We've been discussing this on the OTOs thread, on Tuesday 6th October we will be able to celebrate the 10th anniverary of the TV premiere of Roswell (well for North Americans, the rest of us had to wait a lot longer for the show ).

So how will you celebrate Roswell's 10th anniversary? Partaking of something sweet 'n' spicy or otherwise alien themed? A DVD Roswell-a-thon? Playing 'Here With me' at top volume?

I think we all have to do something, however minor, (and given time differences around the world not necessarily at the same time) to commemorate the birth of the Roswell phenomenon

I'm in.

That is a great idea

Maybe I will finally try ice cream with tabasco on it

I actually like it with the green better than the red

I will be watching the Pilot ep and playing my CD

And ... October 6th is a Tuesday ... fits right in with our RVP ... we probably gonna be watching the Pilot ... <<<Sigh>>>

Yes. unfortunately time difference means I can't join in though I wish I could do just this once. Does anyone know if there were ever any true or invented Roswell recipes online at all? I feel the need for an Alien Blast on Tuesday otherwise I might try chocolate cake with Tabasco

You can order a fan based Crashdown cookbook here. I have it and it's got some good stuff in it. According to the cookbook the Alien Blast is a coffee drink with ice cream, it tells you how to make it plus adding chocolate to make it a mocha one. I don't know if it's what they intended for the show, but it sounds good

Thanks roswellbrat, a Crashdown Cookbook - how cool is that and anything with chocolate sounds good

Count me in for an Alien Blast - sounds -

I can't either. Perhaps in addition to the normal RVP, we can set up a thread, so people can post throughout the day?

That sounds good having a threrad so people can post through out the say. I have to work in the morning, but in the evening I sure could sit and watch Roswell!!!

i'll think about the LA roswell parties and our infamous auctions.

i still have bman's scrubs! LOL

I've got Sheriff Valenti's Stetson.

to Roswell! 10 years old today and still in so many of our hearts

If you do anything special to commemorate the event please let us know

I'll be off later to buy some chocolate birthday cake so I can try it with tabasco sauce...think I'll add the tabasco to a small piece first just in case it's revolting

If you find yourself with a lot of time on your hands, you might try doing an Alien autopsy....dessert

OMG that looks really gross bet they never had that at the Crashdown...

Roswell!!!! You are still in our Hearts!!!!!!

OK, I took the plunge and tried the chocolate cake + tabasco - didn't Kyle once say something to Tess about the sweet 'n' spicy like "that isn't actually totally disgusting"? I did actually quite like it though I really enjoy spicy stuff anyway - just be sparing with the tabasco so you can still taste some chocolate though

Happy Anniversary Roswell

Roswell Happy 10 year anniversary Have fun celebrating your own little way everyone.

Well, it turns out I'm definitely not an alien. I put tabasco on my cereal, and it was not good.

Happy Anniversary, Roswell!

Oh dear, I hope you only added it to a small part of your cereals

I shall be watching the Pilot soon, the DVD version so without the original music, I 'd love to have seen it with the original music for once...but it will be the first time I have seen it on my new 32" LCD screen

SO47, you've never seen Roswell with the original music?!?!?


HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY ROSWELLIANS!

Listening to Ros-music all day.

... ...

Later,

Only the second season episodes when I saw it on TV here, I have never seen any of the S1 epis with original music

You have really missed something. The music was a HUGE part of how great especially the first season was. The reason they couldn't use it on the DVD was because the little known groups who had contributed the music to the episodes became the really popular groups by the time the series ended. Couldn't afford what it would cost to pay off all those wonderful groups for their work.

Happy 10th Anniversary Roswell


I still have the tapes I made of Roswell

Try Tabasco on ice cream. Yum!

Do you have a specific flavor of ice cream? I know that you have mentioned it a number of times, so I really have to try eventually.

My personal opinion is that the TV vs DVD music is not as significant in the Pilot. The most memorable song for me is Crash Into Me, which is in both. As for other eps, I agree that many times the TV music is better, but there are some times that I actually prefer the DVD music. In any case, if they had to replace the music, I think they did make some good choices.

The Pilot is always fun to watch, because it really makes me remember how much I loved the Max and Liz relationship. But I think the biggest thing that you see in the Pilot vs some of the other eps is the relationship between Max, Isabel, and Michael. I loved how they really looked out for each other and understood each other. It also really mirrors the friendship between Liz, Maria, and Alex. You can really understand why it was so hard for Liz to keep the secret from them.

You've gotta love Valenti in this one ("Aren't you gonna read me my rights?" "Do you have any?"). And I see a little more of who Kyle is with each viewing of the Pilot.

Happy Anniversary, Roswell! Thank you to Jason Katims, Melinda Metz, and the whole cast and crew that brought us this series that still makes an impact 10 years later.

I lent out my DVDs a few weeks back, but was glad to find Hulu has S1 and watch the Pilot yesterday!

Happy 10th Anniversary ROSWELL

I still get chills down my spine whenever I think of the show and the great times we had here on M/Mlvd late 2003-04.

I miss all you guys who helped make Roswell a life changing experience.

And all that great original music.. wow!! it's still the most played on my iPod.

Ohhh Remy Zero.. Perfect Memory & Ivy.. Undertow

Really 10 years! Can't believe it. Guess that means a special mini Roswell marathon is going to occur at some point Congratulations!

From EW.com's "17 All-Time Great Cult TV Shows You Say We Missed":

"What about ROSWELL? I loved how it ended, with the bumper sticker ''Thank you for visiting Roswell.'' I thought that it was a nice touch for the fans who were sad to see it go. —Kelli"

"An out-of-this-world guilty pleasure," a Roswell article over at North by Northwestern.

That was a great article....thanks for sharing.....

Yes, it was very much a "guilty pleasure" for me too one that I was never able to share with anyone except online

''A Roswell Christmas Carol'' is on EW.com's 26 Classic Holiday TV Episodes.

I bet that was wonderful!! Sorry I missed it I wasn't near a computer for a few days. I guess when I get home need to pull out the Christmas Roswell episodes. THat will be a good way to end my Christmas break.

I love that it's on the list though it should be #1 of course - and all because of the Christmas Nazi

TV.com listed their Top 10 Shows That Were Canceled Too Soon:

5. Roswell
(WB, 3 seasons, 61 episodes, ended in 2002)
This WB classic mixed aliens and humans long before District 9 was around -- and the aliens were a lot cuter, too. Katherine Heigl, Shiri Appleby, and Colin Hanks all got their big breaks on Roswell, but the honeymoon lasted only three seasons.

Wasn't sure where to post it (I do remember a Fandom thread, but can't seem to find him right now )

OTP on Roswell

TV.com has a feature on five shows whose fans (were) devoted to keeping their OTP (One True Pairing) together "by any means necessary":

Show: Roswell
Sinking Ship: Emilie de Ravin almost gets deported back to Australia
OK, it never actually came to that, but believe it or not, Max/Liz fans (“Dreamers”) were so incensed by the Max/Tess pairing that they began a petition to get Australian actor Emilie de Ravin (Tess) deported. Thankfully, nothing ever came of this misguided and rather heartless campaign. By the end of the series, the Dreamers got the wedding they’d hoped for all along. And while Tess didn’t make it out of Roswell alive, de Ravin has found even bigger success on Lost—with her Australian accent, no less.
