I enjoyed the movie too, the Ellie/Paul friendship is one of the best male/female friendships since, I don’t know when. I was not a big fan of the church scene, even though I did laugh at Paul’s mom. I have never heard of Saving Face, I will try to check that out. I wish all the best for the three main actors.

This show really works for me, as I have at least some level of affection for everyone in the show. Jenna saying she will need a rape kit really touched me. I would like more episodes with all of the characters together, but I realize that is quite a time-consuming and expensive ask.

Max is my favourite character on the show and his numbers are consistently my favourite. I work in a firm with very defined departments so when someone moves to another department, it is a big deal. They should have had a final interview with Max as to his experiences in Floor Four. And they should have made sure his files remained. Not sure who to blame: Zooey or Lauren Graham.

I am so sad. I too wished this was on The CW. They renew everything. This was the best show of the new decade for me.

Congrats Leighton! Fun episode. The adults together in one room is always so good. And Smoke Monster!

I wonder if Tess becoming social worker has less to do with Déjà and more to do with Hailey. I would like to see Annie and Tess interact more with Aunt Kate anyways.

Wait, A Million Little Things was good at some point? This show is not actively annoying but not particularly memorable either. I’ll keep watching but I watched this show for Scott, so bummed his character dies. No one else stands out.

Randall’s “disdain” for Kevin’s acting career is not much different from Jack’s disregard for Rebecca’s renewed singing career. I don’t think Kate will automatically side with Kevin. How will she respond to what Kevin said to Randall while she is considering adoption? Obviously, we see her with Kevin at their birthday party but she could be there more for Madison. In terms of the adoption, maybe they will go the surrogate route? Or maybe Toby’s brother dies and they are the guardians? Toby’s adoption declaration mirrors Jack’s decision to adopt Randall.

Madison’s doctor seems to be a Dr. K in training. His wife may be dead. I feel Madison will die in childbirth. Which makes me sad. I like Madison. I just wished Kevin treated her better. Cassady’s reaction to Kevin’s name was so strange. She was about to throw up. I don’t want to participate in what was the worst game, but by saying that he wished Randall was never adopted, that means Kevin would never know Annie or Tess.

When Madison said she did not have her period for years, I was so sad for her. I look forward to Kate being there for Madison.

Maybe the reason Jack and his wife didn’t name their baby Rebecca is the others already named their kid Rebecca? Annie or Tess would have had a child sooner and had dibs. I am sad that with Kevin and Randall not talking that Tess, Annie and Déjà won’t interact with Kevin’s twins. Black don’t pack! Mandy Moore needs to win Emmys.

Did I miss it or did Zoey not mention her feelings for Simon? She tells Max that she will be 100% truthful but explains her not declaring her love for him based on some bleh fear of losing their friendship, but doesn’t mention that she happens to have feeling for another guy? I gather the brother and the wife are okay? I want to go back to that storyline, not some stupid Leif and Lorelei romance.

Was Skylar Astin always so hot? I did not know!

I don’t see how the writers are writing Randall in the right. They have the family refusing to speak to him and his therapist is arguing against it. Unless we will see Rebecca actually do the study and miraculously improve.

I think the imbalance of this episode could be attributed to Randall’s actual proposition. Alzheimer’s is generally viewed as an illness with no cure. I could be totally wrong about that but I think that is what the general population believes. Had Rebecca been diagnosed with cancer and Randall was pushing chemo on her in his Randall way, at least we as an audience could understand where Randall was coming from. An experimental treatment is not going to get the same benefit of the doubt.

I think Miguel is patient with Rebecca’s kids because his own kids treat Rebecca terribly too. At least the Big 3 are present in their parent’s life. There are still two seasons left, I suspect we will get more Miguel backstory next season.

I find it weird to set your mom up on a date, with your professor, one year after your dad’s death. Just saying. Yet, Kevin is the one who had the biggest issue with Miguel. Dave Annabel and Mandy worked together as a romantic pairing on some medical show, with Octavia Spencer. Name escapes me. There was one shot where Kid Kate looked so much like Teen Kate. The guilt Randall holds clearly explains why Teen Randall behaves the way he did.

I have no interest in Zoey breaking an engagement. I am far more interested in her brother and wife. Will there really be no follow through of that plot next week? Give Me a Reason was my favourite performance this series.

I too believe that when there’s a second season (not if!) that Lucia will be pregnant and will get an abortion. Ella could be that person to help her, which can help them bond.

Carter and Katherine is my favourite relationship. She should just start her own practice. Although given her background, she’d have no problem finding a new position.

What a wonderful season. This is my first new show of the decade I love. There has to be a second season! The Beto/Ella relationship is so well done. I can totally can see them staying together or growing apart, and I would be happy either way Ella provides a comic spice to the series. I am fond of them both. I am wondering what is happening in real life. Are kids whose parents are forced to go to Mexico being entered into the foster system? Even when there are viable familial support like an older brother? I can’t fathom the anger they hold. Rafa recognizing Ella? Beto and Val saying goodbye at the pool? Emilio seeing the baby seat? The show really touches me. This show must return! I have to say that something bad will have to occur for Rafa and Val to go back to the US? One of the parents die? Violence? Illness?

Great episode! The parents’ backstory was so rich. I wonder how much of their rift will be revealed next week. I also love how the English and Spanish was interchanged do fluidly. Ella will of course fly to Mexico, oh gawd the drama. But she provided that much needed levity. And this was my favourite Beto episode. His emotional maturity was most evident in his interaction with his dad.

Ooh, never thought of that. Do we know what Madison does for a living? I vaguely remember Madison taking Kate to all those fancy boutiques. Maybe Madison tried acting when she was younger but never got her break (which also can explain her low self esteem and body issues). They can frame it where Madison and Teen Kevin both lived in LA (never knowing each other, or maybe Madison knew him but he never paid her any attention), but where Madison only experienced failure, Kevin achieved success. We can also see what led Madison to attend an Eaters Anonymous group.

In the same way that Kate should allow Toby to say what he is feeling to her without punishment, I feel I am not going to punish Randall for what he said in the therapist's office. It's not like the show thought what Randall said (particularly about Kevin) was right. Having said that, I was having Randall-level anxieties that Randall and Rebecca would miss that doctor's appointment. I mean, traffic in LA is so unpredictable. ETA: Oops, I meant KEVIN and Rebecca would miss that appointment!

Madison was great tonight, it is sad that the younger versions of Kate never seemed to have a female BFF. Imagine Teen Madison existing in that world while Kate was with Marc? Miguel’s reaction to the MRI results broke my heart. The therapist is played by a relatively well known actress, Pamela Adlon. She is not Julia Roberts famous but not unknown either. The show not featuring her face was intentional, heightening Randall’s suspicion and distrust. When we were see her, she is smiling.
