I cracked myself up when I came up with the current line in my sig.

Glad to hear you'll be back with more re-watch thoughts soon, Alexa!

Alexa

Yeah lots of different versions of my name, its kinda cool because I grew up with people going "alex is a boy name!" idiots.

205:

max with long hair = disgusting. I forgot about this episode.... LMAO! Why would future Max go to Liz? Why not go to Max? And why does she even trust this guy?

max singing to liz is so damn cheesey. YIKES.

OH Michael you typical guy, you're so irritating. I was so glad when Alex defended Maria.

Damocles

I love Max with long hair I mean he's 800x better with short hair, but so hunky with that futuristic vest

April7739

Despite being a fan of long hair in general, I was not a fan of Max with long hair.

Really?

Gosh, I should know this--correct me if I'm wrong here, but couldn't Future Max not make any contact with his present day self? Wasn't there some kind of rule against that? Or am I imagining things? (If it was a Candy scene, I'd know.)

Well, if there was never any reason given for Max not going directly to Max, then it's a major plot hole, for sure.

I think Future Max goes to Liz solely because, from a writing standpoint, it makes for the most dramatic storyline, to be honest.

Agreed.

Me, too. Don't get me wrong, I love my man Michael, but Alex was AWESOME in this episode! (Although I always get sad whenever Michael is punched, given what he endured with his foster father. )


I loooooooved Tess and Kyle in this episode, the brief "lamptrimming" interaction they had. What a missed opportunity, writers! Missed opportunity!

Alexa

it was that cheesey i think i blocked it from my memory.

definite missed opportunity with tess and kyle, though it felt a bit dropped in there to me.

April7739

I think it's partially because I've written them so much in fan fiction, but Tess and Kyle became my second favorite ship of this show.

Kyle is my 3rd favorite character, too. I loved him in this episode.

Damocles

You can never visit yourself if you come from the future, at least that's what they say in sooooo many time travel movies

You could like, mess up stuff. Same thing in Harry Potter!

April7739

Did they ever say that in the episode?

Damocles

I don't remember! I think maybe he alluded to it?? Now I have to go back and watch again.

Alexa

i dont remember that and if i were liz i woulda assumed it was just another shape shifter.

206
Decent episode. I liked all the max/liz and michael/maria interactions.

i felt so bad for max in this episode. good acting from jason there.

didnt care for the isobel stuff... but I guess it was cool to learn more about their past.


sidenote: random question, why are jason and Brendan's last names so similar?

Yeah, I always liked this episode, too. It's not one of my all-time faves, but it's pretty good.

Agreed.

I so wish we knew more. We get the most info about Isabel's past, out of all of them, but this episode brought up some interesting stuff about Michael's past, too. Like there was a group who thought he should have been king. Nicholas was the one to kill him in his past life. But we never really learn anything more about it.

Obviously I'm a Michael fan, so . . . of course I'd love to know more about him in particular.

It's a happy coincidence.

Damocles

That's the main thing I remember from back then...I was like "what's this show? Why are their names almost the same?" ha

Alexa

I remember thinking that too, funny.

It seems to happen a lot on shows. Actors with the same/similar names.

307:

Kind of an odd episode. I find myself wanting to see them back in highschool and having somewhat normal lives?

I really dont like Courtney, go away.

The MM goodbye scene/hug was really cute.

eh not a very memorable episode to me.

April7739

I always liked this episode.

Obviously as an M+M fan, I was never a huge Courtney fan. But I did admire the fact that she sacrificed herself for everyone here.

Yes, that M+M scene was cute. I'm a sucker for hugs and they had two cute ones in this episode.

I never understood the ending. Was that really Nicholas who Max and Tess saw in the park?
