Unfortunately, Roswell, New Mexico is a bit of a dud thus far. Liz is beautiful and serviceable, and Max is broody and tall. Jeanine Mason cries really well and Nathan Dean Parsons is excellent at looking vaguely tortured.
It's not as action packed as the original and I find myself dozing off (nor hard since Tuesday night is Spin night) and getting distracted. I went and took a shower half-way through, came back, and didn't get the feeling that I had missed much. The alien plot is kind of standard issue at this point, complete with a conspiracy theory that functions to keep our One True Pair apart in the interim.
Between the two sets of unrequited lovers on the show and the alien arc, there is an immigrant in America storyline that doesn't gel with either of the two plot points. In fact, none of the plot points really tie into each other very well.
There is, however, one thing that is going to keep me coming back for a little while, at least ...
