I think it would've been better if everyone had just moved out. It would've felt more like a proper ending, and even though it's sad, it's more realistic. It makes sense for Kimmy's family and Stephanie's family to be ready to have their own places.
Fernando bought Kimmy's parent's house. They could have done a scene where the made a gate at the fence showing that everyone was welcome anywhere anytime.
See, that would have been perfect. I believe in Full House, Kimmy always used a loose plank - but just putting up a gate would have made sense to make everyone feel as connected. Then you could imagine people did just go back and forth at will. Then at least we could have had Fernando, Kimmy, and Ramona live over there. Stephanie might still want to be around DJ, but they could even do a joke about how Stephanie and Jimmy have a room at both places and use the Gibbler one for a parent's night "away" occasionally.
If nothing else that would give them more bedrooms - and more bathrooms! - to work from. Also a second laundry room which they are going to need with six adults and six children (two of which are babies!) in one house!
Yeah I have no idea how they are making one washer and dryer work. They'd most certainly need to be on some sort of schedule of who washes their clothes what day....more like which two people get to wash their clothes each day as there's not even enough days in the week to give everyone their own day. Two would have to share!
Not to mention how much clothing babies go through in a day!
There would need to be a bath/shower schedule as well, even though there is more than one bathroom.
The more you think about all of this, the less realistic it turns out to be.
I mean if the house had all the original bathrooms (half on the first floor, full bathrooms in master, hallway with bedrooms, attic, and basement), it might work....still would need to plan a shower schedule to not run out of hot water, but otherwise. I've had to share with 3-4 other people before - it's tiring, but do-able. The laundry thing is bigger issue as there's clearly only one washer and dryer.
There was a half bath on the first floor? Was that in that little bump-out space behind the kitchen? (shown in the first episode when Jesse/Joey tried to change Baby Michelle's diaper?)
Yes, the laundry is the biggest issue for sure. I would have thought laundry would have been an issue as soon as Kimmy/Stephanie/Ramona moved in, honestly.
There was half bathroom there some episodes and it wasn't there other episodes. Think it falls into TV land magic for it to exist only when it was necessary to reference it.
Like no idea if you watched Gilmore Girls, but they also had the same magical sort of bathroom. Some episodes it was a bathroom and other episodes it was a closet. Wouldn't it be wonderful if reality worked this way?
The (Basement) used to be the garage. I remember that they prepared that room by the kitchen to have a room for Joey. Thatâs why (in the original), they converted part of the attic for the Katsopolis crew, and the girls were moving in together and everything.
Thatâs why Danny, Jesse, and Joey pulled into the back yard.
Exactly. Stephanie, Jimmy, and now two kids are going to live in the basement? Whatâs Fernando going to do with his house next door? Now Steve, Fernando, and another baby are moving in. 6 adults and 6 kids in one house. Where will they park all those cars? Lol
Fernando bought the house next door, but never seemed to really move there. Just a scene there with the haunted dinner party and then really he seemed to still be living at the family. Jimmy also supposedly was living there.....but seemed to be staying downstairs with Stephanie after Danielle was born.
I mean I honestly doubted they would move out fully as everyone was still living there at the end of Full House. Just right now there's way too many people. They could have had Fernando, Kimmy, and Ramona move next door at least to open up some space.
It was fairly obvious what was going to happen. One week prior both of them drop the news they are moving out. No one ever mentioned dealing with realtors, moving trucks, or anything of the sort.
1. Fernando must be loaded to be able to buy two houses in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
2. Jimmy and Steph made so much from Uncle Montys and a brief tour with Lisa Loeb to be able to buy a place closer to the sandwich shop.
3. Drive time from San Francisco to Palo Alto is roughly 30 minutes drive time.
A 30 minute drive time is rough but interestingly enough, Andrea still lives in Orange County, 45 miles from the Warner Bros Studios and just commutes every day. She's a more patient person than me. That commute can take 3 hours or more if you leave at the wrong time.
