in which i get way too involved in a tv show

Basically I'm obsessed with the show Parenthood. I usually love things with giant extended families in it (7th Heaven, Dan in Real Life just to name a few). I don't know what it is about this show, but it's amazing. Seriously.
Anyway, I just watched last night's episode and it was like the best ever. And I'm feeling all the feelings so I thought I should blog about it. There was nothing about this episode that I didn't like. So, let's talk about some of the things (SPOILERS sorry):

1. That whole Crosby and Zeek storyline. Beautiful. I feel like they've done a wonderful job with Crosby's character. I don't really like him and he's sort of annoying, but I think deep down he means well and I think that comes across a lot in this episode. I know what it's like to be afraid when you realize that your parents aren't immortal. It's actually something I've been dealing with lately. And while I'm not as old as Crosby and my parents are not as old as Zeek and Camille, I know that day is coming. Sooner than I would like. It's scary. You want your parents to be there always because they always have been. But they aren't going to be. This whole storyline. Goodness. It just really got to me.
2. Max. Goodness gracious Max. I have a brother who has some similar characteristics to Max and it's just weird to see it all play out on TV. My brother and Max are not the same by any means, but there are so many moments when they break my heart. And, can someone please answer this question: Why are there still PE teachers that have kids pick their own teams? It's possibly the worst form of humiliation to be rejected by your peers so blatantly obviously. It seems like we're so worried about kids' self-esteem that we do all kinds of other things to protect them, why not stop this whole popularity team picking whatever nonsense? Seriously.
3. Drew is so lovely. I absolutely sympathize with him. He's not even an adult yet and his mom is already moving on, or at least that's how he feels. And it's heartbreaking to see. Because he's right. None of this is fair to him.
4. I might be the only person in Parenthood fandom that isn't super excited for Sarah and Mark to have a baby. Can they like get married first please? Or is this something we don't do anymore? I would be okay with them thinking about getting married, but come on, their relationship isn't ready for a child. Does Sarah even make money? She lives with her parents. I think she has enough issues to deal with in her already existing family without bringing a baby into it. I just don't understand why they talk so much about having a baby, but they haven't mentioned getting married. I have a problem with this.
5. Amber and Bob. I'm not okay with Amber and Bob's relationship. It's unprofessional. I've read a lot of comments about how she's 19! and they're both adults! and it's all legal and it's all their business! But I don't think that makes it right. She works for him. Maybe after the campaign. Maybe. And also, just because she's legally an adult doesn't mean that she's necessarily the best at making decisions.
6. Once again, I feel like I'm the only person that totally agrees with/identifies with Kristina. I love Kristina. She got Amber that job and then Amber is in this inappropriate relationship with her boss. Ew. And I don't blame Haddie for being concerned. Goodness, Kristina and Haddie are my favorites.
7. Julia annoys me, but I understand her. I'm kind of tired of this whole baby adoption storyline honestly. I feel like it's been dragged out for too long and nothing is really resolved.
8. Joel is the perfect man. Still.

Okay, I think that's it. This show just does something to me.
