Why TCK’s should check it out?

The series deals very well with the universal feelings of finding a home, belonging somewhere, or to someone, and finding and creating your own identity. It would be of interest to TCKs be cause it deals so well with the feeling of ‘home’ and they will be able to relate to feeing different to others in their high school.

On another note: I like seeing Katherine Heigl and Colin Hanks in earlier roles!

Name: Roswell

Director/Creator: Jason Katims

Starring: Shiri Appleby, Jason Behr, Katherine Heigl, Colin Hanks, etc.

Summary:

The series focused on teenage aliens – a brother and sister Max and Isabel and their friend Michael- hiding in plain sight as humans in Roswell, New Mexico. The aliens are survivors of the 1947 UFO crash popularly known as The Roswell Incident.

Quotes:

Isabel : Michael, where are we gonna go? You know, Roswell is home.
Michael : Roswell is not home. It’s not even our solar system.
Max : Well, this is the closest thing we have to home right now.

Michael : The thing I’ve realized is the fact that my life basically sucks is a good thing.
It’s easier. We always have to be able to leave, pack a suitcase, go somewhere else. Maybe 10 years from now, maybe a week from now, maybe tomorrow. So my advice? Don’t get in too deep, Maximillian. It only makes us weaker.

Isabel: And what is home, anyway? Half of me is from there, half of me is from here. What makes one half more important than the other?
