I saw pics the NW posted on their FB page of Norm and his bride, handsome couple.  I remarked to Mr Cotter as well about seeing more of Norm in one episode than we had in 10 years (plus the original special and the miniseries)

Scotty was a bit of a douche his first season or two on the DB, but he's progressed and kept it pretty low key. Andy is a dick, his marriage failed and I am sure his relationship with his kids sucks balls, so why not make Scotty have a shitty personal life too? Of course he'll back Neil's kid right now, because he's not leaving for the summer to spend time with his kid. Scotty just got major undouching points for sticking to his guns for wanting to be a father to his child, not just some guy who sends money and pops in on occasion.

Johnathan only started going out for Opies again about the time of the TB becoming the DB and them hamming it up for the cameras. Their first season, Johnathan had said that he captains kings and Andy is deck boss, during Opies Andy runs the boat and Johnathan goes home because he can't do the physical activities anymore. And poor Neil is like the redheaded stepchild. But glad to see Johnathan caring less about the cameras and staying home for opies like he should. The whole DB has really come a long way from being the DB, but they still will always be the DB now :p

Josh does appear to have had some personal growth. He seems to have learned a lot in retrospect about his bullshit season with Derrick Ray (because I happen to believe Mr Ray's account of Josh only coming aboard and fishing the 2 weeks and cutting the season when Disco was done......)

The Eliot/Edgar thing reeked of being a producer set up.

Jr? I haven't missed him. I wonder if he still has Kado (Kevin Davis, the greenhorn who fell into the water on the miniseries only to slip and twist an ankle as a deckhand on season 1).

Phil in the hospital. Dying. My eyes may have leaked. Gah, I miss that man.
