A member of the Long family with teal hair, who’s not completely full of hate (though suspiciously interested in Nazis), who’s hot as hell and seems pretty into Guerin? We knew both Michael and Alex are slated to get love interests this season, but that’s not what I think anyone had in mind. You could even say that for all his shame over the evil actions of Manes men throughout history, Alex has chosen Michael again and again, including making what some see as the biggest sacrifice for those you love, by giving Michael the means to leave him and the planet forever. And while Rosa may be slamming doors and whipping through rooms, barely sharing any screen time, the Ortecho-Valenti siblings are family, and Kyle and Liz will both be there for her when she’s ready. Yes, they were trying to make a ship to get home and get things safe for the alien kids, but they also made a family of their own.
Some 70 years ago, Louise and Nora were hiding out and found Mr. Arturo Ortecho isn’t Rosa’s biological father, but there’s no denying the way he mourned her, or the look on his face when he saw her alive in front of him again.
The obvious theme of this episode of Roswell is all about playing God-how Max Evans did it when he killed Noah Bracken, Isobel Evans does it when she chooses to reunite Rosa Ortecho with her father to right the wrongs from so many years ago, and you could even say how Liz and Kyle are trying to go beyond the edge of science, or the way Kyle is studying surgeons at work, who if Grey’s Anatomy is to be believed, often think of themselves as Gods.īut this episode was really about family, especially how you make a family.
