Just watched Borrowed Time and think this is probably the best line of the series so far:

"why consummate two years of unbridled passion when we can have pasta?"

Alec is superb!!!

The fact that in real life at that time Jessica and Michael were actual lovers makes the passion on the show all the more palpable.
I see you made it past 'Gill Girl', my least favourite ep. 'Love in Vein' is the other, rounding out the two most unwatchable shows list.
I really liked 'Some Assembley Required', and 'Berrisford Agenda' was one of the 3 or 4 best, IMHO.
I knew you'd like Alec. As in smart.
Please keep me updated, can't wait to hear what you think of the finale.

Yes Gillgirl not great - especially found suspending disbelief re gills and eggs tres hard ... God I love Alec - but can't help wondering why Max would go for Logan over Alec ... Loved the Beresford Agenda - nice to see Alec's back story and could Max be being so hard on Alec 'cos deep down she kinda likes him?? Most of all I pretty much adored Joshua’s dinner party (“is the mac and cheese overdone?”)!!

Interesting re Jessica and Michael - didn't know that - Isn't he like about 100 years older than her???

Also found it v hard to believe the "I may be being girly but don't want to waste this opportunity on a quickie" line ... Why not have a quickie and then go for "slow and languorous" later on? - Oh, I get it, plot device!!!

Started watching Love in Vein last night – haven’t finished it yet – punning title in itself enough to put me off …

Max is a control freak, and Alec is out of control, that's why she goes for Logan.
Michael is 15 years older than Jessica. She was a virgin until DA, and Michael changed all that, probably in the first season (behind the scenes, I mean). They broke up a year after cancelation. But their on screen attraction is fascinating to watch, knowing that is absolutly real.

I'm the PERV!!!!! (Did I ever say I wasn't? - just smarting as am much nearer Michael's age - it shoulda been me!?!?!)

Ohh Art Attack eh? You could be right - will have to go home forthwith and re-watch - it being hometime here in the UK!

Yes - slightly pervy. But you know. It made it work didn't it?
I always wondered if they would have carried on together if DA hadn't got cancelled - what do you think?
Hmmm.
Sorry - I'm a a hopeless romantic.

Gotta love Alec.

...and we will call it...this land...
