haha...me too!!!! I saw he was in it and I had to watch it!

as for Jason...well

I think the show was Based from YA books, I never read them, but from what I heard they changed alot for the show, I don't know if thats true, but I love the show so much I didn't want to read the books.
(the books arn't called Rosewell, but I can't remember the name?)

The original books were called Roswell High. After the show they went and changed the covers to match the tv characters and reprinted them.
I loved Roswell. It was my obsession before Twilight! I see many parallels between Max and Liz/Edward and Bella. Forbidden love, different species, danger to be together, lust, misunderstanding, and true love. I wished the series was longer.

Hi All,

I was so excited to see a Roswell thread although I mistakenly had started a new one. Woops! For some reason (I dunno, work, family, housework?) I'm always late getting into these series, but once in, I'm totally hooked! I still wear my Roswell hat everywhere and just now replaced my keychain with a Twilight one. After Roswell, I got into Buffy because Jason Behr had been on an episode and he and Sarah Michelle Gellar had been in Grudge together. I've been renting Buffy and Angel at the same time through Netflix for about a year. It's all on hold though, since Twilight. I've had three DVDs sitting on top my t.v. for a month now while I immerse myself in everything Edward.

So anyway, I immediately was reminded of my Roswell obsession when it was Jessica? who told Bella "Edward Cullen is staring at you", just as Maria told Liz "Max Evans is staring at you again" in the Crashdown in the first episode. The whole love, sacrifice, exposure theme is the same. What I loved most about the show was the intense chemistry between Shiri and Jason. Supposedly Kristen and Rob have the same, so I think we're in for a huge treat! I cannot wait and am so glad this time I actually got into it before the movie came out! Roswell was great because there were so many episodes (3 years worth!) but I'm glad Twilight is a movie. I just pray it does well enough to warrant three more movies!

That's another parallel between these two stories -- there was great chemistry between Max and Liz, and even between Maria and Michael. Rob and Kristin both have admitted to feeling the chemistry between them while shooting the film. Rob reportedly even proposed to Kristin during filming! I just heard them ask Kristin about that in an interview, and Rob claims "he doesn't remember!" He says he proposes a lot. Well, send one of those proposals this way buddy! hahaha

I need to dig out my Roswell DVD's and watch some tonight!
