The Fosters (and Switched at Birth) are really the only shows I watch religiously anymore.
I am very passionate about these shows. Truly, if you read my messages on Monday nights it's all Fosters commentary.
So, I've decided to put a few episodes worth of them together.
For whatever reason, I can't find my commentary on the first episode of the season? Beyond a few
"ARE YOU WATCHING?" texts and
"That was emotionally exhausting why do I do this to myself?"
The first was the school shooting episode... I was terrified. That's enough.
So, I'll start with...
Season 4. Episode 2. "Safe":
What. Ma'am. Police mom. You did not clear the garage.
And Brandon. What part of "lock the door behind you" don't you understand.
Randomly AJ is back. Sure. Okay.
Fost and Found needs to not.
"Am I the only one in this house not having sex?"
Literally me. Actually me.
She just doesn't know how to clear a room. That's the issue.
"Why do you assume I'm not a virgin?" Obviously Jude watches the show.
Ominous metronome.
Brandon. Please. Mariana is thinking things.
OMG Jude baby. Randomly throwing Jack back in.
Callie. They wouldn't ever unadopt you. No. Shh.
Freaking of course they walk in.
Find the kid. He's literally in your attic.
This is all the more ominous because it's thundering and raining outside my house right now.
What is this foreshadowing to? I swear I'll boycott if they try to unadopt Callie.
Why. Doesn't she check. The attic. Follow your instincts.
My mother "What does it matter? They're grown up!"
Me (thinking): They're my age. You would not be okay with it.
Why did she put her gun away before going into the attic.
Gotta get those viewers. Have a teenager strip yep.
This is like a freaking horror film.
Jude is me. More concerned about phones than anything else.
Don't give up Callie. You still have the rest of the season to fight.
Guys why. That's illegal. Just make a fake account or something.
No. Lena dude. Oh okay it was just Stef.
Brandon chill. You're like 17. Stop.
That girl looks like Victoria Justice.
Oh look who's there. Good mama.
I always try to catch a hint of Maia's accent.
Cute good job girls. I mean. Illegal but.
AJ no stop. Y'all don't even belong together.
"Any idiot can vote." Great burn actually I laugh.
Why are they just yelling outside of this girl's new house.
"Callie was vulnerable" mmmm okay
My mom: "Good. He's moving out. Now he and Callie can be together."
This is too much.
Oh I forgot about her baby Frankie. That was sad.
Of course she went over there. She always gets herself involved.
Why do they not hear this? They're literally across the hall.
"You have me." Mariana he's actually gone crazy.
Matt arrives okay.
Follow him lady. Stef. Follow him. Oh my gosh. And what parent lets a boy into their girls' room anyway.
Callie. Get out. Stop. Bullets go through people's heads. Do. Not.
That girl better be listening to her INOK policies and talking that guy down.
Stef where is your gun. Okay. Okay.
Hug. Breathe. Okay.
That kid needs help help help.
I still don't like the new Jesus. But. Building the sibling relationship is good. For the twins and Callie and Jude. They need that for each other.
*long sigh*
That show...
Exhausts me. But I love it so much.
Season 4. Episode 3. "Trust":
She's dreaming
Aw her mother!
"Like Juvie" funny
Did she ever even tell Brandon why she told?
Mariana shouldn't even be in there.
Emma please. Jesus please.
Look a new boy for Callie.
Camryn. Funny.
Of course he wants to work non profit.
Of course it's a thing for people who got unfair trials and cases.
Oh look he has a motorcycle.
Of course he has an extra helmet.
This is like Daphne/Bay/Emmett all over again
"You'll see" um sir no you better tell me
Church. Cute. Now Jude will have that conflict.
Female pastor. How progressive.
Of course it's trust. Because no one in this show is trust worthy.
Harmonizing um I swoon
Are they in the school parking lot? That's illegal
Um. The pill doesn't.
Freaking. He's going to get some disease. Or her pregnant.
Brandon is home. Callie should be home but she's with this motorcycle dude. They can't be together.
