The Balance In the episode �The Balance�, Michael gets sick after he attends a Native American sweat ceremony. When Michael's balance is disrupted he first collaspes, then his eyes turn white. He starts running a really high fever (112+) and goes into a sort of coma, where he has visions. Then his whole body is covered with a substance that resembles webbing. He had to be healed by the healing stones or he would die we presume. Having nowhere else to turn, Max and Liz go to see River Dog to get help for Michael. River Dog explaines that Nasedo also got sick in the same way, and told River Dog his secret so he could heal him. This is what River Dog says that Nasedo told him. �Wherever you are from. He said that his body carried the same energy that's in these stones. He called it the balance. He said that the heat from the sweat disrupted it in some way.� |
�He told me to hold the stones until my energy activated them, and the balance would be restored. Healing requires energy. The more we have, the faster we heal."
�He warned me, though, there was a risk. The balance can pull you in. It's a force that can change both your body and your mind unless you navigate it properly." "Now everyone take your place in the circle. There's a line for each of you leading to the center.� Michael is placed in the center of the circle. River Dog gives a stone to each of the group to hold. He gives them a bowl to drink water from. "Now, clear your mind...and drink from the bowl. By drinking from the same bowl, we begin the connection. Don't change the way you feel about your friend, and you'll come out on the right side.� Liz is scared for Max and River Dog sees this and tells her, "You're afraid...not of the healing. Your fear runs deeper. You fear for someone else, someone you care for a great deal. Take a step back. You cannot stop the flow." River Dog starts chanting and the others join in. They are taken into Michael's vision where they see him. And somehow Liz is there too even though she didn't drink or chant. They hug Micahel and are able to pull him out of his coma, restoring his balance. How much of this ceremony is from Max's planet and how much was native American is up for debate. The symbol on the ground and drinking the water from the bowl seem to be native American, since they were drinking from a similar bowl in the sweat ceremony, and that symbol is often seen in native American art, but we are never told for certain. In the episode 'A Roswell Christmas Carol' Max is haunted by the ghost of a man who died in front of him. The ghost blames Max for not saving him, and says Max can't get rid of him until he restores the balance. Perhaps Max was haunted because his balance was out of alignment, or perhaps the ghost was refering to a different type of balance, like the balance of the universe. In any case, once Max heals the children with cancer, the ghost is satisified and leaves Max. But we were also left with many questions. - Is heat the only thing that can upset the balance? - How does the webbing fit in? - Would Michael have died or stayed in a comma? - Is there anything else that can set the balace right besides the healing stones? - How is human energy able to help the balance an alien? - The balance can change your body and mind. Does that mean it can physically alter you? Like give you an extra head or change your appearance or something? Or is it more like the collective consciousness in the books? - The balance can pull you in if you don't navigate it correctly. What does that mean? Will you be trapped in that comma with Michael or go into a comma of your own or something else entirely? |

Connect/Connection In the Pilot, when Max heals Liz, he forms a connection with her mind and sees images and feels her feelings. Max mentions connecting with people, as one of the powers the aliens have. In later episodes we see that Michael and Isabel can both do it too. It seems kissing is the easiest way to form a connection, but Max can also form a connection by healing, and by a simple touch. Max is also able to touch Liz and form a reverse connection, so she can see into his mind. The aliens can block the connection so the people they are kissing can't see into their minds. In the episode 'Departure', Michael admits to Maria that he has been blocking her, but he is ready to let her see him. Although it is never specifically spelled out in the show, in the episode Max in the City, it appears that Liz uses her connection with Max to reach out to New York in order save him. |

Green Rod (aka. The Greenis) We are never given an official name for the green rod. The fans on the internet nicknamed it the Greenis, because of the position where it sticks out on the alien. In the episode 'Wipeout', the Skins put it in the UFO Center billboard located at Chaparell turnout. They use it to create a green haze over Roswell that makes all the humans disappear, so they can find the aliens easily. Courtney explains it. Time exists in multiple subset dimensions on our planet. Nicholas must have a technology to impose one or more of these here. It's like being on Pacific and Eastern and Central and Mountain time all at once. Human bodies can't function. They simply disappear. Another dimension, another plane of existence. I don't know where. They seem to have just...shifted. Liz figures out that it is an electrical field and Kyle and Maria figure out they need to overload it. They use her car battery and jumper cables to destory it. It explodes and all of the humans who disappeared, come back, with no memory of being gone. |

There's a line for each of you leading to the center.� �Nasedo gave me these stones. They're from his place. And they carry an energy inside them.� �He said that his body carried the same energy that's in these stones. He called it the balance. He told me to hold the stones until my energy activated them. And the balance would be restored.� �He warned me, though, there was a risk. The balance can pull you in. It's a force that can change both your body and your mind unless you navigate it properly. Now, clear your mind...and drink from the bowl. Don't change the way you feel about your friend, and you'll come out on the right side.� The stones also fit in the cave painting map on the wall where Nasedo lived. They make a 'V' shape that gives a clue on how to read the map. The 'V' shape refers to the constellation Ares and the planet Venus in the sky at a certain time of year. Using the constellation, you can plot the symbols on the map to line up with places on Earth. |

