Hmm, i haven’t played Alyx so I couldn’t comment, but for trilogy i’d like to only stick to same protagonist in the same set of storyline, and since HL1 have different tone and set in different time and place and isn’t flow so well into HL2, and Alyx feature a different protag, HL2 and the two episodic is just the perfect 3.
Half life wise, could you also consider HL2, HL2 all episodes, and HL Alyx as a trilogy?

I just had a side thought:
“It’s only a trilogy if it has the same protagonist”
“What about the Cornetto Trilogy”