Preachers kid. Yikes. Because a breakup. AH HE'S GAY OMG that's fantastic. Cool church.
I'm glad she's going back to photography.
Oh an accent break.
Add another guy to Callie's list.
Setting Jude and kid up. Cutie.
Um. I so don't do trust exercises.
That preacher kid is creepy.
Jude I'm pretty sure she's your ride but k
Brandon's at the house playing piano. Or is it. Girls United? Or her house? Aw! It's her house. Aw Callie.
Police mama is home with just her and Brandon. That's nice.
Even though she'll find out Callie isn't there but whatever.
Ugh. 'Boyfriend'. It better not be AJ.
She never even told him her real name.
Oh good. They don't want to undo her adoption.
Oh baby. Don't break. Please don't. She's having such a hard time.
Why is she deleting the picture. I'm mean. They're in recently deleted but still.
New project. Photos. Cool.
Assembly. Yes Mariana.
Nick why. No. She better not.
***
Foster's Hypothesis:
I bet Brandon will move back in and then Callie will try to move out to be with Sofia and her dad again and mess that all up.
I just realized in tonight's episode to that guy she referred to "her dad". But it wasn't the rich dude it was the jailed guy abuser. But then again she never even told the new boy her name. I wonder if he'll come back into the picture.
And with her new photo story project... Maybe we'll get more looks into her real life. Also we saw her mom in the dream.
Hmmmm...
Season 4. Episode 4. "Now for Then".
Why is AJ back
Cute little meeting my kind of humor but like ugh
Oh look Brandon's dad and the twins' mom. Where've they been?
I have a feeling this is setting up for something bad
Pictures yes
We should have senior projects... Not really that's a lot of pressure. But I do sass so I guess that counts.
Oh look. Another story to delve into. Callie's old foster homes.
I don't feel like her walking up to the door is safe?
AJ needs to shut up. He shouldn't even be here.
What is this ominous music?
These houses are all really nice.
Are they going to come attack her?
Oh the lady recognizes her.
New story line. Cool.
I love the theme song. One time I looked up the rest of it but this was the only good part of the song.
This lady seems fake.
"Allowed you to destroy our lives" MA'AM. you're the issue.
Yes snap Callie. Yes. Climb those stairs. Yes.
Music montage. Those are cool pictures actually.
Brandon you really shouldn't steal.
Sponsored by Target perhaps?
Sister moments. Yes. Good.
How metaphorical. Standing outside versus going in.
Oh look Callie and Mariana parallels. Keep that story line moving along.
Brandon and Courtney. They actually are kind of cute together. But it doesn't need to work out. He doesn't need a family or whatever. He needs Callie.
Why is Callie going to these places alone? That's not safe.
Oh this lady seems nice. Hopefully she's not evil.
Ask her Callie.
Good.
Of course they didn't tell you. It's the system.
Since when is dyslexia and 'impulse control' a special need that prevents people from adopting? Families get all sorts of special needs people.
Oh my goodness that Kyle kid. Why? Keep that story going, yes.
More lawyers. Of course.
This show does so many issues so well.
This dad guy does look more like new Jesus. But I still don't like him.
I already feel like this episode is one of those connector pieces.
Oh now she can find that kid she met last time when she said her name was Camryn. He was in the defense of kids that got unfair trials. Yep. Okay. Good connection.
This show could just focus on Callie. I'd be okay with that. We really don't need another Jesus storyline.
What is ADA they keep talking about? Because the ADA I know is Americans with Disabilities Act. Or the American Dental Association. Maybe it's something Defense Attorney...
Why is she feeding these high school kids alcohol?
Good Callie. Just water.
This girl is crazy. Forget what I said earlier. Get her out. Where is her kid?
This show has a lot of commercials. I don't watch anything live except this and that's really annoying.
Doesn't everyone know their license plate number?
Stef please. Don't be that much of a helicopter mom. You don't remember when your kids had a party at your house?
Why does she shove drinks down their throats my goodness.
