Stupid Dreams. Even The Good Ones Are Bad, Because They Remind You How Poorly Reality Measures Up.

Whatever it is that saves Alex, all I ask is that it not be some last minute science shenanigans from Liz or “savior” healing from Max.  I need it to be 100% Michael who saves him.  At this point, I don’t care how Michael does it – whether by hand print or some biotech dialysis machine Michael builds to filter the radiation out of Alex’s blood or some other equally ridiculous method. 

I JUST NEED IT TO BE MICHAEL WHO SAVES ALEX! MICHAEL NEEDS IT TO BE MICHAEL WHO SAVES ALEX!

EXPECTATIONS:

REALITY:

“He’s a lucky guy”.

(Meanwhile)

Alex:

“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”

forget about all those rap songs, ac/dc has the best ass-shaking music and u can’t tell me otherwise

Favorite Malex quotes- "You came." "You asked me to."

DOCTOR WHO (2005-) — Turn Left | 4.11

I can't believe I'm seeing people calling this season the definition of "cosmic" when we have not only had ZERO Malex interaction in 5 episodes but also had to put up with

A) Alex being in danger and reaching out to his "cosmic" boyfriend's ex, instead of reaching out to his boyfriend directly AND the "clues" all being things the audience knew nothing about until they were said in the episode, making them carry zero weight

B) Michael not showing one single iota of worry that his boyfriend hasn't called to check in in DAYS. Not a "made it to the hotel finally" text, not a "just called to say goodnight" call, not a "me after sleeping in the car last night" pic of a hunched old man, not a "found my 5th balloon! I can't wait to get home to you, I miss my 👽" text, NOTHING.

If I hear one more person try to justify this shoody writing that paints Michael in a way we KNOW isn't right by saying "it's only been a few days, he said he'd be out of range, Michael had no reason to worry", I'm gonna scream.

Spoiler alert, even aside from all those reasons being dumb, you don't need a reason to worry. Worry just HAPPENS. And for someone with abandonment issues like Michael we should be seeing him worry! Even if he thinks maybe he's overreacting so he doesn't tell anyone else he's worried, WE as the audience should be seeing his worry because that's what you do when you love someone. You worry about them.
