Rambling thoughts on Episode 4x08 Control Freak
I knew the tux scene would be in the beginning – it was too perfect of an introduction to the full extent of Owen’s Dadzillaness – and Rob played it well (I feel sorry for his sons when they get married – I also love how they roast him all the time)
I love how Mateo has NEVER been afraid or shy of showing his emotions – going all the way back to when the 126 found out about Owen’s cancer in Season 1
So, if they are wearing the tuxes at Owen’s house – that means they already bought them – Dude – they aren’t cheap – let them wear the traditional stuff if that is what they picked out.
“I don’t have words” then continue to spew a lot of words.
I love the build up that we see in both TK and Carlos – How they are trying to humor Owen – even though it is making them both miserable.
The Grant guy kinda reminds me of Matthew Lillard from Scream.
That is some perfect lipstick on Marj.
Trying to figure out when the girl put the note on Marj’s bike
This was exactly what driving with my mother was like – I made it a whole entire block before refusing to drive with her in the car. This dad is so much like my mom.
When my mom was pregnant with me, my father drove up the guidewire of a power pole. He was 16 and dumb as fuck. He did it on purpose and didn’t make it that far up, but the whole car was on the wire. – Fortunately for my mom (and me) she refused to be in the car when he tried it. He is a fucking moron.
So much of this call is terrifying. The kid does an awesome job.
When do they have time to play operation? Do they have it in the firehouse game cabinet?
This reminds me of having to evacuate people from Roller Coasters on the lift hills when I worked at Cedar Point. It was kinda terrifying at times for the people (and depending on which coaster – for me too) and the security of it felt about the same as this rescue.
I am loving Paul – I love how he is so blunt when trying to rescue people – it can really help to get them out of their heads – this time he just needed an assist from the kid in the car. “Just shut up and let me help you.” Wesley.
I honestly thought we were going to get the first death of the season (outside of the nazi storyline) – I really liked the high risk of this rescue
TK is so used to control freaks that this dad doesn’t even faze him – just push the dad in the back of the rig and move on
Ahh the lunch scene is so cute
50% of wedding guests leave after the cake is served & toasts/first dances are done – this is my experience from the literal 100’s of weddings I have been a part of. If you have a cash bar – you lose another 20% with in an hour of the cake/dances.
I love the looks that each person gives Mateo when he corrects Carlos on the monk fruit.
Somebody has to stand up to him – so you call Mom.
I am on team Tarlos with not wanting their parents planning their wedding – sorry – but it is their day.
I find it absolutely fucking hilarious that Carlos “control freak & pushy bastard” Reyes called Owen a control freak. He wasn’t wrong – but it was a little bit funny.
I have had some pretty decent gluten & vegan free cakes.
Coach Beiste – I love seeing Dot-Marie Jones on anything – I love her
I love PI Marj
“Better you a kook then her dead.” That is actually a really powerful line. Doing/saying something in the face of domestic violence can be scary, but is so fucking necessary. I have no regrets for the times that I have stepped in, none. I can’t imagine the regrets I would have if I hadn’t done anything.
The centerpieces he was doing were no where near as dramatic as I had imagined. (the pic above was my idea of Owen’s wedding moodboard.) The ones in the floral shop looked vastly different & were much more dramatic.
Carlos’ “Really?” when Owen said that his feelings wouldn’t be hurt if Andrea picked the other cake makes me laugh – like he is so so very doubtful.
They are so cocky coming in – the grins, the smirks, the looks.
I love silent communication – my husband and I are very similar and it is so convenient.
They are so mad that they liked that cake – like regretting so many things right now.
Carlos is trying so fucking hard to remind his mom that she is on team Tarlos not team Dadzilla.
Orchids are fucking expensive & fragile as fuck
The dawning of the awareness that Andrea turned zilla was so well done. Ronen and Rafa always have such amazing facial expressions.
I had a feeling the girl wouldn’t leave in the semi – it seemed like it was too easy and clean of a conclusion to their story – curious on if she is in the next ep or if it is just him.
Those are insane for each table – totally overwhelming
Fuck the flower arches too
I do like that they are not just forgetting that Carlos was married – like that we aren’t expected to forget about it.
“There’s a flower arch now?” the rise in TK’s voice is the beginning of him getting ready to go off and I fucking loved it
I love him.
That scene was amazing and everything I needed from them – the wedding is about the couple and what they want/feel – I loved that TK was the one to snap
This dude is fucking nuts – maybe
I love the talk between Owen and Andrea – I love how she admits to him what her biggest regret was.
I love how she tricked Owen while eating cake.
“Their ideas were just dull” – “At least they were their dull ideas”
They were mostly coming from a good and/or understandable place – but, I am glad that they realized that TK and Carlos need to be the ones to make the decisions on their wedding.
I kinda thought Marjan was going to be in the motorhome – but tied up in the back (before it was revealed that she was riding behind them)
Nice use of the fire extinguisher Marj – I was wondering if that would come back into play when she told them to keep it
I am hoping that the woman stays away from the guy in the next ep – like I hope that she doesn’t go back to him when he gets out of jail – I didn’t see her in the promo, but they love to hide shit with editing on those.
“Slightly overboard?” – slight exaggeration.
I wonder when Owen’s mom passed (really I am assuming she did, but who knows) for him to think that TK wouldn’t still need his dad after he got married.
Like I have been married for over 10 years and I still need my mom.
I think TK will leave tea bags in all mugs forever around Owen now.
I was actually worried that I wouldn’t like the talk between TK & Owen – this show likes to make TK blame himself for things & I was worried that they were going to go in that direction – so I was so fucking happy with the talk that they had.
This was a talk that felt more like them, like father and son instead of coworkers & sarcastic quips at work.
Owen did something with TK that he has a VERY hard time doing – he showed his vulnerability to him, his fear of not being needed in TK’s life.
I am looking forward to next ep – how much shit does Marj go through? She looked really messed up & I wonder if Paul or Paul and Judd (from the stills we got before the season starts) find her when they all go out looking for her & happen to be the ones that save her from the abusive guy.
