Quote:
" A Roswellians Last Plea"
"Your not an, an Alien, are you?"
" It was you."
" Knowing you has made me, human."
" I did that to calm you down."
" Not if you were the last alien on Earth."
" MUD."
Do you recall each of these phrases? If you are a Roswellian than
most likely you do. They are quotes from Season one. A season that
hooked each and every one of us. A season that took us far off to
Roswell, NM, and introduced us to three aliens and three humans,
who's lives soon intertwined. Amazingly we all became intertwined as
wellafter only a few episodes. We each found ourselves wanting more
and counting the days until the next episode.
Then devastation... The WB network was not as interested in
Roswell as we are. What do we do? We set out a full fledged assault
on the WB and come out victorious.
"They're among you now."
" Don't you know what you are to me, what you are always going to be,
You're the love of my life."
" Will you dance with me? I want to have my wedding dance."
" If you kill me you kill our son."
Then the day came... Season 2. I, as well as many other fans were
ecstatic. Each of us sat anxiously in front of our sets. Then by mid
season many of us were wondering what Roswell are we watching? Did we
somehow get sucked into a different alien abyss? Needless to say
Season 2 was not what most fans expected. It had it great memorable
moments, but sadly fell short of many expectations.
Then tragedy strikes again! The WB cancels Roswell. What do we do? We
rally together again. Once again we are victorious! UPN picks up
Roswell. Melinda Metz is on board now. Expectations are high again
for those fans who stuck around after Season 2.
Then there is Season 3 which is still in Progress. I have heard great
reviews and absolutely loved most of the episodes. Of course some
folks are still not pleased and some folks are bitter.
Now we are at the threshold again... UPN is wiping it's hands clean
of Roswell. What are we doing about it? To be real honest, not a
great deal, not to belittle the current efforts by any means. When I
say WE are not doing a whole lot about it, it is because WE are not
in the droves that we once were. Many of those "WE" refuse to vote
in
polls, write to any network and or sponsors any longer. They refuse
to give Roswell another chance. "WE" Refuse to Rally again. What they
do continue to do is post here on the boards and other fan areas.
This I cannot understand... Why not give Roswell another chance? If
you are interested enough to post daily (whether it is good or bad)
then truly what could it hurt? 10-15 min a day to write a snail mail
letter, email, vote on a poll, encourage a friend to come back and
fight for Roswell one last time.
If you want to write ANYONE, anyone associated with Roswell, Do it.
Sci-Fi, UPN, FOX, Sponsors, Futon Critic, Writers, production
company,Savethatshow.com or Savemyshow.com. Tell them you have been
unhappy with the past seasons. Tell them you want more continuity,
tell them anything you want, be honest, (not rude and cruel) tell
them anything you want but tell them you want to keep ROSWELL.
Honestly, what is the worst that could happen? Katims and Co. could
keep the show the same and show they have learned nothing from 3
seasons.
But think... what if they have? What if by some chance they have
figured out what the fans want and could give it to us? They did
once, why not take that chance? What can it hurt? I would personally
rather take the chance than not know.
If you are or ever have been a Roswellian Please, this is the final
stand. The enemy is circling and are troops have been depleted. We
need reinforcements. Come back, fight one last time. Enlist any
friends and family you can. Participate in any way possible on
Fan Forum and other sites. Write and vote anyone you can.
Thank you

3) Please show your support by signing our online campaign
registry:
www.crashdown.com/passion.shtml so we can keep
track of how many people are standing with us.
4) We will also be asking Snapple and Tabasco to help us in this
campaign - of course we are just asking them now, and it's not a sure
thing that they will listen. Those two companies have benefited
greatly by our passion as fans, and we are asking them to return that
same level of passion towards us now in helping us with this
campaign. The campaign crew will be sending letters to the following
people asking for their support. The press releases about the things
we do are few and far between. They could help us with that if they
choose not to turn a deaf ear. (Which may not be the wisest thing to
do to a passionate Roswell fan). If you want to send letters
directly to them now, do so at:
