So far Micheal hasn't been truthful about his past, he told two different stories about his parents and Reily does not believe he's an only child.

To go along with that, he told Angel at the beginning (ch.1 part 2) that he kinda had family in San Louis Bispo- Northern California (I totally butchered that, sorry CA). But later on, he told someone else (can't remember who, will have to listen back) that his parents were killed in a car crash on one of his tours overseas. So, there is the possibility that he is not being truthful.

The part that I feel makes this mystery more interesting that I haven't seen mentioned much is that he had dreams about and said out Randy's name in his sleep while he was sedated at the colony as Hope said something to him about it. So I strongly feel there is something more personal there between the two.

You know, it never crossed my mind that the Randy that Michael recognized when Tanya was being dragged off might be someone that Michael knew before ZDay. Hmmm... Food for thought...

But see that's exactly what I thought first. We hadn't heard of Randy until that episode and we didn't hear about him again until Saul and Victor met up with CJ. And if he recognized him off the bat the way it's portrayed in the episode he had to of been with him and known him long enough to do so. This is what made me think he knew Randy before ZDay. Especially, if it was his brother.

I admit it: I thought of the probability that Michael and Randy already met before the zeehpocalypse; but I never considered a tight relationship between both of them like, for example, both of them being brothers. That's an interesting thought.

I don't know about about them being to close. My bets on Randy being a Smart One that helped out before he lost control. My guess is that he turned. Stayed in control long enough to help Michael. Then lost it later. Maybe after being recruited my TOWTM.

Used in conjunction with Kelly's analysis from season 2 that Michael doesn't fit the only child type.........very interesting.....

Sean refers to him as one of the 'techies' in The 31st.

That would go along with that theory that Burt (I think, so horrible with quote recollection) made about the smart ones that if maybe these smart ones were smart when they were alive and it carried over when they turned.

Yeah, the mention of Randy from CJ's crew drew my immediate attention to the previous Randy references. So I never thought that there might be "another" Randy. I mean, c'mon, how big could LA really be, amirite?
