There were a lot of little things I liked on Parenthood this week:
1. When Crosby is going door-to-door, and the girl is like, "Crosby? I thought you moved to Europe.."
"Uh.. I did move to Europe, and.."
[Door slam.]
Omigosh what a hilarious throwback to Crosby's player days, so right on that that would happen to him while he's campaigning for Kristina.
2. When Crosby tries to slam the minivan door, and it won't let him because it's one of those doors that shuts (very slowly) automatically. (I love how Parenthood gets the details, seriously, Parenthood Writers, seriously, I love you.)
3. When Zeek and Camille go to look at that condo and Zeek is actually sincerely trying to give it a chance. Such love we hadn't seen in their relationship in a long time, I was starting to get tired of them. (Though it was a little hard to believe that after he did all that, Camille wouldn't at least attempt to ask him about the trip versus telling him like a brat and walking away. Camille, I want to like your character, but you do things like that, and I just don't.)
4. When Joel has the nice dinner all ready for Julia and tells her he's sorry, and she almost starts crying because of her earlier affair-of-the-mind with that parent guy whatever his name is. Was that his wife that came home or his ex-wife? I thought he was divorced for some reason, but I guess not?
5. All the Amber / Sarah moments make me cry. You'd think I'd be bored by those because it's pretty much the same vicious cycle between them, but dude those girls can act, I could just watch them argue and cry all day.
6. Oh, the Kristina moment! I mean, it was predictable that something good was probably going to happen for her during the debate, but it was still touching and so believable that she would come down to that woman and that everyone would be moved. (I was a little surprised Bob Little let her keep talking though since he's such a little interrupter-face.)
7. Oh, it was sort of funny when Julia was taking the kids door-to-door for the campaign, and Sydney was like, "This is nothing like Trick or Treating." Ha! Um, yeah, you don't get candy, and people don't want you there. Timely joke.
I'm sure there were more, and I should probably think of three more to make ten, but I have more things to write, and I think I'm done. I really, really liked it though. I wanted it to go on forever, I almost feel like watching it again but I really don't have time.
