i am so in love with you it’s embarrassing

Blaming Michael for not knowing Alex was in the pocket dimenson is the same as blaming Alex for not knowing that Michael wanted to start over at the beginning of season 3. It’s such a strange expectation. Michael obviously called Alex, but Alex said he would be busy, he got no word from Deep Sky that Alex wasn’t where he was supposed to be, so how would he know Alex was missing? The entirety of season 4 was showing us how in love with Alex, Michael is. Also let’s not pretend that the writing wasn’t having difficulty in trying to come up with reasons as to why Alex would be gone for so long and not have people even mention him. The writing was a little careless and certainly clumsy with this storyline, but pretending it was just Michael being like “out of sight, out of mind” with Alex… it’s just so incorrect. Michael was in two states of mind the entire season.. one state was finally being with Alex and loving him, and the other state was having hope he may actually see his home planet.
