Movie Reviews of Roswell - Seasons 1-3Movie Review: A fabulous series that ended too soon... Summary: 5 Stars
I can still remember the moment WB tantalized us with these trailer-like sneak peaks of Roswell before actually airing it. There was this little scene of Liz sitting in her terrace wrapped up in a blanket writing in her diary with the voice-over, "Sept. 23...I'm Liz Parker and five days ago I died." I didn't know what the plot would be like, naively enough, I didn't think of aliens but I can say w/ all honesty I was hooked from that moment, and I followed the show till its very last. As far as story goes it was a good one; great even considering its sci-fi wake; and one can't deny the following it amassed even in the recent years. I do believe the plot suffered a bit as the show progressed and these cancellations threats kept us fans half fearful half outraged, and when the show changed networks, well. But still the good far outweighed the mistakes in my opinion, and for me the cast always delivered even when the plot or writing left me wanting more. Maybe due its untimely end I couldn't wait for the DVDs and they took so long getting them out. Honestly if you followed the show the way some of us obsessively did- and even if you did it sanely enough, there are a bit of gaps in the story, little loose-ends that never got a solid resolution, some really big ones that the DVDs never even attempted close. So I was a bit disappointed, to put it mildly, when there were no deleted scenes; or commentaries from the actors- whom had unbelievable on-screen chemistry, nor any DVD additions really. Even so, I can still live with it; but now with this new 'edition' sort of, I'm left wondering. Does it have more stuff; things I would've appreciated in the first set? I would've loved to be able to get them in package like this; as a whole, and I really hate it when production houses or whatever do this; putting out there new editions of a product to get more profit. Anyhow, my concern is, and for those out there who can pacify me I'd be so grateful, is this better, worthier than the previous vers? Or is it almost the same; the discrepancies being so minuscule that make little difference?
Anyway; I'm aware this ended up sounding less than a review than when it started. I can attest for the series; which has impacted millions and still finds its way to new and younger fans. It's truly a collectible; the acting was superb and it provided a great stepping stone for many in the show. You could see not only the potential of the show, but the young actors in it; there were so many poignant scenes that made you fall in love w/ them over and over again; regardless of which version you get :)
