I'm rewatching Malex scenes cause I miss the hell out of them and I decided to share my new ranking of Top Five Malex Scenes:
V • 4.02
I love this scene because it shows growth in Michael we haven't really seen before with Alex. The trust he put in him was amazing and I just love that so much.
IV • 3x10
Oooh this SCENE. Calling him Alexander, reaffirming that they are HOME to each other. And the scene after- it was simply perfection.
III • 1x01
The scene that started my obsession with Malex, and the one that made me start watching RNM in the first place. I don't know if I've said it before but one of my favorite scenes for my ships is a forehead touch, and these two not only gave me that, but also longing, pain and somehow, peace. I will never be over it.
II • 3x03
Unfortunate beanie aside (yes I'm bitter they didn't give a better one, that actually covered his ears ffs), I still can't watch this one without tearing up. The whole scene was perfection in how Alex managed to call out Michael for his self deprecation, but also managed to finally get it through his thick skull that Alex CARES- and he cares A LOT.
Annnnnnd Finally:
I • 1x12 Prison Scene
I will NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS SCENE. The show is probably gonna end with this one at the top of this list. I remember watching it and not believing what was happening, because it was so raw and real and heartbreaking. I could write a whole essay about this scene, but I won't cause this post is long enough.
I will say this though: Alex's rescue better top the angst/heartbreak/love in this scene.

RNM, 4x01
I loved this episode.
It was a solid season premiere, way more balanced than previous episodes and it's sad to know this is the last season when it feels like RNM finally found its way.
I didn't even dislike Maria in this episode 😲 Although it seems like she is gonna be a pain about losing her powers so she can live. ��🏻♀️ Let's wait and see how the writers gonna make her deal with all of that.
Maybe last season will be it to make Maria likable again?
But anyways, I'm sad for Kyle. The guy has been working nonstop as a way to avoid Iz, obviously. 💔
I still don't know how Isobel hasn't picked up on Kyle's feelings for her. I assume eventually she will and that might give us the funniest and sweetest scenes ever.
Her and Anatsa relationship it's not very convincing.
I think Anatsa would be a great addition to the show if they had time to develop her story arc. Which I'm assuming they won't. The I love you felt rushed and I'm sure soon enough the relationship will be over and forgotten.
Although it's seems she'll stick around until episode 4. 😳🤔
Max trying to propose was ... something. I never got the wedding feelings for Echo as their happy ending. Liz always wanted to see and do. For me, a better ending for them would be living their lives out of Roswell, together.
But, as Liz said, she'll say yes when the time is right. 💞
Speaking of timing, the introduction to the new characters was so well done.
The Tezca character (I think that's her name) didn't have to say a word for us to know she's gonna be trouble. 😳
Bonnie and Clyde seem to be motivated by misguided purpose but, my guess is they gonna turn up good, eventually.
The Alighting seems like an end of time sorta deal.
Very intrigued by what it actually is. Maybe our favorite aliens will need to head back to their home planet. Maybe they'll fight like hell to protect the true home they found on Earth and its humans. 🤷🏻♀️
Speaking of aliens and humans, Malex was a highlight in this episode. 🥰🥰🥰
It couldn't possibly be any other way. Domestic-angsty, who knew would be so good?
Michael's nerves getting the best of him just points out how much he loves Alex and doesn't want to screw it up. The guy is a genius who can build very difficult things and yet, his nerves (and his low self-esteem) didn't let him fix the gazebo model.
It's a nice callback to 3x13 bunker scene where Michael is terrified that something he'll do will break him and Alex up again.
The fear of losing everything for someone that always had nothing is so understandable.
Dallas and Max calling how it was just proved Michael never intended to back down from living together, but that didn't mean his insecurities would go away. He needed to let it out.
So he talked to Dallas, he talked to Max, and, to Dallas again. But what got through to him was coming back home and talking to Alex about it.
Alex was upset. A cute upset with the crossed arms, sitting on that couch just waiting for Michael☹️
Can you imagine being so happy about moving day (Alex was so pleased to be sharing everything he has with Michael) and then coming home and not seeing the love of your life but just a key on the table?
Alex handled the situation with the skill he has mastered over a decade: loving Michael Guerin.
There was just so much love in Alex's words to Michael, in a way that reassured Guerin but also allowed Alex to be vulnerable too. 🥺💜
The growth of both of these characters. They have been through so much since 1x01 but now they are finally there. In a place that's for forever.
Rating for 4x01: 9/10. It's not a 10/10 for me because Alex Manes should have been in more scenes and the birthday party should have been longer.
