ROSWELL Revival/Redo
I was reading an article just minutes before I decided I would do a Discussion Post on this, talking about Canceled TV Shows That are Making a Comeback in 2018! I wasn't overly familiar with them, but then I saw ROSWELL! And my heart soared! Of course, I know all the authors are older and are soooo far off from being able to pass as teenagers!
But then the article went on to say that it would NOT be a continuation. It's a brand new story with the same plot line. Teenage girl discovers her crush is an alien...and oh, twist, she's an undocumented immigrant, so an alien too!
I'm not too sure how I feel about this. I mean I was DEVASTATED when season 3 was the final one. Sure I had the book series, but it was only 4 books long after the show ended. Sooooo not enough. I admit, it did end well...ish. Still upset that Isabel and Jesse couldn't be together. I mean, what was that about?! Seriously, he's pretty much in danger too! Also felt like Michael and Maria didn't really settle things between them and weren't happily running away with one another. There were many feels in that last season!
Lately, all these remakes and "revamps" give me odd feelings. On the one hand, I am curious to see what will happen with the new version, and then on the other I'm appalled that they DARE to "revamp" a beloved favorite of mine.
Though the article doesn't make it sound like CW has made a done deal on the show yet. It's a possibility but it doesn't seem concrete. So I guess we'll wait to see what the Fall TV season will bring us.
So what do you think? Would you watch a totally new version of Roswell? I'm still on the fence about it.
