paramitch August 10, 2018 Share August 10, 2018 I liked this, although I felt that it almost went too dark overall -- poor Cole. Was anyone else distracted by how much the actress cast as Miss Stacy looks like Anne? I mean, to a really remarkable degree? For the first few minutes she was onscreen, I actually thought she WAS Anne (literally until she passed her on the road). I hope Cole and Anne reconcile soon -- I hate them being estranged, especially when Anne did nothing wrong. 2 Link to comment

Her whole “I was just decorating my new home. It’s amazing what you can do with potatoes!” line was totally something Anne would say. 8 Link to comment
Camera One August 27, 2018 Share August 27, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure I liked that Miss Stacey was basically a grown-up Anne, with the non-stop chattering and getting into scrapes. Miss Stacey was supposed to be a role model, but she can't even be punctual for a job interview? Why would the "progressive mothers" have so much power to choose her over the other candidates? I did like the electricity lesson with Marilla watching, though. This episode was hard to watch because Anne was acting like a total brat. Was she supposed to be that insensitive to blather about what happened to Prissy in front of the whole class? I'm not sure why Miss Stacey asked her to repeat what she said to the class, or why she didn't shut Anne down right away. The writers were framing this as Anne needed to be liked, but it didn't feel natural. The sudden antagonism towards Gilbert for accelerating his studies felt contrived as well. Her interjections at the school were obnoxious. It was sad to see Anne's hideaway and the statues be destroyed. And to think it was partly because Anne left food for the fox so the boys followed the fox there. The fight between Anne and Cole was well done, though there was a lot of misunderstandings to go around. In the other subplot, Gilbert also came off like a jerk for abandoning the plan to teach Sebastian how to farm (we haven't actually seen Gilbert farming, but he's supposed to be knowledgeable?). I don't know why it took them that long to reveal that Gilbert and Sebastian were planning to spend 2 years getting the farm back up and running. The budding romance was nice, but it didn't feel like the same show. It was a nice shout-out to the book to have Rachel Lynde knitting by the window and watching who drove by. Overall, everything just felt too over-dramatic, and a lot of the main characters were too unlikeable for this episode to be enjoyable. I'm afraid that Cole will get into a lot of trouble for Billy Andrews getting injured. Edited August 27, 2018 by Camera One 5 Link to comment

But that's not why Billy shot the statues and destroyed Anne's hideaway. He did because he is a badass who likes to hurt others. He especially hates Anne and Cole who are "different" - but also gifted. 2 Link to comment
Bec November 19, 2018 Share November 19, 2018 I think "ass" is the word here, not "badass", just "ass", or "jackass" if you want a more fancy choice of words. Heh. Team Cole all the way in the Cole vs Billy fight. No sympathy for that jackass Billy. He had it coming. Until this episode, Billy never did get any comeuppance for messing up Cole's hand so that he can't draw anymore, did he? Douchenozzles who revel in causing destruction are the reason we can't have nice things. 5 Link to comment

He definitely didn't get any comeuppance for that. Knocking over the ladder was mean-spirited and borderline criminal. His parents should have been spoken to.

BetyBee January 28, 2021 Share January 28, 2021 It took until this episode for this series to do what I never thought could happen to me. I don't like Anne. Not this Anne anyway. I'm sick of her shouting and interrupting and never thinking of anyone but herself. Link to comment

She feels compassion towards others and is eager to help them but because she speaks and acts without thinking first and has so little experience, she tends to do harm f.ex. by gossiping.
