Ok, I'm exited for this ep it looks intresting with the whole Liz turning into an alien theme he he I'll be sure to check it out but then agian I do every week don't call me obsessed cause I know you all do too! Anways to the point Watch it, enjoy it blah blah he he I'll post my review after I watch it, bye bye!

I'm sure they won't.

They probably won't kill Liz. Anyway, can't wait for the episode to begin! 20 minutes to go...

Hey folks!

Can you believe it? An actual quality episode in season flee. Who would have thunk it? Although the Maria/record producer bit was hokey and ridiculous, being that they already somewhat used that bit in "Blind Date", and Maria did a far better job with "In The Air Tonight". Other than that, the entire eppy had something that has been missing from RosSh** since "A Roswell Christmas Carol", twenty-some odd episodes ago...QUALITY. Unbelievable! Was the usual "writing" staff all on Christmas break when this one was written? Maybe some Good Samaritan replaced their crack pipes with soap bubble pipes that week? Who knows? But never let it be said that I don't give praise when it is justly deserved.

Some TERRIFIC, emotional, heartfelt, realistic, introspective, character driven dialogue...for once. No Isaboob and Jessidiot...for once. JOY! And what do we have? A Max/Michael scene where Max FINALLY says he screwed up over and over, and Liz NEVER has! Finally the "writers" may have dropped the "redemptive Max" bit they have been trying to foist on the audience-the same crap the audience hasn't bought all season, and have switched channels to get away from. And Max says he will go to the FBI if he has to, to save his beloved, and undeserved, Liz. And Michael BACKS DOWN! My GOD, shades of season wonderful!

Then we have Michael trying to be the "good boyfriend" to his EX! Michael wanting a HUMAN in his life? Realizing what he really wants? And the TOPPER, Michael turning away Maria at the end, realizing that her music career, and whether or not to compromise, is something that only she can choose because she will regret it if someone else makes that choice for her! My goodness! They must have used a Temp Agency for the "writing" staff that week! And THANK GOD for that!

And Liz, rather than burden Maria with her Alien problems, puts her friend's welfare before her own, and struggles on without her! Gee, they actually REMEMBERED what Liz's character is supposed to be! Have they been pulling out their season wonderful tapes, and finding out what good writing and good characters are or what!? And they even REMEMBERED that Maria is supposed to be a little wacky! And her oils are back! WOW!

And they remembered what Liz and her dad are SUPPOSED to be like together! They EVEN had subtle undertones from the first season, how Liz just may be "little miss studious Harvard scientist wannabe hopeful" because of her parents pressure! Subtlety like this hasn't been seen in Roswell since season wonderful, other than in the fanfic realm. Maybe those goofs are reading the fanfics, to find out what quality storytelling really is? If they are, I sure hope they continue!

Can you believe the great Liz/Kyle scenes!? Friendship? On RosSh**? Someone pinch me! Kyle keeps his wonderful sense of humor AND is there for Liz, whenever she needs him! JOY! And Max is willing to RISK EVERYTHING for her!

The TRUTH comes out! How could that Alien A** sleep with TRASH! And mention the DEMON SPAWN all of the time! And Max feels like a heel. AS HE SHOULD! And Liz walks away from Max...AS SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE SEASON PREMIERE!

What? TATB might FINALLY be REALIZING WHY HALF of the FANS have BOOKED for SMALLVILLE? Or did UPN finally put JK on the leash he so justly merits? And my is it a SHORT ONE if he was forced to actually put out an episode like this one, that is completely and diametrically opposed to all of the other CRAP he has spewed out since the last six episodes in the last horrific season.

And LIZ decides to get her life back under control and walks away from His Royal A**H***! She found her BACKBONE! Liz Doormat is gone, and Liz Parker is back! It's about d***ed TIME! And Max is even acting a little bit like MAX is SUPPOSED TO! Now if he would only LOSE THE LEATHER and keep eating HUMBLE PIE 'til the stars burn out.

