Question about Dr. Reeves (Hunter's father)

I agree. While some of Alex's adventures are interesting, a lot of the episodes geared specifically towards her without a side-plot going on at the chemical plant, are just cutesy preteen-geared fluff. It makes sense considering that it's a children's show, but the characters who work at the chemical plant always seem to be more intriguing. I think there were a lot of subtle things mentioned that could've been explained further or been more centralized in the show, like the full backstories of Vince and Danielle and Dave and such, and less of Alex's Day-Glo type world where the biggest thing she has to worry about is an upcoming math quiz or a boy she likes not liking her back. I've always wondered about what would motivate Vince to become more or less a hitman under the guise of a security guard, and I understand money motivating Danielle's corruption, but what drives her to be so cruel to everyone around her? In 'The Secret' when Alex goes into the house rumored to be the place where a crazy woman locked her child up in the basement and refused to let her outside, and then it says Atron on the mailbox at the end and Alex finds out that there was a girl who lived there who ran away to school and all that, I had a lot of questions. I think there's more to Dave than meets the eye too, that he might've known a lot more about the illegal research than he let on, and although his role as the town's village idiot is comedic, it was interesting how he became a more serious character in the fourth season. Apparently Ken Lipman had plans to reboot Alex Mack as a film where Alex is an adult and has kids of her own, but many of the show's actors have either moved on to other roles or have quit acting altogether. Natanya Ross (Robyn Russo) has disappeared from acting for the most part and Louan Gideon (Danielle Atron) died back in 2014. I haven't heard much about Annie Mack's actor in a long time, either. Maybe if they hired new actors they could just remake it? I mean, the majority of viewers today of Alex Mack are nostalgic adults instead of little kids, so it could do a lot better remade for adults. I could also see sort of an Alex Mack the Next Generation bringing in more viewers, but I think in a digital age, a remade Alex Mack geared towards younger kids would probably just turn into Alex and her friends sitting around taking selfies and stuff. :-\

I never liked the paper plate episode either, it was too weird for me. The talking donut, the hippie woman, Alex being buried in garbage while an audio track of hippies humming is played in the background, eco-nut protestors at a small town donut shop, it was just too strange. Again, I thought that the sub-plot with the GC161 test family at the plant was interesting but the rest of the episode was just ridiculous. 😲
