What/who are the Stargazers?
Stargazers refers, firstly, to the characters Alex Whitman (Alex Manes in the Roswell High books) and Isabel Evans from the TV show Roswell. It also is used to as the name of the fans who like them together as a coupe as well.
Where did the name Stargazer come from?
In early 2000 on the Alex/Isabel appreciation thread, on the Fanforum message boards for Roswell, names were thought up for them as a couple,to use as the shipper group name, and Stargazer was selected as this name. It refers to the episode Into The Woods, where Alex and Isabel were Stargazing while on a school camping trip.
When was the first Stargazer moment on the TV show Roswell?
In the pilot episode of Roswell there was a brief scene where Isabel was walking along with Maria at the Crash Festival,and Alex was walking past them in the opposite direction. Isabel made a comment on Alex's mask he was wearing as they passed each other (most people there were dressed in an alien theme), and Alex ran back to Isabel. Obviously excited that Isabel had said something to him,and showing that he was attracted to her, all he could come up with was "Nice Cones"! (Referring to part of Isabel's alien girl outfit!). Alex may love her,but he still can be too in awe of her to make rational comments! And Isabel definitly thought his comment was cute as she walked off with a cute smile. Although at this time Isabel wasn't actually attracted to him (or at least didn't realise it! ;) ). |
