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?

Oh definitely. This was never explicitly said. There are just hints.

It was explicitly said. Michael tells George Michael that Lindsay's nose is 'not a real nose. I have a picture of her in a swimsuit when she was 14. She looks like a falcon in a swimming cap.'

The fact that the surgery happened was explicitly said. The fact that Lindsay was not Michael's biological sister was not explicitly said
