I think most of us are still reeling from Adam’s betrayal last week, and certainly Deborah who recaps the show for TWoP was most upset (although I think she feels more betrayed by the writing, which was partially redeemed by the kick-ass young actors) but we must move on.
In tonight’s episode, God urges Joan to do some spring-cleaning, and there’s some sort of scandal with the guidance counselor.
I knew that Tutman hadn’t slept with Chelsea. He didn’t come across as that stupid, and he did mention she was a troubled student.
Very cool to see Lishack up close and personal. And dayum, but she’s cute!
No police story! Wooohooo!
Helen is being a bit of a jerk. I hope Will gets her back on the straight and narrow. And for Og’s sake, woman, let your children do laundry!
How much you want to bet Lilly is still a virgin?
I liked the returning of the gifts at the end. Adam is so sad, realizing what he threw away, and I’m glad he got to keep a part of Joan. And Joan is not unwilling to overlook the good times, she she got to keep part of him. And the picture of the jail cell door just broke my heart.
Good stuff here. Luke swaggering. Grace a la Muffy. Joan taking an interest in what happens to other people. Will (“Listen to the priest”). Helen losing it. Price acting like a professional (never thought I’d say THAT) school administrator. Lischack literally throwing herself at newly grown-up Tuchman. Nice resolution between Joan and Adam - or at least the beginnings of same. GodFella (one of my favorites).
Couldn’t get too excited about Kevin and Lily for some odd reason.
Becky Wahlstrom is, what, 29? Do they paint on a couple of acne spots for close-ups?
I forgot about Grace turning preppie. It was actually hard for me to look at her, she looked so icky with the headband and all.
Cheers to Becky Wahlstrom for bringing such life to Grace that I cringed when she came in wearing ballerina slippers and pedal pushers. My eyes! My eyes!
No. She was the cousin/niece who died after watching the tape at the beginning of the movie.
Am I the only one who is losing interest in the show? It was a lot more appealing the first season I keep watching, hoping it will get really good again, but…
God’s done this before. As Cute Guy God told Joan, “Technically, everything is mine,” so it’s not a continuity error for him to walk out without paying.
Also, this was a new episode. Are you confused about somethign?
I could have sworn I’d seen this before. It might have been something similar from when I watched more sporadically.
When you wrote: I forgot about…, I thought maybe this was a re-run. That made me wonder if I was being really stupid in “predicting” that Joan and Adam would get back togather.
I was more curious about Jason’s “competence.” Sure, he can do the ‘pull-my-finger’ trick, but have they already dealt with the sexual issues surrounding his paralysis?
By focusing on the good, and letting bygones be bygones. I had a two-year relationship twenty-five years ago that ended badly (she done me wrong, was unfaithful, etc.), but not a day goes by that I don’t think fondly of the good times we had.
