RATDG Episode Guide



This list was originally posted on the site ‘Roswell’s Alienated Terrestrial Dwellers Gathering’ or RATDG.

RATDG was known for their snarky and humorous episode guide entries. They feature the answers to burning questions like –

  • The count of the week including topics like -
    • Tabasco use
    • Michael's changing hair
    • Trampy Outfit Count
  • Manipulation of Molecular Structures per episode
  • Alex's Psychological Analysis
  • Would a Human wear that?
  • Honorary Alien of the Week
  • Is that an Alien Language?
  • Did I hear Intergalactic Music?
  • Moral of the Week
  • . . . and lots more fun stuff


So take a gander, and as they would say, make sure you have no food or drink in your mouth while you are reading.

Unfortunately I am missing a few entries. I guess I didn’t save them. But if anyone has the missing entries, please send them in.

I added the episode names in () next to the snarky title provided by RATDG

(I was not able to contact anyone from the RATDG site to ask permission, so if anyone from the site wants me to take these down, just let me know.)

"The Eraser Room takes the best of us" - Maria

"I mean, what do we know about these people? Nothing. How do we know that they're not 3 feet tall, green and slimy?" - Maria

Alex says: Do they look 3 feet tall, green, and slimy?


"Mustn't? When have you ever said "mustn't"? - Maria

Alex says: Liz and I learned that in English the other day. Where were you?

"Uh Michael's not really into Geometry." - Max

Alex says: Who is? But do I skip class?...well, nevermind.


"Sniff some cedar oil, Maria." - Liz

Alex says: I'm sensing hostility here. And drugs aren't the answer.


"Everytime I come around you guys start talking about Czechoslovakians, which is a country that hasn't even existed for 10 years now." - Alex

Alex says: Well, it's true. And I was getting really tired of hearing them talk about it.


"Is he also obsessed, tortured, going from one sleepless night to the next wondering what's going to happen between us?" - Liz about Max

Alex says: Ding ding ding! We have ourselves a stalker! Tell her what she's won! (if it's anything like my past er, troubles, it's a restraining order) If I were Max I'd be afraid, very afraid.

Alex says: Get it? Key? That Michael, what a wordsmith.


"That guy creeps me out." - Maria about Michael

Alex says: Join the club.

Alex says: Well she needed the material for her journal entries, so....


"One... Two... Three." - Max

Alex says: "God help this poor town with that hair dresser running around in it!"

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis

 

"I swear on my badge that no one will ever have to know."- the Sheriff

Alex says: No! Don't trust him! Look at how he dresses- he doesn't take this job seriously. That cop from the Village People would be better at his job!


"Mosquitoes, pit toilets, and animal droppings. Yes!" - Isabel

Alex says: You like those too? Awesome!


"Last year I ate 5 brautwurst, and this year I plan to eat 6." - Kyle

Alex says: ahem....(clears throat in embarassment) Even us brilliant psychologists have our problems


"But you made me a part of this." - Liz to Max

Alex says: I didn't think it was possible, but that line is so overdramatic that it obliterates my ability to make fun of you.


"There's been a sighting!" - Mr. Mustard, the UFO Guide

Alex says: Oh, did you see Max in the parking lot?


"You have officially lost it." - Liz

Alex says: You never officially had it!


"Would you like to try it on?"- Maria to Alex about the infamous aqua bra

Alex says: Yes, more than anything! Well, not as much as I want to see Isabel try it on. But close.


"That's why my mom and I have a 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy."- Maria

Alex says: Is that how you get away with those hair cuts?


"...and the guy with the hair." - Liz's Dad, making appropriate big hair gestures

Alex says: yeah, tell us about it


"He's a walking ball of stress"- some guy to Kyle about his dad

Alex says: WELL, that's one way to describe him- but I can think of others!


"Is this the big invasion?" - Kyle

Alex says: Um, actually, it kinda is. But they come in peace. Except for the guy with the hair...


"He's not that different from us at all." - refering to Max

Alex says: Attention script-mart shoppers: Roswell scripts are now discounted when purchased in mass quanities. Yes, that's right, the more OF THE SAME that you buy, the cheaper they are (apparently).


"I think something might happen tonight" - Sheriff

Alex says- After viewing tonight's Roswell, I can assure you that NOTHING important happened tonight.

 

Would a human wear that?

The infamous aqua bra, and the belly/nose ring

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis

 

We had way too much fun with this show


"It's February 20th and I'm Liz Parker." - Liz

Alex says: She's doing it AGAIN!


"People do a lot of dumb things when they are drunk."- Liz

Alex says: Like what? Writing to themselves with an introduction? Surely no sober person would attempt that.


"I always knock over strawberries this time of night." - Liz

Alex says: Is that what the kids are calling it?


""My first time will NOT be between a hot plate, a kielbasa, and a deep fryer" - Liz

Alex says: Are you sure about that? Roswell doesn't have that many sets.


"A friend wouldn't have kept that to himself." - Max

Alex says: How long will it take you to figure out that there are a lot of things that a real friend wouldn't do that Michael would. Like wear that hair style.


"Let's get busy people." - teacher guy

Alex says: Oh, so you saw the previews too?


"I think I've heard enough." - Liz's mom

Alex says: I think I've SEEN enough, what is this, Cinemax after hours?


"I'm glowing everywhere!" - Liz

Alex says: Don't they make anti-glow skin care products that could help?


"I want you to know, you don't have to lie to me." - Mom

Alex says: But lying makes Liz feel more rebellious. Almost as daring as wearing capri pants, long after they went out of style.


"I think I saw the crash." - Liz

Alex says: Really? Should we call the sheriff? I'll get the insurance information...Or are you referring to the crashing of this plot line into the wall of the other hackneyed Roswell ideas?


"Everybody has red sneakers" - Michael

Alex says: Oh those 80s fashions, how I wish I could forget....I never had red sneakers...


"I know what this is" - Max to Liz

Alex says- Yeah he's been walking around with one of those since the start of the episode - Liz, could your drawing be more obvious about what you're really asking for?*


"Parker... Parker..." - anal retentive gym teacher

Alex says: Bueller... Bueller...


"I can't stop." - Liz

Alex says: Try thinking about sulfur. No wait, that might make you more excited


"Great I won't have to miss the hockey game." - Michael

Alex says: How very Canadian of you. But if you are nice to Maria, you could be playing the hickey game.


"Ok, kiss me." - Isabel to Alex

Alex says: There is a God!


"You have access to one of the top 3 seduction lines in history - 'You're gonna help me find my home planet.'" - Michael

Alex says: Wait a minute, let me write this down...


""You lucky, undeserving dog." - Michael to Max

Alex says: Wait. You don't like Liz now, too, do you?


"I'm glowing everywhere. My toes, my heart..." - Max

Alex says: STOP, STOP! Don't go there. And last time I checked, toes are on the outside, unless that's another one of your alien oddities.


"It's just beautiful. The universe is beautiful." - Liz

Alex says: Could you get any weirder? First you like sulfur, now you're discussing beauty with your bio teacher!


"Mom, will you stop trying to control me?" - Liz

Alex says: Now YOU know how it feels!


"Wait! That's the noise I heard in my vision, it's over here." Liz to Max

Alex says: Uh-huh, and the 50 foot tower didn't tip you off?*


"I saved you from a destiny...watching Kyle barf after a beer bust." - Max

Alex says: ...and replaced it with a destiny of running for the FBI and alien hunters. Don't be too proud of yourself Max


"I happen to know that for a fact" - Michael to Maria in the apartment

Alex says: Can someone get a decent cameraman for this scene? I feel like I'm watching the Blair Witch project!

 

Would a human wear that?

Liz's capri gym pants, Maria's fringed sweater/skirt



Honorary Alien of the Week

Liz: she's got enough alien saliva in her to last a whole alien lifetime



Is that an Alien Language?

"Well, I was just wondering, you know, in the interest of science, kissing being purported to provoke these certain insights - I wanted to, you know, offer myself as a human subject available for experimentation." - Alex

"Well, there could be a red giant." - Teacher

"More efficient." - Liz

"The primordial experience known as...detention." - Teacher

"But I got some Chaka Khan cued up in the CD player." - Michael

"Unbelievable, awe-inspiring..." - Maria

"Or maybe she'll explode if they don't do it." - Alex

"Do you have a juicer?" - Isabel

"You know, I'm sure it doesn't compare to other things you could be doing, like watching Kyle barf after a beer blast." - Max

(Crazy)



Tabasco Use Count

We're just gonna have to substitute in sugar on this one. And whatever those pills are that Nasedo keeps popping like Tic-Tacs.



Manipulation of Molecular Structures

- Nasedo shifted from the doctor to the burly woodsman guy



Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis

 

"Welcome to Roswell" - Alex

Alex: Translation - Welcome to Hell


"What? I don't look like a girl who gets flowers every day?" - Maria

Alex says : "No, you're the girl who gets her car stolen all the time, remember?"


"Oh! wooo! Peep shows!" - Alex

Alex says : Can we start again?


"They love surprises." - Max about girls

Alex: Yeah...aliens, dead bodies, shape shifters. We're bona fide casanovas.


"We're closing early." - Michael & Maria

Alex says: And let us say no more, I'm having enough trouble keeping down my crashdown meal as it is.


"Roswell attracts all kinds" - Sheriff

Alex: Like people who love sulfur.


"It had bad reviews" - Liz

Alex says: Like something else I know.


"Push the special, I'm tired of flipping burgers." - Michael

Alex says: Wait, did I miss the plot in which Michael starting working at the Crashdown?


"Don't trust anyone." - topolsky

Alex says: and that's different from their normal modus operanda how exactly??


"Anyone could be watching" - Max

Alex says: Yup, all 5 faithful Roswell viewers.


"Mr. Wonderful." - maria

Alex says: Yes? Oh, uh, you were talking about Max. Forgot I wasn't the "star" of the show.


"Where have you been all of this time?" - Liz to Topolsky

Alex says: On a bad tv movie remake, Satan's School for Girls. What? Why are you looking at me like that? Nothing else was on!


"Shampoo and conditioner. In one." - Michael (about his gift to Maria)

Alex says: I'm afraid that even the combined powers of shampoo AND conditioner couldn't penetrate that helmet of hers.


"You have to believe me!" - Topolsky to Liz

Alex says: I believe that that horrendous wig your wearing makes you look like Orphan Annie.


"I'll never be ok again." - Topolsky

Alex says: Yeah, Roswell is on your resume. I feel your pain.


"We can't be seen together. " - Topolsky to Liz

Alex says: Um, hate to burst your bubble, but you're already being seen together. Or is basic common sense not a requirement to being an agent?


"It's supposed to make your skin soft" - Max

Alex: As opposed to the brilo pad you call skin that I've been rubbing up against.


"What list?" - Max to Liz

Alex says: the 10 most annoying actors on tv today?


"I think we need protection Max" - Liz

Alex says: Ugh, get a room already!


"If anything happens to me..." - Michael

Alex says: ...it would be a huge surprise, considering what show this is.

 

Would a human wear that?

Topolsky's wig (It looked like a dead animal actually). Did the Roswell cast suddenly find the local Prada boutique or something? Levi's couldn't dress them that good.



Honorary Alien of the Week

Let's go for the obvious: Tess



Is that an Alien Language?

It's kinda hard not to with all the face-sucking going on. - Isabel

Things are getting frosty - Michael

Hey Gidget. You got some flowers from Moondoggie. - Maria

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis

 

"I'm just tired I guess." - Max

Alex says: Of Tess running through my head all day...


"Max you're on fire!" - Tess to Max after the disgusting science room fantasy

Alex says: Please do not ever have a fantasy again. I think I'm permanently scarred.


"Do I have something in my teeth?" - Tess

Alex says: Its hard to say, but perhaps a chunk of the half dozen pounds of make-up on your face fell into your mouth?


"Sheriff Valenti, Roswell, New Mexico. I must talk to her." - the Sheriff calling for Topolsky

Alex says: It might have helped to leave your phone number...


"I can't stop it." - Max about the fantasies

Alex says: Try HARDER!!!


"Haven't you ever had a fantasy before?" - Michael

Alex says: Have I ever? I consider myself an expert.


