So instead of having Dylan and Haley move in the empty apartment above Cam and Mitch where they could learn to be independent but also be close enough for emergencies we get more of Pam (by far the least likeable character) and her pointless son, and Haley is back into the basement. Who thought it's a good idea to have more of Pam instead of giving Luke, Alex or Manny some proper story line?
Do ALL stories of Cam and Mitchell have to be about one of them lying to other until they are forced to say the truth?
The episode "Grill, Interrupted" was aired on 2015's April's Fools' Day, the network ABC pulled a prank by featuring some hidden jokes in each of Wednesday's night's episodes. On Modern Family, instead of showing the Season 6 opening sequence, the version of the families holding the picture frames are from Season 1, so Lily is a baby, the Dunphy kids look super young and there's no trace of Baby Joe. Also, the painting in the foyer of Jay and Gloria's house. Normally, the painting by the front door depicts someone wearing flip-flops, but the shoes change to one of three different styles in various scenes.
Does anybody know who is the sponsor of this episode?
"Why are we doing this to each other? Are we so broken that we can't be honest to each other?"
At least Cam and Mitch are slowly becoming self-aware.
-only identifies as a ballet dancer- -gets upset when people only want her because she is a ballet dancer and that quickly fades-
-says that she is shallow and always were and always will be- -gets upset when she gets rejected because she is shallow and tells the world that her suitor said she is shallow-
Ooookay
I absolutely do not care about all the sex innuendos with Claire and Phil. Or rather "Juliana and Clive". I didn't care about that role-playing in season 1 and five seasons later I still don't like it. I find it, um, seriously awkward.
And because I'm already ranting - Why did Cam and Mitch had only one kiss during the whole show? Their only kiss happened at their wedding. Seriously? We see Claire and Phil making out, and Jay and Gloria were dry-humping each other in other episodes, and all the couples throw around innuendos (even the teenagers!). But the gays do not even kiss? Even the dog got kissed more often! This is not equality. It's nothing new that Modern Family is basically one stereotype after another, but at least treat the gay couple the same way you treat the other two families and don't just use them as your poster child to lure in the LGBTQ community. Because they're doing exactly this - They're using the gay couple as advertisement for the LGBTQ community, but they don't dare to actually let the gay couple be, well, gay besides clichés because they don't want to scare away their "normal" viewers.
Odd that they didn't address the murderous intent of knowingly infecting people with AIDS. Really odd
I just have to rate this a solid 10.
Not only because I forgot that they were going to loose (because that was what I had suspected all along), but because of how they delivered that:
During the last few episodes we witnessed the nerve-wracking back and forth, the development of Karasuno as a team and of its players. All animated beautifully, accentuated by just the right soundtrack. They made us not only care for Karasuno, but bit by bit for their adversaries, too. Then we got the battle of wills, the excruciating long stretch, the never-ending sprint for the 2 points. It was within reach, so close. And then Kageyama, the not-so-lonesome king delivered the perfect ball for Hinata and the world froze for a moment, all silent, all black. They blocked it. Oikawa realized and understood Kageyama's development and Karasuno lost their final point, because they developed as a team. Sure, they wouldn't have gotten to this point otherwise. But they didn't loose, because they made a mistake. They lost against a stronger team, fair and square.
And we as an audience didn't get left with a cliffhanger right before that moment or right after. We saw pain and sadness, anger, despair. We saw heartfelt tears. Because we needed them, too. They are part of loosing. Part of the process. And there will be more matches to play.
I like the fishing bit.
After watching Kuruko no basket I spent 2 hours in the garden trying to dunk and after watching Hajime no ippo I joined a boxing gym, never thought this would happen with a volleyball anime though, yet right now I’m bouta scroll through eBay and buy a volleyball so I can learn to spike.
girl... bad romance by ms. lady gaga deserved a better lipsync perforrmance. those both should go home together. but phoenix really needed to go home - you can't throw shade at the others when they are better than you girl.
and shangela and alexis SHOULDN'T win the challenge. that challenge was manila's, TOTALLY. she's my favorite at this point. i love her looks and her acting. raja is good too. bur mimi, alexis mateo, delta, most of these girls, even shangela whose personality i love... they are not champions.
The alienation of the working class
MY FATHER SAYS SHE WAS BORN LUCKY. HE SAYS I WAS LUCKY TO BE BORN.
Loved this ep, but found it very out of character for Penelope to be having her shoes on, especially when she's laying on the new couch!
It's a cute anime that's entertaining to watch, but it relies way too much on coincidence and it kind of rushes the ending.
The title of the anime is very misleading. Nothing matters here except for the romance plot. There is no "recovery". There is no exploration of the shortcomings of her lifestyle. (As a gamer, I would have liked a more critical portrayal of the game's microtransaction and loot box mechanics in particular.) There is no exploration of the circumstances that caused her to become a NEET and/or MMO Junkie. All we get is passing comments to the effect that her job was a little stressful, apparently? I thought we were going to find out that she'd been sexually harassed? Or more detail about how demanding her employers were (perhaps a critical look at Japanese work culture?) Never happens! Even in the end of the series, it seems she's still both a NEET and an MMO Junkie.
The romantic plot is the only aspect to receive any kind of resolution, and even then it's only kind of half-assed. The only conclusion is they start holding hands. This is a moment that could have emotional weight but not in the way it's portrayed. They don't even acknowledge themselves as dating at the end. There's no real struggle. Just a series of increasingly unlikely coincidences that lead to the romantic outcome.
Overall, it's not a bad time, but there's a lot of wasted potential and in the end it feels a bit like a hollow piece of marketing.
i'm sorry but emo bananya is clearly the greatest thing to grace television. ever.
Why're all the men so freaking broke in comparison with the ladies?
