So many threads being woven in this story, but perhaps the most poignant in this series was Francis's. From a head-strong, thoughtless young man, finally, Francis became rather wise, caring and insightful.
The last conversation between Francis and Demelza was written beautifully and acted to perfection. I just hope that Ross will acquire Francis's understanding before he breaks Demelza's heart, but I fear that will not be so. Instead, I can only wish that his love for his wife will finally triumph.
Loved the scene whilst Elizabeth and the others were waiting at Trenwith - the sense of foreboding and the lighting were brilliant.
Can't wait to see Ray Penvennen's face when Caroline comes of age
Poor lovely Francis I will miss him. He was far too good for Elizabeth. I kept hoping they wouldn't kill him but of course they had to. So poignant at the end when he thought Ross had come to save him. Sniff.
all that hype for arizona only for her to do a surgery they could’ve given to the new peds doc. she didn’t mention even callie (knew her mentioning alex would be a stretch) or have a scene with teddy or richard. like she and bailey were fun but that’s it? that was her big cameo? a waste.
especially for the 20th season like where’s the intrigue and fun.
the new interns were refreshing but now they’re jaded and dragging the punishment plot and it’s boring. im bored.
The writers put the characters through the wringer for most of this show, so when they get a win for once, it's so satisfying.
This is one of those episodes that halts you in your binge of the series. Not because it’s bad, but because you need to stop take a step back and really think about what happened. This episode explains a lot why each character is the way that they are.
Absolutely beautifully acted and directed. It really does capture the chaos of a holiday dinner with family.
Umm… jesus motherfucking christ… that was equal parts INTENSE and AMAZING.
I totally understand that a lot of time, effort, and emotional energy would have been invested in the pregnancy reveal, but the reality is it didn't work. They should have cut it and found another way.
(To be more specific, the way it played out in a physical sense just didn't make any logical sense; as an actor she had to wait for the action—the movement and sound—to end before she could speak, or neither we nor the people she's speaking to hear her, but it makes no sense for her to do that IRL, of course, because once she realised everyone was looking at her she would not have revealed this information.)
The hesitancy of Jeff while giving his number to Claire got me curious. He was leaving his number to the fridge guy at the beginning of this episode as 773-555-0901. He told Claire as 0902. A sad tiny detail.
Only after the episode ended did I have time to stop and have the realization that there were no cuts once you were in the restaurant.
I loved this so much and the comedy aspect with the unexpected duo of Elliot and Ethan was hilarious and I’m going to need more of it
certainly not a bad episode, but the highlights for me were definitely michael and aimee’s character arcs. i do like how maeve chose her own path too, it’s definitely very liberating and consistent with her character.
i do want to talk about this season having some issues, (too many storylines, what i felt was forced inclusivity and things strangely happening/linking up or other things not being mentioned by coincidence) it left me feeling that the writing could definitely have been improved. i think i’m most disappointed with otis’ character because i felt that the selfishness and ignorance was not consistent at all with how he was in the previous seasons. there’s a bit in this episode where otis blames his mother for himself and maeve breaking up, despite him being the one to make that decision?? there’s been other examples in previous episodes but i’ll just use that one.
a decent season, and i honestly couldn’t say that i was underwhelmed , but it definitely could have been executed far better.
Ik there was a similar scene in season 3, but the protest scene felt so corny. I was liking it for a sec until they all started to do cringy ass clapping. Also, I liked the Maeve and Jean scenes. Very touching and wished that happened way earlier instead of right before the end. Also liked the Adam scene.
The final two games were underwhelming. They were not fun to watch.
Rooting for Mai because all the other players seemingly forgot how Ashley did Trey dirty in the glass bridge.
Weird ass episode. The tonal whiplash between Yuri's side story and the other mini segments was kinda odd. Felt like a filler episode for sure
It's 2023 and META humor is the norm. But this episode really was ahead of its time as far as META humor goes. I know there was some in other examples but this almost seems like the birth of the idea in TV.
Hard to believe this came out in 1992. It aged really well
‘I for one am not going to compromise my artistic integrity”
You’re not artistic and you have no integrity” lol classic
This new school looks like my own personal hell. Those kids are so peppy and aggressively woke that it’s legit creeping me out
Why are we getting introduced to like, 10 new characters? Hope it doesn't spend too much of the final season focusing on them all
They way I kept yelling and reacting at my screen for them to put pressure on her wound :sob: the stress I have this episode induced could have powered a whole plantation
Excuse me, I love the story but WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY WATCHING HER BLEED OUT??? Apart from that, I love these guys. Their bond and trust to each other is enviable. Also goddamn, they got some moves. Looks like they came to the championship as North Korea's martial arts team. :sunglasses:
I usually have a big smile on my face while watching this drama. Damn those last 10 minutes hit me so hard.
Beautiful Animation. Loved the character development here. Trauma is hard to overcome, especially if you're faced with your abusers again. I'm glad she held on to her hope.
Anya is most adorable anime character ever.
This is a classic example of where a movie might appear on my "favorite" list but not necessarily my "best" list. Is the movie perfect? No. Have we seen a lot of this before? Of course - it's hard to come up with something completely original when there hundreds of movies made every year. It doesn't matter. Sometimes there is something about a movie that just sucks you in and doesn't let you go. This movie had such an effect because the quality of the acting was phenomenal. All of the actors seemed to understand that there needed to be an understated tone to the characters and nobody does that better than Jason Bateman. The film is first and foremost a drama and because of the understated approach to the movie the comedic parts were very funny yet did not take away from the depiction of broken people inside of a broken family. There is a heart in this movie that is undeniable. Probably the highest compliment that I can pay it is that I was ready to watch it again the moment it ended and that almost never happens to me.

What was that portal like thing in the tunnel Brianna walked through? I almost expected her to end up in a different time after that. Maybe she would have if she was carrying a gem?
O....k so I thought Yuri was just an annoying overprotective younger brother, but he's actually disturbingly obsessed with his sister. Let's hope he can sort that complex out real soon because it's the only thing that bitters the sweet innocence of this lovely anime.
Aside from Yuri, Loid's words to Yor about being herself, (though hypocritical coming from him) were beautifully said, and of course our Anya is adorable as ever.
The feeeeels! Loid can deny it all he wants but that little found family he has is the realest thing he has and when he realises it, this "mission" will never end (even when the job does).
Also, the intro and end credits are a delight to watch. I've no idea what they're singing... I pick up that the intro is something about Mama and Papa and peanuts, but that's it lol.... I still enjoy the songs and Anya's dream sequence at the end is the cutest most heartwarming thing.
Oh no, not the return of the sister complex lmao. Last I saw it was in Saiki-kun, and at least Saiki definitely addressed how weird it was. I know this is mostly comedy, but it's just weird to be that obsessed.
I will still NEVER understand how the world's best spy has no qualms that his wife can casually break his friend's arm into 3.
Anya is ADORABLE af and literally the darn glue of this show. I want to squeeze her so haaard! Loid is damn lucky he got this little angel in his life
I thought the ending was something Tedro was imagining while overdosing on drugs provided by Hank Azaria's people (remember "plan B"?). But I guess a young woman taking back her abuser is the most realistic ending.
Also, I feel like I missed an episode. Jocelyn turning on Tedros right from the start of the episode felt like it happened out of nowhere.
