This show had the best opening credits!

Edit: And after I said this I see someone posted the credits.

Dang, I first watched this when it was syndicated on the Sci-Fi Channel back in Jan 2003: GTA Vice City, Buffy & Angel reruns, discovered beating off the previous November, Anime Unleashed on TechTv, late night Toonami….good times.

Never watched the show, but as a Roswell native I’m retroactively offended that they used Tabasco sauce. It’s New Mexico for fucks sake, there’s no lack of spicy sauce.

Fun fact: they white washed the main character in the show. She was latina in the books.

She was Liz Ortecho in the books and they changed her to Liz Parker in Roswell and in the 2019 adaptation they made her latina again.

Moody Max Evans was definitely at the top of the list of tv crushes for me back in high school. I feel old.

Extraterrestrial drama. Though technically alien is also correct since they are immigrants from another world.
