Storyline

Living among the citizens of the infamous New Mexico city of Roswell are some who are not there by choice. They are there to follow a destiny given to them by the members of their dying race, a race that they are someday destined to save. This is the background behind the WB series "Roswell". Max Evans, Isabel Evans and Michael Guerin are teenage humans with extraordinary gifts - gifts that are "not-of-this-earth". They are human/alien hybrids, sent here to complete their destiny. Their counterparts have already perished in a war of attrition, thus one day, they will return to their home planet and save their race. Before a fateful day in 1999, the teens hid their gifts. The event that forever changed their lives was when Max healed Liz Parker (a classmate) after she was fatally shot in the stomach in a dispute between two customers at the restaurant where she waitresses...

Trivia

Though the name given to the alien Nasedo is purported on the show to be an Indian word for "visitor," it was actually made up by show co-executive producer and writer Thania St. John by scrambling the letters of the town of Sedona, Arizona. See more »

Goofs

Plot holes: During the first season, all of the Roswell aliens seem to have the ability to heal (Michael heals the leg of a Native American) but in the later seasons it seems only Max has this ability. The change is confirmed in "Who Died and Made you King?" See more »

Quotes

Isabel: It is all about trust Max. God, do you really think that I would marry someone that I didn't even know? Someone who might be secretly working for the FBI or even
[gasps]
Isabel: an alien. Don't you think that I have walked through is dreams a few times? And that maybe I checked on his alien status A LONG TIME AGO. God, Max. The irony here is that I trusted you. I trusted you to stand up at my wedding with my whole family there. I trusted you to be there for me. And you weren't.

Crazy Credits

Starting with the third season opening credits, while most of the actors'
names appear normally, those of the three playing the aliens (Jason Behr,
Katherine Heigl and Brendan Fehr) appear first in alien script, then morph
into English, representing their rebirth from a previous alien life on
Earth. See more »
