This was so wonderful, mainly thanks to the actors, they were truly magnificent, and they are so young! Indeed, it makes me want to watch the whole series again, and even read the books, though it's not my cup of tea usually (the regency stories). So touching. I only wonder what happened to Reynolds, whether the king doesn't have his man now?
Also, I wonder if the older version of King Geroge was played by the same actor as in the brief appearance he had in the series? As I said, it really warrants a re-watch, to see the Queen from a new perspective and have deeper understanding of her motives.

This episode was soooo amazing. Brimsley's devotion, Charlotte bravery and the ability to stand for herself and her king. And the surprising twist that Lady Dunbary was in love with Violet's father is so touching. I wonder if it'll be revealed to Violet in the next last episode and how would she react to that. It took me a while to get into the series and now I'm sad there's only one episode left. This saga is deliciously done peace of TV history, and I'm already excited for season 3 and waiting for a Benedict season.

Amelia and Link are the best thing on GA right now, I hope the writers won't ruin it.
I loved the resolution of the newlyweds stories from Station 19, it felt right. This woman really is extremely annoying and toxic, and it's nice to see that men can be victims and vulnerable too. Good for Shane, it's better to be alone than with someone who makes you feel insignificant.

Oh, I disliked George at first, but now I'm sad about him :disappointed: I hope he's ok, and poor Junie. Sometimes some things are better left untold, I guess (Amy coming clear didn't do anyone any favors).

I wanted Bailey and Ben baby for a while, but this feels kinda overdue, and yes - too much babies lately, the one who writes this definitely has some baby fever.
Additionally, I liked Tom more when he was just the right amount of obnoxious. Now it's overboard and not the cute Dr. House style of the arrogant brilliant doctor, but ego-bruised alpha-pos.
Also, I dislike Hunt's hypocrisy - he took paternity leave to avoid Tom, but wants to make himself look good, really don't like it, he makes himself look so nurturing while being ready to jump ship at any minute (however - I must admit is really hot when he jumps on top of patients, argh).
In general, IMO kids deserve at least one parent who is willing to devote at least a year or two to their well-being. This doesn't shown in this show unfortunately and it portrays a very poor picture IMO. It's like - glamorize the medical professions all you like, but parenting is NOT a substitute position...

Awesome series with a heart-warming finale.
One thing I didn't like is the bit about Bud being a hated divorce lawyer - the problem is not that he does well his job, but the fact that people get divorced, but I can see the logic of not engaging in the negativity while not being that kind of guy.
Robert was so cool about his decline, so is Frankie. Something we can really learn from.

Evidently, June continues to think she's better than anyone, for no apparent reason.

Serena's baby is not from Fred, right? It's from this agent guy. So basically, If Serena had another man who could've to impregnate her - Gilead wouldn't happen (because I remember her not having a baby was a big struggle for her and partly the reason she pushed for it), because obviously, Fred is sterile, not being able to get nor June nor Serena pregnant.

I hope the handmaids escaped before June and Nick's squat got there, probably with young Keyes becoming the leader (and later resenting June for abandoning her).
The hardships of those in Canada were very real, and I loved Moira's outburst about June, that was very real. I only missed Luke in this episode.

Andy going back to Ryan gets really old, It's really time to find him some lady too. The weird tenson with Sullivan in the end - I liked it, but also don't think Andy is a good fit for him, she's too... Childish? I really feel the series doesn't have enough characters right now to play around, so they're going for the obvious. Meh, but Shondaland knows how to keep us watching even when it's lame at times.

Talking in a foreign language so that your superior wouldn't understand you, man, I did it in second grade and that childish even then. Lame. And of course he'd understand. The character is ok, I can see his reasons for trying to reinforce discipline and respect.
But weird situation with Tanner AND Jack, Andy being really stupid - I didn't like it, they're really making childish and incompetent, and her dad - really needy.
Delucca playing matchmaker was also really out of the blue.
Miller was cute, and love Montgomery with his bf, but overall - that was meh, badly written.

