I don't think I can watch anything with Peter K ever again since the ending of his shows make me BALL. I think I cried harder at Six feet under's ending however.</p> <p>@Mae: I actually agree with you. I get that he wanted to go out on his own terms, but if that were my dad, I would be pissed. Like, at least give it a shot!!?!?!</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: omg Ugly tears started with Max graduating and smiling for me too! I'm glad someone else noticed that cause my DH was like "huh?" when I mentioned it lol</p> <p>@BabyPenguinXO: They probably didn't want to age the little ones a ton so people would know who they were. But I totally agree with what you're saying.</p> <p>@littlebug: Feel the same way. I'm sad Zeke died, but glad they didn't "harp" on it and moved right on with the family being together and the flash forwards. Had he died in the beginning, I would have passed out hyperventilating/crying. lol That being said, I do feel like that last 5 minutes could have at least been 10-15. It felt a little rushed to me.</p> <p>I'm almost in tears just thinking about it being over. How did it feel like I was part of a TV family?? Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048742 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 12:46:38 +0000 owlteach 2048742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the finale and it actually held it together until the end. I thought it was very predictable in a lot of ways but I was ok with that. We had my dads funeral at a baseball field and we danced to Forever Young at my wedding so the last 10 minutes killed me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048714 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 11:53:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2048714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually not upset about Zeek dying at all. I feel like one of the best things about this show is the true and raw emotions they portray. About parenting, adoptions, family and life. Death is a big part of life and especially the death of our parents. And as far as I can recall there has been no death yet in the family. So I like that they kept it real till the end! </p> <p>@bisous: great shows know to end on a high note when everyone still love them! Otherwise no one watches and just go ugh why is it still on? Grey's should've ended forever ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048697 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 11:30:27 +0000 MrsSCB 2048697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the end. I was really dreading Zeek's death the whole season but I thought it was so well done and not overly melodramatic. Of course I was still sobbing. It doesn't help that the theme song (Forever Young) which they played at the end was my uncle's favorite song and played at his funeral a couple years ago, so that song gets me every time. You know I was a hot mess with it playing in this context! But I thought it was a beautiful ending. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048694 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 11:24:12 +0000 78h2o 2048694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: I didn't know Mae (Amber) and Miles (Drew) were friends IRL and lived together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048639 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 10:38:20 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2048639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sad its over. Clearly people on the set felt the love too. This interview with Mae Whitman who plays Amber made me smile imagining all of them continuing to hang out and braver man it up: <a href="http://www.people.com/article/mae-whitman-talks-parenthood-and-movies" rel="nofollow">http://www.people.com/article/mae-whitman-talks-parenthood-and-movies</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048623 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 10:19:54 +0000 cait 2048623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: I knew they were probably either going to have him die or show future clips without him but I was crossing my fingers they wouldn't because it just seemed like it'd be too sad. How they did it with the baseball scene was so impressive! Sad but not as solemn as I thought it would be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048614 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 10:06:48 +0000 littlebug 2048614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought the ending was brilliant. I went into it really hoping that they would just keep Zeke alive, because I didn't want the show to end on a super sad funeral note. But I like how they handled it. I like that they had the little ceremony at the baseball field with his ashes and then had a big fun baseball game. And I really thought that showing the futures of all of them was perfect. I loved seeing Jasmine pregnant. I loved seeing Max graduate. Seeing Amber in a happy relationship. </p> <p>This show has been perfection, start to finish... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048562 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 09:07:43 +0000 bisous 2048562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the finale was good but I am just so, so sad it is over. </p> <p>@ladybee: I texted my sister the same exact thing after I watched the finale! How in the world is Grey's still on and Parenthood only got 6 seasons!?!? I stopped watching Grey's in like 2010! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048536 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 08:37:08 +0000 BabyPenguinXO 2048536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: oh that's right about the field. Pregnancy brain.</p> <p>I'm overall not a fan of throwing all these new people and whatnot into the ending. I'm sure im the oddball everyone seemed to love it. But I'm sitting here like... That could have been another season! So I'm mad lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048532 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 08:32:59 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2048532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyPenguinXO: the baseball field scene was just after the wedding, so she wouldn't have aged. </p> <p>The flash forward scenes were all different time lapses - so it made sense the everyone's families kids were different ages. Baby Zeek looked about 3, but it seemed like a little more time had lapsed with Julia's family. And max was a year or two from graduating, so his flash forward was pretty quick, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048525 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 08:27:53 +0000 BabyPenguinXO 2048525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate that they did a terrible job of aging people. Nora was the same age yet it had been 18 months -2 years? Idk. She looked the exact same. It just drives me nuts when they age some but not others. Little kids especially show age changes dramatically so I think that was a poor choice! But I over think things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale/page/2#post-2048499 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 07:55:25 +0000 Smurfette 2048499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I thought that it was odd they weren't in the very ending but Haddie hasn't been on for a couple years and Nora was so small I guess it makes sense.