I'm done with Everwood Season 2 actually.

Yeah, it was pretty quick after that post that I grew a really bad distate for Tommy. He was using drugs and using Amy to what, make himself feel better or for her to help him hide his indescretions. But really, Tommy is more of a danger to himself than to Amy.

But Tommy almost dying that night at the party made Amy wake up and go back to her family, that part I'm thankful for

You're done???!!! Hee, you must have really enjoyed it. What did you like better, S1 or S2?

Any inklings on what you're going to do about getting S3?

I think that's what made Amy really see what she was doing to herself. The scene where she "sees" Colin again, and he tells her to stop following him? Chills.

'Tos

Oh, I love it. I thought it was so well executed. The perfect S2, dark as hell version of the visions Andy saw of Julia in S1.

Amy finally sees that she needs to stop what she's doing by Colin telling her to stop following him. Chilling....she was following Colin. All the bad decisions, and whatever else she was doing to herslef, it would've killed her.

'Tos

I think both Colin and Amy were always aware about what was happening to them. Colin certainly knew he was falling apart, and Amy knew that her life in S2 was not going how it should be. But Colin could never fix himself. Amy could. She needed to realize that and I think that whole episode starts that process.

Wow...that's deep, dude.

(Poor, sad Colin. I just had to throw that in.)

Colin, deep down knew it was going to die. He wouldn't have given Andy that letter if he had any idea that he was going to live.

Amy just didn't care

Colin absolutely knew deep down he wasn't going to survive the last surgery. Yes, the letter demonstrates this point very clearly. But what I find even more interesting is Ephram deep down knew as well. Of course the talk he has with Colin before Colin meets Andy is significant but I truly think in general Ephram understood probably way before anyone that Colin wasn't going to make it. Whenever he witnessed Colin throwing that temper tantrum at school, I think Ephram knew Colin was not going to have a good end result. I also think Ephram knew Amy had to have that "meeting with Colin" in season 2 before she was going to snap out of her situational depression and there was nothing he could really do to help her until she went through the process, the journey. He would wait for her which is what he did. I’m in the process of waiting since I know the relationship is real but have a feeling I’ll be waiting a while. Although with Ephram, I don't necessarily love how he waited while hitting it with the babysitter but that's another story all together, heh.

'Tos

Hee, why thank you. I have my rare moments.

Yes, I think that's when Ephram really realized that Colin was beyond helping. I don't think he envisioned him dying as quickly as he did. Maybe going back into a coma or maybe being sent away to a hospital for a very long time. But, he definitely saw then and when Colin when nuts on Bright that he was too far gone. It's amazing that everyone saw it, really, except for Colin's parents. But I guess the point is that they saw it too, they just didn't want to truly admit it to themselves.

Colin's parents were idiots. Colin had a very distinguished doctor treating him....and you have the Harts ignoring Andy's advice and actually disagreeing with him to the point of escorting him out the door.
And the way that Mrs. Hart treated Amy? Cruel is the only word I could think of.

Colin's parents just wanted a happy, healthy boy to come out of the hospital. Nothing wrong with that, but given the odds, it was wrong to hope for that. Andy was upfront. Andy knew there was a small, small percentage that Colin would be healthy. There were too many odds aiming towards Colin dying or becoming a vegetable for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Hart treated Amy like she never mattered, and thwas so far from the truth. Amy was more into that relationship than Colin was. She was only sixteen years old and thought she was doing good by shwing up, giving up her life to be by Colin's side, even if he didn't remember anything. IMO, it was unnecesary for Amy to keep throwing herself to Colin when he couldn't even remember his own name without a notecard. But Amy was dedicated to Colin and their relationship. You have to admire it to some extent.

Ephram always looked at everything objectively. He knew there was little change Colin would make it, the Great Doctor Brown wasn't enough for Colin. IMO, they probably should have not kept him on life support in that coma for so long. Giving his family, the Abbott family false hope of a recovery. But what can you do? A boy who is loved and adored by everyone, just pulling the plug would seem like murder.

'Tos

She did go too far at times, for sure, but I agree, Mrs. Hart treating her like she didn't matter was ridiculous. Looking at the season, Amy is the thing that gets Colin's memory back. She helps him out tremendously. And, yeah, by keeping his condition a secret to protect him/them, she hurts him too. But the latter is hard to truly blame on her, since everyone was ignoring how he really is. Not everyone actually helped him like she did.

Is this the latest "rewatch" episode? Sorry all, "I fell off the bandwagon"... as Scott Wolf would say.

I tried to keep up with you guys at an episode every two weeks but for my hectic schedule... i couldn't do it. I'll pop in and out every once in awhile but i've needed a little chicken soup for the soul and here I am.

thus, S 2 Ep 7... here I come!

everwoodfan52

We haven't really been faithful in our rewatches....so feel free to pop in and out whenever you want!! We don't go in order, either.
