Rebecca July 27, 2016 Share July 27, 2016 (edited) I don't think a kid that's one year older, in the same grade even, is a big deal at all. Nothing like a hs freshman and a college freshman/sophomore. Has it been established which year Josh is in? Edited July 27, 2016 by Rebecca 2 Link to comment
Kromm July 27, 2016 Author Share July 27, 2016 59 minutes ago, Rebecca said: I don't think a kid that's one year older, in the same grade even, is a big deal at all. It is if lets say... Lucas is a year older and in the same grade as Maya, and Maya is a year older and in the same grade as Riley. Or rather, we are the very least know for sure that Maya is older ENOUGH compared to Riley that it's been commented on a few times--and that Riley was 12 when the show started and Maya was 13. I mean this assumes that line about Lucas being a year older than everyone else is literally true. It may be more reasonable to assume Zay was misspeaking and perhaps its as simple as Lucas AND Maya both being on the older end, and the others the younger end. That would make far more sense. They'd both be graduating High School at age 19, but... I suppose we'll just have to live with that (the reason it's rare is because a school term is not really a year--it's 9 months--and the deadline for what school year you wind up usually take that into account so that there isn't typically more than 6 months difference in age between most kids).

KerleyQ July 27, 2016 Share July 27, 2016 I still don't think that's a big deal. When I was in high school (back in the 80's), it was fairly common for, say a sophomore to date a senior. So, two kids who are in the same grade but one is on the youngest end of that grade's spectrum, and the other is older because they had to repeat a year, is really not a big deal or "icky." They're in the same grade and, therefore, in a lot of ways, in the same place in life. A two year age difference in teens dating is nothing unusual or inappropriate. 3 Link to comment

bagert July 28, 2016 Share July 28, 2016 I don't know what the cutoff date for what grade you attend in the NYC public school system is in real life, but it appears that in the GMW universe, it is January 1. That's how Riley's 15th will be on December 8, 2016 and Maya's 16th birthday will be in early January 2017 and they are in the same grade (9th) without anything else involved. (Yes, either the show is in the future or they need to push back the start date of the series - see my post above about covering two grades both this year and - if renewed - next to get to graduation.)

FrumiusManxome July 30, 2016 Share July 30, 2016 Wonky timelines in shows just drive me mad. It's not that hard to keep one down if you just take the time to set a simple one up. It annoys me that I have to put in so much effort to make some sense. Especially with a show like GMW where I feel as if they're purposely manipulating it to force their stories. Also, the cut off date where I live is August 1st. I forgot other places have it different. GMW wins this round, for now. I like the idea of a guest star packed season/series finale, but I'm afraid the execution will be poorly done. Link to comment
Spencer Hastings July 30, 2016 Share July 30, 2016 I'm interested to see how they handle the Morgans. It would be cute to keep switching them but that might be too meta. Since the original is a brunette and looks the most like the rest of the Matthews clan (none of them look alike, let's be real), have Lily Nicksay be Morgan and let Lindsay Ridgeway play Maya's aunt or something. There are a couple of workarounds, I'm just glad they thought to bring both girls back! Link to comment

FrumiusManxome July 30, 2016 Share July 30, 2016 I've never been fazed by the rumors of a series finale. Disney has been known to make weird decisions, but as long as they've got somewhat decent ratings it'll be fine. And I'm sure it's a defensive mechanism to film a season finale that could function as the series finale. Even if you tie everything up it's really easy to continue with your show despite that. Especially when half the cast is guest appearances. The only downside is that they won't be able to do the same thing if they *do* get a 4th season. So the series finale will definitely lack the punch this finale has. 1 Link to comment

bagert August 5, 2016 Share August 5, 2016 The first thing that struck me about the large-group shot is that it is not some perfect Christmas-card picture (Auggie is distracted, Josh is not paying attention, Mr. Turner's face is partially hidden behind Josh's). Seems right for this bunch LOL This episode gives the chance for characters that have not met on-screen since BMW to do so, such as Eric and Feeny (of course), Shawn and his mentor/father-figure Mr. Turner, Stuart Minkus and both Shawn and Feeny, and the Morgan(s) with everyone else! How about this for trivia: when Minkus guest-starred in the Season 5 graduation episode after being gone for 4 years, when leaving one scene they had him calling out to an unseen Mr. Turner, who had not been seen since the end Season 4 (and would not be seen until GMW). Minkus may finally catch up to him, and meet Turner on-screen for the first time! LOL 2 Link to comment

Luckylyn August 14, 2016 Share August 14, 2016 (edited) There are clips available from the upcoming episode Girl Meets Real World. Riley really comes off as annoying. I don't mind that she's an optimist but I do mind that the writers make her look ridiculously naive to the point of being an idiot. I don't care that her friends try hide how the real world works from her. There's tv and the internet, and Riley has eyes and ears. Plus, she knows Sean's backstory with his family. It's unrealistic that we're supposed to buy how sheltered she is. That bad things can happen should not be news to Riley. Also, she's rude to Zay to make a point to the others and that's just so unlikable. I prefer the Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything) approach to optimism where he's aware of bad things but still strives to be positive. Lloyd wasn't a fool; he was determined to find happiness in things. Cameron Crowe referred to it as "Optimism as a revolutionary act." Edited August 14, 2016 by Luckylyn 3 Link to comment
