LOL. I guess that makes Natalie Season 6's Mark Cyr! She sneaks her way into the family portrait, only to exit their lives shortly after, rendering the picture obsolete.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it, but hey, no facial hair can be as awful as Mark Cyr's.

And I will miss you!

After a couple of episodes that felt very Max-centric (and got most of us peeved), can we please have Max (and Dylan by association) be absent from the next two or three?

I agree about Erika Christensen. Reminds me of how my heart broke for her at the end of Season 3 when she realized she wasn't getting the baby. (Little did she know how much worse off she was going to be!)

Love it. Also, in that Instagram pic you posted, Jane Levy's hairdo is similar to the awful one Haddie sported at the beginning of Season 3.

While we're referencing "Parks and Recreation" (can NBC announce the premiere date already?), CineCraft's comment got me thinking about Ben Wyatt as the infamous 18-year-old mayor of Partridge. Kristina would probably have done about as badly as the mayor of Berkeley.

I thought Julia telling her mom that Joel was "weak" was lame, too. (I hoped Camille would knock some sense into her, but I guess it was too late; these conversations should have taken place in Season 5, because they're basically futile at this point.)
Julia has no business blaming it all on him when her little affair…

Crazy thought: What if they had done a Kickstarter to raise money so all of the key cast members (or at least the important majority of them) could appear in each of the final season's thirteen episodes? Wonder if that would have succeeded.

LOL at the pepper spray comment! Fingers crossed we get it in the DVD bloopers.

Please no more flash forwards this season! Even if it means not seeing Amber give birth.

While I prefer Hank to Mark Cyr and his creepy facial hair, I don't really care to see another person on this show dealing with such communication issues — having Max is enough for me. I did like that in this episode Hank finally came to realize what it was like for Sandy, always reduced to being the "bad cop" whereas…

She shouldn't be expected to know how to navigate that situation, I agree. But since she clearly knew all along she could never like Max the way he does her, she had no business spending the night at his house on more than one occasion. Why would a 15-year-old girl do that if she only sees him as a friend? I'm not…

Agreed about Crosby. His latest hissy fit was all the more annoying given Amber was right next to him, in pain and trying to get his attention, but he was too busy engaging in a fight with the bouncer.

Caught that too (and I'm not even a native English speaker). I had closed captioning on, so there was no mistaking what Renee said. Definitely weird.

The video is so wonderfully random. Thanks for sharing!

Kristina calling Max "babe" felt odd to me as well, especially since she did it when he least deserved her affection. She should have been saying "I am so disappointed in you" instead.

There's a spinoff for you! Coming to Netflix in 2022.

You are so right and it didn't occur to me for a second (which is why I love going over the comments here). But I guess the forming of cliques is inevitable, even in such an environment that is meant to be inclusive. Kids will be kids. Also, when Max was looking for Dylan, he was being a jerk to everyone who crossed…

Ditto to everything you said. Well, almost everything, as I can't bring myself to feel sorry for Max. But the show never tried to make him sympathetic, it seems.
