[Episode Discussion] 7x18 - "The Last Day of Our Acquaintance"
 

excited for tonight:)

I am excited too! I hope this isn't Bess last airing because she was so great in her scenes with Joy and James and it brought everyone to such a high level of story telling and acting.
This has to be one of my favorite and the most realistic story line this show has scene in a long time. It feels more like a primetime drama, kudos and can't wait.

I thought it was a good episode. Joy absolutely knocked it out of the park and so did the actress who plays Taylor. I actually teared up with Taylor and her mom.

I wish we would have had a Brooke comforting Haley scene but oh well.

So glad BJu are back together and hopefully happy. No more triangle crap. I do wish both apologized but I'll take a reuinion. The thing that bugs me is the time wasted on this storyline - if this is the last season, everything will seemed so rush.

And...OTH has a new psycho and she looks like Clay's deceased wife? Really? Which will most likely increase both Clay and Quinn's screentime.... Ugggh.

FANTASTIC episode!

- So, why have they not replaced Shantel with Lindsey yet? She acted circles around her in that scene in Taylor's apartment, and her talk with Lydia is the only time I cried all episode (before it got barf inducing, that is).
- Quinn is the most passionate of all her children? I'm pretty sure she is the most lifeless character this show has ever had - including Nathan. SAD.
- I'm going to have nightmares of waking up to Jamie's creepy ass smile and 'I have a surprise for you' tonight. Ick. Also, his 'she's the one that taught me how to wish on a star' or what the eff ever was the lamest thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
- The funeral was beautiful, even if they just recycled a song. I think they should have done Elsewhere, though, if they were gonna do S1 songs. I think it would have had more of an emotional impact, at least for me.
- Love the Brooke/Alex scene in Julian's hotel room. I was annoyed for the first half, but they did a suitable job of making Brooke self aware afterward.
- Vomited at the Alexander/Victoria kiss.
- Skills?! I was definitely surprised to see him, gotta say. I thought for sure Antwon was gonna be gone til at least next season.
- The fact that they ended the episode on the horribleness that is this Not!Sara thing really pisses me off.
- Man, the people on this show love to have sex after funerals. Who did it after Quinten's? Anyone?
- Last, and certainly the worst - Clay/Quinn. So now Lydia ships them?! She knows that Clay is better for her than David? They're in love? Please.

I pretty much agree with everything you said.

THIS. All I could think about was Roswell when the song came on. There are some songs that have meaning to me and when the song came on I flashed back to Liz and future Max dancing. So beautiful. Sigh.

I flashbacked to Haley crying in Luke's arms and Karen crying alone at the kitchen table. I mean, I adore the song, but.

Also, can I just say how much fail the ending was? Not just Not!Sara, but they should have had the other coda stuff first, and then ended it with Haley starting to make the soup, and have her, like, idk, crying while she made it, or something, it'd be a way better ending. And I can't believe how little effort they put into mentioning the other siblings or even showing a picture of all of them so we'd know how many there are or, even showing randoms at the funerl.

Me, too! Roswell was my original amazing-music show.

Me too! GAH, the song makes me tear up whenever I hear it.

Aww, Elsewhere would've been so perfect.

Especially if they did Joy's version? Then I totally would have bawled for sure.

Beautiful episode. Having lost my grandpa 2 weeks ago and being next to him in that last day, tonight OTH just made me go back to that sad and unreal day. I am still teary because of the episode. Joy was AMAZING. I don't think she is always great but with this storyline, she was sublime. Why isn't Taylor more on this show? I love her and she is such a tragic character. I wanted to hold her. Quinn... don't care and give me a break, who says "What's up is that I love you". I just laughed.

Brooke and Julian are back together. I thought it was about time and thank god, Brooke went to Julian and told him she loves him. Those two are great together and I hope the last 4 episodes have them happy together. I enjoyed a lot Brooke and Alex in the hotel room. Together Jana and Sophia are amazing. Too bad the show wasted a good opportunity to create new friendships by focusing on a stupid triangle version 100000 that we knew would go nowhere. Love the BJu scene on the couch!

Clay is another wasted character... Quinn and Clay together sucks the life out of the fun Clay I remember from the beginning. I am almost insulted that the writers brought back the actress playing Sara (Sara and Clay stole my heart with just 2 episodes or less...) but turned her into a psycho NOTSara.

For me this season has been much better than season 6 so when I saw the promo for the last 4 episodes, I almost got sad because even if I bitch about the show, I will miss it if it does not come back.

I'm watching it online because my best friend's birthday was earlier but I am crying so much and I'm not even halfway through :(

Taylor's scene with Quinn and then Haley talking to her mom about her memories :bawl:

was there a lot of taylor? cause if not, i'm not watching!
