It's a combination of nostalgia (I watched the original series through season 2, dumped it before the tragedy of season 3) and the topic (aliens) that I watch this show. But stop trying to make me want to dump it all the time. From Liz being one of the most "unscientific" people in the world for all her "caring about facts" while ignoring others to this season, to this current season that if Max really had the bad heart he's supposed to have, Liz would have made alcohol and sex "no nos," to now I'm just really up to here with the politics!

As Sherif Valenti said in season 1, illegals are illegals. There's the right way, the law abiding way to enter a country, ANY country, and the illegal way. Most countries of the world just deport illegals -- end of story. The US actually gives them a hearing before deporting them. And while I understand and empathize with the fear Liz has, WHY, in the 30+ years that her father has lived in the US, has he never tried to become legal? But yes, vilify people doing their jobs and enforcing the law. I don't agree with everything ICE does or how it's done, but I do believe in respecting the law while changing laws that need changing. Everyone in the world should respect the laws where they live, and if they don't like them, then change them, LEGALLY. It's pretty messed up that the son of a senator gets Liz's dad out, illegally, yet another flaunt against the law. People should respect the law that yes, we are ALL supposed to live and abide by or suffer legal consequences.

As far as the actual point of the show, alien stuff, not bad. I'm not sure why Max finding out that he isn't biologically connected to Isabel threw him for a loop. Michael isn't biologically connected to either of them but he's still family. I agree with Liz that family isn't always biological. But I do understand Max taking offense at "you came from something else." Very strange choice of words. But again, why does Max think he must be the devil that was chasing Isabel's mother when he was in a pod WITH HER DAUGHTER? IF he was the devil, I doubt she would have kept him next to her daughter. Usually Max is a little bit more intelligent than that.

Anyway, guys, stop being ridiculous with this show! Try to have actual facts and actual science and stop promoting lawlessness. It's obnoxious. Focus on the space aliens, please, not the politics of the illegal ones.

It is getting very easy to lose interest in this show. They seem to be trying to maintain interest with constant, often contradictory, revelations, but I can't remember the last time we had one that was genuinely shocking or interesting rather than a "So what?" or "Sigh. Really?" Having established a few episodes back that Maria definitely wasn't an alien, the show now decides that she is one after all, or at least one eighth of one. Meanwhile, we have Michael and Alex taking several steps back in one ridiculously macho scene.

Liz's storyline is ultimately wrapped up in a pat manner and seems to serve no purpose other than to make laboured political points. It feels like the show's left out two of its most interesting characters in favour of yet more of Max looking moody...

I watch Roswell because of the old tv show. And I'm a sucker for CW teen angst. But seriously stop pushing a political agenda down our throats. I have no pity for people who break the law.
