grace and frankie season 7
I don't know if I'll turn any of this into actual meta, but I'm gonna write down my initial thoughts on the final season in no particular order
I loved the very end so much, and I loved that they didn't draw out the suspense of whether or not they'd choose each other and figure out a way to be happy together forever. The story offered, quite literally (and via Dolly Parton!?), the hope of a truly permanent togetherness.
Fully cried about Robert's memory loss. Too close to home. I'm rarely that invested in Robert and Sol's storylines, and I still couldn't care less about their stupid theater, but the entire memory thing was written and acted beautifully and it even made me hate Peter a little less.
This is hands down my favorite season in terms of how they addressed the issues with Grace's alcohol and drug consumption. Those things are a part of her, and it was clear for maybe the first time that Grace is fully aware that these addictions are a part of her. Her being the one to talk to Coyote about his near-relapse was brilliantly done and the kind of scene I used to long for from this show and have long since come to the terms with the fact that we'd never get. But we did. I love that Grace is firm that she doesn't want to go to an AA meeting with Coyote, and I love that he respects that. And I love that she does listen to him about what he observes, and acknowledges that turning to these pills is the wrong choice for her, and eventually changes the behavior. I have never believed Grace would ever quit drinking, and the conclusion to this part of the story made total sense to me for her character. In addition to Coyote, I really liked that a lot of different people commented on stuff related to substance use in a way that was honest but typically relatively non-judgmental.
Grace's parents. Grace's dad. God. Her dad was a completely different person than anyone I pictured for her parent, and I absolutely loved the way they painted that character entirely through Grace's memories. While Robert is suffering memory loss, Grace is simultaneously tapping deeply into memories she was too afraid to touch. 7x5-7x16 were just so much deeper than a lot of what I've come to expect from the show?
I really hated the writing in 7x1-7x4, and while I still don't LOVE how much time we spent on everyone on this show apparently always starting or promoting self-owned businesses while also being deeply in a life of crime or just about to start.......the writing itself was so much better in the 7b episodes than the 7a eps.
Grace is cool now. She has evolved. She's still got fences and rough edges, but she's more self-aware, and more aware of how she wants others to perceive her. Not how she's afraid of being perceived (as anything but the perfect WASP wife), but how she, the real her, "the Grace that she is with Frankie" is perceived. She says yes to the adventures. In some ways, this entire 7b season was like an extended Say Yes night.
Coyote and Jessica are the best side characters, and certainly the best of that generation of characters.
They painted together! And that will make it more possible for Frankie to mourn the way she used to be able to paint when she had full use of her hands. GOD.
I can't believe it's over and I'm so incredibly relieved I liked it. Grace and Frankie fandom has been and will continue to be such a lovely spot, and I'm so grateful for the friends I've made and experiences I had because of this show. I don't think the writers and showrunners always made the best use of the characters' time from a plot perspective, and I think there are shows out there that are more consistently beautifully written, but everyone who created Grace and Frankie truly made a gorgeous reflection on love, the ability to change and grow at any age, and the unfairness and inevitability and poignancy of the passage of time.

If ever we needed tangible proof that Frankie Bergstein is a chaotic Bisexual Mess™, that proof has been given to us canonically in the form of The One-At-A-Timing.

I will honestly never be able to understand why there are straight Gace and Frankie fans that like the whole Nick and Grace thing. I’m baffled™

so i've been rewatching the burglary/gun/pot arc on grace and frankie
and when frankie starts "filibustering" by singing, the lyric "she'll be wearing red pajamas when she comes" suddenly took on a WHOLE NEW MEANING in light of grace's... um, sleepwear fashion choices
(i am traaaaaash)

Grace/Frankie | rated a mild M | 2394 words
(I finished my post-7x4 vengeance fic, and just in time for the s7 trailer.)
“You know, ladies, this house is starting to feel like a prison,” Nick says, and immediately cracks up.

Sooooo......
I'm picking up an old idea. Dusting it off. Rethinking some aspects and hoping the fandom will like it. We'll see and I'll hope for the best.
