parenthood finale

[zarapipe]

pugz, who else likes this show?

I thought it was good! Loved haddie and that convo with her mom, loved drew and zeke and what's her face gf, idk about amber and ryan, wtf was that pregnancy test about, did they have sex in the bed and the next day she bought a test? I'm suprisingly OK with Sarah and "ray". I'm glad Camille and zeke are OK now.

I love this show but I DVR it and haven't watched the finale yet. I will be back to this post after I watch it tomorrow!

The pregnancy test seemed really fast unless we were supposed to assume it was a week or two later?

I'm glad I'm not the only crier! I had to pause and find a tissue. Thankfully DH loves my sensitive side and just petted my hand and told me I was wonderful. LOL.

I like the plot twist with Haddie, and that no one treated it like 'oh, something you just do in college to experiment.' 

Love that Joel seems back into Julia. I really want that to work, even if Mr Knight is delicious. 

I wish Ryan's mom had been a more nuanced character. Oh well.

Amber would be a great mom (I assume the test was a couple of weeks later). But this is obviously not ideal. I love Amber, love that she throws herself into things wholeheartedly.

Love this show and thought the finale was great. I was confused on the pregnancy test too but I guess it was a couple weeks after the hospital. (?) I guess she is pregnant bc they showed her drinking water at the dinner. Really like how they handled Hattie and didn't make it some life-changing situation for the family. I hope Joel-Julia work out.

I love this show! I didn't cry at this episode but probably every other one this season.
I hate Ryan's mom, I don't get the pregnancy test 2.5 seconds later at all. Can't wait to see what next season will hold. I really hope Julia does NOT tell Joel about what happened with the teacher.

[lolo]

You guys are right. Julia sleeping with Mr Knight is likely to come out.

I don't see how they managed hospital sex that banged up!

And the family dinner was the same weekend. Haddie was still coming out to her dad and the girlfriend was still there (right?). So, maybe the hospital sex was ~ 2-3 weeks ago? Bad timing.

I loved Victor's essay, I definitely cried. I've been a big fan of Zeke lately too.

I have no interest in Sarah's storyline.

Haddie is still so annoying and I have not missed her. I did like how they handled her storyline though and I liked her girlfriend.

I loved Adam and Crosby goofing off together.

I was hoping for more resolution in the Julia/Joel saga. I normally can't stand bratty Sydney but she broke my heart when she was begging Joel not to go.

I hate that they give so much away in the previews for this show.

I don't know how I feel about the finale.

Likes:
I also loved Victor's essay. Victor is probably my favorite character on this show these days. I generally dislike Sidney and her brattiness, but I actually understood where she was coming from here. I want Julia/Joel to get back together, but with the whole Mr Knight thing I'm sure there will be more issues there.

They handled Haddie's sexuality okay, I thought. I actually like her girlfriend. Still find Haddie insufferable and the whole thing screams of a stunt to me (OMG! LESBIANS!), but it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

Zeke and Camille. Glad they are on the same page now and same to be at a good place in their relationship. The scene where they were dancing was sweet.

The final scene, with the whole family in the backyard one last time. That was sweet.

Dislikes:
Everything about Drew. His girlfriend and their dysfunctional relationship. That he got Zeke's car (Victor totally should have gotten that car). Everything. The guy has the personality of a damp paper towel. And she is so manipulative. He tells you he doesn't have the time/money to visit you and all she says is "Figure it out"? Um, it's a two way street, bitch. I don't even LIKE Drew and I'm still standing up for him about this.

Everything about Max. I want to like him but he is just a little a-hole. "Tailor person"? And Kristina's only response is that is "kind of" rude? My parents would never have let that fly when I was growing up. No wonder Max is such a jerk.

Amber and Ryan. UGH. I also saw this as they had sex in the hospital bed and now she's pregnant. But the timing is crazy. Was there supposed to be a time lapse there? Because it looked like the same day, or at most a few days. Also, that whole relationship was not and is not healthy and I wish they would have just let it go. Dude has issues.

Ryan's mom. What a bitch.

I haven't watched since early season 1. A friend's brother was in this episode so I tuned in again. I might have to go back and catch up.