"Since you are obviously so eager..." - Science teacher to Max as flame rises

Alex says: Its a good thing those Roswell writers don't overdo the symbolism, that would be annoying.


"Kathleen Topolsky was one of the victims of the fire." - Dr. Margolin

Alex says: Sure, sure she was. And that crash in '47 was just some Mexicans in a weather balloon. Yeah, and there's some beach front property in Arizona I'd like you to look at.


"So either give it to me straight or never give it to me at all." - Maria to Michael

Alex says: That is way too easy to take the wrong way.


"What is that? Porn or something?" - Maria about the camera/tv

Alex says: Well now that you're onscreen...


"ADMINISTRATION" - (the big sign)

Alex says: Its a good thing the school doesn't make student's secret files hard to find, because that would be almost as obnoxious as if Roswell High School went out on a limb and hired faculty members to keep an eye on the students who are digging through them. Oh, the joys of realism.


"They don't work at the cheese factory." - Michael about the military guys

Alex says: But the Roswell writers do! That was TOO easy.


"It's the 21st century after all, call me Ed." - Tess's father

Alex says: Mr. Ed? And how is that 21st century?


"I used to admire you." - Michael to Max

Alex says: ...but then I recovered from my hockey head injury.


"I love this stuff, are you kidding?" - Alex about techno gadgets

Alex says: Well, I get bored sitting around in my trailer waiting for my requisite 5 minutes of screen time. At least I've developed some new skills.


"Thanks Mom." - Liz to Max

Alex says: I don't even want to start considering the potential Freudian implications of that.


"Surely a girl as pretty as you has a boyfriend?" - Ed

Alex says: Somehow I doubt the army is the real reason Tess and her dad move so often.

 

Would a human wear that?

Tess's back-tie shirt in the science room. It seems that as the cast's clothes improve, so does the plot.



Honorary Alien of the Week

Tess's dad...that guy was way too creepy



Is that an Alien Language?

"Combustability." - the teacher

"It's time to melt the ice". - Isabel

Alex says : Oh My God! Pinch me!


"Sweet dreams". - Alex

Alex says : Stupid, stupid, stupid! Note to myself: never wish sweet dreams to an alien girl during her Venus constellation period.


"Why is everybody following me?" - Tess

Alex says: They want your autograph, of course. What do you mean you aren't Christina Aguilara?


"We can't just sit around and wait for her to do something." - ?

Alex says: Yeah, that was the plot last week!


"It could be anyone at anytime" - Michael about Nasedo

Alex says: Good thing we're having this conversation in a public park!


"She scares me!" - Liz about Tess

Alex says: These closeups scare me!


"Oh, and that silly clown show you put on for us" - Mrs. Evans about Isabel and Max

Alex says: Clown show?!?!


"Don't you ever get signals from someone?" - Tess to Isabel

Alex says: Um, are they setting up some female alien on female alien action?


"Something primal" - Max

"Instinctive" - Isabel

"Non-human" - Max

Alex says: Um,...alien?


"There are signs all around us." - Tess

Alex says: Yup, like that Administration sign from last week.


"Must be something in the water" - Maria

Alex says: Like spanish fly


"You are who you choose to be." - Liz

Alex says: Then you, my friend, chose poorly.


"Public library?" - Liz

Alex says: As opposed to paying, members only libraries.


"I'll show you everything." - Tess

Alex says: I'd rather you didn't, this isn't HBO missy.


"I couldn't eat right now if you paid me." - Isabel

Alex says: Good, because this is the WB, and we don't allow our actresses to eat. Seriously.


"Show me what you really look like!!! What I really look like!" - Psycho Max

Alex says: Geez, don't you have any volume level between mumbling and crazed lunatic?! Moderation is a GOOD thing.


"Operation never leave Max alone." - Maria

Alex says: Which is alternatively called "Roswell" on the WB

 

Would a human wear that?

Episode

Tabasco Use Count

Screw the Tabasco count, this season we've got the Trampy Outfit Count. And we're off and running at 9 for the pilot episode! Max gets bonus points for being shirtless.

We're also throwing in the bonus Bad Hair Count. We got 3 out of 7. Maria gets how ever many bonus points it takes to make up for last season - she looks good! Can you beweave it?



Manipulation of Molecular Structures

  • Michael explodes rocks (be still my beating heart)

  • Nasedo shapeshifts

  • Max dates the bones (take that however you want)

  • Liz has a "soulmate" flash from Max's touch (I think it's hallucinogens)



Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis

 

"Next one, keep your focus." - Tess

Alex says: Just to clue the viewers in - Roswell's last season drained the town of "big hair" products and Tess started taking lessons from Michael. Oh, and I already miss Michael's big hair. This flat thing isn't working.


"I just want to get a fresh start." - Liz

Alex says: ...and a cough drop.


"What are you doing out here?" - Geologist to Isabel

Alex says: Seducing older men - what else did you expect? It's the only role she has in this show.


"This is a matter of federal interest." - Congresswoman

Alex says: You're a congresswoman, not an FBI agent. Don't you have something better to do like rant to empty Congress rooms on C-SPAN?


"The bones are fused and melted together." - Doctor

Alex says: Wow, that's pretty good considering Michael didn't even TOUCH Agent Pierce when he killed him.


"Intimately?" - Tess about Nasedo "diddling" the Congresswoman

Alex says: That jealousy was real subtle Tess. And PS: EWWWW


"I'm cracking rocks" - Michael

Alex says: and smoking crack rock.


"[the physics teacher] spent like two weeks obsessing about it last semester" - Liz about the new college physics department

Alex says: I could make a joke about Liz's obsession with science, but that would be SO last season. And we're about being "sexy" this season, aren't we? Science isn't sexy.


"I hear ex-cons are really good in bed" - Maria

Alex says: Subtle...and once again, EWWWWWW

 

Would a human wear that?

We don't really need this section anymore, do we?

The "i'm not really drunk, i'm just pumping you with for information" plot

The "let's let the two most useless characters room together and eventually have them get it on" plot

The "Michael rebelling against Max and going off on his own and getting in trouble" plot

The "i'm a rich millionaire who happens to be obsessed with aliens so i'm probably going to let Max conveniently use my high tech gadgets with his war" plot

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis

 

"My strength fails. My vitality exhausted. I cannot find the bull. I can only hear the locusts chirring through the night" - Kyle

Alex says: Philosophy at football camp - that's a new one.


