omg omg omg omg. This was my FAVORITE show. I loved Max and Liz so much. And then that shit happened in Season 2 and I stopped watching. Ugh, I thought Jason Behr was so hot. I think this is the show that got me started reading fan fiction.

fffffffffffffffffff DAMN

roswell wasn't my first experience with fanfiction, but it was def my first experience with r-rated fanfic lmfao

[imnotasquirrel]

god i was so obsessed with this show. liz was my favorite, probably because i related to her being a total fucking square at the time lmfao. ofc in hindsight it sucks that they whitewashed her character.

anyone else lurk on crashdown and fanforum? majandra and brenden would make occasional appearances, but they were kinda dicks ngl.

also, i just know that the cast hated the fandom's guts for getting the show renewed hehehehehe

eta: i want to rewatch the show but i heard that they changed a lot of the music due to licensing rights? it sucks, bc they did such a good job w/ music the first time around smh

I rewatched it recently, and it's true about the music which was a huge bummer. I will say, though, that the show itself did hold up well for me. Until season three lol. I never finished that season during my rewatch because I could not get past the weird Bewitched episode.

I did a rewatch a few years back and it aged not particularly badly because it wasn't particularly on trend to begin with. Not a lot fashion/pop culture references and the plot could basically take place anytime between 1949 and now without changing all that much.

[imnotasquirrel]

yeah I rewatched the pilot several years ago and it felt, idk, not trendy in the best way possible.

Well, maybe except for Liz's side part lmfao

Roswell was my third fav WB show after Buffy and Dawson’s Creek, but I was irrationally angry at Tess and the entirety of season 2 tbh. Like way too mad for my 3rd fav show lol

[__onthebound]

I was exactly the same!

[thatcovergirl]

Max and Liz were overrated. Future max was the only max I needed to see.

Mariah & Michael were my preferred ship. And Tess w/ Kyle or Alex.

Idk, I liked Tess until they made her unlikeable.
Could’ve done without Izzy’s older husband. 🤷🏾‍♀️ no matter how hot he is.

I loved Maria so much

God, the time I spent on Roswell GeoCities was wild. Good times.
