There She Goes – Series 2, Episode 5 Review

“Just when you think she can’t surprise you, she does. She keeps becoming more of a person, don’t you?”
Simon

In a way, it feels like these two lines sum up There She Goes. It’s not easy with Rosie – it hasn’t been when she was younger, and it certainly isn’t now – but ultimately, underneath the messes and the noises and the difficulties, she’s Rosie. She’s right there. And even though progress is slow, there is progress. Rosie is growing up.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but We Need to Talk About Rosie felt a bit different.

After two emotional and intense episodes, it was nice to have a bit of a break with a lighter, more relaxed episode. For the most part, at least.

There was something utterly heartbreaking about every single 2008 scene in this episode.

Chasing Happiness Review

There’s beauty to Chasing Happiness that my 13-year-old self wouldn’t have been able to grasp. I don’t think even my crushed-over-their-breakup 17-year-old self could grasp it. Maybe, like Chasing Happiness suggests, you just have to go a certain way and develop on your own before you can see certain things.

Just like a lot of women my age, the Jonas Brothers were a big part of my life at a certain point. It wasn’t something I followed on my own; it’s very likely that I wouldn’t have cared for them at all if it wasn’t for my little sister. Nonetheless, she was hooked the moment she was introduced to their music (to the point I scoured half the world to find a copy of Be Mine), and admittedly, I fell in love, too. We’d hang out in the living room, singing out loud as we played Tonight, Fly With Me or Paranoid (the clips Disney Channel had here) over and over and over again on telly. It was… magical.
