I know, I thought that was funny, too! "Oh, a nickname will come later in life." Did it EVER for Alan Michael?
I know by this time most of the show's history was forgotten or ignored, but I can't help remembering Phillip crying about how he always wanted to change his name to Alan Spaulding, Jr. when he found out Alan wasn't his biological father. (Is there anyone who really prefers being a Junior?)
I don't get why they named him after Alan in the first place, since Phillip spent about 90% of his adult life hating him, or, at the very least, mad at him.
I watched the 1996 episode that was recently uploaded. I rarely look at episodes from that era. It wasn't a great episode, but it wasn't a terrible episode, either. Alan was paralyzed for, what, like the 12th time? Let me guess: he's going to recover and not tell anyone about it. Just like he did the other 11 times, LOL.
I'm not sure which Alan Michael this was--I thought he was O.K. Maybe if I had to put up with him for more than a scene or two I would feel differently about it.
The Ross and Blake twins were just born--what a dumb storyline. But in this particular episode it was sweet, everyone happy about the twins being born.
The one part of the episode I quite enjoyed was a scene between Nola and Bridget. Bridget wanted plastic surgery because she wants to be gorgeous, and Nola was trying to talk her out of it. I wish they had leaned into this kind of thing more.
Quint shows up and it's not Michael Tylo. I knew Josh Taylor had played him briefly, but I had never seen him as Quint before. I was not impressed. He's just all wrong for the role, I'm not surprised he didn't last long. I could have accepted him as a recast Tony, but not Quint.
Then at the end Meta arrives for the first time. For some reason, they have her behave like an idiot, erroneously assuming everyone she sees is either Michelle or Rick. Not a nice thing to do to Mary Stuart. I've never understood this way of introducing characters. She could have just said, "Hi, I'm Meta, who are you?" And that would have been fine!
