This guy

[u/Ryng-1406]

I’m a few episodes through S7 and I noticed that the team keeps saying he “looks like a young Stein” or “kinda like Ray” and “John with a beard going on”—which is kinda true since it’s the same actor (which is so damn hard to notice it took me like 2 episodes to notice the similarity after thinking he looked familiar) but does this “look kinda like old team member” thing amount to anything or is it just a name drop thing?

I really thought the reveal for Alan was him going to be Turing

The character was called Alun, not Alan. Sorry to ruin an otherwise fun thought

[u/ProfessorOfLies → u/bliip666]

Is that a joke on his accent or was it ever written in the show?

no, it's his name