"Did you have a flash?" - Maria to Liz

Alex says: Well, Max is practically flashing the whole town, so yeah that's about right.


"What does it mean to be a leader?" - History teacher

Alex says: Let's see: pointy bangs, scary pecs, huge ears, whiny monotone, did I get them all?


"You OK?" - Max

"No" - Tess

Alex says: I use short words too. We all smart!


"A life completely different from this one." - Tess

Alex says: A life where shirts are required at all times.


"The skins are among us." - Max

Alex says: So, you saw Tess' new wardrobe too?


"Instead of all this talk, why don't we just break into the UFO center and take the damn thing." - Michael

"Because it's too dangerous." - Max

Alex says: No, because that would be advancing the plot and we can't have that.


"Don't touch that!" - New UFO guy

Alex says: Okay, so not only has he stolen M.C. Hammer's hair, he is taking his lines too?


"You Buddhists have, like no sense of humor!" - Tess

Alex says: And you don’t use nearly enough makeup


"I'm too young to be dust" - Isabel

Alex says: Or to have wrinkles. You better watch those stress lines, honey.


"I need a little piece of mind" - Kyle

Alex says: Or a little piece of whatever


"It's not every day you walk in on your boss drinking and shredding." - Congresswoman

Alex says: Shredding under the influence? Is that legal? anybody got a breathalyzer here?


"Home." - Tess

Alex says: Thank you, E.T.


"Oh God!" - Maria about Tess and Max walking together

Alex says: No, that wasn't an over-reaction at all


"It's not that I dislike you." - Max to Tess

Alex says: ... I loathe you


"Nasedo taught me a few memory retrieval techniques. I can show them to you some time." - Tess to Max

Alex says: Yeah, and I bet that's not all you want to show him


"Look at me...waiting for my boyfriend to call. Which one of us is in high school?" - Congresswoman

Alex says: Neither of you- at least you don't look it


"You're both involved with tramps. How is Tess, by the way?" - Maria

Alex: Like you are one to talk, Ms. "i wear headbands for skirts"


"And you know where this signal came from?" - Brody

Alex says: The same place where Max's shirt keeps disappearing to?


"Calvin Klein. I approve." - Tess to Kyle

Alex says: Yeah, well I don't. Given his past exploitation of teen's sexuality, I'm starting to get a clue who's costuming us.


"I don't have that kind of insight." - Max to Maria

Alex says: Especially when your eyes are busy being "insight" with Maria's breasts. Exactly how close did you guys get this summer?

Alex says: Oh no, there's MORE of the pod squad? God help us.

Alex says: Max sees dead people. Who doesn't these days?

Alex says: Ahhh, hint, hint.


"I seriously want to know what the chicks are like" - Michael

"It's not that literal. They're just these images" - Max

Alex says : Hmm, does it mean that Antar is a misogynist paradise : mute chicks?


"And if you're asking about my spiritual journey, I'm touched" - Kyle

Alex says: You're setting me up for a sulfur joke, aren't you?


I don't feed off another man's taco platter. - Sean to Liz

Alex says: I'm not sure exactly what that means but I think my response should be "ew".


What did it look like, feel like, smell like. - Tess

Alex says: ...Taste like.


What was I like? - Max

Alex says: You always spoke in monotone and had hair that constantly looked wet.


So, you could graduate? - Alex

You're the only person that knows that. - Isabel

Me and you, we're a couple now. - Maria to Liz

The whole thing is just totally bogus, it’s totally unnatural - Michael

Hey - Max

Oh, hey - Liz

Alex says: Does the WB own a copyright on that word or something?


When we kissed it was the first time I ever felt . . . - Sean

Alex says: Metal lips? The humming of her generator? An oil leak at her elbow?


I know we’re really gonna regret this - Liz

Alex says: Hey a third year of the show won’t totally destroy your career, maybe you’ll get a lead in a teen vampire/slasher movie.


Alex, I’m gonna do something I said I wasn’t gonna do - Isabel

Alex says: Go ahead, threaten me some more.


I asked you not to do that - Alex

Alex says: Hey, this reverse psychology can work pretty well.


It’s not quite liquid and not quite solid - Tess

Alex says: Like your makeup?


I don't know how to feel about it. - Max

The prom is a defining experience in one's life

Don't alter your prom dress so the stomach area is too tight and scrunches up every 5 seconds.

If you feel like you're suffocating, slide down a bowling lane.

If your heart is broken, go bowling.

Don't confuse your prom with your wedding.

Alex says: Are you sure it isn't SexyMan47?


"The infamous kiss." - Tess

Alex says: Infamous as in evil.


"Leanna is not Leanna." - the document

Alex says: Oops, I meant to type "Krakow is not Krakow"


"It's a 2-page yearbook spread, a collage that captures, you know, everything that Alex was" - Maria

Alex says : My whole life in 2 little pages? Should I feel offended?


"You can't look through his stuff for clues. It's immoral." - Maria

Alex says : All I'm gonna say is Agent Moss, Courtney, Meredith DuPree and Juanita.


Some people would say congratulations. - Isabel to Max

Alex says: Some people would ennunciate.


"Lately, I've been thinking I might have been wrong all along." - Michael

Alex says: About having Teen Wolf for a role model? I'd agree with that.


"We've only got a few hours here" - Liz

Alex says : To transform Max into a non-ass character? I wonder how they will pull that out.


"Maybe Liz is right" - Isabel

Alex says : So far, Liz has always been right...except for the curtain coat she's wearing.


"With what happened to Alex, I can understand putting the subject on hold. I couldn't deal with it, either. But now, I just - I can't help wondering where we are." - Tess

Alex says : I've just been dead for a few days and all she thinks about is sex?


"Isabel, If I have to, I will do everything in my power to keep you here. I will tell our parents that you have a drug problem. I will notify your teachers that you have cheated on every test for the last 3 years. If you ever leave Roswell without my consent, I will physically drag you back. For the last time, the answer is no. Period." - Max

Alex says : Folks, this is a clear example of abuse, verbal threat, blackmailing, intimidation, megalomania, power-trip and jackassness.


