 REGARDNG NEW DVD SET OF SEASONS 1, 2, 3, OF ROSWELL August 20, 2008
Patrick E. Perret (New Orleans, LA ( U.S.A.))
I like this series and this new packaging does not change a thing accept it cheaper. I paid 19.99 per set when it was first released compared to the original at thirty something dollars per set. Who cares what is on the outside of the box when everything else is the same. Great show I hope you enjoy it as much as me.

*NOTE ON EDITION*
I like that this series is being re-released on DVD with a new look, but I think it's absolutely preposterous that Fox is trying to make it look like Katherine Heigl was the star of the show. It's disrespectful to the rest of the cast, to the writers, and even to Katherine Heigl fans, because even the producers said that she was the *least* developed of all the main characters. This season of Roswell gets an 8/10, but this edition gets a 1/10.
"Roswell" has a lot to prove to me in its third season. I was utterly unimpressed with Season One, but still entertained enough to give the show another chance. And when I saw the second season, I was blown away by the increase in quality. However, I was let down by the finale of the second season, which felt like a contrived way to get rid of a character that fans didn't like (Tess). So going into this season, the third and final, I had high hopes that show-runners Jason Katims and Ronald D. Moore would bounce back with another great season.
And they did. Against all odds, even. Creative decisions were made that I couldn't have imagined would work for the better, but in the end, they did. While the core of the first season was the romance between Max and Liz (played by Jason Behr and Shiri Appleby, the two weakest members of the cast) and the second season focused on the sci-fi aspect, the third creates a sort of balance between those two aspects. By this time, both Liz and Max have developed as characters and Behr and Appleby have drastically matured as actors. Both of these factors come together, finally making the Liz/Max pairing a believable relationship.
Another decision that I couldn't have imagined working was the introduction of Jesse Ramirez (played by Adam Rodriguez) as a member of the main cast. At first, I was weary, and then when Isabel and Jesse got married six episodes into the season, I was still iffy about it but also blown away by the ballsiness of that decision. In the end, it certainly was worth it, thanks in part to Adam Rodriguez's brilliant performance. However, some of the decisions didn't work as well. For the first half of the season, Max had a drastic wardrobe change, which reeked of the crew trying desperately to make us believe that Max was troubled and tormented. Instead of actually selling that aspect of his character in a story, they threw a leather jacket on him, tousled his hair, and put a bit of eye-liner on him to make his eyes look sunken. Also, there was an episode where Michael "goes bad" which felt very contrived to me. To work up to such a dramatic shift in a character (even if it's just for one episode), it has to be earned, and I felt that it wasn't earned in this case.
All in all, this season was really about maturity. All of the actors improved drastically in this season, and though those who have stood out still stand out the most (William Saddler as Jim Valenti, Nick Wechsler as Kyle Valenti, Majandra Delfino as Maria DeLuca, and Brendan Fehr as Michael Guerin), Shiri Appleby and Jason Behr really start to show their acting chops in this season as well. The characters take on new directions, some good and some not-so-much, but the heart of the show is always there. And--get ready for this review to end on a cheesy, but true, note--the heart has always been what makes "Roswell" a good show. A show that I certainly won't forget.
8/10

Apparently,these brand new editions of the show on DVD were made only to attract KH's fans,and like it was said,SHE'S NOT THE STAR OF THE SHOW and neither EMILY"Lost"DE RAVIN!.Ok,the cover arts are really good,way better than the first ones,but I'm sincerly sorry for those who will be fooled by these if the original soundtrack isn't ont it...And I'm really sorry for Fox to come to this so they can promote such a good show with great actors and great writting...Sorry as well for true fans of the show who will never have the opportunity to own it on DVD as it authentic version juste like SMALLVILLE fans,ONE TREE HILL fans,THE O.C fans,ALIAS fans,DARK ANGEL fans,BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER fans,CHARMED fans,SIX FEET UNDER fans,KYLE XY fans,GREYS ANATOMY fans,SCRUBS fans (only season one box set had music issue,and not a big one)did,so on...And I'm sorry for myself,a true fan of the show I watched every nights on my sweet sixteen who will never have his favorite show on DVD just the way he remember he loved it.As for the other shows fans with the same disease (FELICITY,LAS VEGAS,POPULAR,MELROSE PLACE,ect...)I'm sorry for you to...