<br /> And it was Hank's daughter at the table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048479 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 07:18:45 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2048479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: yes, I think that about greys too! I haven't watched that yet. It's still in my DVR. I could go weeks without watching and not care. Parenthood was something I've watched from day 1 and never missed! </p> <p>I'm really happy with the way he wrapped up the show. </p> <p>So glad the luncheonette stayed open &amp; amber was the new Crosby. </p> <p>Though I do wonder what happened to haddie! I don't remember seeing her or Norah in the flash forwards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048477 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 07:13:53 +0000 ladybee 2048477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I teach children on the spectrum and loved that part as well. I also loved at the wedding when he smiled (while looking away) at a family photo and danced with a girl. Amazing!</p> <p>I loved this show and am so sad to see it end. I was watching Greys thinking, "how is this show with such little depth staying on but Parenthood has to end?" Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048470 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 06:18:09 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2048470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one has said this, so I'll bring it up. I was so happy to see jasmine pregnant! </p> <p>Was drew with Amy or was that ruby at the dinner table?</p> <p>SO HAPPY Mille made it to Chez Marie. It was the first thing I noticed.</p> <p>And the major waterworks started when max for his diploma and SMILED. I've faithfully watched this show every Thursday night since the pilot and I don't think max has ever smiled. Man that was awesome, he was so proud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048440 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 01:53:58 +0000 littlejoy 2048440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Same! My husband and I have shed so many tears over this show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048412 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 23:45:53 +0000 Mamasig 2048412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I probably would have made the same choice as Zeke. He got to die on his terms. I guess I wouldn't want to die in an operating room. Though it's sad it had to come to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048409 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 23:42:01 +0000 lady baltimore 2048409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't cry much at TV shows, but I did choke up when I saw Camille in France on her own. Pretty great ending, I thought, in that it really wrapped everything up for viewers, while still allowing us to imagine these characters moving forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048395 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 23:08:49 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 2048395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: Thanks for the extra info!</p> <p>I LOVED the ending. Great closure and a good cry (as usual with that show). My BFF are seriously going to miss the Bravermans!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048375 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 22:26:15 +0000 turquoisemama 2048375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I totally agree with you! We made it through the whole season without him dying and then they have to show him slumped over in the chair!! So morbid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048357 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 22:02:38 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2048357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished watching &amp; cried ugly tears. Full out sobbing over here. </p> <p>I've never cared about a tv show before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048354 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:58:32 +0000 78h2o 2048354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cait: that sounds like something my husband would say. I know it's fiction, but it's still fun to analyze! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048351 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:54:32 +0000 Mae 2048351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: Bah. It just felt like he knew he was very very close to the end. I guess I'd always rather go down swinging, fighting and clawing for more time with my family than to sit idly by. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048350 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:53:05 +0000 cait 2048350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: Yeah, that's how I felt too. I kind of assumed from how the dr. presented his options to him that if he'd gone with the surgery, he wouldn't have made it through or wouldn't have recovered well enough to get to do things like walk Sarah down the aisle.</p> <p>But my DH always reminds me to stop thinking of "what if?" with tv shows because "it's fiction! There were no other options because no other options were made up!" Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048344 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:49:47 +0000 Periwinkle 2048344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I said almost the exact same thing last night!!!! Six Feet Under was my all-time favorite show and his finale pulled at my heartstrings in such a familiar way too. </p> <p>Amazing finale. I want to watch it again but think I might need a few days to process the first viewing. Hello, waterworks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048339 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:47:19 +0000 Smurfette 2048339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved loved it. Going to miss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048338 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:46:09 +0000 mrsjyw 2048338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tears, LOVED the ending. </p> <p> :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048335 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:41:50 +0000 78h2o 2048335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I get what you're saying, but I agreed with his decision.. Hindsight is 20-20. They told him the procedure would be super risky and there was no guarantee it would work. He could have died on the operating table, or made it through, suffered through recovery, and still died. Or lived for a long time...there was no way of knowing how much time he'd have with the operation or without, so I don't blame him for wanting to enjoy his time with his family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenthood-finale#post-2048284 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:01:10 +0000 Mae 2048284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay I'm just going to say it. I'M ANGRY. </p> <p>Sigh. </p> <p>Why, Zeke? </p> <p>Like he clearly thought/knew he was close to death. He was saying his goodbyes. So if you're that close to death, roll the dice and have the damn surgery! It was a CHANCE to be with your family. A chance to be a part of everything wonderful to come! </p> <p>Otherwise I was happy with it but I was just so angry that he wouldn't fight to stay with his family and that he missed all of that awesomeness and that poor Camille has to live her third act alone. :crying: </p>
