Other than having to mute the god-awful theme song, I'm loving this series.
"Life is full of change. Some big, some small. I learned a long time ago, you can fight it or you can try to make the best of it. And that's all a lot easier if you've got people who love you helping you face whatever life throws at you.”
It was a beautiful finale. Nothing truly groundbreaking but I thought they did a great job wrapping the show. So many sweet moments – the Dunphy siblings, Phil and Jay, Claire and Mitch’s misadventure, Jay learning Spanish, and the ending shot - leaving that porch light on, symbolism of how Claire and Phil know their kids will return at some point.
I liked it for the most part but I think the ending seemed rushed and it’s a little unrealistic that so many family members are leaving at once. I’m glad they didn’t go with Jay passing away and I really loved the parallels between the first and last scenes of the show - Phil and Claire going over their calendar, Jay and Gloria at the football match, and Mitch and Cam on a flight. I expected Cam to top the first baby reveal. The Lion King one will forever go down in history.
A hugely missed opportunity not to address the documentary element. We'll never know why these people have been interviewed for 11 years.
I'm just gonna say I hope this show isn't actually hinting at a Casey/Brett relationship and that I'm just imagining things
So far, so epically awesome!! OMG! I'm loving this hard! Specially how it's totally intermingled and not just 40 min of one show and then another.
Also, oh my heart! Is Kelly finally gonna settle down?!
This is phenomenal, can you do us a favor though and add in the new series, Strange New Worlds, so that it can be updated properly? That would be greatly appreciated.
They really make you think it's Jack the whole time and just gut punch you in the end. Janet was an amazing character. I honestly love the way secondary characters are treated in this show, they keep coming back and you get to know them and love them. I'm gonna miss her
Cancelling such an amazing show, unreal :cry:
First he was without a helmet. Now even better - he doesn't even need a suit.
A true hero doesn't need this stupid armor to fight covenant!
Could Strange New Worlds get any better? Somehow it can... in Season 2!
This episode made me fall in love with La’An Noonien-Singh. Great acting by Christina Chong, in a brilliantly written episode.
Finally, Matt and Sylvie! Too bad Matt had to blow it, at least for now. Also very nice touch with Kelly retrieving the door and and making the switch to keep the remembrance of Shay, beautiful.
I miss Shay, but I enjoy Lauren in Lucifer at least for now.
I absolutely loved it when Hank clocked that prick of a detective, I wish that prick stood back up just so Hank could give him another one! Lol
Hilarious show, one of those rare shows that gets me actually laughing out loud. Miranda is so relatable and funny!
"I'm 26. I should've graduated college, met someone special... instead, my wife is always making sure I know where the nearest bathroom is."
If you have a wife, then it sounds like you did find someone special. Otherwise, you are greatly insulting your wife, lol.
Why are they always sticking Natalie with the alternative medicine idiots? Nothing ever changes. It's not like she begins to see a different perspective or anything. It's always the same tired shit. Feels like they've done one of these every season now.
The First episode in colour
It wasn't the most memorable finale ever, but it also didn't need to be. When you have an ensemble cast this size, it's difficult to incorporate all 11 main players in a heartfelt goodbye that encapsulates everyone's feelings of family, togetherness, and finality. After having watched this, I read an interview w/ co-creators Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, where they explained that they were both fans of finales, where the characters were saying goodbye, b/c that's what the audience was doing, as well, and I agree w/ this premise.
The last montage was of the camera panning over framed pictures of all the characters taken from the past 11 years, finally settling on a family portrait taken in the season one finale w/ their white outfits splattered w/ mud. This was the only keepsake Christopher Lloyd took from the set, fittingly saying of it, "I thought that if we had to land on one image, that's a good one because it is sort of metaphorical: Families are messy, but beautiful at the same time."
I know the popular thing to do on Trakt, and in all reviews, is whine whine whine, complain oh how stupid and awful, cry about how something ended so stupid, so this won't get as many likes, because I personally think this show ended pretty bad ass, Jack nailed a killer speech, and I'm glad they went with 6 episodes instead of trying to stretch it into 8 by adding some dumb subplots that didn't need to be there. Great job showrunners, this was as good as this show could've ended!
that made me misty af. otis, you'll be missed
Wow that was quite the episode. I saw the Bekkar thing coming, never really trusted her. I knew Rhodes was leaving, but I was a lot more emotional about it than I thought I would be.
Omg I can't believe how bad Dr. Bekker character is this season. The writters ruined her. She is a brilliant surgeon, her character was so competitive and interesting... Now she is just the crazy-manipulator love interest of Connor. It just doesn't fit with the story. Connor is not good enough to ruin that kind of character for him.
I really liked this one... but wrong choice you made Dr. Halstead
That was intense! Probably the best episode of the whole show. It's unfortunate though, It would have been a perfect 3 episode story arch with Chicago Fire and Chicago PD.
a good start, but on its own not yet amazing like all the other chicago's. it was more amazing because of the crossover, it has potential though, i love the character of Stone...but please use Antonio a bit more!
It was pretty good for a debut episode, but it had a wonderful foundation already set, what with the entire fire situation. I guess I'll have to watch at least one more episode to see if it can stand on its own legs. But I'm not sold on this show, yet.
Now that was a nice bombshell at the end. I already thought she was trying to help Crosshair couple episodes back but I couldn't figure out why. She's a clone, too, it seams.
Sad to see Tech go, that was not anticipated. Althought in hindsight it was probably telegraphed a while now with what's-her-name-again taking an interest in him.
I thought this season could be the end and even during this episodes there where moments where it looked like that. Now it seems certain there has to be at least another and I sincerly hope that in its entirety it will be better then this. Which had too many episodes that did not attribute much overall.
Whatever the story will be in season three, if it doesn't include Hunter killing Cid I'd be very dissapointed.
