I for one was okay with Season 5 being the last season and was
particularly happy with what could have been the Series Finale.
But I have to admit, watching the premiere for Season 6, I was
kinda happy to see the show back for one last season. There's
just something about the dynamic and the chemistry this group of
actors have with one another that makes watching the
show....easy. As for the episode, it picks up a few months later
from the conclusion of last season and even though it was
suggested in the finale, Joel and Julia are not back together.
Not only that, but she is banging what appears to be her boss.
Douchey looking actor. The story line just leaves a bad taste in
my mouth. I hope they get them together sooner rather than later
as I will no doubt tire of the plot.
The main thing that happens in this episode centers around Zeke,
who is celebrating his birthday in Vegas with Sarah when he
collapses. Even though it's ruled not a heat attack and he seems
to be fine. This is definitely the beginning of a much bigger
story line for the rest of the season and will most likely be
some fatal thing that is happening. I really hope its not
because I don't want the show to end on a downer. Very surpsied
to see Haddie (Sarah Ramos) back. She was the last person I
expected to see, even though I was thinking about her character
during the opening credits. Not sure if it's permanent or not. I
would think so given that this is the last season. Looks like
Besty Brandt is joining the cast as well, playing Hank's
Ex-Wife.

Well I would highly doubt anything would end on a downer.

Happy Birthday, Zeek

Entire episode was about the family trying in vein to convince
Zeek to get his heart operation. Zeek being Zeek, he is stubborn
and refuses to listen to anyone, even when they are clearly
scared that they will listen to him. All it takes is for Amber
to finally tell him that she is pregnant, which of course
thrills him to hear that he is going to be a Great Grandparent.
Now he will do the surgery. I knew it was gonna happen this way.
It was cliched because I've seen variations of this particular
plot point. With that said, it worked because of their scene
together. So, Amber is coming to terms with being pregnant (or
trying to come to terms that is). That can only mean one thing:
Crying Amber! I can only imagine how many headaches Mae has had
since starting Parenthood. To cry as much as she has over the
course of the series, one would think she would have a constant
migraine.

Too funny about Amber.
When my wife had it on, I walked in when Amber was crying and we
both just busted out laughing without saying a word.
That's all I saw.
I wonder if she's been typecast as the girl who cry's?

The Waiting Room

With the writers ramping up the story line that I thought would
be the entire season, they rush Zeek to the hospital for his
heart surgery. For the entire hour, there was this sense of
impending doom, dread hanging over. I was on edge for a lot of
reasons. You have Zeek in a life and death situation, you have
Crosby crashing his motorcycle, you have Amber and Drew driving
up to tell Ryan she is having his baby, you have Julia telling
Joel she is seeing someone else because she feels like he is
smothering her with affection. You have Sarah basically having
to "parent" Hank's own daughter to the point of having to narc
on her for shoplifting. Solid episode, but not an easy one to
sit through. I'm actually exhausted after this episode.

A Potpourri of Freaks

I kinda like the idea of the school beacuse it gives Adam,
Kristina and Max more to do on the show. The new character Dylan
(she's a girl) can add a lot to the show now. For starters,
she's going to be Kristina's worst nightmare....but for Max,
they are setting up a possible love interest for him which will
be great. He needs a girlfriend and I'm curious to see how the
writers handle this. The other thread in this episode had to do
with Zeek and his lack of desire to even recuperate. Simple
exercises. I can relate as I tried in vain to get my Grandma to
do hers and she wouldn't. So frustrating. So, I could relate to
Camille. Leave it up to Kristina to play the cancer card to
finally motivate him at the end. Solid episode all around. I
wonder what they are setting up for Crosby. Jasmine pretty much
is running the household and her forbidding him to drive his
motocycle, which ends up doing at the end to spite her says a
lot. Splitsville perhaps?

The Scale of Affection Is Fluid

It was fun watching Adam and Kristina navigating uncharted
waters of Max pursuing the girl he likes. Unfortunately Adam
isn't as clear as he thinks he is in giving out advice because
Max takes that to mean that 'Stalking' is the way to get to know
a girl and lets not forget about him getting a bunch of books
are how to get the ladies into bed. Funny stuff. I hope this has
a happy end for Max by the end of this season if not sooner.
Hey, Amber told some guy that she liked that she was pregnant so
that she would be honest and upfront with him from the start. He
bailed. On a positive note, she didn't cry. ;D Not so positive
is Joel's reaction to finding out that Julia's new boyfriend was
as her parents BBQ and playing Basketball with Joel's kids. He
reaction was totally in line. Team Joel ftw! Not sure if her
relationship is legit or if it's just a way to get back at him.

Too Big to Fail

Wow, they just jumped 3 months forward into the future of the
series. This obviously has a lot to do with the limited number
of episodes left and can't wrap everything up, especially
Amber's pregnancy if they didn't do a time jump. Just odd to see
because they have never done that until now. Given that Amber is
now 3 months pregnant and only 7 episodes left, I expect another
time jump as well. The whole situation with Dylan has always
seemed a bit odd and now it all makes perfect sense. She only
"liked" Max in order to gain access to his family because she
has a "bad" relationship with her own and basically "adopted"
the Braverman's as her surrogate family. With that said, I do
see Dylan and Max sharing that first kiss before the series
wraps and her actually falling for him. They have to give Max a
great send off because it's gonna leave a bitter taste if they
teased this all season long with no pay off.
The other half of the episode dealt primarily with money issues.
Both Crosby and Adam are feeling the squeeze because the
Luncheonette is not bringing in the business it once did and
it's affecting their personality because they can't provide for
their respective families. Factor in that Amber is prego and
wants a raise (which she actuall deserves by the way) and you
have a recipe for a panic attack all around. The one thing I
really liked is that Drew, of all people, is willing to change
his major in College to better his chances of getting a better
paying job immediately once he is out of school, just so that he
can support Amber and her child. Overall, a fantastic episode.
FYI, Sarah gets major props in her efforts to make Hank more
relatable to his daughter Ruby by forcing him to watch The
Breakfast Club. ;D Love it!

These Are The Times We Live In

Looks like another time jump. Based on Amber's baby bump, I'm
guessing between 1-2 months since the previous episode. Very
interesting episode that had me on edge. Watching Max's meltdown
because Amber didn't have the "skills" to raise a family would
make anyone crack under pressure. So, she cried. I give her a
pass. Zeek wanted to spend time with Drew also had me on edge
because he was carrying and waving a gun in public and didn't
think what he was doing was wrong. This had me feeling like he
was starting to lose it mentally. But he turns it around with
his pep talk with Joel to go and fight for Julia and the kids.
Not sure why Joel waited until the divorce papers to finally do
just that. The cliffhanger has him at her doorstop, telling her
he is going to fight to save their marriage. Too little too
late? I hope not. This story needs a happy ending. Hank finally
confesses to he Ex-Wire that he has Asperger syndrome and that
their marital woes was on him and not her. This small little
gesture seems to have awaken her feelings for him.....which
leaves Sarah as the odd woman out. Curious to see how this plays
out.
