Gah, it's been so long since the finale I totally forgot Justin was a full mortal... I mean, I knew Alex won the Family Wizard title, but I guess I've read to many fic and somehow thought she shared some of the magic with him. Ah well, I like my head canon better. ^-^
Anyway, back to Alex vs Alex - When I was watching it, and the scene comes where Dominic shows up and says Justin couldn't make it, I knew something was up. So in my head, something bad happened to him to keep him from coming back to the mortal world, and it was only confirmed when Dom ended up the bad guy. So I feel completely validated in thinking that, after the events of the movie, that after a few days the family notices that Justin still hasn't come back/contacted them again and Alex goes to check it out. Cue rescue scenario and the 'Yay! We're both free/alive' sex hug.
I was seriously expecting Alex to share some of her power, if that would be possible in the Wizards canon. I mean, after everything that happened between them, you'd think there would have been a better ending for her and Justin. But I guess by then the writers were really pushing Mason and Juliet, which was just annoying. I like my head canon way better, too.
Lol! I love your head canon for Alex vs Alex! That sounds totally plausible to me. But you know what I really want to know? It's like a burning question in my mind, for some reason. Are Justin and Alex (and Harper) in college? Like, what are they doing with their lives. Yes, yes, Justin is running Wiz Tech, for some damn reason, despite being under-qualified. And mortal. And Alex is the family wizard who gets to do...what? At least Max is inheriting the Sub Station, so he's got that going for him. And apparently Harper and Zeke aren't together anymore? That saddens me because they were terribly cute together.
Gah, I just have so many thoughts and feelings for this series still
Hmm, okay, I've definitely got to watch the show again now. But just to put something out there for now, based on my fuzzy memories, I'd say that the end of the series and Alex vs Alex are set in the summer after Justin's graduation. If Alex passed her classes, she and Harper would be Seniors next year. And Max would be a Sophomore. ... But I have no idea why Theresa and Jerry would have allowed Alex and Harper to move out to their own apartment if they weren't 18, if this were the case, so I'm kinda stumped until I do a complete rewatch.
As for Harper and Zeke, I just think that since he wasn't onscreen, they didn't mention him. Why do you think they're not together anymore?
Okay, just by looking at the episode descriptions, I now know that Alex and Harper did graduate at the end of season 4. So Justin graduated in season 3, they graduated in season 4, but I still think that Alex vs Alex is set during the summer because that's the best time for family reunions.
Haha, the whole of the Wizards timeline is confusing. Because Justin is supposed to be like 2 years older than Alex, right? But maybe only 1 year ahead of her in school? And he's supposed to be in all these advanced courses, but there were eps where Alex and Harper were in the same class as him and Zeke. Like, really?
And I did remember the weird ep where Alex and Harper weren't sure if Alex was going to graduate, and they blew up the school or something and managed to get her diploma anyway. That's why I thought she and Harper moved to their own apartment (did Justin ever move out?), because they graduated. It could be that most of the last season took place during the summer after Alex and Harper graduate. But like, I have no idea what their plans for the future were. (Is Harper really going to write a series of books based on the Russos?) I have all these burning questions that will probably never be answered outside of fics. XD
