Many agents tell actresses to keep beauty marks. It distinguishes them from the 1000 other perfect faces auditioning for the role. If you haven't figured out by now in today's Hollywood, they've stopped casting the absolute best-looking women for lead television roles. Television now is mostly designed by women for female audiences.
I never liked the original Roswell much and this pilot didn't do anything for me. It appears that the CW is developing a house style outside of their DC shows for all their new programs.

There is such a thing as a "beauty mark" and there is such a thing as having people wonder why an actor has a horse fly attached to their face.
It's fncking ridiculous and just plain dumb.
When this blonde girl speaks on-screen I can't hear a damn thing she is saying because of the Mini Me basketball on the side of her nose...
I honestly don't watch enough network television shows to notice.

Anybody else still watching this?
i feel like it’s getting a bit better each week. Things aren’t quite what they seem on the surface, and I’m glad Kyle doesn’t seem to be taking things at face value with the militaryuy after getting new inf from his mom.
Pretty sire something is off with Maria. Maybe she’s not telling the truth or it’s a red herring, but she seems to be holding something back.
Seems like Isobel quickly got some much needed depth to her character. Hopefully that continues.
Also seems like the writers thought out so,e of the plot, and/or took some queues from shows to end on a bit of a cliffhanger. Will be interesting to see what’s up with Max. Likewise, hopefully he tells Isobel and Michael about Liz’s comment on Rosa.

We quit the series after the first half of this episode.

Yeah still watching, getting better.
I did fall asleep during the premiere, so thought of forgetting about it.
Almost outright turned it off during the first scene when she got pulled over by cop not knowing who stopped her. That dialogue from here being pulled over was so cheesy crap.

They did a fantastic job of casting actresses who look like sisters

They certainly aren’t going the conventional route. I’m actually kind of rooting for Kyle!
The military guy can’t leave soon enough. And so convenient Max’s cop partner has some mysterious background the military guy can leverage...

Well this show is certainly starting to hit a stride. I do really feel like any show somebody is interested in should be given 6-12 episodes to develop.
Anyhow, they are definitely borrowing from Alias and Vampire Diaries with their plotting by keeping the ends of episodes as mini-cliffhangers. There are certainly a lot of balls in the air.
The three siblings are really on a knifes edge. Amazing how Michael and Izzy kept such a huge secret from Max, while Max and Michael kept an even bigger secret from Izzy. Will be interesting g to see how that turns out, especially with Izzy’s home life falling apart.
Meanwhile, a lot of development with Kyle and his dead dad. Apparently Rosa is his half sister?! I wonder if Liz’s dad knew, which is why her mom left them. And if that wasn’t enough, Michael’s boyfriend now has a piece of alien tech from the 70s bunker shack!
I do appreciate they aren’t throwing Max and Liz together. Would have been too soon after the Kyle situation. Plus, I’m not entirely rooting for them anyway.

Pretty big episode!
We found out how Rosa and the girls died! Probably should have titled this ‘I Know What You Did Last Summers’!! Looks like she had (has?) some sort of spilt personality disorder (after the attempted abduction and murder).
Meanwhile we found out how Michael ended up with a broken hand. As if we couldn’t dislike Baines any more?! I liked younger Michael better! Plus he gave up his future and sanity for Isobel.
Plus, Liz none too happy with Max.
I think somebody referenced a girlfriend, date, etc. of Max’s. I think they said her name was Tess. I wonder if that is a nod to original series.
I did laugh at Kyle saying “Go Wolverines!” about Michigan. I have wonder if that was an in joke to Mystic Falls!
Should be interesting to see where they go from here.

I really like this and the new Charmed a lot more than I was expecting. The best part is reading all the posts from the crazies complaining about the politics in the shows. I know Charmed has been given a full season order and picked up for season two but anyone hear any news about Roswell?

Interestingly Wiki only lists 9 episodes for the season. I guess it’s a super short season? Also, Paul Wesley is directing the next episode, and Shiri Appleby is directing #9.

I don't watch the show, but I saw that Shiri Appleby directed this week's episode. That is pretty cool.

I guess a 4th was inevitable?
Given how quickly people are finding out about the secret, there’s no way the entries town hasn’t already known for 50 years! You’re telling me Mains and Vellenti Sr were working this for decades, and nobody knew about it?! Now somebody brings up the smallest thing you could brush off and, “Whelp! Gosh darn it, I guess we have to tell you now...” not working too well for Julie Plec when you don’t have vampire mind control to fall back on as a plot device!
A lot really did happen here. I think the biggest is Isobel’s husband finding her and leaving it at that. I was assuming she’d end up in the back seat “stolen”.
The Max/Liz Things was very anticlimactic. He has so much more chemistry with this partner.

Each episode is picking up the pace big time. Amazing so many people are in the know, and suddenly showing secrets left and right.
I have no clue who the 4th is; I’m not even sure it’s somebody we’ve met. Based on Isobel’s new memories it seems like it’s a male.