"You and me together, it scares me" - Max to Tess

Alex says : Hint, hint!


"I'm willing to forget about this, wipe the slate clean" - Max to Liz

Alex says : How about wiping your ass clean? I'm sure Tess would oblige...


"I'll take care of it." - Max about Liz

Alex says: I think Max needs to look up the term "hegemonic masculinity"


"I want to show you something." - Tess

Alex says: I bet you do.


"This is not Mr. Olson." - Some "Swedish" guy

Alex says: Nope, that was Auh-nold Schwarzenegger.


"I'll be here for eternity." - Tess

Alex says: This moment brought to you by Calvin Klein.


I feel that if I follow that road I can never go back. - Max

Alex says: Well, you know what they say, 'when you go alien you never go back'."


I can never touch or feel/ and Earth just seems so real. - Max

Alex says: I like to rhyme about my home/ I like to rhyme when I write my poem...


It's like the alien mafia. - Isabel

Alex says: Heh, well, they have the hair for it.


If you ever leave Roswell without my concent I will physically bring you back. - Max

Alex says: Yikes, could you be more of a stalker? Creepy.


He never went to Sweden. - Liz

Alex says: So we can stop with the tourism board nonsense and the bad Swedish accents?

Moral of the Week

When women try to live their own lives on their own terms, watch how the men stomp all their dreams to pieces.

Moral of the Week

Earth is hostile to alien babies

Real kings don’t kick trash cans. (Damn you, recycling! Damn yoooooouuuu!)

Snow makes death all better

Trash is the right place when you want to vent and cry.

Thanks . . . Dad - Tess

Alex says: No, silly, MAX is the dad, remember?


I can contain the fire with my powers - Max

Alex says: Too bad you didn’t ‘contain the fire’ when you were with Tess. Or at least contain something else, hint, hint!

Papa Evans - something's up with that desire for Spicy Mustard



Honorary HUMAN of the Week

Michael. Awwww.



Moral of the Week

Apparently there is an alien law that a blonde must say "What do we do now, Max?"

Don't jump into bed with someone because your heart is broken. Go eat a tub of ice cream instead

Honorary Alien of the Week

The audience: with the stoopid shakey and pseudo-video effects and sepia tone film, we felt like we where on another planet.



Moral of the Week

Don't rob a convenience store in Utah

Stripping can almost kill you

Dump guys who jump in water with their socks on.

Listening to your cheating, lying, alien ex will only lead you to a jail sentence

Honorary Alien of the Week

Bill Haverchuck!



Moral of the Week

Snapple, snapple, snapple (it's apparently the only word that exists)

Don't mess with Mr. Parker

Breaking and entering can be a profession

If you steal something and get fired from your job - no sweat! Just videotape your boss stealing something more expensive and blackmail away.

"Saving" other men when they are in trouble (ie. can't feed their families) is crucial to the god-like complex you have built around yourself.

A Chevelle can give you a access to a couch.

Alex says : Yeah, that was the time when I was wearing roomy baggy pants for a practical reason and taking cold showers to clear up my "mind" after seeing Isabel.


"Cold?" - Jesse to Isabel

Alex says: Blow drying your hair might help.


Maybe you could write a new one [poem]. - Liz to Mr. Parker

Alex says: In a nifty journal? You could begin with "Hi, I'm Mr. Parker..."

 

 

Honorary Alien of the Week

Jesse - because his lips fit the "Big Alien Body Part" Theory

and Alex - because he's a ghost now and has special powers



Moral of the Week

When you need relationship advice, Dead Alex is there.

Even though you've stated that YOU don't want to get married, make sure to say "yes" to a proposal if your dead ex-boyfriend says it's ok

Guys can be really unhygienic

Alex says: Please Max, leave the Freudian analysis to me.


"He better be in a ditch somewhere." - Maria about Max

Alex says : Ditto that.


"Would you like to give me some?" - Max to Kal

Alex says : This homoerotic moment brought to you by Ben and Jerry's.


"How many Academy Awards have YOU won?" - Kal

Alex says: None, and I put $100 on never as well


"Liz, I know you've been here alone waiting for me and I - I was wrong." - Max

Alex says : Poetic justice would be that Liz could wait with Kyle whenever Max is running off again. Since they're both humans, therefore imaginative, I'm sure they'll find ways to spend some good quality and entertaining time together if you know what I mean...


Then date him, love him, you don't have to marry him. - Mrs. Evans

Alex says: Why am I having Party of Five flashbacks? Isabel's even getting Neve Cambell hair.


"I'll never leave you, Liz." - Max

Alex says : Oh, jeez. *rolling his eyes* Where's that Raid/generic insect repellent can when you need it? I have one word to say : P-A-R-A-S-I-T-E.

 

Honorary Alien of the Week

The Wedding Planner. She was straight up creepy.



Moral of the Week

Weddings are hard, they just are

Marriage is your "one chance to be happy" (Excuse me while I die laughing)

It's not easy being a shapeshifter

Max sucks (that can't be said enough)

Blowing off phone dates is unacceptable.

When things get painful, take it out on Michael.

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis

 

...And don't call me 'Shirley'. - Kyle/Isabel

Neil Schweiber says: Hey, stop stealing my lines.


"So where are they?" - Isabel

Alex says : The fans? Watching Smallville or 24.


"I got all the time you need." - Kyle to Isabel

Alex says : Cause pretty much all your scenes are with Isabel?


God I hate cell phones. - Kyle

Alex says: You're sure it's not the people using them?


"What?!? Are you out of your mind?" - Isabel

Alex says : This is the weekly typical fan yelling at their tv.


"We gotta go do that thing we gotta..do." - Michael

Alex says: That Michael, what a wordsmith.


"Your best man?" - Max

"What do you say, Max?" - Jesse

Alex says : I think he's wondering if he wants to be bride or groom.


