25 years? I refuse. I still remember sitting down for the premiere. Little me was obsessed lol

Then Tess happened and I never felt hatred for a character before how DARE she get in the way of my OTP lmao poor Emilie didn't deserve that 😪

I rewatched season 1 and I think it still holds up pretty well. The mystery was intriguing and William Sadler as the sheriff was great casting.

i hated tess so much i've disliked emilie in literally everything she's ever done, poor woman. they created a truly terrible character with no redeeming qualities lol

LMAOOOO this is me. I had to fight everything in me to move past it watching Lost and Once Upon a Time.

lol I never watched Roswell but one of my high school bffs did and she absolutely despised Tess to the point of commissioning me to write a fanfic for her where Tess died in all manner of gruesome ways. So I found this murder madlibs thing online and printed it out/filled it in, et voilà! Fic written.

That's super weird 😬

We were 14, with a lot of internalised misogyny.

This feels like a good draft for a horror movie.

[deerlike]

Maybe a scenario where a bunch of stupid teenagers find what they presume is just a stupid gory madlibs template for them to vent their frustrations on, until it starts fulfilling itself like a Death Note.

I was thinking more along the lines of 20 years after the OG story people start dying according to what you wrote, police gets a hold of the story & start suspecting you, so you need to hunt down said bff before she kills you and frames you for the deaths lol but I like your idea as well ❤️

[veal]

I would watch it

[digitalqueens]

yeah i rewatched the whole series a few years ago and i liked it

[andisprohi]

lmao Same, my bestie & I hated Tess so much

[helyanwe89]

I liked Tess & her becoming family with the Valentis & hated that they trashed that.

[violentirony]

i agree. i didn’t care about max/liz and knew they were endgame anyway so she didn’t bug me. the valenti dynamic was so sweet and then they ruined it like that 😭

[browneyedguuurl]

I actually liked Tess when she was living with the Valenti’s. I was sad what they did to her.

William Sadler is always a win! ❤️ He just showed up in The Pacific which I just finished watching.