Pity they are still continuing to HUMILIATE poor Jim Valenti with the "Kit Shickers" CRAPOLA! He must really be making a dent on the old mortgage making twenty bucks a performance. Who knows, maybe COMMON SENSE will come back to the "writing staff" and they will drop that horrendous subplot? I can dream, can't I?

Special mention has to go to: Maria's hair. Obviously the make-up and wardrobe department was manned and ready by the same morons that have been bargain hunting on Maxwell Street in Chicago. Just fire them already. They suck dingleberries. Maria's hair looked like a cross between Bride of Frankenstein/Pippi Longstocking/Great Aunt Frieda/And an electrical storm. Made her Crash Helmut/Romulan Centurian/Female Impersonator style from The Pilot look like High Fashion. Mr. Blackwell is going to devote a chapter just to this episode.

What can I say? Even with this episode's shortcomings, of which there are many, it was still GOOD! It could even be WATCHED AGAIN! When was the last time any one of you actually wanted to do THAT?! Let's just hope that this wasn't just a flash in the pan, but signifying of better things to come! If they actually put out episodes like this one on a regular basis, fans may actually come back!

Now all they have to do is undo all of the HORRENDOUS DAMAGE they have done: Tex, SpOT, Alex, et al, and they might have a ratings WINNER on their hands!

All my love,

Rick

I loved this episode. I watched it again tonight even though I seen it early Saturday.

1.Shiri was back in the lead.

2.No Isabore(I apologize to any that like her, but I simply can't stand her).

3.The episode felt like it came from S1.

4.SA/JB's chemistry felt real again. I've seen the chemistry in some of the other episodes this season but it wasn't anything like S1 and well tonights was. Especially the window scene.

5.Liz going off on Max. It should have been done a long time ago.

6.Kyle they finally gave him airtime without it having to involve a character I can't stand (again sorry as I stated above)

Now my biggest shock was my brother who has probably never watched a complete Roswell episode since it's been on the air. Actually watched tonights.

A great epi specially for season flee ^_^. One question tho if Liz gets alien powers cause she was healed by Max does that mean that all of the people Max healed will eventually have something like this happen to them? If that's the case all of those children that he healed on Christmas and not to mention Kyle and Samuel... Just a thought.

IMO It was a very exelent episode. I loved the whole idea of Liz getting alien powers and her needing to leave to find the normal-ness he he. I really started to hate Max in this season but in this episode I actually felt sorry for him and I started to notice he was acting more like season *wounderful* Max always did. I'm a big fan of M&M and can't wait till the get back together, I loved the fact that Ria is starting up the whole musical thing agian. But I felt sorry for Michael he wants Maria so bad and she's just messing with him through out this hole episode. It was pretty good though when he didn't let her come into his house ha ha. I think she desearved that there lol anyways I'm off bye bye

Kyle had so much screentime that I had to love this episode. Kyle rocked. I love that Liz went to him with her problem. Yeah, he can relate, but she also knows that Kyle actually knows how to be a friend. After last night, I am officially a Loyalist.

Liz told off Max for sleeping with Trash and rubbing it in her face by whining about his son. I really had to love this episode.

Max is just plain creepy now. Seems a lot of people liked him, but he's giving me the heebie jeebies. And he looks so very, very old. How can anyone think he can get away with playing a high school student? It was so great when Liz closed the wondow on him. Hard to believe I used to love them together. ::shudder::

Maria - could there be any more shine on that girl? That opening number... did they even listen to that before they aired this episode. She should never sing that song again. She sounded fine singing the other song (in the studio) but the sucked at Paradise by the Dashboard Lights. Plus there was that ick factor of singing a duet with Jim. Go to New York, Maria. Go play with Rath and Lonnie. Whatever. I loved it when Michael asked her if she even knows what's going on with Liz.

Isabel was great in this episode. Yup.

Did I mention how great Kyle was?

i saw the Pilot
