So this episode ended up being both hard to watch and better than I'd hoped. I could have done w/o a few things, like Tahani's sense of well-being only being complete when her parents made it through their own growth and turned loving and supportive. Nope to that. I enjoyed other tidbits more than expected- like: - Eleanor's friends showing up at that dinner, that was fun. - The Frog Guy! I was so happy for the Frog Guy. - Eleanor going back for Mindy. - Derek being the final, BIG special effect was amaaaaaing! A nod to that first disembodied look we get at the wizard in the Wizard of Oz, with a touch of 'digital sphinx/Face of Boe' kind of thing going on. Something about that whole scene and Mindy hitting the reset button was my favorite part.
I could have done with a whole lot less sad in this show. I can imagine them having gone in a more fun, lighthearted, less (sorry) preachy way, but.... that's where they went. And the Chidi wave speech was gorgeous.
I'm glad we had it to love. I'm read to move on - from it. :}
