Sci-Fi Flies High

In contrast, the teenage aliens of Roswell are a sympathetic, peace-loving lot, equipped with special gifts and capable of doing mankind great good - if only mankind would let them. In this series, the viewer is meant to identify with the young heroes and side with them against the "dominant," i.e., adult, human culture that threatens their very lives.
"At first I thought of it as an immigrant story," says executive producer Jason Kitims. "The immigrants didn't know much about where they were from - it was an assimilation story. But as they began to find out more about their origins, and that they weren't alone, it led to larger stories - epic in nature. The stories have grander themes - what it means to be a leader of your people, that there is a reason for them to be here on earth - and each has a role to play."

In a "Roswell" episode airing Dec. 18, young Max will have to decide whether he should use his power to heal for the good of human beings. What is his responsibility to humankind? Healing others will expose him to great danger. It's an epic moral issue - what he owes mankind versus what he owes himself and his own people.
