Parenthood 11/21

Can we talk about last nights Parenthood?





I'm glad Kristina lost. It's more believable.
I hope the band guy is ok. He took quite a beating. I hope this means the end of Ryan. I never liked him. He didn't have much personality and he was really moody.
Joel and Julia are making me sad. They are both royally screwing this up.

I'm not sure who is more to blame with Julia/Joel. Julia has always been my least favorite person on the show- she is so uptight and I always felt like she treated Joel like he was less important than herself. And she needs to cool it with Ed. But I don't think Joel is dealing with this well, either. He has always been the perfect husband, so its sad to see him blowing this.

Dude. Ryan beat the living shit out of that guy. I like him, but I don't think he's right for Amber, and he definitely has some things to work through.

Do you think they're hinting that Sarah is going to get back with Hank?

I really thought Kristina deserved to lose and I wanted her to, but I was still sad when she did and cried when that little girl came up to her.

I am fine with Amber & Ryan not working out.

Julia & Joel are pissing me off hardcore. DH & I disagreed on her going to see him at work. I did think it was inappropriate, but I also thought he immediately should have stepped outside with her, even for 30 seconds, and NOT had that conversation in front of his boss Pete. She is so awkward and suspicious with Ed. There are so many danger signs everywhere on that one, not to mention the previews for next week. It is sad to me that she doesn't have anyone else at all to talk to- no girlfriends, sisters, parents, etc. Why are the choices only Joel or Ed? Plus I do think that Joel is way more supportive and helpful than she gives him credit for. And I think it's unreasonable to expect/demand that he will be able to drop everything and talk to her on the phone every time anything is hard. It was 5pm when she went to see him at work, not midnight. I still think it is insane that she quit her job without talking to him about it- that would be a huge disaster in my house.

IRL, if my husband called me 5 times and I knew about it, I would assume there was an emergency and at least would have texted him "Hey honey, sorry I can't talk now" or stepped outside to call him or something. I also would have let him know I was going to a bar instead of just not showing up at home hours late two nights in a row like Amber did.

I liked Sarah & Hank together and hope they get back together.

I did a HUGE eye roll at Jasmine's political rant. Shut it. She's such a bully to Crosby; I wish he'd dump her for good.

I'm glad Kristina lost also; the entire storyline was completely unrealistic. And dull.

I love the Hank/Max dynamic. They are good for each other.

I'm sad for Joel & Julia. I think Joel was in the wrong though & should have stepped outside with her when she showed up at the site since they were just in the middle of a casual bite to eat.
