Party like it's 1999.

So I've gotten in the habit of watching TV while I cook, do dishes, or do other household stuff that happens mainly in one room and doesn't require my full attention 100% of the time. This means that I end up randomly surfing whatever's on Hulu when I run out of new stuff to watch. Tonight, inspired by TWoP's ode to dead sci fi shows, it's Roswell.

Now, my best friend in high school was pretty into it, but I don't think I ever saw a full episode. As a snapshot of recent pop culture history, though, it's amazing. The music: Dave Matthews, Dido, and Sarah McLachlan in 42 minutes? Amazing. The fashion: the non-low-slung pants! Maria sporting 1990's bicurious template haircuts #1 and #2! Dear god, Katherine Heigl's hilariously bad padded bras! (And don't even get me started on the cast: two episodes in, and we've got one degree of separation from TSCC, Band of Brothers, Bones, Buffy, Angel, Supernatural, the West frickin' Wing, and that one show with all the doctors on it. No, not that one, the other one. Not to mention, oh, John Doe.)

This is like late adolescence in a time capsule I never knew anyone had buried for me.

Also, I love Maria. Is there femmeslash?
