Haha... I umm.. kind of forgot to tell you all that I, uh, was going away for 11 days. Well, not neccessarily going away for 11 days - but would not have the internet at my disposal for 11 days.

Oh sh!t! There's a spider crawling against the wall..
Yuck.
Sorry, thought I should mention that.

Anyway, so yeah, just in case any of you thought I was dead... or abducted by aliens (I've been watching Roswell compulsively)... or that I had purposely chosen not to go onto TV.com... I thought I'd let you know that I was just away for a little bit.

So yeah, what is new in TV land?
I hear the writer's strike is still going on... Bummer...

Anyway, this is a bit of an update on what I've been watching:

ROSWELL
Well, I finished. I'm proud of myself. I was able to control myself and watch all three seasons within 22 days. That's pretty good for me. The Christmas before the one that just came, I got ALIAS seasons 1-3, and I went through them within like 13 days or something!
So yeah, I was able to spread myself out a bit.
I think I did well considering I didn't have a computer for 11 days, and have realised just how much I rely on it to live.

Anyway, back to Roswell. I thought the first season was good. A little too "Max-And-Liz"y, and obsessive over those two, but it was good when Emilie de Raven joined the cast.
Although she wasn't the most likeable character, she definitely brought something to the show... despite her annoying Australian accent.
I don't sound like that, do I?
I hope not.

I thought the second season was awesome at the beginning. I really, really loved it. But once the "other" versions of Max, Isabel, Michael and Tess came in, the show was a little ... weird. I didn't like it as much. Until Alex's death, and Liz was on her investigation to solve who did it.
I thought the ending was satisfying to that.

The third season was a whole other thing.
Every season has a different feel to it, and this one felt a lot less highschooly. I'm not sure howI feel about the Isabel/Jesse pairing yet, and how that all played out, but I overall enjoyed the last season.
The ending was great.
I mean, yes, they are still on the run from the law, and there may have been a few things that weren't really tied up, but the ending gave me a nice, warm, satisfying feel in the end.

I wish there were a forth season, but you take what you can get, right?

I'd recommend Roswell to people who are into "love ships". I don't think that if you are neccessarily into Buffy and Angel, you will automatically like this show.
Yes, it's sci-fi/supernatural.
Yes, it's aimed at teens..
But it's on a whole different level of... everything.
The writing, acting, wit, etc., isn't at the same standards of Buffy and Angel, however, I don't think the show falls short of quality television.

It has it's cheesy, illogical and inconsistant moments, but overall, it's a good show.
My Rating: 7/10

JOEY
OK, so the series improved a little bit, I think, further into the series.
It's still average comedy, averagecharacters, and in no way the same league as Friends ever was, but I'm not writing it off as horribly unwatchable.
Although, I've yet to see the second season, so...

Not much to say about this series, except for what's already been said.
