I like how the writers seem to be really "shaking up" the lives of frequent characters these days. First you've got the Strausburgs, a family that's been around since '98 and is now separating (rather than Connie, who was brought to the show as the daughter in a broken family), and now the Washingtons, who have been around since the Novacom arc ended and are now adopting a (rather than the Mulligans, who came to the show and started adopting right from the beginning). These are families that we can relate to, and are now going through change. It really adds a great depth to the show.
One thing I was disappointed in was the fact that there was no closing to the storyline of Connie's book. That means that it definitely was erased. I was wishfully thinking that there would magically be another copy somewhere so that we could see what happened when she finally tried to publish it. However, this does add an interesting twist to Connie's story, and I completely understand why the writers did this. But I hope she tries re-writing it, even though I know I wouldn't want to if I had lost 650 pages of hard work!
Well, I wouldn't say this episode is "out of this world," but I did give it five stars. Great show!
You know this? How?noname wrote:Next week's will be about Eugene, the Hand Up organization, and Leonard's notion from CoD that the organization is a waste of time.
Anyway, I hope you're right. I really want at least one more LM ep this season. (Although I'd be mildly disappointed if there is no Christmas show this year.)
EDIT: never mind. I just heard the preview on whitsend.org. Can't wait.
