Finale. Let´s cry together.

lancer1993

Nice season final and lets just hope that's all it is as we now have a bunch of new questions. Is Amber pregnant and are Joel and Julia back together.

Yay for Sarah and Hank, hope it works out this time. Love how Amber hugged Hank at the hospital and Sarah smiled. So did Haddie tell her dad in the montage at the end? They were really going at it when Max walked in. Love the scene with Adam and Crosby on the stairs and Zeek slapping him, nice that Drew got the GTO but really if he's broke how will he afford the gas to get to Portland? Didn't like Ryan's mom, but I guess that was the point, she ended up pushing them back together. The story Victor read was nice, it was good to see him finally doing well at school. One thing I notice missing was the driving lesson for Victor (in the description above). Sad to see the empty house, but I was hoping more of the family would be there to help them pack.

So much packed into the season final it really deserved to be 2 hours long.

Holy moses.. what a cry fest. happy tears mostly.
the final montage was beautiful.. and classic parenthood.

If this turns out to be the series finale I would be okay with that.. but It would be nice to see what happens with Amber and the pregnancy test.

Only thing I`m going to say about Sarah and Hank: Not happy about it, not the ending I wanted for Sarah at all. but I just have to accept it. whatever.

I agree, although I don't want the show to end. If this was the finale episode, I would be okay with that too. It was a perfect finale. My heart was breaking from the start, but wasn't long before I was laughing too. I now can imagine what a young Adam and Crosby were like. That was funny! (brought back memories from my childhood, I used to do the same thing with the mattress)

I actually liked how the ended things with Joel and Julia. I don't think that it would have been too rushed, to see them get back together. I liked how you could sense there was hope for them, which made it more believable.

Cannot believe they actually moved out the house. My heart broke! The house is such a strong part of the show. If this is the end, it makes sense. Although, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, if they get another season. I couldn't imagine this show without that house.

Very sentimental ending, with what seems like a new tradition of the family meal, now at Adam's house. Loved and Adam and Sarah's selfie. And did anyone notice the cute look Sarah/Lauren gave Aida at the end, it was so sweet! If there are any ER fans on this forum, you'd know the song the played at the end was the same song they used, when one of the main characters died in ER. So for me it was double the sadness!

The only downside to this episode was Sarah's and Hank's kiss, but I think we all knew that was coming! I watched it the first time from behind a cushion. Then tried to watch it again, minus the cushion. I didn't work! Lol The only good thing I suppose, if we do get another season, for once there maybe no love traingle for Sarah??

Overall, this was a beautiful ending to a great season. I just sincerely hope this isn't the last time we see the Bravermans? There is so much left too see, and most importantly, the result of Ambers pregnancy test!

I was also hiding during that kiss.. I just couldn`t watch it. Hate it when things doesn`t go the way I want for my favorite caracther on a tv show.

I think it`s so weird.. since NBC seems to be so supportive of this show. why can`t they just prove that to us all and renew the show for a s6 already??

I really liked it (minus the Drew part because I really dislike Natalie and think their relationship is a little toxic). I had a quick look and it's predicted that it won't get renewed. Seems like if it does it will be for a 13 episode season just so it can get to 88 episodes (minimum for syndication).

Kinda wish they hadn't included the pregnancy test - seemed odd to be buying it so soon - made it seem intentional.

Haddie coming back was good but made me remember that she really annoys me, lol.

loved every bit besides hank & sarah.. he aint no luke thats for sure ha.
as for season 6 i think we would have known if it was a the FINAL episode, have faith people we will get a 6th and final season.

lancer1993

After the promo I was annoyed we didn't get more out of the Haddie story.

What annoyed me about the Drew story was he's broke but has enough money to drive an old V8 up to Portland 1400 mile round trip.

Would have love some more time with Sarah and her kids. I'm still hoping like all of us we get a 6th season, even if it's a shorter one.

well that was a typical Parenthood season finale, wasn't it?

I, of course, loved the Sarah & Hank stuff. I could have done without Drew - I mean they went from not talking to each other to ILYs in the blink of an eye, plus I never got Natalie as a character.
Amber/Ryan was a bit strange, with the mother and the making out in the hospital and that pregnancy test.

