Roswell/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Adaptation Displacement: The show was based on a series of Young Adult novels called Roswell High.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Max/Tess, Isobel/Michael.
  • Hollywood Homely: Would three kids looking like that really go unnoticed at a high school that long? Only if they're on a teen drama, where everybody everyone who gets Character Focus looks that good.
  • The Scrappy: The characters each took turns.
    • Tess, Michael, and Maria are the most widely disliked, but for different reasons.
  • Shocking Swerve: In an utterly bizarre turn, the show introduced a character as their new math teacher, who raised Liz's suspicions by getting a simple mathematical concept wrong and being strangely inquisitive. Eventually it was revealed that she's not really a teacher, she's actually a .... guidance counselor? What. Why would their guidance counselor be impersonating a teacher?