"Don't you think there's a reason that everybody keeps telling you the same thing?" - Max

Alex says : Earth to Jason Katims! This is a special broadcast for the writers : no spawn quest, no Tess return, get Liz's backbone back when Max is concerned, manage to transform Max into a likable character, get Michael some hygiene lessons, get Kyle more scenes, tone down Isabel and Max's screen time, get the couples more scenes together and get the humans more screen time.


"I'm in trouble." - Isabel

Alex says: I knew there was more to this wedding! You're pregnant aren't you?


"It just happened....things got out of control." - Max about breaking Jesse's nose

Alex says : Didn't he say the same thing about impregnanting Tess?


I'm catering Isabel's wedding. - Liz

Alex says: With what? Galaxy subs?


"I can explain." - Max

Alex says : Is he recycling Frank'n'Furter lines? I sure don't want to see Max wearing a corset, fishnets and high heels.


I was way out of line... - Max

Alex says: Huh, that suckiness realization from last week stuck.


I'm Max Evans, the best man. - Max

Alex says: And yet the ego lives on.

 

 

Honorary Alien of the Week

Khivar, Kivar, however you want to spell it.



Moral of the Week

It's ok to randomly use your powers in public when there's a possible enemy on the loose

Max is the best man (ick)

Dreams are real

Don't hustle drunk statisticians that are wearing Michael's first season wardrobe

A raw steak can heal a broken nose. (Question : what happens to vegetarians?)

When you wanna yell at people, do it on a cell phone.

Always test the groom's blood for green plant cells before getting married.

A wedding will always go well, if not as planned

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis

 

"Kitchen." - Liz, handing Michael's dirty dishes

"I'm not washing all these." - Michael

"Go." - Liz

Michael goes to the kitchen

Alex says : You think we should thank Maria for Michael's new submissiveness?


"Your husbands quite a golfer." - Kivar

Alex says: And you're quite the LSD flashback.


"Spit it out." - Michael to Kyle

Alex says : Isabel cheated on her groom on their honeymoon but everything is all right....


"Somethings been happening for a while now that I don't quite understand." - Mr. Evans describing Max

Alex says: Yea, it's called puberty.


"We don't remember a lot." - Max

Alex says: Yeah, that must be why Max is rude to Liz on the phone when he promised her that he will never leave her and be more demonstrative toward her.


"Well, it all sounds pretty far-fetched to me." - Isabel

Alex says: Whatever, hybrid.


"I feel funny about this but could I speak to you for a minute?" - Philip

Alex says : You think Max and Liz's fathers are having an affair?


"Jesse, are you coming out?" - Isabel

Alex says : Max is the bride after all.


"What if this is some wild goose chase?" - Michael

Alex says : Like the spawn quest?


She wants control, she wants him! - Isabel

Alex says: Isabel, have you ever read Sybil? Might be a good idea to put it on your wish list.


"Why is this happening to me?" - Isabel

Alex says : Because you're the new "star" of the show? Be careful. Look what they did to Max.


"It's a new mode of transit." - Kivar

Alex says: Ah, you got one of those hybrid cars?


You'll have plenty of time for your intense brooding moments with Liz later. - Michael

Alex says: Heh, but please don't make us watch that.


"See he got this girl pregnant..." - Isabel to Jesse

Alex says: Is this the Season 2 recap for that 1 viewer who came into the show mid-Season 3? How nice of you to do that for him/her!


"She's still inside of me." - Isabel about Vilandra

Alex says : Like in "Alien"? Or the dancing alien from Spaceballs?


"Jesse. Honeymoon. Focus. Focus." - Isabel

Alex says : Elena Tyler called. She wants her lines back.

 

Honorary Alien of the Week

The dancing one from Spaceballs. "Hello my baby, hello my honey...."



Moral of the Week

The human brain is smart.

You can cheat on your new groom on your honeymoon

Be sure to always realize that men save you, even if you just saved yourself.

Before getting nookie on your honeymoon from your alien bride, you will have to deal with lack of mood, sleep, bad appetizers, ex-stalking alien lovers, bathroom locks, the bride kissing another man, the bride's brothers looking for blood, excuses, a runaway bride and some physical pain.

"Now how am I supposed to take that the wrong way?" - Maria to Billy's back-handed compliment

Alex says: I could count a few ways.


"The necklace I gave you when I thought I was leaving...I need it back." - Max to Liz

Alex says : Translation for viewers : Max is a cheap ass.


"Listen man, she's good, she's really good." - Billy

Alex says: That line paid for by Majandra's agent.


"Is this deep enough?" - Michael

"Almost." - Max

Alex says : Are they talking about the crap level on this show?


"They found the jeep." - Max

Alex says: So, if this was a great piece of evidence capable of exposing the aliens, why didn't they turn it into a rock or something?


"Something came up." - Max

Alex says: Does that always happen when you think of Tess?


"No, I can't. Not ever." - Max

Alex says : Get your head out of your ass?


"You know what? I don't care about your father or your stupid investigation!" - Michael to Max

Alex says : Amen!


"This floor is way to hard." - Isabel thinking about having sex on it

Alex says : You know, the shower seems more exciting than a hair-covered cold bathroom floor.

Alex says: Yea, you might want to watch out for flying croutons. Those sting!


"I feel like I'm trapped and I'm never gonna get out." - Maria

Alex says : You think the characters will try to escape Katims' Roswell world? Hey guys, follow my voice! There's a life after Roswell.


"If you're trying to tell me you're bisexual or something..." - Michael

Alex says: Ah, so that's what that bed scene with Liz was about.

 

Honorary Alien of the Week

The guitar. Because it got the most votes.



Moral of the Week

Be true to the music, man.

Pink and grey bathrooms are a no-no.

Girls only cook Italian food for their lovers.

Tess is the source of all that is wrong with their world.

Pissed off aliens are dangerous to cars and sugar

Singing with an ex-boyfriend is worse than cheating

Michael is an idiot

He is, he's staring at me. - Max

Alex says: Maybe because you're staring at him.


All I know is I’m not getting any. - Michael to Max

Alex says: Can you say pig? I should have kicked his ass when I had the chance.


"Something made him talk to me. I have to find what that is." - Max

Alex says : Yeah, it's called a script.


