What would she name the stuffed alien moose Alex got her?

Sternbetrachter

Moosey?

Anla

I don't know. I can see her refusing to admit to naming it, acting too mature for such things as stuffed animals, but placing it in a spot of honor in her room. Because deep down, she'd love it.

Sternbetrachter

and Alex would (secretely, since he's over Isabel) daydream about her cuddling with the moose every night in her bed and thinking about him

Moosey Very nice name!

Yeah he would most definitely think about that

Sternbetrachter

hey, are you laughing about the name I have for my alien-moose?

and the good thing is, thanks to the first few scenes of CYN, we can easily picture Alex lying on his bed, picturing Isabel lying on her bed thinking about him

I'm laughing with you, not at you

Yeah, that was probably the only good part about that episode.. I mean, it was a good episode, but so tragic (as you know), so..

Sternbetrachter

yeah rrrright

that was the only funny part about the episode at least ... I was laughing/grinning a lot about/with Alex at first

Anla

Hey, don't offend Moosey's alien moose dignity.

Rewatched We are Family yesterday (due to technical difficulties, I couldn't watch the first ep of the HC on DVD, so went straight to that one). Alex was back. Maria and Liz were so happy to see him again (as was I ). Loved his response to seeing Sean DeLuca, and Sean's little "Alice" comment, just stating that he hadn't heard that since Sean was put away and then proceeding to ignore Sean and go about his business. Very cool.

Edited to correct the episode title.

Sternbetrachter

it was very sweet to see the three musketeers reunite even though I always wondered why they first met up in school and not at the house of one of the three
the Sean/Alice ... eh, Alex interaction was fun

life_style

Yeah he certainly played that cool He often did, when people were bugging him. You know, he was fine with being a nerd and totally proud of it, in ways

Sternbetrachter

that's true ... not sure if that's a very common reaction to being labeled as "nerd"?

Anla

Geek, wasn't it? "We are high school geeks, and we like it that way!"

As to why the three had their reunion at school: Maybe Alex's flight either just got in or got in so very late the night before that they didn't have time to meet up prior to that? (Although if that was the case, you'd think he'd want to take the day off and rest. But maybe he just loves school that much ) Because if Alex had been back longer, I'd think he would have already heard about the sheriff getting suspended, but it was a shock to him when Maria and Liz told him.

Sternbetrachter

I also thought Alex might have come home really late but like you said, why would he have gone to school the next day? ... no wait ... didn't he say something about the flight being delayed or so?

Anla

Yeah, I think so. He said it was a mess, and said it in Swedish, too, didn't he?