Liz' Journal Liz's Journal Entires Liz began to keep a journal or diary after Max healed her. She knows it is foolish to write it all down, but here are her own words explaining to Max why she started it. What I wrote in my journal, it didn't really have anything to do with science. "That day that you saved me, I felt something that I just had to put into words, so years from now, if anyone ever, if anyone ever touches me the way that you did, I'll know what it's supposed to feel like. In the episode Missing Liz's journal is taken. Luckily it turned out to be Michael who had it. Liz tells him he should destroy it because anyone reading it will learn all about him, Max and Isabel. Michael says, no, they would learn about you. After that, Liz keeps the journal hidden behind a loose brick in her room. |

Map
More info & pics This is the painting on the wall of Nasedo's cave that has alien symbols and language. It is first seen in the episode 'River Dog'. RD was instructed to show it only to those who passed a test. He showed it to Max after he passed the test of using his alien powers to create a light. RD says that the visitor drew the cave painting, but he never told RD what it meant. Max asks if anyone else has come to see it, but RD tells him no. In the episode 'The Balance', Michael sees the painting for the first time and realizes it is a map, and the healing stones fit into it, making the 'V'-formation. In 'Blind Date', Michael figures out that one of the symbols on the map leads to the Roswell Library. He and Isabel go to the library and burn an alien symbol into the grass as a message to Nasedo. Nasedo doesn't reveal himself to them, but Michael was correct about the location. Later Tess takes the 'destiny book' out of the wall of the library, that has the symbol on the cover that is on the map. |

I follow him in the political sense." "We're not with the other skins. We're renegades who believe that if you (Michael) were in charge instead of Max in the first place, that none of this would have ever happened." "The short version, is that our planet was on the brink of a golden age, and then it all fell apart. You were the one who could have united our planet, pulled together the warring factions, brought peace. But you weren't on the throne." "You wouldn't betray him. That loyalty cost your lives and those of everyone you loved. Please, just don't let history repeat itself. You're the one we need. You're our leader, our salvation." |

They are called shapeshifters because they can take on any human form, and in the episode 'Max to the Max' Ed Harding blends into a rock wall. But they can only change their outward appearance, not what is inside. At least some of the shapeshifters were meant to be protectors of the pod squad.

We don't know if all of the beings on the ship were shapeshifters, or if there were other aliens on Earth that Pierce didn't know about.

The Summit In the episode 'Meet the Dupes', the dupes are invited to an intergalactic summit to end the fighting in their solar system. Zan, the king, refused to attend, because he believed it was a trap, so his sister Lonnie and his second in command, Rath, kill him, and go to Roswell to convince Max to attend in Zan's place. The summit takes place in the episode, 'Max in the City.' The heads of the five planets in the aliens' system are invited. Sero, Hanar, Kathana, Larek, each representing their worlds. Nicholas speaks for Khivar who is representing Antar as the current ruler, and the royal four are invited as the formed rulers. It is revealed at the summit that there has been war in the aliens' system for years. Hanar says, "We're here to end 50 years of misery and suffering among our worlds. Kathana attacks Kivar. Kivar attacks Sero. Sero attacks me. The situation is intolerable!" Nicholas delivers Khivar's message. "And Kivar has a solution. Kivar will abdicate the throne and allow the royal four to return home under the following conditions: One, Max becomes king only in name. All real power and government remains in Kivar's hands, two, Max calls upon his followers to lay down their weapons and support the new government, and three, most importantly, Max returns the granilith to us." Max refuses to give up the granolith, and Nicholas speaking for Khivar withdraws the offer. Kathana tells Max that he made a lot of enemies, and even Larek is disappointed that Max did the wrong thing. Of course the summit was a trap. If Max had accepted the deal, he would have been excuted when he returned to his planet. Also Nicholas made a deal with Lonnie to kill Max if he refused the deal. |

Trithium Amplification Generator Alien artifact first seen in the episode 'Ask Not', in the possession of Brody. The device activates when Michael gets near, throwing him across the room. But when Max finds it later, it does nothing to him. Perhaps it was turned on when Michael was near, but off when Max saw it? Or perhaps there is something about Max or Michael that makes it react. Later in the episode, Brody tells Max about it. "That I bought, I dunno, three years ago from some guy who deals in supposed alien artifacts. I thought it was a piece of junk, and then on May 14th, that thing just came to life. It sent out this pulse. So I hired a team, had them check the entire radio telescope network for anything unusual, and they found something." "A signal, Max. A strange high-energy microwave signal that corresponded exactly with what I saw. And you know where this signal came from? Roswell." On that 'evidence' Brody moved to Roswell and bought the UFO Center. We also see that aliens have recieved the signal, but somehow they are not able to track it. Only Courtney is able to find the podsquad in Roswell. How that is, we are never told. In the episode 'Off the Menu', Brody accesses Larek's memory, and remembers what the device is called. He also remember how to use it. The amplifier has eight alien symbols on it's face, placed in six different groupings, so likely it can do five or six different functions. We do know some of these from the show. 1. It can block alien powers (OTM) 2. It can track or at least register the signal emitted by the Royal 4's communication orbs. (D) 3. It seemed to detect Michael's prescence and tossed him across the room (AN) (although, this could have been another instance of blocking powers, because it knocked Tess and Max back when it blocked their powers) 4. and it must have an 'Off' position So that leaves a few functions that were never explained. It is also unclear what the range of the device is. In 'OTM' Brody uses it to block Max and Tess' powers in the UFO Center. Michael is able to use his powers outside the building to unlock the door, but once he is inside and coming down the stairs, his powers don't work. |
