1988 Episode Discussion

[Ryan]

There's a scene during the Dodge storyline where he hands it in spell-checked, albeit perfect American instead of Australian English and Fisher says.

FISHER

You can’t seriously expect to go through life with a computer at your side every day.

Shows how certain things have changed twenty years on.

Fantastic episode today (Thursday) -a very emotional episode yet full of humor! The quality of both writing and acting, faultless.

[GameTime]

Yep, brilliant episode, probably the best I've seen so far.

The last 2 minutes when Bobby was talking to Alan was first rate.

[alexx]

^And Fisher packing up his office then he and Alan's meeting in the school corridor! Brilliant.

Another strong week this week.

Oh Ailsa! You put Alf in his place!

[Skylover]

I thought Alan and Donald's conersation in the corridor of the school was ver well-scripted and acted. Really enjoying these episodes, and I especially love Bobby as a character in particular.

[codyw1]

As I am beginning to remember happened the first time around, Bobby essentially took over Lynn's place as my favourite character at around this point.

[Old H&A Fan]

Oh Ailsa! You put Alf in his place!

Sorry, but if you ask me, Alsa is being a bitch. But Alf made a mistake marrying someone so opposed to his views. Alsa's disloyalty is SHOCKING (well maybe Alf is disloyal to Alsa as well, but Alf is being portrayed as being in the wrong).

[Jamey-Maria]

Yes of course. Ailsa should pretend she doesn't have an opinion and shut the hell up. She should ignore her (correct) gut instinct about the Macklins trying to take them for a ride where they could both quite possibly be left in a shocking financial state. What on earth is she doing putting so much energey into trying to make her husband see that her opinion is valid anyway. She's a FEMALE. Her time would be much better spent cleaning the house or getting in the to kitchen make food for her husband's guests.
