Roswell Rolls On

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - "The decision wasn't made until the night before they announced their schedule," says "Roswell" producer Ronald D. Moore about his show's jump from The WB to UPN. "There were many phone calls back and "We're in a good place," says Moore. "'Buffy's' a tremendous lead-in for us, that's for certain. We're in the perfect slot in the schedule at the moment." One dark cloud is that the slot pits "Roswell," a show about alien teens, against The WB's "Smallville," centered on the teen years of alien Superman/Clark Kent."Hey," says Moore, "we're on the air. That's all that matters." In the "Roswell" season finale, the aliens (Jason Behr, Brendan Fehr, Katherine Heigl, Emilie de Ravin) were preparing to abandon Earth for their home planet. In the end, only the duplicitous Tess (de Ravin) left, carrying Max's (Behr) child. This launched "Jason set the tone for the rest of us," says Moore. "Early on, he said, 'I just believe this is the show you can't kill.' They've tried, and they've tried, ever since the pilot was made, and it went from Fox At this point, Moore doesn't anticipate any As for plot, Moore promises more of the same."The template for what we want to do is Next season, the human and alien teens will be seniors in high school, except for alien Isabel (Heigl), whose brainy character has graduated early. Where she would attend college became a question toward the end of season two."We're talking about that," says Moore. "She'll hang around. The show is 'Roswell,' so she's going to be in Roswell, by hook or by crook."
