Back To Index Roswell - Season 2
 Barnes & Noble After a strong first season that sometimes relied too heavily on the teen-angst factor, Season 2 of Roswell took a different route and focused almost exclusively on the shows sci-fi element. Last season saw teenagers Max (Jason Behr), Isabel (Katherine Heigl), Michael (Brendan Fehr), and Tess (Emilie de Ravin) finally discovering the truth about their existence: Max is the king of a war-torn planet who must find a way to return and free his people; Tess is his bride; and Michael is his second-in-command, betrothed to Maxs sister, Isabel. This information dominates the plots of Season 2, as Liz (Shiri Appleby) must accept the fact that her boyfriend on Earth is really the leader of a foreign world. Liz and Maxs love comes into question in the seasons best episode, "The End of the World," when an older version of Max travels from the future to tell Liz their relationship destroys Earth. New alien enemies seek the destruction of the Royal Four in the tense episodes "Harvest" and "Wipeout!" while "Ask Not" introduces Brody (Desmond Askew), a new character who plays a pivotal role this season and shines in the tense episode "Off the Menu." Valenti (the wonderful William Sadler) takes on a protective role this season after his clandestine dealings with the aliens lead to his suspension from the police force in "We Are Family." When Alex (Colin Hanks) dies in a car crash, Liz believes he may actually have been murdered by an alien in the heartbreaking "Cry Your Name." After Alexs death, Liz must also deal with the announcement that Tess is pregnant with Maxs child in "Baby, Its You." That story line continues in the season finale, "The Departure," with the discovery that the baby cant survive unless it is returned to Maxs planet.

This season had episodes with more focused plots than Season One. Also, it relied less on high school and more on the SF elements of the show. (Dont get me wrong, I liked Season One too.) Though of course, it begged the question, a la Buffy, how anyone had time for class. I thought it ably confronted the problems inherent in Max and Lizs relationship for most of the season. I was disappointed with the final plot twist of the season. I do not love Tess, but the way the season turned out all of the real problems between Max and Liz were swept clean by making Tess evil. A better turn would have been to make Alex an alien bad guy who committed suicide in remorse and find some other way to keep everyone, but Tess, from leaving Earth. That way both Liz and her doubters would each have been partly justified about their reactions to Alex death.Also Recommended: Buffy, especially Seasons 3 and 4, and Stargate for more mature audiences, Farscape, Millennium and X-files.Sabriel, a theatre lover, August 8, 2005 Tess Harding--WHAT?i love Roswell, and my favorite season is the first one--i also wish it wasnt cancelled. the only reason that i dont like this season so much is because of Tess Harding--obviously, Emilie de Ravin does a great job because she makes us all hate her, but i think that everyone loves Shiri Appleby with Jason Behr, and not Emilie de Ravin instead. love the last episode about how Max finally figures out that Liz didnt sleep with Kyle, and then cries. i love it when boys cry.Also Recommended: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed (the first few seasons with Shannen Doherty) Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
