my mind has been going a million miles a minute since that episode. it was so good! i swear all i need to be fed some good malex scenes, less overt pop culture references, and i’m a happy camper. but of course, this meant i went into full speculation mode regarding what’s happening to alex...

the liminal space or “pocket dimension” is an interesting concept. but what i think we may actually be looking at right now, is some form of alex’s mindscape.

alex has spent his entire life in survival mode. first with jesse, then in the air force. and this liminal space reflects that. when we see him, he’s in survival mode yet again - this time from an unknown element causing his death. he assumes radiation because chemical warfare would match up with his military background and upbringing.

why the 1940′s? given this is the only instance of the liminal space we’ve seen, it might be because that’s when it all went wrong in alex’s mind. that’s when the ship crashed, that’s when his ancestors began their targeted genocide of the aliens. 

(could this also be indicative of theo’s hand, where the setting of the liminal space for anyone would be the same? it’s possible. when alex fell through, the “open” symbole illuminated on michael’s console. perhaps the liminal space only takes the shape of the mindscape of the first person dropped into it? perhaps that’s why nora and louise locked jones up - to make him the first one to use it?)

alex sets up the faraday cage trap at the drive-in. this is another method of his survival - gain the upper hand on anyone who may be dangerous. 

all of alex’s scenes take place at the drive-in. and in alex’s mind, his first date with michael was back in 1x03 at the drive-in. to alex, we learn, it didn’t matter that it ended poorly, he still has fond memories of it, and it holds special importance to him. 

one of the first things dallas asks about is the fruit, to which alex answers that he’s seen a grove of weird looking trees. it’s only after this that bonnie and dallas return later saying the grove has been burned down. this is information that had he known about, alex surely would have provided. 

alex mentions is that he’s noticed a drop in barometric pressure - something he’d also referred to in 4x01 right before the st. elmo’s fire happened. the presence of an electric magnetic storm is “new” he says, but it’s not the first time we’ve heard about one on the show - in 1x12 alex mentioned it outside caulfield.

the fractals on his chest appear similiar to the ones that appeared on liz’s arm in 4x09 while she was in her mindscape and under the influence of the mist. liz’s mindscape adventure was for her to try and work through her internal conflict regarding the science and max, and whether max was holding her back. in alex’s case, he’s faced with michael’s ongoing decision - stay on earth with him and give up seeing the planet he’s been looking for, or travel back to oasis and the home he’s been searching for since he first crawled out of the pod. the alex we’re seeing in the liminal space right now is seemingly making the decision for michael - alex gets the shred of happiness he believes he’s allowed, and he’s also freeing michael from having to make that choice.

so why would tezca need to throw alex into the pocket dimension as a contingency plan? well in 4x11 we learn that anyone with the triad symbol can’t make the jump to oasis through the portal. it’s entirely possible that jones found out not only about max’s tattoo but michael’s as well. so when jones found out about alex (”there is someone you care about as much as nora”), he realized if he was going to try and use liz to bypass theo’s lock, there needed to be stakes. trapping michael in the pocket dimension knowing he would go after alex means that liz will be unable to say no any longer.

and lastly, sometimes this show still gets music right. the lyrics playing at the end of the scene where alex begs michael to let dallas marry them? “it’s all in your head”

Words cannot express how much I want (if they kill Alex temporarily) a scene where when Michael sees this and he just full on breaks down over his body and like his powers go CRAZY like I’m talking give me a season one type storm or a damn downpour give me telekinesis pushing and destroying everything and cracking the very earth give me a fucking fire I wanna see it soooo bad

This trope is absolute perfection and I live for the angst im not gonna lie

So, if Bonnie was in charge of Eduardo, that means that Tezca might've put Clyde in charge of Alex?

I mean, considering Alex isn't dead or wrapped unconsciously in a cocoon of quicksand, buried deep in the desert.

I'm so here for Michael to find out that they quicksanded his boyfriend while they were luring him with tales of home.

I love you, Guerin, but I need to see you go ballistic on them and on yourself too.

so it sounds like alex was thrown in so michael would go in after and it would crumble?

#maybe the explanation for alex’s role???? #malex #rnm speculation

[itsjustmouse]

Next episode theory.

When Michael opens the ‘portal’, Alex is there but neither can get through. They hold their hands up to each other’s at the threshold. This will be the cliffhanger.

Then in the next episode, they find out that the only way to free Alex/break down the barrier is to bring about the Alighting.

