Roswell unwatch - Leaving Normal

Liztastic monologue of the week: Sometimes your heart takes you places you aren't meant to go. Followed by Max doing that little "shh, don't speak!" finger to the lips. EPIC.

Superpower of the week: Making people really itchy.

So this week on Roswell, Liz's beloved grandma (who of course will never be referred to again) shows up in town. She, Liz, and Marie get together to talk about boys. Eat it, Bechdel Test! But shortly after, Granny has a stroke, which almost causes Liz to raise her voice above the level of a deer that's just spotted a headlight. If only she knew someone who had healing powers!

Of course, after about half an hour, she does ask Max to heal Granny, but instead of any conflict, he just says that he can't heal Granny like he did Liz because "What happened to you wasn't supposed to happen. It wasn't your time." Well, that's just maddeningly metaphysical. "I'm not God," he continues. "Well, you should be!" Liz replies in my imagination. "One day, you'll be the most powerful Jedi ever!"

I do like how when the focus of the scene is on a stuck locker, it has a big product-placementy Yahoo sticker on it. Teenage boys fuckin' love search engines!

We need a B-plot, so Isobel gets roped into helping Marie at the diner, scandalizing her hot friends because... popular girls don't have jobs? Or something? So bitchy Isobel is forced to serve uppity patrons with hilarious consequences... or she just takes mild umbrage at being called ma'am (yeah, how dare you use a commonly accepted mode of respectful address for women!) and then heats up people's food for them. She didn't even pour water on anyone's head. That's the bare minimum for wacky waiting shenanigans.

Also in this episode, Liz finally sacks up and dumps Vince, chiding how he can even be friends with people who beat up Max (read: they hit him twice. Horrors!). No one let her know that her alien BFFs are tight with Michael, who's been doing nothing but advocating B&E, negligent homicide, and going Columbine on some bullies since the pilot.
