No replies. Not a good sign. This show is not the same. I will be shocked if it isn’t cancelled

Spurting up to middle Dewey just as young Dewey is spurting naturally was weird and does leave little room for young Dewey going forward.

With The eldest young  Rock just hitting his wrestling apex I guess Govenator passing the torch so to speak in The Rundown to close the series.

Yeah, the growth spurt thing seems like a set-up to just remove the youngest Dewey out of the picture for good.  If so, hopefully Adrian Groulx finds other work elsewhere, because he did pretty good with all the material that was given to him.

Great seeing Andre again and getting all of The Princess Bride references.  Only got a variation of Rob Reiner though.  Was hoping for a variation of Cary Elwes or Mandy Patinkin!

Have no idea what I'm suppose to make of the prime minister's sudden turn/betrayal.  Was that always on the cards?  Or was she trying to save face over the whole mountain name controversy?  Wish I could care more.

It was weird but it was probably as good a time as any to age up the character. Looking at the episode guides the Hawaii parts of this episode took place in 1986. The Nashville episodes last season took place in 1987.
