@@BJMallory Becky fell in love with Mark. And nobody can talk anyone out of falling out of love. And it has nothing to do with how a person was raised. It's extremely frustrating to see someone you love making bad choices. But all you can do is nothing. If you constantly criticize their choices you will lose them and possibly never see them. It's the hardest thing you will ever do but you have no choice.

I would like to have Dan as a neighbor but imagine what could happen in the future where I have a wife and kids and I can picture my children saying Uncle Dan it's great to see you again. But I also would like for everybody to understand that even if there is somebody like Dan who can be an uncle to my kids I would be happy with that I even would like to choose my best friend as the children's Godfather because he's my best friend the man has been like a brother to me and I also like his family they're really good people they believe in God they also love pop culture I think that would make my best friend a wonderful Godfather towards my kids. My reason behind that is because my father's friends are relatives of mine because they grew up together and the worst thing my father ever did was throw out his best friend because of his lifestyle and not throw them out in a sense of throwing them out of the house by in a sense of they had a fight and they alienated themselves from each other and I don't think my father understands how that makes me feel but in my professional opinion if I ever do have a place in my own I definitely want my godfather to come down to the Carolinas and it would be very nice to see him again because he is always welcome to my mother's family and maybe somewhere down the road my father can realize that the man he threw away the man who's been like an additional brother to him eventually he will realize that he needs to put everything back together. Because the best thing in life is having friends and if they are really good friends and you trust them with all your heart then they are more than your friends they are your brothers or your sisters maybe not related to you but because you like being around them and because they are very trustworthy people that you would bring into your family

This scene is so freaking powerful not only because of the great acting but because it reframes much of the later seasons of Roseanne. Dan treated Mark like a son. Dan got Mark a job with the city when he became supervisor. Dan loved Mark, but it’s so heartbreaking because underneath it all was still this resentment for him. This anger for screwing over Becky’s future. We laughed when we saw Becky’s living in a mobile home. And we never knew what Dan and, likely Roseanne as well, were keeping bottle up. They both loved Mark and hated him. This is going down as one of the best moments of the series and the entire franchise.
@Lefeurouge Жыл бұрын
Love your comment, Nerd Talk! I notice that they also changed the fact that Mark didn't want to go to trade school. He knew that schooling of any kind just wasn't his calling. Becky insisted that Mark go to trade school over both the objections of Rosanne AND Mark. I remember that episode and Rosanne really laid into Mark until it came up that he didn't wanna go and Becky was making him. And one thing that kinda pisses me off about this scene is how it makes it out like Mark kinda tricked her. Mark didn't screw over her future--not in THAT sense. I don't think I'll ever forget that episode when Becky eloped with Mark and what a brat she was. I had to rewatch it because this reframing in this scene of their relationship is so different from how Mark acted in the series and I didn't really think it was fair to him, because he LOVED Becky and I never got the sense that he was ever intentionally holding her back.

I think Dan's anger in this scene partially comes from his own guilt because what he did to Roseanne was almost identical to what Mark did to Becky. In the original series, Roseanne discussed her dreams of being a writer and at one point considered the possibility of what if she didn't marry Dan. It's the same pattern repeating through generations and he sees it. The original reason Dan warmed up to Mark was because he reminded him of himself. When Mark and Becky eloped, the similarities started becoming too much and that's when he started hating him. Also, let's not forget that part of the reason Becky chose to elope was that she felt that she was a burden on the family after Dan's bike shop went under. A debacle that wouldn't have happened if Dan wasn't so blinded by his zeal to try and recapture his youth. Dan and Roseanne are just as much to blame for how Becky's life turned out as she and Mark are.

She talked me into a lot of financial decisions that looking back I NEVER should have done, but I trusted her fully. By early 2021, she was spending more and more time away from home, again more of the "I trust her, its okay" crap that I fooled myself into. Long story short, she showed up to the house right after our 2 year wedding anniversary with divorce papers and moving boxes, practically kicked me out, changed the locks, and the new guy was moved in a week or so after I was gone.

I teared up as well when he said it to Becky too. Becky finally realized that after all this time, she let Mark ruin her life. And not only blaming him, but herself. She let a man take advantage of her and not letting her do the things she wanted to do. She wanted to be a doctor and even applied for college but Mark wouldn’t let her. All he wanted was to have a family with her. He clearly never had plans for his life. And because of it, he lost his life. Which truly lead Becky to drinking because she never wanted to lose him, but ended up losing him anyway. Mark basically made Becky give up on herself and after 25 years, she finally realized how much Mark ruined her life. Dan was proud of her to finally admit to herself what she did in her life. All because of Mark.

The way Dan let's first lines about Mark roll out effortlessly, but as soon as he was done you can clearly see the shame he felt for it. Incredible acting by John Goodman. That said, the subsequent response by Becky's actress, Lecy Goranson, was phenomenal. Her portrayal of Becky as broken and self-loathing, having blamed herself for where she ended up in life, was very moving and insanely well-done.

The original Aunt Viv always reminded me of Mrs. Huxtable too because they were both assertive, no-nonsense disciplinarians when they had to be but also nurtured and were there for the kids when they needed it.

That's really not a fair way to view yourself. Our lives are not races to finish line. If it was everyone would get the same length of track. But we don't. Some have a long track that can last a century. For others the track sadly end just after the starting line. If anything life is more like a range of mountains to climb. Pick the summit you want to reach and start the climb. Sure you can fall and have to start again but if you want whats at the top, you'll try again and again. If you stay too long looking at the mountain, talking about the mountain but not daring to climb it can feel that you've fallen behind because you see other climbing to the same summit. I spent 20 years looking and talking about the top of the mountain i want to reach because I kept falling... when I tried. Fell several times in fact. I could quit, accept that what I want is beyond my abilities or that I'm too far behind others. But if i do that...I know a part of me will end right then and there and I don't know if i could live with that. I'm currently in mid-climb ONCE AGAIN...reaching for the top. But for me this time...it's less about being behind or catching up and more about just getting there. I don't know if any of this makes sense but, please do not believe that what you're striving for is out of your reach.

