4x08 - Driving Mr. Jackson - Episode Discussion Thread
 

seeing jackson drunk was funny. im glad they were smart though and called fernando for a ride and not one of their friends or someone from the party that was drinking. but you knew dj was going to find out about it at some point

the mommy and me storyline was kinda stupid. but it was nice to see jesse and becky again trying to find ways to be together

clearly matt still has immaturity issues going on, now letting the award he got going to his head

I'm glad the kids got Fernando to pick them up. It's good to see that Jackson feels comfortable enough to go to him for things.

I loved the talk between DJ and Fernando on the porch. It's good for the boys to have someone else to go to if they need him.

this episode also wasnt very interesting to me...

becky and jesse's storyline was pretty lame. I feel like the old cast never gets really good storylines... :shrug:

Im surprised they did a drinking storyline but i guess it is realistic. it was good to show DJ having a realistic talk with her son about it.

well they are getting to that age, i guess they needed to start addressing real HS issues and drinking and drugs are apart of that peer pressures

steph had a girlfriend?

wonder if that was scripted? or planned?

that was funny but i thought it was a bit odd how it was thrown in and then Dj's reaction was a bit weird too... it was almost a blink and miss moment.

yeah it was. dj's reaction was what made me think it wasnt planned

I feel like the OG show handled the underage drinking issue better but it was more realistic to have a 15-year-old than a 13-year-old drinking beer but yeah glad that they didn't drive home drunk

^oh yeah I mentally reacted like DJ when I watched that scene

Jodie switching it around sounds like it wasn't planned and they just went with the one that got the best reaction. I am here for bisexual Steph though.

I like that Jackson feels able to go to Fernando. It's nice that he has so many people looking out for him.

i am too

I think Jackson getting drunk was supposed to parallel that time Kimmy got drunk at that party rather than the time Jesse accused DJ of drinking at 13.

Probably. Especially considering DJ didn't actually drink.

ah okay I think I forgot about that SL

I remember that. I haven't seen that episode yet

Hope you like it when you do see it.
