Roswell NM 2x03

Maria finally knows! I love that it was Rosa who told her (it makes so much sense that she would be opposed to keep that secret from her imo. Though I can imagine fandom having other explanations rme), and that Michael was on his way to, after Jenna’s comments about honesty. I love how angry she got to be, too. There’ll obviously be a reconciliation later on, but I hope this lasts a few episodes and I hope we see Michael and Liz freaking earn it after the bs they pulled with her. One of my favourite lines of hers was when she pointed out that the reason Liz had wanted to tell her is because she needed Maria to support her. Also, giving the protective necklace to her mother was nice and all, but I hope it doesn’t bite her in the ass :/

One thing about this storyline is that I found it weirdly... healing? From Caroline’s storyline in the early days of The Vampire Diaries lol. I think they are in ~dialogue, so to speak. Like, Maria’s dialogue in particular: “turns out my friends are just really good liars”, “I thought [that night I was roofied and possessed by an alien] I made a fool of myself, but it was my friends making a fool of me”, “you left me vulnerable”. Either way, she was spot on tonight.

On that vein... it’s kind of disheartening just how much Liz subscribes to the pod-people’s POV on this now. During that scene, and the one last week with Rosa, I just wanted her to stop making excuses (but especially this one, because Rosa, unlike Maria, wasn’t asking for her to explain anything to her and so didn’t let her a lot of room to talk lol).

There wasn’t as much focus on Rosa this episode but I liked what I saw. My favourite part was when she told Maria “I reserve the right to be the mentally ill one on this friendship, is kind of my thing.” Should I worry about how much I relate to her or... lol. It seems they’re officially going with a bipolar diagnostic. She and Lizzie remind me so much of each other, man.

For now I’m going to headcanon that the guy who helped Michael’s mother in the 40s was Maria’s ancestor, sns (there aren’t many black people in Roswell other than Maria and Mimi so it’s not even that much of a strech... I just hope they don’t try to have a ~twist and make it be about, idk, Steph or something xD). It would heighten Maria and Michael’s connection and could explain her family’s apparent ties to the alien lore. Speaking of Maria and Michael, I loved their first scene, with them teasing each other over breakfast, Michael opening up to her about his childhood, and Maria having fun telling Isobel how Michael had “parked in her lot” lmao.

Isobel got through with her abortion (unless there’s another ~twist/surprise down the road. Let’s hope not), for which I’m very glad. I had gotten tired of all the storylines about women having to go through pregnancies they were unsure/conflicted/downright opposed to the idea. Sometimes it works for the character and I don’t mind it as much (though I do mind the relative lack of alternatives very much), but in this case, with how much Isobel clearly wanted to get rid of it? Yeah, no. I don’t even care that much about her but I felt very strongly about this. On a funnier note, the scene where she shows the sex toys to the Sheriff is hilarious. Though it resulted in a mental image with Max and hoverboarding I cannot unsee now ugh xD.

I imagine that the Liz & Jenna subplot was fandom catnip but I rolled my eyes. so. hard. during it. Especially at how they bonded about all the things about Max I find unpalatable lmao. But in general. It felt like Pandering 101 and I did not enjoy it one bit tbh.

I missed Kyle. Though OTOH if he'd been there it would've likely been as Isobel's support and Icm not about that life lol. It's bad enough when I see it happen to Liz or Maria, thanks (just DON'T let it happen to Rosa, show).

Spoilers from next week’s promo: I hope Arturo and Rosa’s reunion isn’t a bait-and-switch and we actually get to see it. I cannot wait for him to find out. Gosh, it’s going to be so heartbreaking. I loved seeing Maria’s mourning (I liked her line about how she feels cheated because of the secret resurrection, too), and I was disappointed that Kyle didn’t point out how Liz and Rosa were clearly going to leave town without telling him anything lol. But Arturo’s (well, his and Helena’s, the mother, who I hope we meet at some point) reaction has the potential to be the most intense, unpredictable one, and I want to see it.

– we could call it even, even though I'm leaving...and I'll be yours for the weekend, 'tis the damn season

[lovecolibri]

You will never see me asking for more M*ria content, but killing off Mimi immediately at the beginning of the episode and then barely doing anything with it for the rest of it was another deeply weird choice. Entirely missed emotional beats for everyone, I guess.