That’s why in the episode synopsis it says Michael fears that he’ll never get Alex back.

Hindsight is always 20-20 but when you’re in the moment, you go with the information you have.

I’ve seen a ton on this hellscape platform about how RNM could have handled TB’s absence better. But.. what if they didn’t know how much he would be able to film? What if... it was an episode to episode decision from Tyler about what he could handle healthwise since he got his surgery AFTER they finished filming? From 4x03 through 4x07 we all could see spaces where the gang could discover that Alex was being held in quicksand and maybe that was a deliberate choice by the writers and showrunner.

Anyway I’m working on a long WIP, that had a very general “here’s where we end” outline but as I write, other stuff starts to occur to me, so I add it in, I make room. I just feel like RNM season 4 plots did the same thing, they left room for Alex, but ultimately couldn’t reintroduce him to the story until the actor gave them a go-ahead. Script drafts become shooting drafts sometimes right up to the 11th hour. 

We’ve all see how much can change from a script draft to a shooting draft, look at the pilot of RNM - they had Michael as a foster brother to Alex ffs.

Anyway that’s my .02 on season 4. YMMV.

what happens when alex is dead/dying and michael remembers “what i can’t live without is you so why don’t you put your hand in mine and we’ll start with that” and that’s what gives him the idea to do the handprint WHAT THEN

#malex #i need to go to bed bc i have to catch a flight in the morning but i’ve been thinking about this all night and needed to share #rnm speculation

[dr-lizortecho]

okay, so based off the whole Dallas having visions thing (and how Maria’s are tied into her family bloodline) I’m thinking it really is going to be revealed that somehow he’s related to Isobel and Maria, probably through Patricia

I mean this promo definitely looks like they’re going through a vision together, specifically finding Mimi’s wedding which is important and might even solidify the connection to the Valenti’s (hence Maria’s visions about Kyle) so I’m thinking cousins of some variety? because Theo statistically couldn’t have romanced Patricia, but maybe Dallas had an aunt or uncle aboard one of the ships? maybe even another alien that Isobel runs into in Careyes?

look, Eduardo/Mimi is canon to me, and I’m fairly certain Dallas is supposed to be somehow tied to Maria’s family tree, unless they retcon how the visions work

wait the poster said "the cycle renews and the storm awakens" and maybe that was not referring to the storm in 4x01...maybe its the one in the pocket dimension

I absolutely love your theory on them being trapped in Alex's mindscape. I hope it's true! The lyric it's all in your head being a clue, that is clever. That means is Alex's body somewhere in a coma? Maria was in the hospital in a coma when she was in a mindscape. Liz was at Deep Sky in a coma when she was in her mindscape. Also it was said many times that they can't lie in mindscapes either, so that is interesting for the Michael and Alex scenes.

Yes and no.

So I think they're all real. But the landscape is a mindscape. So like, I think once Michael gets Alex to accept that he doesn't have to remove himself in order for Michael to be happy, that he's allowed to want more than just this little scrap of happiness - I think the fractals will disappear. Because the dilemma is that Alex doesn't want to be standing in the way of Michael's true happiness (and this is a call back to 2x04 when Alex gave Michael the console piece he'd found in the cabin), which is seeing Oasis.

Michael, as we saw in 3x01 has learned how to manipulate the mindscape (when Max asked about the cage for Jones, Michael was able to deflect which Isobel called him out on), and Alex as we saw in both the latter part of S3 and in 4x01 and 4x02, hasn't really been holding back in speaking his mind to Michael anymore. So everything he's saying is the truth, and he wouldn't realize he can't lie because he WANTS to be completely honest and open with Michael.

Can the “former adversary” please be flint I wanna be at least half right that he helps get Alex back cos ya know ex-alien hunter here is some evil aliens keeping your brother? And unhinged Michael working with him while flint gets his redemption arc would be so iconic.

My best guess is Michael will get his powers back when he gets angry or heartbroken enough to trigger his abilities again.

Bonnie's power is reacting differently in Michael.

She didn't just take away his powers. She got him sick. And according to Bonnie herself "that never happened before".

when the lead in to the first commercial break on 408 is “what do you mean alex is missing” lmao

#Michael babe I love you #but babe #he’s missing #lmao #michael guerin #alex manes #malex #rnm #rnm speculation #missing my baby

[ms-three]

Just a thought.

What if the only way to save Alex is to destroy Nora’s ship(or the last puzzle to find that ship) and Michael is the one who have to make this decision…