"Move away! Stay away!" - Samuel's mon to Max

Alex says : Finally, an appropriate reaction to Max. ::sighs with relief::


You sit here with Max and I'll be right back. - Samuel's mom

Alex says: Yes, that's right, stay with the strange man who suddenly started stalking you.


You had his best interest at heart. - Samuel's dad

Alex says: Yup, using the kid to communicate with your alien son, definitely in his best interest.


Just walk in there. She’ll think it’s hot. - Michael to Max

Alex says: Since when did a) Michael started giving out advice about relationships and b) Max started listening?


I mean the creepfactor here is woo! - Kyle

Alex says: Tell me about it.


He said "Baskin-Robbins" - Samuel's dad

Alex says: I said "product placement."


You're my family. - Max

Alex says: Just to get this straight - Isabel's your home, Liz is your family...what kind of sicko are you?

"But tonight I am here for you." - Max to Samuel

Alex says : RUN!

 

Honorary Alien of the Week

 

The Christmas Snapple



Moral of the Week

Breaks-ups between Maria and Michael only last for half an episode

Hockey is a superior sport

Max is allowed to have a God complex during Christmas

Creepy behavior is ok when the show's lead is the perpetrator

Family is better than perfect (ok, fine that was kinda sweet)

Snapple is definitely a sponsor.

It's just sex and drugs and whatever's passing for rock and roll these days. - Kyle

Alex says: Why don't you check the end of the episode for the lineup?


"Kyle needs a girl, badly." - Kyle to Buddha

Alex says: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Buddhism teaches celibacy.


"Kyle Valenti. This is your lucky night." - Isabel

Alex says : Yup, finding out you're in love with her while she's married and your close friend...join the club, buddy!


Never leave me alone on New Year’s. Ever. - Isabel to Jesse.

Alex says: Because apparently it’s turns her into a pimp.

Know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to runnnnn... - Kyle and Isabel

Alex says: No such luck. And they don’t know how to dress either.


"Ok, but tell me you're not just some guy with a fat buddha statue who prays to get laid on Friday night." - Bitsy to Kyle

Alex says : No, he does that on Mondays. By the way, why do we need to be reminded every time Buddha is mentioned that he is fat?


"Remember the movie thing?" - Old lady Jane

Alex says: Actually, no. That scene must be lying on the cutting room floor, along with most of the footage of me.


But then the alien invasion happened and my whole social started to suck. - Kyle

Alex says: Yes, the aliens to have the power to make things suck. Just call them the Hoovers.


"I swear I've seen you before." - Random girl at party to Max

Alex says: It must have been on the "Most in Need of a Shave" poster


Bingo! - movie lady

Alex says: Yes, let's get all the old folks stereotypes covered.


"She's a nihilist." - Isabel

Alex says: Good thing community college is teaching you how to pronounce that right.


"Let's walk back to the car like we haven't found a thing." - Maria

Alex says: Why? That means less people will be at the party and what's the point of attending a party that nobody goes to?

 

 

Honorary Alien of the Week

Ridiculous Crashdown menu clue that only a waitress that works there would get!



Moral of the Week

Drinking alcohol will make you think you're on fire.

Never leave your new bride alone cause she always finds another guy.

If you can't be with your loved one at midnight on New Years, settle for phone sex.

Kyle's a sweetie and apparently the new Alex

Maria and Max are fun to watch when they remember they're friends

Temporal shifting occasionally works (even on Roswell)

Alex says: Oh the irony...


"It's the whole Maria thing. Ever since they broke up, he's been getting into the tube. It's getting pathetic." - Max about Michael

Alex says : And going to the Crashdown with your sister to see Liz is not pathetic?


"Sorry. Sorry. Forgot something?" - Isabel

"Yeah, my balls." - Jesse

Michael and Max laugh

Alex says : This all male bonding moment brought to you by Golf, the sport all males should be addicted to.


Yeah, [the world] revolves around Michael. - Max

That's a fact. - Michael

Alex says: If by "fact" you mean "delusion of grandeur" then sure!


"Samantha takes pride in her witchcraft and she's made a suffer for it in an uncaring, secular world. She's a modern day Athena." - Michael about Bewitched's Samantha

Alex says : Athena? Wasn't she the goddess of wisdom? Someone got his Greek gods all mix up!

Honorary Alien of the Week

Whoever (in Fan Forum) said that Max looked like he was doing a Mentos commercial in this pic:



Moral of the Week

If there's a laughtrack then it must be funny

Keeping alien secrets is hard (not that this is new, but it's certainly being stressed a whole lot, again, some more, indefinitely...)

Reporters are evil (and wear funny hats)

Sentimental gifts lead to good night kisses which lead to sex

Sitcoms are nice and neat, real life is complicated

"What's wrong?" - Max

"Nothing. I think I'm coming down with something." - Liz

Alex says : Yup, it's called a backbone and self-respect.


"Maybe it's mono." - Max

Alex says: Maybe it's you.

Alex says: Yes, it took 2 and a half years but there are consequences on this show.


"They want to turn me into some bubblegum pop princess." - Maria

Alex says: Turn you into? Maria, hon, don't set 'em up like that if you don't want me to knock 'em down.


"I'm not gonna be the guy you blame for ruining your life." - Michael

Alex sasy: Yeah, ruin your life over some other idiot. A more worthy idiot if you will. With good hair.


"It's what made me fall in love with him." - Liz

"Me too." - Kyle

Alex says: BWHAHAHAHHAHAHHA.

Honorary Alien of the Week

Your high school PE teacher.



Moral of the Week

Max is the cause of all pain

When you are feeling good and so does your friend, you can have sex.

Record execs will try to ruin your music (it's all about the music, man!)

"Yea, I spent it on myself." - Monk about his Valentine's Day money

Alex says: Liar, you have Maureen hidden in Sector 5.


"And Mr. Pile stayed behind." - Old Navy Lady

Alex says: Monk Pile? His name is MONK PILE?!?!? It sounds like a hemroid cream!


Spending a week on a cramped smelly bus was the one of the most liberating experiences in my entire life. - Liz

Alex says: Yep, Liz has a thing for sulfur smell after all...


"It was like coming home." - Liz to Maria about Winnaman Academy

"I feel like I've come home." - Maria to Liz about NYC

Alex says : Awww...finally, someone knows what a home is...sigh...I bet my girls will be home-less pretty soon since King Dick died.


