Parenthood - Episode 5.01 - It Has To Be Now - September 26
 

I hope everyone is excited to discuss the show again:)

so excited :yay:

Thanks for the thread, Katka! :) I'm watching live and at a normal time!! So stupidly excited about this! :D

Ah, so good! :love: Nice to have the Bravermans back on TV.

Loved all the Sarah scenes especially the texting, hammering, and when Drew visited her. The scene between her and Amber in the promo for next week looks really good.

Surprised by Kristina's decision, I feel like that'll be such a huge commitment. Ryan and Amber are adorable, and looking forward to seeing Crosby find a connection with his daughter. Bring on next Thursday. :D

A nice return for the show. Lots of great moments, max wasn't as annoying as he could have been. Liked that Hank returned and their break up was mutual but I'm sure that won't last. Even with the guy at Sarah's new apartment building.

Good seeing Drew visiting his mom and talking to Amber, love that she also talked to Sarah at the baby thing and later.

Really liked the Adam/Hank scene and the proposal at the end!

Now off to find the music, FYI the proposal song was 'My my love' by Joshua Radin

Loved the episode. It's great to have the Bravermans back! They're family to me :)

Loved all the combinations of Sarah, Drew, and Amber.

Also loved they didn't tie up the whole Crosby/baby conflict right away. Can't wait for him to find a connection with...Aieda(wtf!)??

Aida. I'm guessing that's where the name came from. That's the same pronunciation anyway.

Great episode. I feel like a lot happened.

Loved all the Sarah scenes, and especially with Amber.

And damn it if I didn't cry at the end, even though I saw it coming.

So good to have the Bravermans back! And the episode is just what I expected, full of laughter and tears.

I adored the scene at Crosby's house, with the entire Braveman clan. Especially the end part where the baby cries, and Amber puts her fingers over her ears, Jasmine walks by, and Sarah says, "do you think we should go?" Loved the expression on everyones faces, and Adam in the background!

I loved the car scene. Adam sneaking in, so he doesn't wake the baby. Then at the end as he leaves, slams the door! Hehe

What was so good about this episode, is how they haven't created this perfect baby (unlike most other shows would) The baby constantly cried and both parenthood are sleep deprived. It more true to life.

Surprisingly though, it was Hanks scene with Max that me laugh. Not a big fan of Hank, but I think am going to enjoy seeing these two together. They seem to have great chemistry.

and am not ashamed to admit I cried at the end, and cried at the part where Kristina was in the hospital.

So good to have this show back!

it`s good to have the bravermans back. loved the scenes with Sarah, Amber, Drew.

this year I`m gonna hate the julia/joel stuff. why are they doing this? :(

it`s brave of Kristina that she is running for major! would be fun if she beats bob little.

I`m not sure about the name crosby and Jasmie choosed.

Enjoyed the episode. The fast forwarding a few months made sense.

I think Hank's demeanor is a nice fit for Max.

I was the least invested with Julia and Joel.

Amber has really grown a lot and her scene with Ryan at the end was very sweet.

I actually giggled when Crosby said he kinda hated the baby not because he meant it but because he just wants some sleep.

It was nice to see Rose Abdoo in a scene with Monica Potter.

I think they should have maybe explained how Sarah became a super of an apartment building. Didn't have to be a big thing just a little something.

loved it cant wait for next week.. ive watched the promo 4 times now.. ah
