Nashville Rewind

We discuss the series finale and whether or not it was satisfying for most people.  We talk about what might have made it better and what was spot on. Our take on Rayna’s return, why wasn’t Scunner the end game? Javery’s love story, Is Will healthy and why Zach?  Will Deacon end up with Jessie or Else?  Joe thinks Twig was “done dirty”! Why we think Alannah (Rainee Blake) was the best new character (it’s not because she did our podcast– but check it out #65).  Brad’s #metoo moment and all the wonderful songs!!   This is not the episode you want to miss!!!

We enjoyed this episode, although no Gunner and no Will. The acting by Charles Esten was outstanding once again.  There were some annoyances and that was mostly due to continuity errors and lack of detail.  Al and I still don’t think Gideon is as redeemed as he says he is.  Any chance Daphne gets voted out of Nashville’s Next?  Not a chance.

Where did mean Juliette go this episode?  Thought for sure she was going to take Allanah or Avery to task.

Scarlett is getting her mojo back.  She started to write a song.  Will she sing it with Gunner?

Good to see Jessie!! Oh and Hallie is back.

Songs

Let Love In——-Hallie

Fall to Fly——–Contestant #1  (Jenny Leigh)

Wow! What a dramatic episode!  We can’t say enough about the acting jobs by Charles Esten and Ronny Cox in this episode. We could feel the pain from Deacon and his Dad Gideon.  We look forward to more scenes from these two actors.

“Cliff Notes” summary.   Deacon’s Dad comes to town and says he is there just to start over. He doesn’t want a thing. After flashbacks and convincing by Maddie, Gideon ends up at Deacon and the girl’s house.

Allanah is promised to be featured for Shiny New Records and Brad says he is negotiating a tour with the Lumineers (That’s so 2012).  Allanah is convinced (so are we) that Brad wants more than a professional relationship.  He acts like that Weinstein fella by having his secretary set up “meetings”. Allanah says no and all of a sudden the tour is cancelled.

Scarlett convinces Sean to sing and causes more tension between Sean and his wife.  She makes amends by taking Sean home so Angela and Sean can talk.  Things go from bad to worse when Sean has a PTSD attack and threatens suicide.  Scarlett without any formal training gets called by the wife and she convinces Sean to live another day without ending his life.

Will, Gunner and Avery add comic relief.

Avery is caught in a compromising position when Juliette comes home from Camp Bolivia.

We are back in the saddle and ready to bring you the last 8 episodes of NashvilleCMT.  We both enjoyed the episode but were a little disappointed that we got no Juliette.

Brief synapses:

After collapsing on stage, We find out that Will did not have a heart attack but he has a heart infection caused by his steroid use.  He is supposed to take it easy for a while which means no exercising and no touring with the band.  We quickly find out he has no intention of following doctor orders.

Deacon and Jessie spend the entire episode trying to figure out the best way to handle Brad suing for full custody of Jake.

Maddie and Jonah celebrate his birthday with a jealous Twig in the background.  Jonah hides the fact he is still in conversation with his ex–Mia.  This wont end well.

Gunner is starting his clingy thing he always does with Alannah.  Instead of leveling with Gunner, she goes to check on a depressed Avery who is dealing with the fact his wife left him to join a cult.  Avery and Alannah get drunk and dance and flirt and both fall asleep. The paparazzi that are waiting for Avery, get a nice photo of her leaving his place and assume that Avery has moved on with his band mate.  Gunner sees this in social media and believes the same.  He confronts Avery and gets an accidental guitar to the nose for his troubles.  Boy, this wont end well either.

In other news, we barely see Scarlett and Zach is back (he heard about Will). Maddie decides not to move out and leave Daphne and Deacon.

Songs:

Sorry Now——–Alannah

Hard days (acoustic sans Will)——–Last Highway

The Giver——————Avery

My Turn—————-Will

After a long couple of weeks, we are back!! Fresh off our trip to Nashville, we discuss the last 2 episodes including the mid season finale. Allison & Joe both agree that episode 7 was a dud and we spend little time covering the “highlights”.  We do get into the mid-season finale heavily and also talk about the overall season so far and how this mid-season finale compares to other seasons.  We give our theories on how it all wraps up and what would make the ending satisfying.  This is definitely an extended episode you want to download or stream.

Songs

Smoking the Boys—-Allanah

Unravel——Daphne

Face the Sun—-Deacon

Dear Fear—–Daphne

Bring Me an Angel——Sean

Hard Days—-The Last Highways

Oh Gunnar! What have you done?  We talk about episode 6 entitled ‘Beneath Still Waters’.  We both liked the episode and thought the Jessie and Daphne scene stole the episode. @KaitlinDDay was our episode MVP.  

Cliff Notes—Alannah is a social media hit. Avery and Gunnar decide that she should play a bigger role but Will is not too keen on the idea and cares only about his “vitamins”.  Avery has accepted that Juliette left to Bolivia.  Daphne is tired of being dragged around by Deacon and Jessie and gives a little sass at the Art Walk.  Deacon notices and vows to nip this in the bud.  Meanwhile at the Equine therapy center, Scarlett seems really interested in Sean-the army vet suffering from PTSD. So much so that she stalks him on social media where she finds a performance posted that really knocks her socks off. When she leaves the Last Highways show (presumable jealous of Gunnar), she sees a drunk Sean and invites him to sleep it off at her place. He cant listen to his own music anymore since his musical friend was killed in Kanduhar. She gives Sean advice–Who does it help if you give up what you love?  (take your own advise, please).  Alannah makes a move on Gunnar and because he is an idiot, he goes for it.  The next day at rehearsal, the others figure it out and while Gunnar says its casual, the other boys know better.  Deacons dinner with Jessie, Jake and Daphne goes about as well as one would expect, however, Jessie solves this issue by talking to Daphne and telling her she can never replace her Mom.  Scarlett gets validation as Sean sings the next day.
