Isn't it just a fantastic show? I was with you on the "huh?" re: the dad's storylines, but as I've watched (maybe because the storylines are dovetailing better as the series progresses), it's bothered me less and less. The more I think about it, the more I like it, actually, mainly because I like how it shows that making good choices is always difficult, whether you're a sixteen year old girl or the police chief. And also, I just love the Joan/Dad relationship. The last episode? When she so casually said that he was the best person she knew, like it was obvious, and he was stunned? Aww! Loved it!
And! Adam! SO SAD! Oh GOD, my heart just breaks for that kid. His scene in the workshop when Joan found out about his mother -- seriously, both he and AT *nailed* that scene. It was such a difficult series of moments and I was on edge watching it, waiting for a misstep, and one didn't come, and wow, so amazing. That said: Adam and Joan must make up, like, yesterday! It's making me too sad to see each of them all sad! And this is All About Me!
And Grace! Grace is so fabulous! And how much do I love that Luke has a secret crush on her?
Seriously, could go on for HOURS here. It's so fabulous! And I LOLed at the master's degree in English literature line too. Hee!
