Who is this pod person and what has she done with Maria?

OK, I have just finished season 3 of Roswell. Yes, it was 15 episodes, yes I pulled an all nighter, yes, I am insane.

I have a bazillion comments I want to make, but I really must get a rant out first.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! There, now I feel a bit better.

What on earth happened to Maria? Has she been replaced by a pod person mid season without anyone noting? She went from my favorite female character on the show (yes, even more so than Liz) to someone I wanted to aim a 2x4 at. From someone who was flaky but had good heart and plenty of common sense, she turned into a completely selfish, self-absorbed twit. I am not even going to go into how she pulled away from Liz who really needed her. What really got me was the utterly thorough mind job she did on Michael.

( Warning. Rant on S3 Maria and Michael here )

ETA: I rewatched a bunch of eps and I feel much better about Michael and Maria. I think she just freaked because she realized that she was set for the rest of her life in this course and overreacted (it's kinda connected to being worried about not being able to live without him, so she wants to prove she can). And because she does feel bad and yet still is freaking she tries to ignore that she is hurting Michael because than she would feel really bad and not be able to go through with it. Basically, she is having a long major freak-out. When she realizes that she can lose him forever and have a life without him, it hits her, what she really wants and she snaps out of it. And considering she decides to give up everything in her life and come along and be with him, I think her fit is over and she's proven how she feels. Neither Michael nor she are much for verbal apologies after all, but apologize through their actions. I feel better.
