I actually don't think Evan is being ridiculous. It's only ridiculous that he didn't snap sooner, and that he's choosing to do it now when there's so little time left (and they're wasting the penultimate episode on a musical theme). But of course Evan doesn't know any of that. It's just a shame they didn't do this sooner so we could have actually been kinda invested in it.

I was interested to see where they were going with the toothy homeowner's diagnosis because I have a sore swollen knee that I assume is arthritis and a weird spotty patch on my shin.

YEEEEOW!!!

 

 

Oh, look, Stumblebum Evan's going all papabear.  How cute. [/s]

Are they kidding with spending the next-to-last hour on this very special musical episode?  How narcissistic.

Maybe they'll cap it off with Eddie jumping over the shark Boris had in that tank...that would be a fitting end to the series.

I agree. There's usually 1 or 2 cast members that can sing and/or dance passably. The rest are usually painful to watch/listen to. I may skip this one just because total narcissism! Ugh.

I like this idea! Totally brilliant. Take it even a step further, Eddie jumps the shark, then it eats him. Also a fitting cap for Shark Week!

At least then something would happen-I fell asleep twice trying to watch this drivel. I am clearly just hate watching at this point. Seriously, did anything happen other than Fonzy having heart trouble in their old home, Hank doing some simple McGyver stuff and watching the moment of conception.....through a microscope!

You just know that they will clearly tie  this all up with a nice little bow at the end with a happy ending for all!

I'd rather see the shark turn on Boris first. 

The Divya story is so incredibly dumb. All her scenes are just filler.

The reason for Eddie's disappearance is asinine. They didn't need to bring him back.

Too bad Evan and Paige didn't just adopt. I would rather have seen the new family adjust than watch this boring drivel.

The show is gasping to the finish line.

Shows that the TPTB were right in their decision to pull the plug on the show.  There is nothing compelling about this season that would make me want to continue to watch.

If I were as anxious to have a baby as Evan and Paige, I would do whatever the doctor said to maximize the chance of success and minimize the chance of error (so long as it was ethical and legal). If I couldn't bear to do that, I should have worked this out with a more compliant doctor before the process began.  What if being observed made the lab tech nervous and she inadvertently wasted some of the limited resources?  Why would Evan pull rank and risk tainting the procedure,thereby creating non-viable embryos that would cause great emotional distress to Paige?  So foolish.

I have a vague memory of Hank and Evan in an apartment with their sick mother yrs ago. After Eddie ran out. Did I imagine it?

Seems a bit convenient for Eddie to go to an unused empty (but very clean and fully furnished) house that he just happened to still own  to recover from his heart surgery..

Go Jeremiah!

The arrogance just galls me. "Is it wrong to place all my eggs in one basket?" Yes, it is. Go to Stonybrook. Can you really wait 4 years? You know what won't take long? Going to Stonybrook. Because you got accepted there.

I wish there was more Evan/Paige this season. I feel like she took off for most of it. 

Please tell me I wasn't the only person who laughed at the toothy woman's reaction to syphalis?

I was hoping they were going with this too. That would have been more interesting. I typically like Evan, but when you're the boss and you threaten to pull funding; that's illegal. Not to mention about potential contamination, as it was already said. Otherwise, I don't really have a problem with Evan telling Eddie off.
