What Family Actually Means (S02E09)

Hodnotil jsem tentokrát jen třemi hvězdičkami, přestože se děly zajímavé věci, atmosféru v domě Carol Cumberland by mohl závidět nejeden současný hororový režisér a atmosféru v rodině Marksových nejeden současný režisér psychodramat, ale přes Nomin proslov a závěrečné umírání ta čtvrtá hvězdička projít nemohla. Na to jsem příliš velký cynik. (07.02.2019)

Nejlepší scéna bezesporu ta ve které Dani má telefonát a domluví Litovi schůzku na roli ve filmu. Ta scéna neměla chybu a uvědomil jsem si, že seriál má super humor vždycky, když je na plátně Lito. Jinak konec je hodně emotivní. (16.12.2021)

Tentokrát mě bavila i dějová linka trans lesby Nomi a taktéž jsem se bavil u dějové linky Lita, protože sledovat Dani, jak se přimlouvá za Lita bylo super! Samozřejmě nemůžu opomenout emotivní finále. Prostě skvělá epizoda. (18.04.2021)

Skôr taká premosťovacia epizóda, než dejom a akciou nabitá jazda. Ale aj také diely seriál potrebuje. Všetky dejové línie sú rovnomerne rozložené, najviac zrejme zaujme svadba Nominej sestry, i keď pre hlavnú dejovú líniu nie je nijako podstatná. Jej pointou je však vyústenie vzťahov s vlastnými rodičmi, kedy sa ukáže, kto skutočne za ňou z rodiny stojí. Hlavnú os rozprávania tentokrát ženie vpred islandská dídžejka, ostatné postavy riešia svoje súkromné problémy. (23.09.2019)

"My name is Nomi. I am Teagan's only sibling, which means, yes, I am her former brother-now-sister. This may come as a surprise to some of you. I'm a subject my parents prefer to avoid. Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. As someone not usually invited to these family functions, I admit that, for a long time, I related the idea of family to Nietzsche's "That which does not kill you makes you stronger." But I don't think that way about family anymore. And that's largely due to my sister Teagan. So, let me tell you a little bit about her. Everybody thinks Teagan is really nice, but it's not true. She isn't nice. She's super nice. Like, sickeningly nice. She was born a vegetarian. I remember her apologizing before eating french fries because they were related to Mr. Potato Head. And, yes, she did go to Greece to help Syrian refugees. It was hard being Teagan's sibling because she was so perfect. She was smart, and funny, and pretty. Bluebirds followed her to school. I, on the other hand, was the opposite. I was the difficult one. I was troubled. I remember an early therapy session with my mother where we were just screaming at each other until she blurted out, "Why can't you be more like Teagan?" Be careful what you wish for, Mom. Teagan and I got into huge fights, too. I know I was trying to provoke her. I once tore up her diary. I wanted her to get angry, to feel depressed, to have a fit. To be more like me. The worst fight we ever had was just before my operation. She came to my apartment. I think, like most cisgendered people, she didn't understand why I had to have surgery. She was scared for me. I think a small part of her wanted to talk me out of it. And then she found out I had forged my mother's signature on the medical consent forms and we both realized she now had the power to stop me. I got scared. I said some pretty terrible things that I regretted as soon as I said them. She left and I wondered if that was it, if our relationship was over. The night before I went into the hospital was the longest and the loneliest I've ever felt in my life. But no one stopped me. When I woke up the first thing I felt was Teagan's hand holding mine. Her smile was the first thing I saw. And her voice singing "Happy Birthday" was the first thing I heard. It was in that moment my sister taught me what "family" actually means. So, Tom treat my sister well, because if you don't - I swear I - will find you. To Teagan. The best sister anyone could hope for. I love you. And I wish you and Tom all the best." (08.09.2018)
