Somethings never change. Anne still has a certain whimsy to her and her imagination and kindness remains both the show’s hook and inspiring. In fact, despite the hold Josie formerly had on all the girls, now they are more than willing to hang out with Anne without her around. However, when it comes to the boys, nothing has changed. Billy and the re...
Marilla and Matthew Find Their Voice
When we met Marilla and Matthew, they were reserved in personality and in how they socialized. In fact, outside of Rachel, arguably only the mailman had any reason to head over to Green Gables. Yet, through Anne, we see them both open up exponentially. Reason being, though no one can replace Michael, and it isn’t made clear who Michael was to Marilla but her brother, Anne sort of assumed his role in their lives. Starting with Matthew, one could argue Matthew’s love for Anne is enhanced by his...
Sebastian’s Storyline
Setting aside Sebastian being a major introduction since, so I’ve read, there wasn’t a large focus on people of color in the source material, if at all, let’s talk about his actual story. More often than not, when it comes to Black characters in the 1800s, their storylines revolve around being slaves. It’s just what strangely sells in the western world. However, Sebastian is a free man and while his mother seemingly didn’t escape the role her ancestors played, Sebastian has his freedom. Troub...
Rachel
Recognizing Rachel often is a bit much, in many ways you have to appreciate it. For a woman of her time, to be boastful, a commanding presence, and yet still someone very lovey-dovey with her husband, and a good friend at times, it makes her one of the most well-rounded characters on the show. Add in that she has the ideal relationship, one in which she is partners with her husband, Thomas, and they perhaps become the closest thing to what Anne talks about this season. For as seen throughout...
The Mr. Dunlop/ Nate Saga
This seems like an idea that people got excited about, especially to close out the first season but when it came time to deal with how to address two con artist in Avonlea? There was no good resolution. So, like how we saw on screen, it was just powered through and once it was done, it just didn’t get talked about. Which is the most hilarious and sad thing about the Dunlop/Nate saga. Rachel mentions how people will forgive eventually and that’s it. We don’t see kids get mad at Diana for her p...
Diana’s Growth
While you have to adore Diana, especially when she stuck up for Anne as she came to the conclusion she is plain and ugly, there isn’t much to say about her. That is, who Diana is outside of Anne. Yes, she gets a slight moment when, as Mrs. Barry says she has to be a lady, she snaps on Minnie May and that forces Mrs. Barry to let her kids be kids. Yet, the major moment she could have had, which dealt with coming to terms with her aunt being queer and that she could have a life outside of somet...
What To Do About Jerry
I appreciate Jerry for what little we get of him. He is but a simple French boy who is kind of like Anne’s little brother. Including like a second child to Marilla and Matthew. Leading to quite a few touching moments in which Jerry, as Nate tortures him, finding comfort with Matthew. That is, alongside, after Anne spends some of her time teaching Jerry to write and read, him giving her a Christmas card. Granted, with her name spelled “Ann,” without an E, but considering the boy couldn’t read...
Gilbert
While Gilbert’s story moves forward, like him deciding on becoming a doctor, I must admit it did feel like he took a bit of a step back. As if, his main purpose was to usher Sebastian into the show and his own life was secondary. Especially early in the season. By the end, as Sebastian found Mary and wasn’t reliant on Gilbert he found himself again, but it did feel like he was showing up late to the party.
The Flashback Scenes
Like the first season, flashbacks to Anne’s time in the asylum are used but they aren’t quite as effective. With it already being rather clear Anne had a hard time before becoming a Cuthbert, a lot of it seemed like footage cut from season 1 and repurposed. Most of which seemed like fat that should have been left on the cutting room floor. Especially this one character who bullies Anne and, because she is such a creep, licks her face. All for no real rhyme or reason, besides perhaps freaking...
The State of Jeannie and Matthew’s Relationship
We don’t get closure. They reconnect, walk and talk, then she is off to Paris. It sucks the love of Marilla’s life is dead but Matthew’s is not. Can he get married so Anne can be a flower girl and Marilla can ultimately feel her sacrifices have been worth it?
While I will admit the high from season 1 isn’t the same, nor the emotional roller coaster, if season 2 did replicate that it would be exhausting. Instead, it keeps the spirit alive and finds ways to enhance it. In some cases, it is in big ways like through Black and LGBT characters. In other ways, it just builds off what was established, like in t...
