Episode Discussion #412: "You're A Good Man, Andy Brown"
 

Thanks, Betty! :hug:

OMG the Andy and Ephram scene at the beginning was SO HILARIOUS. I love when Ephram was like "are you a surgeon?" When he couldn't figure out the computer. Then when he was like "your social life has surpassed mine" and Andy was like "I'm flirting with a computer" or whatever the dialogue was... that was SO FUNNY. :love: I love their banter so much and am so happy they have come to this point where they get along.

Nina don't you realize you are always leaning on Andy and having issues with Jake? Good God woman, figure out your life. :lol: inviting Andy to dinner was so inappropriate. I don't think that Jake wold like that considering their history.

Harold has a right not to want to perform abortions, and Amy can't be upset that he says no to it. I like that he said her opinions were her own. With that said I do understand Amy's perspective. She was overreacting though. A lot of people have differing opinions on the matter. But I did like that she went to Andy about it. Surprised to see her professor interested in Andy?

It was a nice scene between Delia and Andy this episode but I still feel like the drama from last week was sort of skipped over? Did she ever explain what was going on with her?

Poor Kyle. His dad not showing up is such an a hole thing to do. I am glad that Ephram is there for him as a friend. It was interesting to find out that Ephram was holding onto guilt about his own child and how he thinks about him a lot. Who wouldn't? Why can't he see his child again? Remind me what happened there? I feel like he needs to be in that kids life to feel whole. I wouldnt be able to know I had a kid out there and not at least reach out to them.

:thumbs_up: One of my favorite Andy/Ephram scenes of the series. It was extra special because like you said, they have come such a long way so to see them bantering with love and caring behind the banter is just awesome and such a sweet pay off for their characters and the fans too. :)

Amen. LOL It's insane. Nina isn't this dense. What bothers me is Nina knew she had feelings for Andy throughout Andy/Linda and Andy/Amanda. She knew this. Suddenly when she can totally be with him she's acting all clueless. Yes, the realness could scare her so she has put herself in denial but still... she needs to face reality here... kick Jake to the curb and be with Andy... it's what you've wanted for years!

It's so interesting to see this because in season 1, Harold had to go there when Andy couldn't. It's kind of nice to see that Harold went there for Andy and as a physician in season 1. However, it doesn't mean he wanted to do it regularly and it's his decision too. Amy can be persistent, that is for sure, lol. I loved how she went to Andy too. A nice reminder that Andy and Amy did grow closer when Ephram was in NYC after Amy came home from being with Ephram and before Ephram finished up in NYC.

It sucks that this seemed so choppy, I totally agree.

Exactly. We found out from Madison in NYC (at the worst time possible) that Madison went ahead and had the child adopted so his child was already settled with the adopted parents. Ephram even went to the house, looked on, and that was basically the end of the story. I guess Ephram felt like he didn't have the option of seeing him now. That's why I would love to see a reunion of the series (like 15-20 years into the future) and we'd find out Ephram (and Amy) had a relationship with his son in addition to Ephram/Amy having kids too.

I see you changed your name back!

Yeah the Nina stuff doesn't make sense. Its obvious the show is just trying to stall them but I wish it made more sense.

I wish we had more scenes between Andy and Amy considering they are family.(;) ) And it gives me such joy to think about Harold and Andy being family too because their kids are married (in the future). Just love that.

I remember him going to the house but I couldnt remember what happened after that. So he just decided not knock on the door? I dont understand why he wouldnt at least try to contact them at ask if he would be able to visit with his son? I understand if maybe the family didn't want him to have contact or whatever, but it would nice to see Ephram at least try.

Seeing Ephram/Amy in the future with their kids and then Ephram's son would be SO FREAKING ADORABLE. :thud:

I did! :)

Have you had any screen names before your current one?

100% it was just to stall, nothing more, and it sucks because it sort of messed with the character of Nina.

Yes and yes! :D Love both realities.

Totally agree. Yep, he just sat in his car and looked at the front entrance of the place, but didn't knock on the door or contact them. Totally agree contacting them and even setting up a visit would have been nice and good for Ephram too. It would have been great with the "maybe" as far as eventually Ephram getting to know him in the future too, like the adopted parents even telling him he can visit when he wants.

:nod: Right?! :love:

Oh yeah, I had a few. I was dorkodancer147 first, that was like my first username ever. I had it when I was a freshmen in highshool on another site, and then I used it here for a bit. After that I went to Alexa because I didn't like people asking me my name. :lol: I think I had some others but I cant remember them all. I do remember three other names I had... One was bad reputation, cant remember why I picked that one. LOL. I also had Liam's Curls and Tell Me a Lie which were One Direction related. I modded their board for a while. :) I always preferred having Alexa though because it was simple. So after I was able to change it back I decided not to change it again. It is fun changing names but is also a bit of a hassle for other people. And because I am not a moderator anymore its not so easy to change it back so I figured I should keep one I liked. (On lj i have the name tmomsen8 and on tumblr its gothicbarbie... both were for taylor momsen/jenny from gossip girl back in the day). Which is funny because i dont really care about taylor or one direction as much anymore. :lol:

:lol: It's so funny thinking back to past screen names and emails addresses. I have some ridiculous ones for sure. LOL There's one on AOL (from 10 plus years ago) that I believe I made when I was a toddler, it's that immature and stupid. :lol:

Alexa is perfect for you... since it's you. :D

yeah so many of my highschool names were so dumb. i dance so they all had dance in them. RockinDancer was another one lol.

Yeah, Ill still with Alexa :lol:

:lol:

I played soccer and basketball so had numerous SNs that were so lame including both sports. I sounded like I was an immature little girl who couldn't possibly even play those sports. :lol:

seriously :lol:. No offense but high schoolers are pretty dumb lol.

:lol: So very true.
