Goofs:

Factual errors: In the second season, Tess points out Barnard's Star to Max while the two are standing in the middle of a fallow field. Despite Barnard's Star's relative proximity (just under 6 light-years), it isn't visible to the naked eye.

Quotes:

Micheal: No. The bottom line Maxwell, I kill people. I kill people, you heal them.
[Maria walks over]
Micheal: You're good, and I'm bad.
Max: It's not true, Michael.
Micheal: Just get out of here.
Maria: What are you talking about?
Micheal: It's not safe.
Maria: It's never been safe. What difference does it make now?

It depicts raw human emotion better than anyother

I never make plans on monday nights. Roswell is one of the top shows on television today... or any other day. It's excellent if not a little unlikely. the character chemistry is perfect. The only thing i would change, is the amount of romance. I'd definitly get more serious into the sci-fi, and give kyle(Nick Wechsler) and alex (Colin Hanks) more screentime. They keep the show from getting to serious... with just the right amount of confusion, they give us comic relief. And their chacters are a fresh change from Max's "Whoa is me" self-pity
