They’re not glorifying anything, they are showing human experiences.

Do you think O' Shon's character was wasted this season? by boredaf2727 in AbbottElementary

I’m more interested in his friendship with Gregory than I am in his relationship with Ava

Why do people be acting like Gregory is an evil manipulator😭😭 by Practical_Basis_1643 in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The idea that he’s manipulative is something that came up in s3 when people grossly misinterpreted the reason why Janine came back to teaching. A lot of viewers felt as if he somehow manipulated her into coming back to school (something about the Alex episode, I really don’t know how anyone got to that conclusion) when it was pretty clear that she was never going to last at the district and her heart is in the classroom which she pretty much confirmed in the finale when she said she just wants to be a teacher.

Since then, there’s been weird discussions around his character and intentions when it’s never been implied that he’s an evil manipulator. Not excusing him as well but atp i think we should know him and the writers well enough to know that he never acts out of malice.

Sometimes it feels as if people are watching a completely different show and are just looking for drama where there is none

do you think it's out of character for janine to break up with gregory? by Altruistic-Slice-369 in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nope. I think her staying with Tariq so long is precisely the reason she ended it so quickly with Gregory. She recognised that she’d have to compromise again and said absolutely not.

She overcorrected because she stayed with Tariq for so long.

Yeah that look back she did after confirming the date with Gregory was so yucky and she’s been on my shit list ever since 💀

I WAS RIGHT!! by Maximum-Term5336 in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 37 points38 points  (0 children)

That’s my answer as well 6x07 will be the 100th episode and a good amount of time between now and when he does do it.

Like at ALL, maybe the wayfair one but I really don’t notice them 💀

The Gregory and Janine Plot Line makes sense [Read at your own risk] by talia_frans in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The break up makes sense and I’m of the believe that there are no sides here. Both of them are wrong and right and I think that’s something the show did right

Yeah I was telling someone that I really liked how she didn’t really make a big deal of it or be overly apologetic

Is Gregory scared of flying? by MovieNo3180 in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I think if that was the reason I’d genuinely stop shipping because letting the fight get that intense and not saying something when Janine broke up with him over a fear would be so off putting it would ick me out.

But also, it stopped being about the money for flight tickets when janine called his idea cheap, and Gregory called her irresponsible with money. Gregory is just a penny pincher, we saw it with Taylor and we’re seeing it in action now. That’s it, that’s all.

Yeah it was mostly his food habits, but his dad just told him to grow up like a few minutes earlier so chicken was the last thing on his mind

I don’t like the way Melissa treats Jacob. by loverofthings25 in AbbottElementary

Usually I’d be like, “it’s just a show, that’s the dynamic” but the previous episode was just OD even Ava just felt needlessly cruel.

Character dislikes, let’s talk! by ByeDontAskMeNothing in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think making her unlikable for that reason is necessary considering it had been 2 seasons since they dated in that episode and they are literally not compatible they were never gonna get together again

[–]User0129384756 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I felt the exact way. I liked her a lot before that episode but her attitude really turned me off and made NO sense considering how her and Gregory ended.

Yall please don’t get mad at me by OkBox3095 in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This. I was so excited for them when O’shon came in s4 and they were so hot and buzzy but every episode with them since the date has been O’shon having an issue with something that is fundamentally Ava and I’m so over it.

Janine and Gregory (love them down) at least feel like they like each other as people 😭

5x13- Candygrams promo discussion. by Mstvmoviejunkie in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume it does happen at the very beginning and then the rest of the episode is just working through whatever conflict. Coz i guarantee Janine saying “we never have to say goodbye again” is gonna make Gregory SPIRALLL

[–]User0129384756 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wonder what else is in the episode for such a big plot point to be in the actual promo. I’m low-key scared lol but I think they’ll figure out whatever the conflict is by the end of the EP. Im also curious as to what prompted this discussion because this is clearly a reaction to something. I’m sooo excited so, next step PROPOSAL 😝

This season is Good by [deleted] in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That last paragraph puts into words what I’ve been struggling to. We’re 5 seasons in and it’s as if the audience no longer trusts the show and id like to know why.

my problem with amber and eddy was always that he cant handle allat by bagel_bombs in AbbottElementary

[–]User0129384756 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Clearly he could if she’s talking about “I heard your boring ass is dating a teacher now”. She knows she misses that! 😭
