This episode is mostly about Julia moving away, and taking Elizabeth with her. The Walker family is understandably sad, and it also means that Tommy is probably not coming back. I read somewhere that the actor Balthazar Getty, was having some trouble in his personal life, and that the show didn’t renew his contract. Because of this, they didn’t renew Jane Morris (Julia)’s contract either. This is a bummer because the whole show is about brothers and sisters, and what does that mean when the oldest brother is written off the show? I’m wondering if both stars will come back and do guest appearances for upcoming episodes.

I was extremely disappointed in Kitty’s behavior. I thought her character had more morals than that, but I guess not. Remember the hot park guy? Well she kisses him. After Robert figures out that she’s been coming to the park every day to visit him. After Robert shows his extreme hurt, and after Sarah warns Kitty that this all would happen, and to not do it. I guess they’re going to write Robert off the show now? It’s weird because I liked him when he first appeared on the show. But then I hated his political campaign and all of those stupid ideas he had, about putting his career before his family. So we’ll see. In a way, I like hot park guy too, but I think Kitty still should have at least separated from her husband before sucking his face!

The side story line about Rebecca and Ryan is getting a little bit more interesting, now that Rebecca seems to realize that Ryan is a creep. I also think Holly is incredibly deceiving with the way she manipulates Ryan into working for Ojai Foods, just so she can count on his board vote. I don’t get Holly at all. She hates the Walkers, yet she wants to work for their family business. She’s an evil homewrecker is what she is. But the show wouldn’t have sauce without her would it?

When I rented Wall-e, I thought I was in for a light hearted movie about a cute little robot. Good wholesome, brainless Disney-PIXAR fun. What I didn’t expect was a movie that focused on Americans and our increasing problems with laziness, wastefulness, and obesity. It paints the picture of a world overflowing with trash, where we’ve created robots to basically do everything for us. Humans are fat little orbs who chat on computers and never really look at one another. In their own little hover bubbles, they suck down liquid cupcakes and lead a boring existence in space, because Earth has been turned into a giant trash heap.
If you’re at home on social security disability because you’ve gotten too fat to get out of your computer chair, then this movie is a wake up call for you. I was amazed by the amount of depth in this little cartoon movie. Of course it was still cutesy and fun, with a love story about two robots, and adorable sound effects from the little robot with the big heart. Still, it had amazing insight for an animated movie, and really hits home considering our current habits as a wasteful, lazy, and drastically overweight population. I think a lot can be learned from the overall message of this movie. Plus, it was just fun to watch!
