Time for a review of the 100th AHW episode. And I will say.... it was amazing! the story and direction were fantastic and overall a great episode, felt like we were back in Season 3 or even Season 4!(Notable as the best seasons)Ā
SPOILERS, Watch the episode if you havenāt already, or if you donāt care then read on ig.
So first off, I liked the mother-daughter/generations of women being passed down to somewhatĀ āterribleā orĀ ādiscouragingā mothers. But I believe Kathryn and Katie had good intentions, to try to keep the passed down child from being hurt. As seen with Katie trying to steer Anna-Kat from cheerleading because she could have been made fun of by those girls(only cause they are self-centered and only care about being popular, not Anna-Katās fault) I loved Gieselleās performance this episode, she really locked in herĀ āAnna-Katā for me and would love to see what she has to offer beyond this 5th season. However the step-mom was the real b**** and she shouldnāt be calling any shots or saying for peopleĀ āGet over itā A real piece of work she is. At least Kathryn and Katie evaluated their mistakes and made Anna-Kat see that she should blossom and try what she wants to do!
Second off, the upcoming break-up of Trip and Taylor is incoming.... Iām actually really sad about this and I thought we were passed this back in the 5th episode of this season, but apparently they want Taylor to grow out of Trip, or at least move on from him as sheās going through college. I mean I suppose its something that always happens, High School relationships donāt tend to stick, but its really the memories of Trip and how caring he was of the Ottos + Franklin and Cooper. Loved his scenes with Anna-Kat, love his scenes with Oliver and Cooper, especially the family photo episode. Possibly the best episode of the series IMO. So wholesome and showed how lighthearted the show and family truly were. But also its really hard to see others move on, and its life but it freaking sucks and I feel like this will be the sad/disappointment of the season, Cooper and Oliver will be fine, but Taylor and Trip are coming to an end it seems. All the parallels, all the interactions between the two couples.... the promise in Trip returning in the family pic in ten years, would it even happen anymore? I also love his bond between Cooper, they are such supportive and amazing boyfriends to Oliver and Taylor. Their interactions though are so wholesome and are best buds for sure!(Especially since they are the worst hiders in the world LOL, also Cooper being the worst liar but thatās okay lol, if you get the episode reference.) Its too sad and Iām rambling, but Iāll miss Trip. I blame TA lmao, he can leave for all I care. But no I suppose this is for Taylorās growth(Even if I hate it so much)
Franklin was funny, he really gets in your head lmao. Calling Cooper a dog though I- But he did get it in Cooperās head that he needed to have his own dreams so thatās cool. Good job Franky!(but not good job in making them fight smh)
Now for Cooper and Oliver....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OLIVER SAID ITĀ āWE ARE COOLIVER DAMN ITā YES ADMIT YOU ARE BOYFRIENDS AND SAY IT PROUD! To backtrack as well, Cooper opening the scene with his cooking is muy bueno! His food always looks good like wtf?! But anyways, funny scenes with believing everything that the attack ad from Principle Albulin said lol(politics in a nutshell) Like I said before, Cooper finally started to find his dreams. I personally didnāt mind him not having anything yet, and just wanted to be with Oliver. But Iām so glad that they took this opportunity to chase that plotline, Cooper being a chef and enjoying it now, Iām glad he has his own goals. So moving on, Trevor was still an ass but what else is new? I did like how Cooper defended himself though, pretty badass not to take his crap anymore. Cooliver fighting as well, not a conversation we like to hear, especially since it was pretty serious. We knew they would figure it out, but it still hurts-I did like how Oliver got his attitude in order and realized that Cooper isnāt just going to have his dreams, Cooper wanted his dreams too.Ā āNo thatās YOUR goal/dreamā A time where he got really serious and considered his future. Trevor saying that they were breaking up- Please Trevor, they would never, they always get like this. But yes they said some things.... But now moving on. Oliver did do the right thing and thought of Cooper, that chef apron was so loving and wholesome of him!Ā āYour boy got it rightā Stop Oliver, DONāT MAKE ME CRY- However to sum up Cooliver, it was some realization for them and realizing they donāt have to have the same goals to remain boyfriends. They can steer different directions and always end on the same street!(good overall IRL message too, no need to do everything together) They will always be together, even if they donāt spend every second together.
Cute ending scene between Cooliver too. I forgot the dialogue already but lol it was cute. Taylor is wanting Andre/TA, so yeah.... it was an amazing ride we had Trip, but..... (Iām going to go cry BRB!)
So Katie breaking the 4th wall was neat haha, hereās to 100 episodes AHW fandom, Cooliver fandom, every casual viewer! And hopefully many more episode to see and laugh, cry with. To enjoy. This fanbase is incredible, the cast is amazing, the crew gives their very best. To only great things for everyone and its audience, love you all!
Rating for Episode - 9.5/10. Flawless direction and plotline, just didnāt like Taylor and Tripās trajectory, but thatās subjective ig(although we all hate it lbr)
