Roswell New Mexico Live Rewatch - Ep 2 - So Much For The Afterglow

Buckle up bitches here we go!

Rosa and choices. mmm

Truth, so much in the eye of the beholder.

Creepy Max at the cemetary

"it'll be our secret" - "another one"

no kidding

Because you don't want to leave Liz.

Liz still wants to kiss max.

"It's been ten years, you don't know me like you think you do"

The show is many things, subtle is not one of them.

Sorry, chockie bickie break.

"way in to Tolstoy, really nice handwriting for a guy"

Fuck I love that line.

"It's just a kiss, Max"

Liz, Liz, Liz, babe, it is sooo much more than that to poor Maximo

Fuck you Jesse Manes, die in a fire.

Just shut the fuck up.

Seriously, a fucking crash landing is not a "incident of agression" you souless fuck.

Fuck me Trevino's eyes of stunning.

Ah legacies.

The Valenti Code

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle even saying they're alive is uncool dude.

Red Level Threats

Even at this stage Kyle wants to tell Jesse to fuck off.

"Brooding level, teenage girl on a family vacation", No "roadtrip with grandparents"

And this was the line where I started to dig Jenna.

Cause seriously, that is spot on.

Temper, temper Max

Michael and Isobel, this is very, very uncool of you.

And the knife, Michael, very uncalled for.

Now Iz, no slut shaming

TBh, I can't really fault Max for hitting Michael here.

They were threatening Liz

probably, but still super shitty thing to do.

But interesting that the convo indicates that Max getting physical with Michael is out of character.

I don't care, I love the antenna hat. I want one. They should be the official Roswell fan uniform

Arturo is a such a sweety.

It's so sad that Liz thinks Rosa didn't love her.

Arturo advising forgiveness and moving forward. Nice forshadowing

Michael and his cool entries

Michael you cocky bastard.

And Americans should not be allowed to use berets in their military uniforms until they fucking learn to wear them properly.

Fucking just grabs his shirt and leans into this personal space.

But Alex is not having it.

Lips and tongoue

God my poor baby Michael. Deflection to cover his hurt feelings.

And Alex, why Alex? He wants you why push him away?????

"what happened, I was pretty wasted" No you fucking weren't

No Alex, you do NOT get to do a snort of disgust. No, fucking siree

God, Michael face after the santa's workshop comment and Alex walking away. He's so gone for him.

Kyle, I love you.

"mid make out abdondoment was very sophmore year"

He could't so easily have been a douche bag about it, but no, he let's Liz know it's cool between them.

It's not a bruise Kyle. you sneaky bastard

"You can trust me"

see the chemicals that made the bad choices.

"maybe I just need something else to blame" well....

And again with some damn solid and mature advice. You go Kyle.'

"don't focus on the science, focus on the memories" well doesn't that have a double meaning

Izzy and Noah

"Belt buckles as a secret metaphor for emotions"

I think someone needs to do a belt buckle analysis.

"Are you sassing Jesus"

Good one Max

Yeah, and that is such great imagery and really does sum up his character in alot of ways.

Max and his fear of what happens to miracle workers. I think it's easy to underestimate the impact of Max's powers compared to the others. In that his are more obvious and do come with more moral judgement at both their use and non-use.

And here we go with the memories part as forshadowed earlier

Rosa flash backs. They look so happy.

Totally

"if you're done praying or whatever" Don't ever change Jenna

I really need her to come back in S2

I blame Due South for my "shot of cops with great backs in well tailored police uniforms kink" which Max's totally hits as he exits the church.

You know the scene I'm talking about, am I rite?

God, I still hate VV after all these years.

But I digress

Michael and Iz. I love how they are.

Day brooding.

It's not about the job Iz

Hmm I think I'm gonna have to go Liz and Mikey

And now they are going to break my heart again.

Jesus Michael, these little fucking truth bombs he just drops. How the fuck can people not see his pain when he just fucking lays out there all the time?

It' really makes me hate them sometimes.

The foster ranch being the last place he saw his family and then gone  - yet another place that felt a little bit like a home taken away from him. And they make jokes.

"maybe, maybe someone would come take me home" fucking hell. Michael

Jenna being a total badass

The way she looks Wyatt in the eye as she shots out the truck tyre!! Gold

Sorta love the way Racist Hank is impressed laughing in the background

Alex in civies!! And Maria!!

And here comes a big bunch of lies that will have big consequences.

Yes he did get kind of hot Maria.

"I hadn't notice" I was going to say that Alex is a lying liar who lies. But really he isn't because he's ALWAYS thought Michael was hot.

"I did it for attention"

Nice slip Max

Maybe but I think Alex is still too in his keep things secret/private headspace

"what night?"

That's the night she died

Ah shit is about to go down...

fake autopsy you say...

murdered by an alien

More truth bombs about to land

We're family - no we're not

He tries to play it off, but it hurt that he got left behind at the group home.

I just want to give him a hug.

Yes, there is someone Michael would risk everything for. And we know who it is

Gods, the longing on Michael's face when he looks at Alex.

I actually think it gets worse every time I see it!!

Seriously, just to solidfy how big a douche bag these guys are. Who beats up Arturo??

And a bit of political commentary

Uh oh. not good for Max. Liz is not a happy camper

Max, what the fuck!

Damn he looks good in the hat

Iz with that damn taser. You go girl!

Little bit hypocritical on the judge  and jury thing there Michael.

Pod Squad moment

Who's the guy?

Museum guy

Home can be a person.

Jesus this show is good at ripping my heart out.

Yeah, they are going to have to be very careful how they repair that relationship

Weather metaphors

The handprint faded.

Don't lie max, don't do it.

Annnnnnd there is my men wearing silver bracelets kink, thanks Max

Oh that look Liz gives him. That is NOT a good look.

Please stop, I have no heart left to rip out.

The ship glass is still pretty

Oh god, there is the song starting

And the photo, and his hand

The God of Wine goes crashing..

Fuck, I'm not ready for this.

Everything about the next 2 mins is just aarrrggghhhhhhh!

Alex, baby, no he's not going to Tenessee.

Alex just looks so young and vulnerable in this scene. He looks more like a teenager here than in 1.06

Fuck, here it comes.

"Who I was, when this started, before I went to war"

Confirmation that there was a "this", that it's still something.

Jesus I don't know who does their costuming, makeup and hair but fuck me they need to win an award. Michael just glows.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

"I never look away, no really"

fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck

That fraction of a second where Michael thinks Alex is walking a way again.

Such a juxtaposition between Max/Jenna and Michael/Alex. Max looks pained (not in a good way) with Jenna.

But Michael and Alex do not.

Fuck, the way Michael looks like he wants to devour Alex before pushing him on the bed.

And Alex, going for his belt and pants...

And Liz and kyle.

Who did this?

"Even if it was Max Evans"

Well, that was a bit quicker than last week.

And again, we got a jam packed episode with lots of story progress.

Having the story actually move so much from week to week is so rare these days. I love it.

But those last 3 mins. That is some of the best tv

I really hate Tumblr sometimes. Cause I know there were more appropriate gifs out there to use but this hellsite wouldn’t let me find them.
