What
is Roswell?
My heart aches for those
of you who have to ask this question. Roswell
is the story of Max and Isabel Evans and Michael Guerin. They were in the 1947
crash in New Mexico. At the time of the crash they were in these incubation pods
and they didn't come out until 1989. When they came out, they looked like six
year old humans. Max and Isabel found each other first and then Michael came out
from hiding after watching them for a while because he was afraid. They were
walking down the road naked when they saw car headlights coming toward them.
Isabel grabbed Max's hand and held her other hand out to Michael, but he was
afraid and instead of taking her hand he ran. Max and Isabel were picked up by
the couple in the car, and later adopted by them. Michael was found a few days
later and was sent to an orphanage but because he was so scared of people he
wasn't adopted and the social services put him in Hank Guerin's house as a
foster child. Michael found Max and Isabel a year later in the third grade when
he realized that they were like him. So then we hit the fast forward button and
go forward like nine years to the present. Max and Isabel have grown up to be
pretty well adjusted teenagers and Michael has done well under his circumstances
(Abusive father, Alien heritage) and they are all 16 (technically they're 10 but
they have the physical appearances and the brains of 16 year old humans) Ya da
ya da , Max ends up telling, Liz Parker the girl he has been in love with since
third grade that he is an alien after she is shot and he dissolves the bullet
into nothingness and heals her. She in turn tells her friend Maria DeLuca who
saw her get shot, and then later in the show her other childhood friend Alex
Whitman. It is an awesome show and I personally have to say that without it I
would have no life. Yes I know I'm very pathetic:) It comes with the territory.
