Proofread, please! "make piece"?

I didn't think she was unlikeable at all, actually. I thought she started out great. Interesting, even. And then he stopped knowing what to do with her. At the same time, the two male characters were phenomenal. Mitchell, especially. It's been a while since I read the book. Can't remember any more the particulars that…

It had one of the most poorly written and uninteresting female characters I've ever encountered.

This episode scared the living daylights out of me.

Such an authentic portrayal of a family, with some amazing performances thrown in. The story itself is something that resonates very closely with me: I, too, was once one half of a troubled sister-sister relationship, albeit troubled in a different way. But that's what makes me attest so passionately for its…

The Julia-Joel-Victor scene was absolutely fantastic. I don't usually cry (not even when Amber is at her tragic best), but that scene broke me. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am a teacher, and that I also love the slow breaking of a marriage that Julia and Joel are going through and how that s impacting their…

I especially agree about Ryan making progress - it's sad. It's also somewhat realistic, but I do hope that Amber and Ryan call off the engagement but stick together and work it out.

I think she chose not to have a veto- like she just left it to him, and didn't really participate in the decision making although she very well could have.

Owen dropping by and reducing Alicia to a romantic, emotional fool was so frustrating for me. I will not argue that her relationship with Will played no role in her decision to join Cary, and the kind of bumbling idiots (like Anthony, ugh) they teamed up with to create this firm is testimony to the fact that Alicia…

SO funny. I actually liked this episode for how much it gave nearly every cast member other than Samberg to do. Easily an A-

Honestly, I hated the debate scene. Kristina never actually answered the woman's question! She said she would make every child's education her personal priority, but what changes was she going to make? I think most voters look for concrete answers and not rhetoric of that kind. Anyone running for a public position has…

Also: Seriously, Diane? "I don't like betrayal."
SERIOUSLY?
It was just two weeks ago that YOU completely betrayed Will. COME ON.
Matt Czuchry had the most amazing "Are you f**king kidding me right now?" face.

I thought as much. That sort of thing is going to be Cary's biggest problem: Julianna Margulies plays Alicia's quiet strengths with such subtlety that we often forget how brilliant she is - always thinking a step or two ahead of other attorneys in court, or, like in this episode, changing her game at every turn to…

Question (and sorry if someone else already addressed this): Did Cary realise he had been brutally played by Kalinda?

The scene in which Ryan gives Sarah the answers she's been looking for was absolutely terrific: Matt Lauria brings his A-game and makes Ryan even more likable, but the true brilliance of the scene, for me, was in Lauren Graham's face reacting, slowly, to everything Ryan was saying. As his little speech continued, I…

I thought this episode was Parenthood returning to its original strengths. (Except for the Kristina Mayor storyline which should be shot and killed and its body should be hung from a tree in TV's town square so everyone knows what not to do to good television.)

I agree with nearly everything you've said (most emphatically your views concerning the Victor storyline), EXCEPT about Ryan, Amber, and Sarah. I completely but Ryan and Amber's relationship, mostly because I do not believe that being attracted to someone or loving someone has anything to do with having something in…

DEFINITELY agree about Drew. I was SO curious about how track 9 works its magic. Really annoying end after a bunch of great scenes.

"worship at the alters of kozil and ravitch" hahaha - but I agree, there are private schools that would be ideal for a kid like victor.

Except for the Kristina (and Sarah) storyline (in which Adam again refuses to grow a spine), I really enjoyed this episode.
Every good offering of a TV show like Parenthood needs some escapist, unreal fun, and I thought the Drew-roommate-Ryan storyline had that in wonderful measure. Ridiculous fun to see Sgt. York in…
