ALEX MANES

Roswell, New Mexico | 3.07 "Goodnight Elizabeth"

[skrtl]

OK we know (and love) how everyone knows Alex and Michael love each other. Deeply and cosmically. It’s just not the only canon Malex I want to see this season, thank you.

[eg515]

"I picked you because I know you fell in love with an alien." so this season is gonna be everyone and their grandma telling malex how obviously in love they are? because sign me up for that 👀

Based on RNM 3x07. Title from "cardigan" by TSwift (and YES, I couldn't resist this chapter title, “Leavin’ Like A Father,” given what happens in this chapter!!!) Liz enacts a plan to take down Jones, who is masquerading as Michael. Alex learns new information after seemingly being kidnapped. Max, Isobel and Rosa try to track down Jones' sword. New revelations shake the group when their plan falls apart.

Differences from canon: Max has is own, official police scanner to hear about the attack on the astronomer's car and conclude Jones has the sword. Since Alex and Max are a couple, Liz asks Max about his boyfriend. Max, as a cop, can put out an APB out on Michael himself, but Isobel can still influence the cops to contact her first. Max gave Alex 24 hours to investigate on his own, but he's still worried (because Alex got kidnapped by Eduardo). It's his worry that turns into a frustrated dismissal of Rosa, who asks to help in Max's living room (instead of the junkyard). He trains Rosa in his house. Alex texts Max that he's safe once the latter finds the sword. Jones, pretending to be Michael, brings Liz back to the trailer. The confrontation with Jones, therefore, happens in the desert lands beyond the ranch that the trailer is parked on. Max is able to cover for them when his fellow cops show up.

Wooo, we’ve got a lot to unpack here and I’ve got a busy morning ahead of me, so let’s get started. I even have gifs this time! I loved this episode, and I already know this is going to be a long one, so grab a snack, some coffee, and let’s talk about 3x07.

Liz. Because she’s the protagonist I find it fitting to start with her, so. I loved Liz this episode. I didn’t dare skip anyone’s scenes as I’d been prone to doing for the past two seasons. I thought she was very smart, very brave, and when Jones told her that her death would be what saved him in the end, the tears in her eyes as she held that gun to Max - it was amazing. We all knew she wouldn’t hurt Max because she loved him, and you could really see on her face how badly it hurt her to hold a weapon against him at all. Well done, Jeanine, truly.

I can see now why people are shipping Isobel and Rosa. That said, I do still think they’re cuter with other people, but I like the connection between them, it’s very endearing.

Gregory’s very cute, I like his crush. I hope Maria can appreciate and care about him like he deserves.

I liked Michael and Rosa pairing up, then Isobel joining them. I couldn’t stop laughing when Michael just started hitting that car part with the screwdriver again and again, even when he saw what it was doing to Rosa’s head. I just - he’s so cute, he’s so funny. It always hits me hard how badly I’d missed my Michael Guerin, you know? It’s good to have him back.

Jones. Listen. I still don’t care, Jones is so freaking hot. Nathan Dean is really just knocking it out of the park each and every episode, I often forget that Max and Jones are played by the same person, I’m just loving him.

I did not see any of those twists coming at all. I didn’t see Jones being the Dictator, being Michael’s father?! When Michael was able to grab that sword, I thought, Oh my god, is he Jones’ biological brother?? But nope. His son. Guys. This means Michael has inherited all of Jones’ powers. So he has all of Max’s powers. That means the handprint. The multitude of fics I had planned the moment these twists came into play. You’re not ready.

One twist, which is not really a twist, that I had seen coming was that Eduardo Ramos was not the bad guy. I’ve mentioned it several times since the episode last week, but I knew there was more to it, I knew he wasn’t just a traitor, and I’m so glad I was right because I loved him and Alex together this episode.

Y’all. Is it just me, or does Ramos talk to Alex, not like another agent, but like he’s his freaking son? And I’m living for it. He’s just so fond of him and in awe of him all the time, I -

Listen. When Ramos tells Alex that he managed in a day what others couldn’t manage in months? I am dying for this acknowledgment of Alex’s genius this season!

And Alex! Oh. My. Gods. Don’t get me started. But I will anyway.

When he got angry at Ramos, I teared up. You could just feel his betrayal, the way he and Ramos both saw each other as something more. It’s like they can’t help but treat each other like family, and it made my heart swell.

Speaking of Alex’s anger, I’m sorry to be such a Marvel dork, but did his conversation with Ramos remind anybody of someone else?

Namely...

Or...

Every single thing Alex Manes says reminds me of Captain America in some way. Could he be any more of a freaking Avenger?!

Marvel. Listen. Stop wasting time and buy the rights to Alex Manes, bring him to the MCU, where he belongs. Bring Michael Guerin along. Do it, bring them home. I’ll come design a whole storyline for them. I’ve already got one. You’re in good hands, I promise you.

Also, to end the post, that brief kylex moment? Moved me to tears, I love their friendship so much.

I loved it. This episode was amazing. I can’t wait for the malex moments in the episodes to come, and I cannot emphasize how much I love the fact that every plotline in this show comes back to the Lockhart Machine. So it all ties back to Alex. Again with the Marvel dorkiness, but it feels like whenever I watch one of the individual Marvel movies, and Steve or Tony would get mentioned. You know that there’s always one storyline that connects all the others. And that’s Alex’s.

I can’t wait. Heather did an amazing job. What a real alien blast.

JEANINE MASON as LIZ ORTECHO ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO | 3.07

[megapandas]

The thing I can't shake from 3x07 is that they had ALEX reference 2x06 just before another character references his love for Michael in an episode directed by HEATHER 😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬

OK, last comment but -

What’s the point in Michael having The Dictator as his father if we won’t have him wearing his emotions on his sleeve while telling Alex and then they finally, finally seek comfort in each other?
