Jason Katims said it himself today at cinescape.com In
an interview with Cinescape published today, Jason
Katims discusses his hopes for his cult show, ROSWELL,
as well as the benefits and pains caused by switching
networks.
I think [the new direction is] good and bad, Katims
tells us. This is a show that has grown and evolved
over three years, and I'm very proud of that.
I think that we've been through a whole lifetime of
these characters, and they've gone through a lot.
They've changed and grown up. There have been moments
when I feel that we've gone a little bit too far in
certain directions at certain times. For example, in
the middle of the second season, I felt that the show
got too drenched in mythology and too complicated. I
think we lost a little bit of the heart of the show.
That confusion may have prompted WB to let the show
slip to UPN. And while Katims did not have an official
announcement about the whether the show will be back
next year (it's slimly missed cancellation in the
past) he did promise, We're planning a two-hour finale
this year, and we definitely know what we want to do.
We believe that it will be both a satisfying
conclusion to the series, and will also serve as
almost a pilot to launch the show into a new
direction, which we think will play well with UPN.
Hopefully, we'll be able to move in a new and improved
version of the show. There has been a little talk of
one or two two-hour movies subsequent to that. But,
I'm hoping we'll get another season on UPN.
