Just watched, it's a waste of time.
She's fine not keeping in touch with the donor and ready to embrace the future as it comes.
Just watched this movie and I liked it. Agreed with continents2's review. Definitely had strong women characters and some character growth.
Hey there Isthisyourhomework! Nice to meet another fan! Post anything you want to discuss about the show and I'll contribute as much as I can. Such a marked difference from Season 7 onwards...it was like a completely different show! And no explanation about what happened to much loved cast members from previous seasons!
RIP John. Thanks for Martin Crane. We'll miss you.
Enjoyed his performances in movies and on tv, but I know what you're saying OP.

Rose - Miles

Sophia - Cesar Romero's character
Hi Galactus, thanks for your input. So which were your favourite episodes and seasons and why? Did you have any favourite characters?
So happy to meet you GreenGoblins0ck8!
I was just starting out with watching Matlock when I checked the show on tvtropes.org which I do for shows I enjoy. I read 'The Nightmare' was based on a western theme and I kinda rolled my eyes. But when I actually watched the episode I was pleasantly surprised. It's now one of my favourite episodes!
I love that it has all my fave characters in it - Matlock, Julie, Conrad, Michelle and Bob. I loved how Bob in real life is an upstanding and dutiful cop, and in the dream is a ne'er do well drunk! I remember those lines you quoted, I can never forget the incredulous look Conrad gives Ben in return, lol. I mean the Conrad in the nightmare wouldn't know what the hell Ben was talking about! That episode was hilarious.
I enjoyed Season 6 a lot. I think they experimented a lot - plot themes ran to extremes. The serial killer episode? Was that inspired by Jeffrey Dahmer + Charles Manson? 'The Dame' had a flashback which was a bit different. I was a bit disappointed by 'The Suspect' as in suddenly Matlock has feelings for a random woman who's his client when that's definitely against his ethics. And moreover did Matlock and his associates completely forget about Julie? Someone he's clearly had feelings for since they first met in Season 1. And super cringey to watch Ben kiss Brynn Thayer who plays his daughter by the end of the season and for a while after.
I loved 'The Foursome' also - was something different The chemistry was good between Ben and his client and I just liked the story and how some people do anything to win!
My favourite has to be 'The Outcast' in a close tie with 'The Nightmare' though. I liked seeing an introspective and insecure Matlock - a bit different from the self assurance and brashness the character usually demonstrates. I love how he goes on an internal as well as an external journey - coming out of it a more enlightened person, more aware of his flaws but also of his strengths.
I think it's the latter. It's funny 'cos I was just watching episode 8 from S6 'The Haunted part 1' and he was deliberately clearing his throat while sitting in the audience area of the court room and clearing his throat on purpose so Cliff who was handling the case by his lonesome, knew when to object to the defence lawyer's line of questioning or the answers of the defence witnesses. AG clearing his throat on purpose was a bit ott lol and pleasant to hear hahha compared to his 'normal throat clearing'.
