From the WB website...

Max In The City - All New!
Feeling betrayed by Isabel, Max leaves Roswell to attend the interstellar summit in New York City. But the duplicate versions of Michael and Isabel that he's with have a very different agenda in mind for the future king.

k, I have calmed down a bit but I will still have to rewatch this episode to put pen to paper so to speak.

a few thoughts I found voice for on another board:
I think they killed Tess.
That whole deal with him finding her was just fishy. Plus punkabel said she was going to kill him. I don't like that at all. I was really starting to like Tess's character. I honestly have to watch the whole thing over again before I can even be coherent on it. I have pretty much liked roswell this season, I didn't mind the direction they were going with it at all. I don't want them to have killed Tess.
grrr

was on my way here but got sidetracked . I liked the ep. It wasn't fantastic or anything but at least its a consistent storyline and seems to be going somewhere.
Tess- either dead or under control. Has to be one or the other. I don't hate tess just don't want her to be with Max.

and yes I have to say too, DAMN that boy is very nice to look at. Oops I have to go dry off my keyboard.

Max has finally gotten some spunk and seems to be getting clued in to whats going on. About time.

I agree with you stillwater on the point that he is showing great leadership qualities.
I REALLY like the fact that Liz is 'changed' and not part alien like that spoiler said. Changed is believable. Was anyone else stomping the ground when she didn't tell him the truth at the end? Dammit, i just wanted him to grab her and kiss her silly.

I am really upset over the tess issue. I didn't want Tess with Max, but I agree with Deah 100% when she said that the Roswell writers wrote her in a bad position, they need to FIX it and not just do away with her.
I didn't like the fact that we didn't see anymore of her after they returned to Roswell. They should have at least shown her sick or lying in bed, something.
The whold set up with him finding her was just wrong. He should have seen that too. Why would they have left her alive and not waited to ambush him? If that even is Tess. Geesh that made me so mad last night I couldn't see straight.

I liked the fact that Liz and Alt Tess got along well. That really tickled me and I was hoping maybe they would let Ava hang around for a few episodes, just to fill the gang in on what information she has if nothing else. Plus it would be some redemption for EdR to get to play two roles on the show.
Anyways, overall the episode was not too bad. I won't say myfave, cause last week hit that note, but there were some pleasant things about this ep and some that I really really abhorred.

also, I like goofy puppet Brody. I kinda like him just at Brody too. I have a thing for funny guys

Ahhhhhhh, it feels good to be on a board where I don't feel outnumbered or ignored

I rewatched the episode tonight. I totally agree that Max is showing a stronger leadership role now. He's evaluating all the angles and making an educated decision. The granolith was entrusted to him- I liked that line.

I'm ready for Max to kiss Liz silly myself. I want to make him stare at the same footage we see...Liz cringing every time she lies. He might get with the program then

Brody is priceless

I was miffed at first about Milton but I'm liking Brody just as much now.

I liked the episode. I would've liked it better if they had've cut the Lonnie/Rath tongue wrestling scene. And if Rath meet with a terrible accident.

There are two things pending that will cause me to really be ticked. The Tess thing. As poe mentioned. And speculation Michael & Maria will not be together again. If the writers really want to offend a lot of people then that would be the way to do it.
