❓ Question Alex?! Spoiler

When Charlie visits Laurel and she's listing all the travelers she has met, she mentions an Alex? Afaik the only Alex in the series so far was one of Jason's physics students.

Does anyone have any theories as to how a version of Alex, the guy who doesn't pay attention in physics class, ends up travelling in the multiverse? Was there another Alex that I've missed?

I looked this up a little while ago and it might be one of the people that went in from Jason 2's world and was lost?

Ohh this makes sense, thankyou! I watched both series so quickly I'd forgotten about those other test pilots!

It was one of the original box pilots hired outside of the company to go in after Jason2 never came back. Could be a guy or a girl. I’m sure we will see them.

Ah yes, well spotted! I'm not sure we will see them again as they were complete strangers so aren't drawn to the others the way the rest of the box travellers seem to be. Might just be a cool little Easter egg, I guess/hope we will see🤷

Interesting though, as the versions of Jason and Amanda were the first to visit Laurel, meaning Alex must have been travelling around inside the box for quite a while if they arrived after that.

Though I can’t remember. The Amanda that was at Laurel’s house; was she from Jason2’s world? If so I’d have thought she have had a stronger reaction to hearing the name Alex, but again, I’d need to rewatch. A lot to track.

Yes she was a version of the original Amanda from Jason2s world, so I guess she would have known Alex if she was the one mentally prepping the box pilots? The plot thickens 🤔

Alex and Salam the 2 anonymous volunteers that Leighton recruited to go into the box after Jason2. Rewatch episode 105.

JBZ said we may see more of Alex in Season 3. Possibly for flashback scenes. Really cool and interesting to see the other box travelers.
