Roswell 2.0 anyone? :rolleyes:

Oxygen follows a high school pilot program, the first attempt to integrate a group of humanoid aliens stranded on earth who until now have been living in forced segregation. The program is complicated by the prejudices and competing agendas on all sides, and could be saved or destroyed by a burgeoning romance between a human girl and alien boy.

90210 star Matt Lanter has claimed that his new CW series Star-Crossed is "the greatest story ever told".
The upcoming drama stars Lanter as an alien who falls in love with a human girl (Aimee Teegarden) in a future society where such relationships are forbidden.

Lanter told Just Jared that the show is a sci-fi take on Romeo and Juliet, and described it as "an epic romance".
"It's all these human issues we were going through 50 years ago with race relations and civil rights... except it's with aliens and humans," explained the 30-year-old actor.
"The government is creating a programme to desegregate the two species... so seven alien kids are put into a human high school and that's kind of where the show picks up.
"This epic romance... balloons and is meant to be - Romeo and Juliet style, basically. It's the greatest story ever told."
Star-Crossed - previously known as Oxygen - was picked up to series by The CW last week.

Sounds very like Roswell but with Matt Lanter again playing a high school student :P

A sci-fi take on Romeo and Juliet, eh?

In that case, the title is highly appropriate.

Aimee Teegarden is an awful actress.

Maybe it was just more glaring because she was surrounded by everyone else doing career best work on FNL.

Uh, Richard?

We all know how much you hate Minka Kelly - but she's kind of irrelevant to this thread...

Zach Gilford had great chemistry on FNL
