This week's episode of Roswell is titled "285 South." The awesome quote this time around is voiced by both Michael and Maria, "There's got to be more for me somewhere other than Roswell, New Mexico." That one brings a smile to my face as I've heard it said many a time from teens in my RHS graduating class and those currently attending the real Roswell High.

In this rerun episode, Michael is caught breaking and entering. He also steals a car, with Maria in it, trying to follow an image he has in his mind. He and the others believe it is a clue to their past.

Michael and Maria's bantering conversation is wonderfully funny as they attempt to make it down highway 285 south, being unknowingly followed. Liz and Isabel discover what have in common.

There were touching moments as well as comical situations throughout 285 South. Overall, it is a delightful episode. Music this time introduced two groups to me: Stroke 9 and Euphoria. Next week another return episode called River Dog will be shown.

Roswell Extra!

Cries of 'SAVE ROSWELL!' have rung out as fans of Roswell react to rampant rumors of the show's cancellation possibility. Letter writing campaigns are in full swing and petitions through both postal and email venues are circulating. One in particular is asking fans to mail Warner Brothers a bottle of Tabasco sauce with their letter. These Roswellians [apparently you're a Roswellian if you're a fan of the show and a Roswellite if you actually come from the town] plan to make sure their favorite show stays on the air.

In the mean time, Roswell is being moved to a new day. Beginning on April 10th, Roswell will be shown on Mondays at 9:00 p.m. The good news with the move is there will be all new episodes for the rest of the season. Warner Brothers says future episodes will "expand creatively to further develop its sci-fi elements." This has spawned fan debates over whether more sci-fi would enhance the show or destroy its romantic elements.

The March Issue of Life magazine features a great cover with Jason Behr, Katherine Heigl, and Brendan Fehr. In it they're holding a photo of a 1962 UFO. The article, "The Search for Extraterrestrial Life" doesn't mention the television show Roswell but is interesting anyway. One comment by a Roswellite struck a chord in me. He mentioned the large numbers of people who left Roswell after Walker Air Force Base closed in 1967. I remember ours being the only house for several blocks which wasn't vacant. I was six.

Los Angeles saw the first ever Roswellian Gathering on February 26th, 2000. About 75 fans attended at the L.A. Paramount Studios where they met cast members and saw a pre-screening of the episode, "Sexual Healing." For more info from a gathering attendee and some photos, see the eFanGuide website.
