Roswell Season

Living among the citizens of the infamous New Mexico city of Rosewell are four who are not there by choice. They are there to follow a destiny given to them by the members of their dying race a race that they are someday destined to save. This is the background behind the WB series "Rosewell dvd". Max Evans Isabel Evans Michael Guerin and Tess Harding are teenage humans with extraordinary gifts - gifts that are "not-of-this-earth". They are human/alien hybrids sent here as replacements for the royalty of an alien race. Their counterparts have already perished in a war of attrition thus one day the "royal four" will return to their home planet and save their race. Before a fateful day in 1999 the teens hid their gifts. The event that forever changed their lives was when Max healed Liz Parker (a classmate) after she was fatally shot in the stomach in a dispute between two customers at the restaurant where she waitresses. A close relationship then developed between Max and Liz. It was later mirrored by a relationship between Liz's best friend Maria Deluca and Michael.
My friends call me a snob, saying that I trash movies I dislike until I am blue in the face while engaging in heated debate with someone who does not share my opinion on a film I treasure. I do not find myself to be that kind of snob; I am, however, a confessed television snob. I watch the same programs each and every week, and rarely do I try anything new unless I am prodded by my girlfriend or I happen to hear rave reviews. The downside of this is that I sometimes miss programs that are deserving of some level of applause, case in point the teen drama Roswell, a series that I once disregarded as Saved By the Bell crossed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and yes, I was wrong.
Set in Roswell season dvd boxset , New Mexico, the series begins in a diner called The Crashdown Cafe where Liz (Appleby) works on a bright afternoon. Two men begin to argue, which eventually spills over into a fight where a gun is drawn and Liz is hit in the stomach by a stray bullet. For all intents and purposes Liz is dead, until Max (Behr) approaches and heals her simply by placing his hand upon her wound, making it disappear completely. It immediately becomes evident that Max is not as he seems, and neither are his friends Isabel (Heigl) and Michael (Fehr).
And that is the general sentiment I have toward Roswell after viewing the first season: It does just enough to coast by when it should be doing something, anything, to separate itself from the pack.
