It only took me a year and a half but I finally binged the 3 episode wedding finale. I'm not sure why I waited so long - other than I really liked the college graduations as a series finale. 

Overall, I liked the extended finale. Interesting to see Stef as a social worker - complete with a softer wardrobe. I thought the choice to have Corey's mother recover - and for Stef/Lena to lose the chance to adopt him - was also interesting. It shows a different side of the foster care system. I loved seeing the flashbacks during the wedding ceremony - so many of my favorite series moments were there. Surprising that Mike was only in one short scene; I liked that Eliza's parents mentioned that Brandon's dad was married to the twins' birth mom. The final scenes in front of the newly sold house were very good: the family reuniting and then going their own ways as adults. 

I don't watch Good Trouble because my main interest are the Mamas but I will tune into the upcoming Christmas episode when the whole family comes back again. It's a shame that Freeform didn't decide to spinoff the Mamas but that would likely skew too old for their viewers. 

Terrific show - This extended finale reminded me how much I miss it.

I'm rewatching from the beginning. I love my TV mamas. They are goals. I am also too happy to skip over the Ana stuff.

Today the cast are doing a virtual table read for the pilot. (except Noah Centineo is playing Jesus)

I started watching this again and then I saw a pretty big goof I hadn't noticed before: In the episode Callie meets her father (Donald) he says that she is just like her mother but then she meets her actual biological father and he has a daughter that looks just like Callie. So how can Callie be just like her mother and a girl from a different mother just like her?

Stef and Lena are by far the most awesome thing to come out of The Fosters! I love them so much. Agreed that Freeform likely isn't the right fit, but it would be so great to see them show up somewhere!
