Well, it's been a bit longer than I said it would be, but we've got two more #LainaWatchesAnne threads to wrap up Project Green Gables season 2. Today we've got episodes 21-30 and then Thursday we'll finish the series.

#LainaWatchesAnne I hope you all aren't too confused about this - I'm trying to do book, then relevant adaptation, book, adaptation, whenever possible and that does mean we're jumping around between serieses sometimes.

#LainaWatchesAnne Just remember you can either check my masterthreads or my blog (...which I will update shortly) if you need to refresh yourself on anything.

#LainaWatchesAnne When last we left off, Anne had just started the tutoring job that's the stand-in for the teaching of the book.

Episode 21 is Anne talking about her "students".

#LainaWatchesAnne She mostly just shares some funny stuff they've said. Not too much plot here to report, just some cute worldbuilding.

#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 22 is called "A Chad Day" instead of "A Jonah Day" and I cackled at that.

The opening is also really funny. Anne: "I've done a bad, bad thing."

#LainaWatchesAnne We're replacing toothache with killer cramps, also, which is fair, since we have, like, dentists now. I like the frank period talk, too.

On this bad day, too, Anne also caused a small lab explosion.

#LainaWatchesAnne And then Anthony Pye was Anthony Pye.

He had the nerve to say to Anne: "You're only here because you need money since your fake dad died."

Someone give me a pointer and let me at him. I'll do it myself!

#LainaWatchesAnne Since it's been a minute, I'm going to remind you that in this adaptation, Anthony is now only a year younger than Anne, physically a lot larger than her, and also a racist little prick.

#LainaWatchesAnne Anne told him to hand his phone over and he refused - and then HE SPIT AT HER.

HE. SPIT. AT. HER.

So she slapped him across the face.

Good.

She's upset, but I'm not. Should have slapped him again.

#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 23 is "The Aftermath". With bonus Paul!

Anthony didn't file a complaint and apparently likes Anne now. Like I said, should have slapped him twice.

Paul basically suggests Anne use Anthony as a personal bodyguard, lol.

#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 24 is just like a little update. Apparently the school council is making prom a thing?

We don't really do prom in Canada. Like a couple schools here and there might, but it's not a big thing like in the US. We mostly just do grad.

#LainaWatchesAnne This is really just so Judson Parker can buy votes to be Prom King, but honestly not really a thing here, lol.

I wonder if the actors just had finals or something and were too busy to film XD

#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 25 is Gilbert, Anne, and Jane updating that with the whole "never mind false alarm Judson's not doing anything" thing the book did. It's not super memorable - I just got super confused by my notes LOL.

But it is book accurate.

#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 26 is about Dora going missing. Apparently she disappeared while Marilla was at the store and just like in the book, they find her in the shed

This episode seems to take this a lot more seriously than the book actually did.

#LainaWatchesAnne The episode is updated to be more about punishments and stuff than Anne trying to inspire Davy to be better through, like, whimsy XD

Also honestly there's a TON less Davy in this season than in the book and I appreciate that lol

#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 27 is another "Chatting with Gil" episode. They talk about Buffy and Firefly and I don't care.

I mean it has valid points about bierasal and stuff, but I just don't care XD Sorry but I'm not sorry.

#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 28 is a montage of Anne taking care of her hair.

It's cute. She does some twists.

This is not exactly a place where I have much to add for obvious reasons lol

#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 29 - it's spring! It's the woods birthday party. They explicitly confirm it's Anne's birthday, so it's March.

Party consists of Anne, Diana, Jane, and Priscilla. They goof around a bit and it's cute. It's basically the same as the chapter in the book.

#LainaWatchesAnne And episode 30 is a Diana episode! I missed her.

This is the Charlotte Morgan plot! She was going to come for dinner but we know how that goes.

#LainaWatchesAnne Charlotte sprained her ankle, Priscilla's text never went through because Avonlea reception sucks, and Davy ruined Anne's spinach quiche.

#LainaWatchesAnne Anne, Diana, and Marilla all added salt to the gravy, rendering it inedible, but they still served it before realizing. This is basically combining the liniment scene from the first book, but with Miss Stacey politely eating it anyways instead, which is cool.

#LainaWatchesAnne I like that they included that here, since it wasn't in the first season. It's a nice touch.

And, of course, Davy broke Aunt Jo's platter that Anne had borrowed to show Marilla.

So just an all around disaster.

#LainaWatchesAnne And that's it for these episodes! We'll finish the season on Thursday. If you liked this thread, please consider RTing some of it so other people can find it and if you'd like to support me, my tip jar is open ko-fi.com/A0602GN
