Sorry everybody. I started writing 7x12, but I'm just not gonna be able to finish it.
I'll be back on the 2nd, and it looks like we'll close things out the week of the 26th. See you then!
This blog is complete! What an adventure. There's a ton of great discussion to look through, and I'll reply to new comments as "Sean" rather than "ConfidenceKBM."
This is actually a really good episode (compared to the rest of this garbage season, it's freaking Emmy-worthy) and it deserves its proper attention. Have a great week off ConfidenceKBM!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm..... I may disagree. It has the, shall we say, pageantry of a good episode. But it almost, to me, seems like a facsimile of a good episode than an actual good episode. It has everything you think you'd want in a good episode - angst, Shawn drama with his family, but I think they're lazy about it and still fly in the face of Boy Meets World is supposed to be. Eric's funny, but too stupid, and also literally expresses a willingness to let his sister die, which I can not get past. This isn't fucking Family Guy. These are supposed to be real people. And the whole 'revelation' about Shawn's mother is slapdash. Oh and let's throw in Shawn's poorly realized alcoholism for good measure! Oh yeah, and remember how Alan's always been clearly a Navy vet and how thats an important part of who he is - golden gloves, not going to college because he fought int he navy, etc. TURNS OUT NOPE! HE WAS A COOK IN THE COAST GUARD! ALAN MATTHEWS IS JUST A LOSER AND IT MAKES NO SENSE AND I HATE EVERYTHING. There's some good scenes - Alan being willing to adopt Shawn, and the scene on the streets when Shawn almost thinks Cory didn't run after him, and then "Of course, I came after you." which is actually one of this series' best moments, in fairness. But, while I agree that by Season 7 standards it's an Emmy caliber episode, by my standards, it's shit like almost all of his season.
DeleteFair point. What I really like the ending. The scene in the graveyard gets us to bring back Chet for a bit and the Alan/Shawn relationship to me is one of the underrated ones in the series. I try and ignore Stupid Eric.
DeleteI swear to God I'm gonna come down to your street and beat the shit out of you
ReplyDelete(seeya next month, enjoy your thing)
ConfidenceKBM, old sport. Upon the realization that this blog is truly almost over, I have a kernel of an idea I'd like us to discuss. How can we best go about this?
ReplyDeleteChristian, old bean, are you on reddit? I totally understand if you want to keep your reddit name a secret though.
DeleteI'm an old fogey who does no social media besides Facebook, so no, but it took me like 2 seconds to sign up so... yeah, now I am! cmissonak
DeleteI'm going to cry when this blog ends.
ReplyDeleteI really am going to be so sad when this is all over. Its always really fun to read your reviews on a show I loved a lot (loved so much and hated certain episodes but even I would take some of the terrible episodes over some of the stupid stuff on tv today) and your reviews always made me smile. I also loved the few times when I posted a comment and you would re edit the blog to post the little bit of info I may have shared in a comment. It made me smile that you actually read the comments. I will miss the blog.
ReplyDeletewonderful post, very informative. I wonder why the opposite experts of this sector do not realize this.
ReplyDeleteYou should continue your writing. I am sure,
you have a great readers’ base already!