I absolutely broke down when I first saw this scene, and I break down every time I watch it again. I can relate to Becky so much. No, not because of alcohol or the death of a partner, but because of college. Ever since I was a kid, I had this dream of going to college and becoming a doctor, getting my Ph.D. All throughout grammar and high school, I made straight As, or close to it. Once I got to college, the material was a lot harder and I found it difficult to ask for help, because I didn't want my peers or the teachers to think I was stupid. I was afraid to ask for help. Not to mention, I was born with a disability (I use a wheelchair) and this was the first time in my life I was living independently. Again, I didn't know how to ask for help with the things I needed help with and I didn't ask for the accommodations I needed to be academically successful. My entire freshman year, I did not do well. I was on the verge of failing. Before I actually did fail, I dropped out. Honestly, I have regretted that decision ever since. After that, I started working with people with disabilities as an advocate for living independently. Fourteen years after I dropped out of college, it finally got to me enough to where I went back to the same college to finish what I started long ago. I am happy to say that in a week, I will be graduating with my degree and then I'll be continuing onto graduate school in the fall. Sometimes I wonder though: where would I be now if I didn't drop out; if I tried harder and asked for help? That's why it really hits home for me when Becky says "I'm so far behind. I'll never catch up." I'm fourteen years behind. My dream was to have my Ph.D. by now. This scene is just so deep for me. For those of you who are interested in more of my college story, I made a video of it called "Pathway to College Success": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMWmnr15qL-7cXU.html.

Maybe THAT was what you were supposed to do. Drop out, be an advocate, and then go back when you felt more comfortable. Everything happens for a reason... I'm glad you proved to yourself you could do it! You needed that! But please hon, no more what ifs, okay? You did it eventually, that's all that matters...

"And now I'm so far behind, I'll never catch up." This is how I feel in life. I feel like I've wasted so many years without being productive and working towards a good future for myself that I feel it's too late, the gap between me and my peers in terms of where they ended up and what they accomplished, started families, have been working for years, I'll never be able to catch up, the gap is just too big. It's a very horrible thing to feel, the dread and hopelessness of you screwing up the most important years of your life.

i love how they built up to this moment and the root of Becky’s problem. i think two episodes prior she had dinner with that old classmate who was doing amazing things who remembered high school Becky, who was a high achiever. rather than admit the truth, she concocted a whole amazing life for herself. Lecy acted that moment to perfection because you could see the pain on her face at a life she could’ve had...was on track to have. and what did she do? she didnt want to feel that hurt and anger so she gave in to drinking a glass of wine with her classmate. this scene between Dan and Becky was a long time coming since the original Roseanne series. when i watched it, i needed to do a whole woo-sah. Dan and Becky have always had a different relationship and i like that this begins a true healing process for the both of them. i wanna see Becky have some triumphs and Dan right there cheering her along.

I can totally relate to what she said getting so far behind and not catching up. We waist our life on the things that once brought us happiness until it turned into addiction. Chasing that brief moment , trying to relive those feelings and stay there over and over again and again. Until one day we wise up and walk away. By that time it's been 15 or 20 years. Our bodies are tired and can no longer catch up to the demands of reaching our goals because that strong drive, and ambition that energy from our youth to keep us moving forward had already left our bodies a long time ago. . her words hit hard. Now im middle aged, but with God's help I will reach my goals.

This scene. So many levels. Heartbroken. Lived it. But Becky is right. She made her own choices. But now her man is gone. Not that he helped 2 make her life better, but it's not his fault. She loved him. He loved her. Even if he wasn't the most responsible.❤

Please tell me that Lecy Goranson was nominated for an Emmy & used this scene as her Emmy reel? She should have gotten SOME kind of acknowlegement for this scene. The agony, the anger, the grief, the self-loathing & remorse, & the feelings of failure & loss expressed in her face & her voice as she peels back the layers of the onion & progressively admits increasingly painful truths out loud is incredible. I really didn't realize how talented Lecy was as an actress until this scene! It was so real.

Has anyone else been waiting for Becky to admit all this out loud for years? I dont think anyone ever liked the idea of her and mark. As a parent I know it must be heartbreaking to see you child in a toxic relationship and there is nothing you can say or do about it.

Kind of watching this, but hearing Dan talk about Mark the way he did was fair. Becky’s his little girl but when she admitted her mistakes that’s when I felt horrible for her, especially when she said she wasted so much time and will never catch up 🥺🥺

@DonnaBrooks Жыл бұрын
@@molasorrosalom4846 No, but Mark kept her in poverty so that she was working as a waitress in a place that served alcohol & she was falling apart from grief over losing him & remorse over giving up so much to be with him. I wonder if you would have been so hard on Mark if Becky had died and he had had a one-night stand? I suspect you'd give him a break b/c he's grieving the loss of his wife & is looking for comfort & a diversion from his feelings of regret & anger at her & himself.

Well I’m mad @ mark 4 not having Becky’s back during both their relationship & marriage. Because let’s be honest; mark broke the code. Because in relationships; ur supposed 2 have each other’s backs. That’s the bottom line. & no wonder mark had 2 die. Because I agree with 1 of Becky’s rehab roommates. That’s part of God’s plan.
