the book are fabulous, and I wish we had more of that Us Six Against the World feeling in the tv series. Even at the end of season one, I felt the connections between them all (as the group) were still too tenuous. We've never seen much bonding among the group outside the conventional couples. Where's the girls' night? Why doesn't the tv series offer up a guy-bonding? (In the books, Michael and Alex have the same disturbed sense of humor.) > Perhaps we like > our tv characters to have 'perfect' relationships > because we know we can't? We do get awfully attached to fictional characters don't we? I watched the season finale of another show last night--La Femme Nikita. It was almost the series finale, and before I found out that the fifth season is set, I was thoroughly upset by the finale. It just wasn't emotionally satisfying at all because the romantic pair was left all screwed up. I think for lots of people, it's the idea of surviving impossible odds that makes us so rabid on the idea of Max and Liz staying together, or Michael and Maria getting over their equally disfunctional upbringings and forming a healthy relationship. And we want to see Alex rewarded for his total devotion to Isabel, because haven't we all at some time had that kind of puppy-dog feeling for someone and weren't we crushed when it wasn't returned? The idea of Isabel not coming to realize what a fabulous guy Alex is drives people nuts. Anyway, very long post--apologies for any rambling.

It was a bloody Necedo,at least it looked like him to me. There was a shot of Max running down the alley with no shirt on, him putting Isabel and Michael in some kind of forcefield or something, Max waving his hand over bones and them having an eerie green glow. Also a shot of Isabel, Maria and Tess dancing (possibly from the party episode), Michael being thrown across the room and knocked out. I think that was about it, I'll ahve to check my tape again, but it looks like a great season, I can't believe its still a month away!

I, too, have tried to keep my walls Tess-free and this whole Emilie/Katie thing was BS!!!! I don't like the character Tess either - mainly because I am an avid Max/Liz dreamgirl - but also because she is really manipulative on the show!! Has anyone else noticed that Coling is hardly EVER in the cast photos????

There's no way... he is so obviously in love with Liz. (Sob, sob). Nope, Tess is just going to have to find her own man or become a lesbian. By the way... don't mean to cause a stir, but did anyone else notice maybe a little... lesbo vibes from Tess during the Four Square ep where she is advising Isabel to "look around.. there's signs all around you?" - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Visit http://www.xmission.com/~btvs/roswell/ for help and info. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 19:25:47 EDT From: Jillybean2060@aol.com Subject: Re: [roswell] destiny omg people .. . . sorry but you guys just love to dis tess, she is a great character she brought something new to the show, more scifi, another challenge and you guys stop worryin its almost a guarantee that max and liz will get back together - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Visit http://www.xmission.com/~btvs/roswell/ for help and info. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 21:44:48 -0400 From: "Mel" Subject: RE: [roswell] Roswell cast photos in Teen People Magazine I like Tess as a chracter...but I like M&L as a couple.