"I'm telling you there's some crashed alien spaceship in there, and they're using reverse engineering to steal all their cool technology. Like, where do you think remote controls came from? Or microwave ovens? Or cell phones?" - Monk

Alex says: Reality check: the aliens use humans as cell phones.


"But there's like all this stuff that you don't even know about." - Liz to Eileen

Dead Max says to Alex: Hey, don't look at me--it was my Future Self that knew about it.

Alex snidely says: Yeah, right.


"Now, some of the girls like to drink straight from the bottle, but personally, I think a flask has a little more class, don't you?" - Eileen

Alex says : Kyle, we just found your new girlfriend.


I think this is supposed to be my room. Liz

Alex says: I *think* a Harvard candidate should know that.


"Screw guys who cheat!" - Eileen

Alex says : Hmmm...you mean you want to screw guys who screwed someone else?

Dead Max with a grin says: Right on!


Just you, The Healer. - Morgan to Max

Alex says: You know, as WWF names go, that's pretty lame.


"Michael calm down. You're going to have to bring me up to speed." - Valenti

Alex says: And lay off the speed!


I can't save someone from a natural death. - Max

Alex says: Huh? Oh wait, Grandma Claudia, yay continuity.


"I'm gonna go on a ski trip this weekend." - Liz

Alex says: One day and you're a bona fide boarding school prep.


"I was thrown against the car and cuffed and everything" - Liz

Alex says: You sound like you liked that a little too much Liz.


"I can't believe you're even with him." - Roommate about Max

Alex says: Give this girl a regular cast spot!


"That's no excuse to kill someone in cold blood." Max to Morgan

Alex says : So Max, is this your opinion about Tess killing me?


Max is dead." - Liz

Alex says : Who cares? Bill died!

"That's Liz's dress." - Michael

Alex says: The one from eBay?

 

Honorary Alien of the Week

Crusty Max



Moral of the Week

Just be yourself and we'll get along fine.

When the alien you love dies, you'll know

Morgan Fairchild is evil (she killed Bill, you don't just forgive something like that)

Jesse is an appendix (as in, he serves no purpose and no one knows why he's there)

Valenti is always gonna be the sheriff

Max is a vampire (see above re: powers)

No chick is worth cutting yourself while smashing a window.

To liberate yourself, spend a week on a bus.

For those attending a boarding school, be sure to break the rules within minutes of your arrival.

Drinking from a flask is classier.

Alcohol is the way to deal with your codependency.

Once a cheater, always a cheater. [That one applies in "real" life]

Who cares about technically?

Alex says : What? Some real inspiring satisfaction watching this show?


"You've got the Parkers but we're not here. Leave a message." - Answering machine on Liz's night table

Alex says : Why would the family's answering machine be in Liz's room? Just asking...


"Can't you breast feed?" - Kyle

Alex says: Nope. She can take life, but she can't give it.


"So the baby isn't linked to you?" - Max

Alex says: I think that was a little obvious when she said it was linked to both of you, and hello Mr. Genius - You've already died before!!!


"I don't believe you." - Max to Tess

Alex says : It's about freaking time!


"The only way to ensure his safety is to give him up." - Max

Alex says: Someone's been taking tips from the X-Files. Is Max going to dye his hair red and change his name to Dana now?


"Max can take care of himself" - Jesse

Alex says : Bwahahaha. All I'm gonna say is Tess, Spot, Utah, Langley, Kivar, Samuel, Michael's couch, a pile of ashes in Meta-Chem...


"You’ve been staring at that thing for hours." Max to Michael referring to alien probe

Alex says: Freud would say it represents something you lack, Michael.


"What are you doing here?" - Kyle

"Ask one of them. I'm sick of explaining." - Tess

Alex says : Well, you just told Max so far...or is it because dense Max has exhausted you? Or are you having troubles keeping track of all your lies?


"You brainwashed me into carrying Alex's dead body." - Kyle

Alex says : Just saying that my name had never been mentioned that many times in an episode before...


"I was raised by a killer, Kyle. A sick and twisted man-" - Tess

Alex says : Didn't he die two years ago? Just saying that Tess had the chance to tell Kivar to go to hell anytime after Nasedo's death...but she didn't when there was no one to force her to anymore.


"Max loves you. Every time we were together, every time we kissed, he was thinking of you. He had these flashes that I saw and they were always of you" - Tess to Liz

Alex says : The writers have reached a new low...hmm...didn't Michael explain last season, that the aliens have control of the flashes they send? Does that mean that Max intentionally sent images of Liz while he was doing Tess? Yuck!


"Have you been body-snatched or something?" Michael to Max

Alex says: Huh, that would explain a lot.


"I'm here. I'll always be here." - Liz to Max

Alex says : That's not a good sign since Tess's "eternity" lasted a few episodes


What should I do with this thing?" Michael about alien probe

Alex says: Avoid your sick subconscious urges at all cost. I don’t want to hurl.


"I can’t believe you spied on me." Isabel to her parents

Alex says: Where have you been the last couple of months?


"Max, what is it?" Phil to Max

Alex says: Geez, it’s a baby.


"Where do you think Tess has been all this time?" Phil to Diane

Alex says: My guess is the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) unemployment line.


"Tess, you are not here." Michael

"Michael, no!" Max

"Max, get out of the way."

Alex says: Yeah, Max, get out of the way!


"So, you were the one that crashed in the desert." Michael

"You were always a quick one, Guerin." Tess

Tess flies through air.

Alex says: Nah, I think your petite body is a lot quicker while flying through the air.


"Get up, bitch" Liz, her hand all aglow

Alex says: Now I’ll be avenged. You go, girl!


"This doesn’t make any sense, Isabel." Phil

Alex says: I’ve been saying that since Season 2.


"Forgive Max or get him out of your life." Maria to Liz

Alex says: You know my vote.


"Another lie?" Max to Tess

Alex says: Duh. You say that like you’re surprised.


"It will never be over." Max

Alex says: Not according to UPN.


"What was that?" Diane

"Just a memory." Max

Alex says: Just like this show will be soon.