My main issue, however, is that the stories were a bit rushed towards the end. Esp. Sarah. Julia, Drew and

There's gotta be some kind of sixth season. A show like this deserves the chance to finish telling the stories.

First of all... should we believe Amber had sex with a bruised and internally bleeding Ryan, in a hospital bed, and the next day she goes to get a pregnancy test? Because of course it shows up the next day after having sex.

All in all loved the finale. I'm still not crazy about Sarah/Hank, but if they do it right in season 6 (hoping we get one), I'm open to seeing what can come of it. I just can't really picture such a couple in real life.
I really, really liked the scenes of Adam, Crosby and Zeek. I love it when they get to be silly and fun together.
I'm glad to see Julie and Joel are on the right way back. Seeing Victor read aloud was very cute.
Drew, I don't care too much about. I like the actor, but his story this year was stupid. Natalie seems bipolar, one minute she wants to sleep around and the next she loves him. Sure.
Sad to see them empty the house, but I guess it can open new possibilities if we get another season.
Haddie's news was... boring. I didn't expect Adam and Kristina, the parents of the year, to be upset or kick her out. I'm happy she's happy, and that's it.

I so hope we'll get more!!

sydsgirl1

lol Vale I thought the same thing about Amber and Ryan. Like...seriously???

I like Sarah and Hank. I think I've mentioned (and I'm sorry lol) that I just don't see Sarah and Mark lasting, so I'm glad she is with Hank. I'd still love to see Seth come back, but that's a long shot.

I might be the only one but I think this episode was a fitting series finale. I wouldn't be too upset if it did end. I love the show, but the last couple of years I've thought 'this is near the end'. A show like PH just isn't built for a super long run. I'd much prefer they stop it while it's still really good, and not let it drag on.

Such a beautiful season (hopefully not series) finale!

So I still don't think Hank and Sarah are perfect for each other, but I guess I can support them trying again. I have to admit their last scene at Hank's studio was pretty cute. I liked his almost boyish grin and, "really?"

Loved Joel and Julia's handholding in bed with Sydney. It wasn't a huge turn-around but just enough to show that they're heading towards working on their marriage. Victor reading out his essay was great too. He definitely has improved on his reading since the beginning of the season.

Nice to see Amber and Ryan together again, but like some of you mentioned, it seemed a bit rushed. Especially with the pregnancy test.. didn't seem too realistic. Hope Ryan doesn't have to stay home for too long, his mom was a real B.

The scene with Crosby and Adam going down the stairs on the mattresses was really cute. It was cool to see a glimpse of what it was like when they were younger, with Crosby getting hurt and Zeek slapping Adam on the helmet.

The montage at the end was just brilliant. Truly Parenthood in every way. Seeing the empty house was sad, but loved that they're continuing it now at Adam's. Doesn't matter where, as long as all the Braverman's are together. The cute little moments like the Adam/Sarah selfie were just icing on the cake.

CohenGal

YES, this bugged me so much; glad I'm not the only one.

I like Sarah and Hank, so that made me happy, and I love the music they used in the episode. Overall I thought it was a great season finale. I really think it'll be back for another season, but I like how they wrapped up this one.

I need to watch again. I totally didn't get that it was Adam and Kristina's house. I was thinking that they moved it to Camille and Zeek's new place. But then I realize do they really have a backyard or just the deck?
I liked the episode. I have no problem with Hank and Sarah. I personally never really saw the Sarah/Mark relationship.
Amber and Ryan having sex in the hospital bed was a bit of a stretch.
I thought the Haddie story line was really a non-issue and she didn't get much to do.
I also am not a fan of Natalie. She seemed bitchy. I also wished that Drew was more expressive in his graditude about the car. He did look a bit teary but I wanted him to get out of the car and hug Zeek.
Adam and Crosby are always fun together. Add Zeek and it is perfection.
Looks like Joel and Julia are on the right track but the fact that she slept with the teacher is still in the back of my mind. Even though I thought she was free to do so since Joel said he wasn't working on the marriage.
The episode worked as a series or season finale.
