Really good finale! Can't wait for the next season!
Pleasantly surprised. I don't know why I feel like I've watched this show already... maybe I did or maybe I caught a couple of episodes but I can't recall.
I have to mention that I started hating the mother...so uptight and then specially the fact she cheats... but on some occasions I actually felt sorry for her and sympathized.. I mean shit... God knows how having an autistic child can affect anyone... what I know for certain is that it must be difficult regardless of how functional.
Just awesome... looking forward to season 2.
This show moves slowly, but I like it. Keir Gilchrist does a great job. I love that while they show that Sam's way of being can be off-putting sometimes, even to those who love him, they're careful not to make fun of him. I think the fact that it's told from his point of view is important. I'm looking forward to season 2.
I liked that this episode brought back the Sam narration to give context to his life, it helps us frame the story better, helps move everything that is going on close to Sam and his learning experience. Miss this in the middle episodes of this season.
Julia finding out about Sam interferring in her life, plus Paige venting to Sam about this breakup and the "killing the penguin" incident was genius. It took extreme situations to finally get through to Sam about how other people feel and brings him out of his self focused nature.
Casey finding out about her mom and the bartender will probably be a game changer for Casey since now she has zero trust of both her parents (her mom cheating of her dad, and then her dad abandoning them when Sam got diagnosed), so how will she search an independent path (other than pissing off her mom indirectly by losing her virginity to Evan especially after her mom told her she was too young for a physical relationship).
I feel so bad for Paige, even after her super controlling ways, she really did love Sam, seeing the dance be Sam-friendly and the theme be the Penguines shows how much she cared for him, and he threw that away for a misguided crush. Poor Paige. Also, loved Casey's awed expression of seeing the dance set up to please her brother who has never quite fit it.
The finaly leaves a very interesting set up for next season: Casey going to the prep school, her parents maybe splitting and Sam growing so much in his social skills (result from messing things up so much and understanding how he was messing up).
