Mot Morenzi Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 As wonderful as it is to see Viv reunite with Lucy for the first time since leaving the show, I have some issues with this episode. Firstly, I find it baffling that the writers decided Lucy didn't attend Viv's wedding. Another missed opportunity: Lucy and Viv reminiscing about the wedding, thus providing us with at least a description of events that should've been depicted. Not only that, but Lucy appears never to have met Mr. Bunson, which seems highly illogical. I remember seeing an earlier draft of the script for sale on eBay years ago. A few preview pages were shown, including their discussion at the airport. In this version, Viv said her husband's name was Charlie instead of Vern. Fortunately this was omitted, thus preventing another name continuity error. I know a lot of people get a kick out of the girls in hippie swag, but I find it odd that this was the best reunion plot the writers could come up with. From the over exaggerated portrayals of the younger hippies to Lucy and Viv's stuffy, holier than thou attitudes, the show reeks of narrow mindedness. All in all, this one was a misfire in my book. I find the Joan Crawford episode the following season to be the best of their TLS reunion episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chedderchester Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yeah I find it funny when Lucy and Viv keep making up those stupid dances (the Chipmunk!!) but it's still pretty silly. I find it hard to believe within 3 months Viv got married, and there was absolutely zero mention of this Mr. Bunson at the end of season 3. She should've gotten married to Eddie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 You have to love the huge hug Lucy gives Viv in the airport. Look close and you can see Lucy wipe away a tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the reunion scene itself is fantastic. Extremely touching. I just think the dialogue about Viv's wedding could've been more revealing. And I also love the scene in Mooney's office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
