iariaI Don't Want to Miss a Thing
+ The confirmation that Isobel was possessed, that there was no Isobel/Rosa friendship or romance, that Rosa didn't love her back... :( That's just really not what I wanted from that storyline. I wanted bisexual alien blast. I wanted that Isobel to be real. Boo.
+ I was disappointed Michael wasn't there when they took Isobel from the pod.
+ The Michael/Isobel reunion hug and subsequent scene were wonderful. I love how well they know each other and how open they are with each other. I wish that instead of returning home Isobel had stayed with Michael, especially considering how her leaving had no significance.
+ I love that Michael stole a vial of the antidote. Great little detail, perfectly Michael. Also love that Isobel knew he would have done that.
+ "I was just... I was really relieved. They had an easier time..." - Michael. Oh, Michael. I really want the show to explore this more. What was it like for the three of them to find each other again, for Michael to see the life they got compared to his own.
+ The first Max/Isobel scene was so great. I loved how happy they were! Isobel notes it and attributes it to Liz, and while definitely a lot of it is her, in that scene I'm pretty sure it was mostly about having Isobel back and safe. I loved Isobel teasing him. Also the way Max and Isobel get caught up staring into each other's eyes and Liz excused herself.
+ A bit disappointed that there weren't any after-effects from the antidote/being podded for six weeks other than returning memories.
+ Isobel/Noah were really cute. I loved how supportive he was of her.
+ "Sometimes I literally want to fuse my skin into your skin", wow, that was a lot more feeling from Isobel than I've honestly been seeing this season. That seems almost creepy devoted Max/Liz level. Huh.
+ I loved Isobel's "I would never choose that sweater" defence against having influenced Noah, heh.
+ I liked that Noah actually did freak out at learning the truth because everyone has taken the aliens truth way too well. That said he was suspiciously calm last episode when he found Isobel in the pod and then calmly called the sheriff off so I'm not sure about that change.
+ Does Maria have some actual psychic ability?
+ I liked the Alex/Maria scene and how that played out. Alex going to Maria and being honest about his feelings and Maria not wanting to hurt Alex, making sure he knew that she hadn't known and immediately backing off was a nice friendship moment. I even liked Maria's wistfulness about it later.