Callie is the most mature one at this party.
Me too Lena. Just *eats*
That one other random kid. Okay.
Oh he wasn't even a guest. He's serving her. Hah.
Yeah well. Maybe you shouldn't be a mom.
Good for
Oh hey cute boy.
See I was right! She's asking help for that boy.
Mariana better not get hurt.
More ominous music.
He's basically guilting her into whatever. Ugh. Shut up Nick. No one needs you around.
Mariana. Please.
They're having a retro episode? That's fantastic.
Season 4. Episode 5. "Forty".
Random reappearance of Jude
Jesus. Why.
Oh Lena's mom. And all her judgements.
*rocks out to theme song*
Teaching piano is a good way to make money though
Robotics competition. Do they not have real homework to work on too?
Cool dude has an earring
Yes keep bagging on AJ. You don't need him Callie.
Is Kyle the guy from shake it up but with ugly short hair?
Is that on the new test or the old one Brandon? 1450 now is good. 1450 before, not so much.
BRANDON you are SO stupid
Have. You. Ever. Taken. A. Standardized. Test. Before. You. Can't. Just.
I LOVED wayside school stories! (The best elementary school substitute always read them to us)
Where did they get all these robot parts?
Jesus stop bothering them. Go be ugly somewhere else.
Me too Steph. Randomly throwing really complicated projects together at the last minute.
Can little girl friend of Jude not keep trying to set them up.
What is she going to see? A lawyer check. Cool. Great.
That guy looks terrifying.
Jude. You should be smart enough to know how to make a basic edit.
Of course Connor is back. More drama needed.
Robot competitions are actually really fun. I've done one before.
Those guys need to shut up.
Girls that was actually really cool.
Maam. Maam. You know that wasn't him. And Brandon. Idiot. Do you know his social? You need that on scantrons.
Good girls. Fight for yourself. Yes.
"Play the girl card?" Um Sir. This is why I'm glad I go to an all girls school. If that's a real issue, and not just tv.
Very cute 70s outfits.
Why do they still have a house phone?
I don't think that's how assets work... I could be wrong but...
How old is Steph? How old was she when she has Brandon? Like 22? Just wondering. And then his dad seems a lot lot older though...
Jude that shirt is pretty awesome actually but you just had that?
The mustache does not make it better, Jesus. It being your face. And obviously not your acting ability.
Finally Callie.
AJ. What sort of ugliness. Get out no one likes you.
Who is that lady? And why was she yelling to Brandon. Is she the old girlfriend? Maybe? Idk.
He's going to get so caught and that's breaking laws and Brandon. You're so stupid.
Yeah AJ. Yes. Get upset. Leave. Callie can be with cute boy.
Anna and Brandon's dad are sorta official. Okay. Weird. But k.
Why does that lady get herself involved in everything
What purpose is this woman serving. What's happening.
Jesus looks like a really misdressed Mario
Cute boy needs to shave his mustache.
Aaron. I never remember his name.
Mariana's giving ship names to her siblings. Mmmkay.
They sure know how to possibly ruin a party.
Why can this small teen boy flirt better than me
Yes. IRS. Bringing that up at a birthday. Cool dude. Good work.
I love all those tribute videos. In real life and on shows.
Jesus. What's your issue?
The cops are here for why
Oh my god strippers um this is ABC Family. Well. Freeform. But STiLL
Stephanie Marie. Kinda plain. But a very nice dance.
Cute Mariana. Set them up. They can have a relationship or something. That's fine.
Yes keep getting AJ mad. Yes. Get rid of him. No don't dance.
What other secrets do they have to be revealed next week?
I guess we have to wait to find out.

There's my commentary so far this season. It's the first 5 out of 10 episodes of 4a. I'll keep doing them, I think. Maybe you enjoyed it?
It doesn't make much sense unless you're watching along with it. I really do send these as live messages to friends and thought it would be fun to have them saved all in one place.
Don't hate my opinions on characters or anything. It's just how it is.
