Some more Roswell thoughts.

Yeah, am still obsessed :)

I realized that Max fixates on Liz so (other than for plot reasons and soulmatery of course :))because he never had anyone other than Michael and Isabel in his life before. And they are family, and family loves you no matter what. He could never really talk and interact with anyone else in the way he wanted (not even his parents) and now there's Liz who knows what he is and loves him anyway. The guy is really lonely, if you think about it. He is not so withdrawn by choice. And other than that, people like Maria and Alex are first Liz's friends and then his.

I think part of it is that Max was looking to connect with someone. Michael wasn't really. He was willing to close down on himself and soldier on. Max is a softer touch and really wanted to fit in with humans and make friends. He also feels that he's responsible for Michael and Isabel, which means keeping their secret safe, which means not being able to interact with humans as he'd probably like.

He does tell Tess in that S2 ep where he sleeps with her (argh, my eyes!) that he was always ashamed of his alienness and wanted to hide it and just be human (I think he refers to himself as a freak). So yeah, it must have been taking a toll...