It was suuuuuch a waste of time! What did she even die of? Why did no one attempt CPR? It was all just to get m*ria to dig through her stuff and find that drawing? She couldn't have done that when they were going through all the other stuff last week? Dallas couldn't have recognized the fruit tree or something? And it didn't even lead to talking about Rosa and where she is when she's supposedly (as we've been told but almost NEVER shown once she was alive again) m*ria's best friend? Just say it was just for the *drama* to give m*ria something to do because she’s still superfluous to the story 🙄🙄🙄 Also stop trying to make us feel bad for her, especially if you’re going to turn around and have her being rude to Dallas, and mean about Liz, and acting like no one wants to help her while having literally everyone falling all over themselves to try and her not accepting help, then complaining no one is there for her! Nothing about this was needed and all it did was take time in the final season away from other characters and storylines. You’d think they’d have learned their lesson after season 3 and how much time they wasted with her doing absolutely nothing helpful that wasn’t already being done by someone else and yet, here we are. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Chris Hollier gave us this episode...

And y'all are worried?

[female-overlord-3]

Kyle should've been told to find Eduardo instead of Jesse Manes because Deep Skies should've been a S1 subplot for Kyle (that later intersected with Alex because of obvious reasons) that was fully explored in S2.

Like yes I'm still salty about S2 and how much of a mess it was. S3 is trying its best to drag itself out of said mess but by doing so it's having to establish a new foundation real quick with whatever leftover bits they can/have to use which aren't great.

I hope (very low hopes cause this is a CW show 🙃) that by setting their foundation for S3 they can fully dig into S4 with a more focused goal/story.

In a year with a whole global pandemic that ruined everyone’s lives, that 206 threesome is still the worst thing to have happened in 2020

[echo-bleu]

Alex + Disability (14/?): Jesse Manes acknowledging Alex’s disabilities (and Michael not believing his concern).

Roswell NM 2x04

No Maria (we get mentions of her reconnecting with Rosa or passing a message to Michael about still protecting his secrets off-screen which. Felt outrageous tbh. They better remedy that soon), not nearly enough Rosa... definitely my least favourite episode of the bunch so far. Especially because the Rosa parts were tainted by Isobel and her mind powers used on Arturo. I can’t even find words to express how much I loathed that storyline. I know some people would say I should cut it/her some slack because she did it with “good intentions”, or it “brought results” or something, but I can’t. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. My disgust is too visceral and innate. I couldn’t even enjoy the reunion scene because I was so furious.

I’m glad about Kyle genuinely trying to move on from Liz, and that he’s addressed her attitude with him (which was several shades of wrong but she was admittedly adorable in the “I’ll steal it, I’m just asking you to aid and abet!” scene *shrugs*), but does he really have to do it with that woman? All I can think when I see her is “ew, but she’s a conservative!” xDD. I don’t know about Kyle but that would certainly put me off of anyone, no matter how hot lol. RIP to him but I’m different, etc. etc.

Michael’s storyline with his mother/aliens in general continues to give me a huge soft spot for the guy despite myself xDD (the flashbacks about the mother bonding with the boy because she missed Michael. My heart. BTW, I no longer want Bronson to be related to Maria, since it seems he connected more with Max & Isobel’s mother than Michael’s xD). I enjoyed his scenes with Alex this episode, too. Very emotional in just the right way, and I really felt for them (I don’t care for Alex’ supposed new love interest either, btw. Seriously, who are these new people. One is against public healthcare and the other is a WW2 enthusiast? *sighs*. I know, I know. Not everyone into WW2 is *like that*. I’ve certainly read a few testimonies from that era, just like any other, and liked some historical fiction stuff from it. BUT given the guys I’ve met with that interest, I still had an “ugh” reaction ngl xD).

Best moment of the entire episode to me was Kyle complaining about having to listen to Michael’s heartbeat for TWO HOURS and being able to “pick his nipples out of a lineup” OMG. How could you deprive me of such an scene, show. Let my little rareship raise lol.

I don’t care for Jenna or her dramas (at least if we knew her sister I could see if I liked her, but who knows), so I tuned out all that tbh.

I’m rooting for Sheriff Valenti to figure things out, tbh. Not as much as I’m rooting for Arturo finding out THE FREAKING TRUTH, but still. Keep investigating and fuck shit up, you beautiful woman (though when she finds out her own son has been bullshitting her it’s probably going to be really painful for everyone involved, myself included).
