As usual, great insight! You’re asking the same questions we all had during the airing of the show. Your attention to detail and recollection is awesome though and will serve you very well as the show progresses! This episode makes me feel for Michael! I truly think that Susan (and Brian to an extent) are two of the most reprehensible characters on this show! You’ll probably pick this up when editing, but Brian was looking at Walt weirdly because Walt was studying Australian birds when one flew into the house.

Hmm, yeah, I feel like this episode had somewhat lazy/unbelievable writing. They came up with the relationship they wanted Walt and Michael to have first (no relationship, didn't know each other at all, yet Michael never abandoned him and always wanted to be his dad and never mistreated his mom, either), and then worked backwards. The ONLY way for them to have zero relationship yet having Michael as a good guy was for the mom to be just awful. Even if she wanted to take Walt away, even if she wanted to protect herself from Michael being able to fight for custody of Walt by convincing him to give up parental rights (which is messed up since Michael still wanted to be a father, but could be something a lawyer might do just to be sure they wouldn't ever have a custody battle), there was no in-story reason why she couldn't pass on the letters, couldn't let them talk on the phone, couldn't fly Walt to visit Michael occasionally or fly Michael to visit them occasionally (they were loaded). Maybe if the episode had leaned harder into Michael being totally useless in every aspect of adulting minus loving his child (like, they did show that he wasn't working much, but maybe they could show her just doing EVERYTHING with him never changing a diaper or cooking a meal, and them having huge, crazy fights...). But as it was, it made no sense. She claimed to still love Michael, but then within a year she was getting married and wanting him to give up parental rights... Yeah, so, the point is the writers sort of had to make her unrealistically awful if they wanted to portray Michael in as good a light as they did and yet have him not know his son at all. I guess it was sort of meant to be a twist, because we would have all assumed he was more of a voluntary deadbeat up until this episode. So, um, twist accomplished? But the mom doesn't feel realistic at all. The step dad, unfortunately, does feel realistic. Lots of weird people out there who adopt their partner's children just to keep their partner happy despite having no interest in parenting.

Finally, Claire! We've had a disturbing lack of Australian accents these past few episodes. I'm not a fan of Michael's behaviour on the island. What his ex-wife did was terrible, and I feel for him. And his intentions are certainly good. But on the island he seems very aggressive and hostile towards nearly everyone - including Walt! Only Sun seems to be on his good side. At least at the end of the episode he seemed a bit more mellow.

I love the reaction and this is just a random behind the show secret but actors Charlie and Kate dated in real life during this season so I find their scenes interesting. Also I don’t know if you noticed about Walt but when he got angry the bird hit the window as he was reading a book about birds. He got angry over his comic with the polar bear, then a polar bear appeared. I think that’s what Brain meant by weird things or examples of them but who knows what that means. I can’t wait to see the next episode but one a week is torture lol.
