This story line is so stupid. I'm reminded of that Minnie Driver film with the same premise: It stops being interesting about five seconds after you digest it, right? Where could they possibly go with it? And how is it that none of them knew that Angelo's organs were donated?
shareYes, another story they pulled out of a hat and doesn't really add up/make sense. Regina seem to know Angelo's organs were donated but didn't want to know where they ended up. I think they wanted to have a Angelo tribute episode in a way. Did you see the 100th episode?
shareAlthough I did like the epi. I like that Lily stood firm in Carlton's being raised Jewish. Katherine was uncharacteristically myopic in this epi. She's always been about inclusion and diversity, and suddenly when Toby asks her why Carlton should be baptized, she replies, "It's what you do!" Suddenly she's all WASP-who-can't-wrap-her-head-around-not-being-Christian? Out of character, no?
shareKatherine is annoying - period. That's one thing I don't like about this show - the "adults/parents" getting stories every week. Not that they shouldn't - it's called Switched at Birth, so I expect Bay and Daphne to get more stories, lame as they are. When I saw Lily and Toby were still on, I thought, Oh great another boring story, but I have to agree, I like that Lily set it straight for how her son was going to be raised Jewish. Katherine was being very disrespectful and rude; but at the end she was going to take classes.

1. How is Bombshell Betty an appropriate name for a tattoo parlor that takes itself seriously? To me that name screams "tramp stamp shop".
2. What kind of name is Noelle for a Latina?
Ugh, I have many questions of my own for this series. Like why did Daphne change her career choice as much as she did with guys? Why does Daphne think "Angelo" is her "father"? He left when she was like 3, what would she remember other than what Regina and Regina's mom (Can't remember her name) could tell her? I was just annoyed that Bay didn't spend enough time with Regina/Angelo and Daphne didn't spend enough time with Katherine/John. Before he died Angelo cared more about getting Daphne on his side than getting to know "his" daughter.
So many things that happened on this show was forgotten that it never happened. I stopped watching after Season 3, but returned to see how they handle the final season and it's just as I expected, which isn't good.
Them living in China for a year? Bay becoming a tattoo artist? What really?
That whole racist crap over a Li' Wayne costume - seriously? Who cares if someone dresses like a crappy rapper? How does one rapper speak for the black community? Was it necessary for it to be that long of an arc - I don't think so.
The 100th episode was probably the "best" episode of this season.
Let's see if they can keep that up, but I likely doubt that they can IMO.
Was just thinking the other day that when the girls were born, they can't've looked anything alike. Switches do happen -- albeit rarely -- but between babies that could really be mistaken for one another, not one blond and the other with black hair.
