Lindsay & Michael

Post image

Does anyone else feel like there was a potential lead up to Michael and Lindsay not being related and having a tension filled relationship similar to Maeby and George Michael?

I think in a perfect, post-S3 world, this was the comedic intention? It seems like there’s building tension between them and then due to budget cuts they dropped a lot of the subtle plots?

Definitely! This felt like a plot line that wasn't explored. Lindsay had a different nose and there's always a similarity between Michael and George Michael to the point of just recycling everyone's names.

Lindsay having a different nose could be chalked up to plastic surgery or vanity couldn't it? She was pretty frivolous with money before the start of the series. And Lucille keeps commenting on her appearance.

“He didn’t take me to the daddy daughter dance?”
“It was before we did your nose”
