"We accept the love we think we deserve."

The writers were so funny for that little "Thomas dreaming about the future" and "why don't we ever see Claire?" bit. Like I know they were giggling.

The two biggest remaining questions for me personally. I wanna know if Claire really exists! Or does the Nick & Alice relationship somehow get worked out with the time travels help in a way. I also would have liked to know where Griffin was at the end too, but that one isn’t as pressing of a question that I have. I would have loved to see some more scenes with young Colton and Griffin though if we’d gotten more seasons. Especially since I want to know who Griffin’s biological father was after the Colton father reveal in the finale. We know they would technically be half brothers.

My favorite "like grandfather like grandaughter" thing about Colton and Alice is how both of them, in a fit of teenage pique, rashly threw something they valued into the pond, immediately regretted it, bent down to try and retrieve it, lost their balance and fell face-first into the water, and that's how they discovered time travel.

People always talk about The Way Home from the angle of "imagine getting to hang out with and be friends with your mom as a teenager" and I agree but I also can't stop thinking from Fern's perspective. You have a best friend as a young adult. You get to hear about her daughter and her life. She holds you when you lose the love of your life. She's the first person you tell you're pregnant. Oh and yeah, she's your great-grandaughter. And you were there when she came home from the hospital. And you probably held her and tried to soothe her as she grew, and she never knew how much she meant to you the whole time because you can't tell her.
