Ron Moore Talks More ROSWELL

ROSWELL co-executive producer Ronald D. Moore has been talking about the coming second episode of the series.

While talking to CINESCAPE's Anna L. Kaplan, Moore gave info on the second episode, title "Michael, the Guys, and the Great Snapple Caper," which will be a comedy.

Moore says... well, what he says could be considered a spoiler of sorts. If you would rather Not know what happens, then move along to another story by using one of the story links at the bottom of the page.

Still there?

You were warned.

As the title suggests, much of the episode will focus on Michael (Brendan Fehr). Moore reveals what's up, saying, "Michael looks around and realizes that he's stuck here. He's the one that always assumed he was going to be leaving, and never really bothered much with convention or trying to do anything with his life on Earth. Suddenly he ain't going home, and decides, 'I have to get my act together.' He's about to flunk out of high school. He's got this apartment, and he can't pay the bills. So he decides to take on a second job and start taking more responsibility in his life. He takes a job as a night watchman. The second episode is basically played for laughs. It's Michael working as a night watchman at this place, bonding with the guys, and starting to screw around with them, and hanging out."

The episode will also touch upon ex-sheriff Jim Valenti (William Sadler) and his son, Kyle (Nick Wechsler). Moore says, "After Valenti lost his job as sheriff, he hasn't gotten a new job yet. He's been sitting on the couch sleeping and watching TV all day. Kyle has had to go out and get a job. You see that Kyle is now the parent, and Valenti is now the son. That's also in the second episode. Kyle is getting sick of it, having trouble paying the bills, and telling dad to get off his ass and do something with his life."
