Spoilers: S1 am i the only one who despises Brandon? 😭😭

6 Upvotes

i think he’s creepy, weird and selfish. he acts like he’s all high and mighty when he’s done worse shit than the rest of them have. he destroys his future over and over and constantly finds someone else to blame.

his relationship with Callie was disgusting. i absolutely think he was in the wrong there. she was an abused, messed up teenage girl and he took advantage of that. he was possessive and weird about the whole thing and put his own selfish wants before what she needed. she was the vulnerable one in that position and he should’ve known better.

First watch- school politics

I’m on S5ep8 and I’m just a little confused. If monte leaves the why would the principal vote (and position?) automatically go to drew? He was a temp while Lena was on leave… now that she’s back why is he there and why is he the automatic choice if/when monte leaves? Lena has seniority and held the VP position for years. Idk seems like a plot hole they didn’t fill

Spoilers: S3 Callie’s foster/adoption storyline

21 Upvotes

I’m currently rewatching The Fosters, having originally watched it when it aired, although I fell off around this point in the series. I’m genuinely curious to hear what other people think about this storyline.

I’m finding myself increasingly exhausted by the constant will they/won’t they and seemingly endless roadblocks surrounding Callie’s foster placement and adoption. I was initially invested because I wanted to see her finally find a permanent home, but at this point, the repeated obstacles are starting to pull me out of the realism of the story.

I want Callie to have a happy ending as much as anyone, but let’s be honest, in a realistic setting, I struggle to believe she would have remained in the Adams-Foster household after the situation with Brandon came to light. At the very least, I’d expect serious safeguarding concerns and potentially a move to another placement. Given the circumstances, I’m increasingly questioning how the family could realistically remain eligible to adopt her.

Personally, I think the show could have taken a much more interesting route by allowing Callie to pursue emancipation, live independently and choose to remain part of the Foster family without needing to be legally adopted. Because ultimately, what does a piece of paper really mean when the bond she’s built with Lena and Stef is already stronger than the legal status of their relationship?

I think that would have been a much bolder direction to take. It could have explored what family actually means beyond legal definitions, Callie’s journey towards independence, and the idea that she could finally have a home and people who love her without needing the system to formally validate that relationship.

I want Callie to be adopted and given that happy ending, but I’m starting to think the show missed an opportunity to tell a much more nuanced and compelling story by making adoption the ultimate measure of whether she truly belongs.

deleted scenes ?

7 Upvotes

are there any scenes from the show that you guys remember seeing but now they’re gone ? cause i remember a scene where mariana is putting callie’s name on their bedroom door and callie asks what she’s doing and she says it’s our room now or something like that. now when i rewatch, callie’s name is just randomly on the door and never mentioned.

Spoilers: S4 How did Mariana get into Jesus’ pills AGAIN?!

24 Upvotes

Rewatching and this show is just…irritating. First, I don’t know why Jesus was responsible for medicating himself. His pills should’ve been put away after Mariana got into them the first time. And now she’s at it again. And Lena, who is questioning her at the hospital, knew the pills were missing and didn’t ask about them! What the heck?

Has anyone else noticed that when Connor is shot in the foot, he’s shown in the hospital with his left foot injured. But in the episode when Stef takes him & Jude to the shooting range, his right foot is injured?

Why is she such a saggy bitch to everyone? Like does she not want to work with teens? Then why tf is she running a school. Not only that but she’s so rude to Callie; Lena’s kid, her COLLEAGUES kid. She’s always in suchhhhhh a fucking bad mood like what a drag. I hate her down.

Watching GT after The Fosters and I'm getting bored

11 Upvotes

Okay so, I finished The Fosters a few weeks ago and started Good Trouble because I really like Mariana's and Callie's sister dynamic. But I'm kind of getting bored tbh. They're currently kind of not talking in season 2 and even since season 1 we don't really see them interacting together that much. I do like their arcs individually (especially Mariana's, I'm not that into Callie's love interest) but idk something's missing and I think it's because we don't see them together that much.

I went to the other Fosters' family wiki pages to see which episodes they would appear in cause atp I'm just waiting for those.

I don't hate the other characters but idk I can't see to get invested in any of their stories.

I think I'll just skip to only Mariana and Callie from now on.

And from what I've seen a lot of people have watched GT first and really liked it, maybe I was too quick to watch GT and I miss the family idk.

Is it just me or is there a lot of focus on…s3x?

17 Upvotes

I’m rewatching for the first time. On season 3. I don’t think I noticed this during my first watch, but this show really does fixate on sex and SA. Liam and Callie, Liam and the foster girl who’s name I can’t remember, Dani and Brandon, Ana and Gabriel, Monty and Sally (student). And all of the kids are having sex or contemplating it. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a prude, but there’s just a lot of it here.

Spoilers: S4 Compassion for Nick

11 Upvotes

I need to get this very protective feeling I have towards Nick off my chest. I feel like he made a mistake, and I really think he had a psychotic break, but I think he really did the best that he could with what he had. I mean, he clearly didn't have the emotional skills to handle the situation well, and he was very dependent on Mariana, but I think he had his reasons. He was genuinely a guy who was just asking for some affection and for people to be honest with him. I feel like Mariana and JesĆŗs sometimes lacked that compassion. I'm at the part where he hurts JesĆŗs, but I really feel bad for him because he was trying to do the right thing, even when he knew the damage he was causing Mariana.

Good Trouble Wyatt Spoiler

15 Upvotes

I've rewatched The Fosters and Good Trouble multiple times and I always wished Wyatt appeared in Good Trouble. I know he was mentioned a couple times in Good Trouble because he was working with Jesus. But I honestly wish he showed up as someone for Callie. I always wish they got a real chance at being a couple without all the craziness of both their families and situations. Never saw Jamie and Gael as a good match for Callie honestly. And never understood Mariana and Wyatt being put together in The Fosters towards the end. Plus it seemed like the Hunter family was just dating the Adams-Foster family exclusive after Brandon and Eliza got married. I think they even made a joke about that in the show too lol.

Spoilers: S1 Callie and Brandon

18 Upvotes

I’m rewatching and don’t remember past mid season 2 so no spoilers past season one please, idk if they fix this somehow but I feel like Brandon took advantage of Callie, seemingly unintentionally. But in the beginning it was like a crush yet Brandon didn’t know about Liam yet, but then he did and that’s when he started making moves, imo Callie didn’t seem to even acknowledge it until Brandon kept making moves and then she ran away and Brandon was ā€œthe only oneā€ reaching out even tho it was harmful to her so of course someone who is used to abadonment and abuse is gonna cling to them yknow?

Honestly just curious if this is a controversial opinion about Brandon

I can’t IMAGINE watching the show week by week when it came out, expecting to have a few weeks left of seeing my favorite characters at what I thought would be the last few looks of them at that point in time and then the time jump!

It isn’t my first time watching but I think I just forgot this element of the original series ending because I watched Good Trouble and thought I was remembering the details from that.
