The vending machines are back.

My favorite scenes from last night's Parenthood:

1. when Crosby tells Julia she's a good mom
2. when Mark goes up to Ray Romano and tells him his "plan." HA ha ha. I love Hank's line, "He just basically challenged me to a duel or something."

I love that both these guys are fighting over Sarah. Sarah's character is driving me (and my mom) crazy with her crazy whore-ish ways, but for real, how awesome is it when a guy can truly go after a girl, even in face of obstacles. AND when he can do it in a straightforward way, not keeping anything a secret. 

Mark's always been a great character, even in his young-ness. I like his hair better now too, or his beard or whatever he's doing different. (I think that was the only thing I wasn't liking about him before when it seemed like they were going to phase him out.)

Oh, but here's my only annoyance with Parenthood lately: Where the heck is Haddie Braverman. She's at school? Can we see her at school ever? Can she come home ever? Is she allowed to talk on the phone when she's away? She hasn't been on the show in a billion episodes, and it's highly disappointing because she was starting to become my new favorite character.* What is she doing? Like, in real life what is she doing, is she busy or something? I hope she comes back for the finale.

THE FINALE. Omigosh. I can't believe next week is the season finale.




*Amber (Mae Whitman) used to be my favorite character, and I do still like her a lot, but she's kind of getting super sappy all the time, and I kind of want her to have another rebellious / angsty phase, you know?
