Parenthood - 2x10 - "Happy Thanksgiving" Episode Discussion
 

Source

I thought this episode was alright but not great. I expected more drama with the football game and Adam/Gordon/Sarah. I expected the breakup to be more dramatic too. So much going on this episode too- a little too much, I thought. I did like the end with the siblings dancing though. I want to see more of those 4 together in the second half of the season.

I'm getting more and more sick of Max with every episode. Asperger's or not, that kid is a little brat and needs some discipline. Of course, I'm no expert on the matter.

Another clip in the "previously on" that we haven't seen before. I find that bizarre.

I was also hoping for some kind of preview of things to come at the end of the episode, but nothing. Oh well, will have to keep a lookout for promos on NBC.

ETA: There were some nice little looks between Adam and Sarah in this episode. Those two just can't turn off the chemistry no matter how hard they try. LOL

I think this was the first episode of the season that I actually really loved. It was funny and sweet without being annoying... well, Julia was kind of annoying.

The Crosby/Joel stuff made me laugh. The Adam/Gordon/Sarah storyline was kind of weird though. I feel like Peter and Lauren forget they play brother and sister sometimes lol.

Those two really need to be in a show where they are not playing siblings. Seriously, I watch them sometimes and just want to yell at the screen "make out, already!" ;)

ETA: Funny thing is, I didn't used to see it that way, but I have of late. Maybe it's just me getting too much into the Kraham thing?

I really enjoyed this episode... I wished there was some more of the football and of course more of the 4 sibs together though. I think Zeke was great this week. I love that he connected with Drew and got his dad to call. I do like the chaos.... that is what it is like at my house during Thanksgiving, so it was definately realistic. I do think that Adam should have done something with Max not sharing,.. Asperger's or not he still needs to be corrected.

Why does the *cough* have to be late this week :(

This episode for me was alright, not as good as I hoped for. I'm SOO glad we actually got some Drew tonight! Love him. I also wasn't as annoyed by Kristina as I am most of the time. Did anyone else love her reaction to Haddie and Alex? "Who's that boy..man?" haha! Made me laugh. I also really loved Zeke and his scenes with Drew were amazing. As usual Lauren looked amazing :) and I'm glad Gordon is finally out of the picture. Hopefully this will open the door for a story line with Seth/Drew/Amber, which I'm interested to see.

Seriously the cough is 3 hours late now, I should have seen it by now!

So Gordon is gone? I was sure they would leave that until Jan.

The scene at the end is the kind of scene that made me fall in love with this show. I for one loved this episode.

I would have laughed so hard though if when Crosby turned on the music at the end, it was the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. That would have been too funny. I will bet anyone that Lauren shared that story during filming.

January can't come fast enough.

ETA: I was a little sad though that there were no shots of Lauren/Sarah with the football.

I know!!! I'm going insane! I don't want to read this thread because this is the only ep I'm not spoiled for but I'm desperate! :lol: If anyone makes a discovery, would they be kind enough to share via pm/twitter etc :)

Hope y'all enjoyed it!

So none of Sarah playing with the family? do I want to know, should keep it as a surprise...

Going a little crazy waiting here :( Im sad :(

5 hours and counting :( at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't show up until the morning here...

Yeah, Sarah was just kinda running around but never really in the action. In general I found this to be a Lauren-light episode, which is probably why I found the episode to be ok but not great. I won't deny that my Lauren obsession skews my view of things. I just want to see as much of her in this show as I can. :)

I'm sorry it's taking so long for some of you to see the episode. That sucks. :(

I'm going to go watch it again now after a good night's sleep and see if I like it more this time around. That often happens for me. :)

:cry: still no sigh of this ep, so I'll have to hope it turns up in the morning.

Maybe it's karma, I haven't finished last weeks transcript yet :look:

In the morning then...
