Favourite Alan Eppes moments

I'm going to limit myself to one per season (very, very hard!).

Season 1 - the scene at the end of Structural Corruption, where Charlie is brooding in the eatery. Alan looks at Don and has a whole conversation with him in that one look. Don obediently distracts Charlie by mentioning Occam's Razor.

Season 2 - has to be Protest, of course. *The* Alan episode of the show so far, IMO. And predictably, I'm going with the scene at the end *g* Favourite exchange is the "Commie", "G-Man" one between Don and Alan. (And for trivia fans, that is a real pic of Judd Hirsch on the front of his FBI file).

Season 3 - I'm going for Provenance here. It was harder to pick something this time, because they've moved the focus away from Eppes family scenes in this season :pouts: But I like the way Charlie is at odds with Alan in this one, over the house etc. And the final scene, where Don comes home to find Alan, Larry and Charlie have started without him, and Alan uses an Einstein-esque quote was good.

Thinking about it, Judd Hirsch portrays Alan brilliantly throughout the series and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes they were part of the extended Eppes family, because of him...

Yay! I love these. Protest was on my list of great Alan-centric eps, as well. We've learned a bit about the boys over the course of the seasons, it was nice to learn something deeper about Alan's past. And I feel your pain re the lack of Eppes family moments in season 3. :(

Thanks! I agree, it was nice to learn more about Alan, than just the little tidbits they've given us. Glad I'm not the only one wrt S3!
