Oh, the Mama Smash at the end had me in tears, too - Smash, you finally did the right thing, sunshine (and Coach's intervention, when he keeps looking pointedly at Noelle every time she intervenes? Loved it).
Yeah, I'm with you - many things have gone right this time. The Shelley thing was great, the Julie apology was overdue, but good, and i am a little apprehensive as to what will happen with Ferret man and his guns. Because, Timmy, if I wanted to be discreet about stealing cash, I wouldn't enter with my key, and take my stuff away, is all I'm sayin'...
Smash, you finally did the right thing, sunshine *nods* And with Coach's intervention he was able to do so in a way that meant he didn't lose face--which I think is very important for him. I think he was very glad to be able to please his mother in the end.
And yeah, Tim was totally obvious about the money. Hmm... Tim's stuff is missing and the cash is missing--even the drug-fucked could work that one out.
Yes! I really enjoyed this episode, although I also wish Tim hadn't stolen the money, just because that dealer wouldn't think twice about killing him for doing something like that. EEP.
I actually miss Jason most of all. WHERE IS HE. I don't recall main characters being so neglected for such long stretches last season.
I miss Jason too but I think I'd heard that he was off doing filming. And they did kind of write him out a bit by having him resign as coach and move out of (away from?) home. I'm sure he'll be back though!
Oh, you are more generous to Julie than I am! I had no faith she would confess. And while I definitely agree that Coach was the perfect father in that speech, I didn't mention it because I was still so mad at her. More proof that I would suck as a parent! Because I feel she's a little too comfy as daddy's precious little angel. I guess I would like Coach to back up his words (I'm sure he will) and not leave it to Tami to do the disciplining. But yes, you are right.
How heart-wrenching for us to Tim actually steal money and then immediately after to have the Coach praise him for what an "honorable" guy he is. *nods* I loved that scene and I'm really glad Coach said it. But what a heartbreaker! You're probably right about Billy being more likely to cop it.
I was conflicted at first about Julie telling the truth because it was very predictable that she would do exactly what she did - agonize for most of the episode and then finally do the right thing. It would have probably been more realistic for her to have blacked the whole thing out, given how drunk she was. But then I decided that 1., Coach walking in last episode was a total cliche 2. It's sort of fitting to fix one cliche with another cliche, 3., Would I rather Coach stay mad at Tim? No. So it worked for me
( ... )
*giggles* re. your rationalising Julie's confession--I think I had much the same argument with myself.
A burden to have such awesome parents you think? Hmm. I had not thought of it that way--but I can see your point. I guess it could get irritating to never see them less than poised and loving and ready to deal with whatever came along... though I don't think Julie thinks Tami's the perfect mom. ;)
I DID get your message--we have been slow, I'm very sorry. I say post your story! I do hope to have the next challenge up this week but no promises. So seize the moment!