I always feel sorry for George in this series, it's like he really got the worse deal in the family, unlike Marry who finds everything in being a mom and in the church, including man's attention and some rebellion. I wonder when's the thing that made the dad "the villian" (as I remember from TBBT) so hated by the mom and resented by the kids.

I thought that after coining the "coitus" in previous episodes he'd use it here, but whatever.
Meemaw is really being not nice to Georgie and June, although I can understand her pain if she put all of her savings into this business. Still, she usually knows better and acting more maturely.
Maybe she just feels that June tries to take everything that it hers (Dale, the gambling room, bonding with Georgie) and being jealous.

Thanks God, the Randall mom thing didn't take the easy route. Loved everything about this tbh. The Covid thing it's just life, a part of our world history now. I love that they open up the interracial issues Randal had to suppress to fit into the family. Liberal or not, it's just difficult to stand out like that.

Could someone PLEASE just give poor Owen Hunt a baby please?!
Like, seriously.
Kudos to the actor though, I could just see him saying "AGAIN?!" inwardly when Emilia shouted at him "I DON'T WANT A BABY".
Though as already noted, this drama between them seemed forced, like they don't have any other way to make them interesting anymore (though I wasn't sure about this pairing from the beginning, tbh.)

Alex, my beloved Alex! As long as he's at Sloan Grey - everything is right in the world.
Amelia's scene was good, but I wish she'd told Owen, their relationship might derail because of her grieving alone. He might tell her about his sad experience with Cristina and they'll be all cleansed up for a new try to expand the family.

Oh, Tucker has gotten so big! Loved the Bad-Cop-Ben routine.
The Mer-Maggie-Riggs story is stupid, as we all agree.
I hope they'll get another guy into this hospital, not enough testosterone for me with the battered Andrew, self-beating Alex, self-absorbed Riggs... Even Owen disappeared this episode.
Give us some drool-worthy guys, dammit.

The Sister argument from Maggie was weird... Girl, you're a half-sister she got to know like a second ago, while Alex is basically like a real brother since they've been together like what, 10 years? Lived together, made horrible mistakes together, survived shootings and whatnot, went through losses, etc... I don't think she had to apologize for taking a side of a closer person vs. someone relatively new and her fling (aka Deluca, nice and good guy and all, but still basically a stranger. and she didn't know the specifics yet). You do weird things for family, that's what family is all about, and there's no use in making her feel guilty.
But Maggie is overall a ridiculous character created from almost nothing + cheap soap-opera textbook cliche (someone had a baby and gave it up for adoption who miraculously circles back to where it all started), so I'm probably expecting too much.

I actually liked clean-shaved Mutt, he's cute with more facial expressions.
I hope we still get to see him, maybe through some interactions with his parents (writer kind of let go off the fact that he's the mayor's son),

I watched it way after the hype it caused in 2020, and I must say it didn't "age" well (give me a break, each year went as 5 these days). Feels like she gave up too easily on ab addiction that lasted from childhood. Also, It seems to me like a fantasy made to encourage girls, the actress is great, but many of the aspects aren't followed through (like her birth father, why didn't she look for him? it's one thing when the mom wants to hand over a girl, and it's different when she dies. Or her relationships in general, despite the length of the episodes, most of them appeared shallow, except for Alma).
Also, having Russian background, the language and some of the backdrop was not convincing (not bas as "Killing Eve" though).
It was also weird that her Russian kicked in only in the last scene.
Anyway, pretty good one, but having too high expectations about it might lead to disappointment.

I don't think this movie does justice with the designer and the struggles he's been through.
Like being treated in the psychiatric facility, in the movie it looks like he was too soft for the army and got mad, but it was much bigger trauma. And the issue with the fact that his mother didn't protect him when he was beaten as a child could have been explored further, and was contradictory to her approval and praise of him.
Generously, the movie made him look kind of shallow in my opinion, as well as their relationship with Berge which obviously was much deeper in real life. I think both of them wouldn't like their depiction, in terms of the script. The actors were great, though.

It's interesting that Kurt is probably not THAT angry about the death of his own son. I guess he sees Harrison as a better "kin" to pass the torch to. Or is it his revenge, son for son? Very interesting, I don't want this to be only 10 episodes :sob:
