Roswell, New Mexico

It's hard to live up to the original Roswell, let alone surpass it, but as long as this new Isobel is being played by the current actress it'll never come close. I'm a diehard Roswell fan, and I ended up turning the show off completely.

I have enjoyed this show however Liz is just awful! The actress can not act well. Season 3 I had thought Liz was out of the picture but no... her acting just makes it hard to watch every single time she is on screen.

Firstly I loved the original series and it still rates as my fav all time tv show. Sure the New Pilot lacked in comparison to 1999 but I really liked it and can see so much potential with a different slant on the original story. I'm sad that many original fans have given it so much hate with 1/10 ratings. Its really better than that.. Those are emotional votes and I kind of get the loyalty to the original, but lets give it a chance.. I see Shiri Appleby is directing an episode.. If its good enough for Shiri to give her time and support, I hope original Roswell fans will as well.

So....people watching CW shows really need to realize something. The CW is largely a liberal network. They like to tie their shows in with modern day politics and they like to keep their cast diverse. Roswell New Mexico is definitely a CW show. The casting is strong, Liz Ortecho is a very strong, intelligent woman. No, she isn't Liz Parker, because as much as I adored the original, this is more relatable to me.

Max as a cop is far more interesting to me than Max as a high schooler. How does he resist healing injured people all the time?

I'm fascinated by the change in Michael's character. I remember when Michael and Maria was everyone's favorite couple. I'm interested to see what changes it will have on Maria's story. Can't wait for more.

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely loved the original Roswell series. I remember watching it every week and then bought all three seasons of it on DVD. When I saw they were remaking it, I was very hesitant to watch it because I didn't think they could do it justice but in the end, decided to give it a chance. I like that some of the elements are the same but I love that the new series has more to it. It's not just about the aliens or Max and Liz, it has more meat to the story. I love that Liz is a strong female character, she's intelligent and she stands up for herself. I also love that Max isn't inherently good. You see sides of him that make him kind of scary but not in a creepy way. It lends another dimension to the whole alien storyline that was missing from the original. I also really like what they did with the Michael character. I'm sure a lot of people were not happy to see the direction they took him in but I honestly think it fits well. So far I'm not very impressed with the Isobel character and what they did with her. Honestly, at this point, she could be taken out of the series completely and it wouldn't really make much of a difference. All in all, I've watched the first two episodes and can not wait to see what happens next.