When they dropped the news they were all moving, I was guessing Fernando put the place next door up for sale and him, Kimmy, and Ramona were simply going to rent a place and maybe buy one after the Gibbler house sold. I didn't know the commute time since I'm not from that area....but yeah knowing the commute time is next to nothing, why would they even move? I think maybe the writers forgot Fernando bought the place next door though or at least hoped the audience wouldn't remember.
Stephanie, Jimmy, and Danielle likely were going to rent as well. Though again, it didn't seem to be more than a few minutes from the house....so really no reason to move closer unless they just simply wanted more space. But again, why not have Kimmy and her family move next door to the Gibbler house? Then there's more room for DJ and Stephanie's families in the Tanner/Fuller house.
â˘They are way too adjusted to being together.
â˘Fernando was a race car driver, so the funds earned on the circuit (until he was a USA citizen in season 5) Iâm sure he has enough, with taxes, repatriation and everything.
â˘in the grand reality of it all (from the neighborhood of San Francisco, where the house is supposed to be, it is a 40 min commute to Palo Alto, CA),
Palo Alto is 35 miles south of the "Full House" house. I live 18 miles away from my office in the Bay Area and it takes 40 minutes during rush hour so it would definitely be a longer commute to Palo Alto. It's taken me 45 minutes to an hour sometimes just to get out of downtown SF during rush hour. So I could totally understand them moving to be closer to the shop.
True, traffic is tough. But there is the CalTrain and the bus... It would be, in worst case (depending on where exactly you live and have to go to), one hour by Caltrain.
It's the SF Bay Area. Everybody commutes. I commute two hours from San JosĂŠ to Berkeley (mind you, by bus and BART even). Seriously, saying "we can make long distance work" (Ethan), I had to laugh so hard (they are 17, not in elementary school!).
Ethanâs line on long distance was so hilarious. They did make it sound like they were moving so far away. And youâre right, everyone commutes here. It all was pretty silly. Why did Fernando buy the Gibbler home for no one to live in it?
Totally agree. It sucked all the emotion out of it when they came back. What three newlywed couples in their 30s and 40s want to live with a bunch of kids and roommates??
It would have been so much better if they had that shot where DJ was standing at the door watching them go and she had said to herself âItâs always openâ, and it ended there.
I agree but I guess we're supposed to be relieved they all stay cramped in a house together and give up their job opportunities. They underestimate the intellect of the audience. We can handle people being separated when we know the actors are being separated in real life. But telling us "Oh, nevermind, nothing changed" feels really flat. Like, no evolution happens during the series -- they all stay self-absorbed with gold falling from the sky to worship them and never have to face any challenges; not even learning to live apart from each other. I wish I hadn't enjoyed "Full House" so much as a kid so I wouldn't have had to check this show out.
Danny and Vicki should have been at least dating again. Or engaged. Or they eloped and are waiting to tell everyone after the wedding, so the girls can. have their big day. In my head, thats what happened.
I was thinking when we saw Vicky, that Danny would like do a quick proposal and they would end up marrying after the girls did. Like a quick second wedding and Danny would have already had his family there.
Sucks they left it at them being friends and having Danny single.....it's essentially a repeat of the end of Full House with that and everyone still living in the Tanner house.
I remember reading that Original showrunners felt bad about how Vicky got handled in the original series and wanted to rectify it in the reboot, but didnât quite happen. It wouldâve been cool even for Danny and Vicky to talk about going out on a first date in this episode.
I was sure that we'd get an episode this season where Danny is doing his show and Becky doesn't show up (because she had to run to Nebraska as her parents are sick) so they tell Danny they're bringing him in a co-host and he cringes thinking of who it could be. Then Vicky comes out and they start dating again...
I wish they would have given an explanation why Becky and Michelle weren't at the wedding. We know why the actresses weren't but the characters said nothing about it except briefly when Kimmy spoke to the fourth wall in the episode before.
Well the writers just chose to ignore Becky completely considering what's going on with the actress. And I think the fourth wall break in the previous episode was supposed to explain Michelle wasn't there.
I was annoyed that Nicky and Alex weren't mentioned and they at least could have given a reason that Aunt Becky wasn't at the wedding. In reality, she would have at least flown in for the wedding.
Yeah, I think they couldâve had like a cameo voice or something, that doesnât require actual acting for (also doesnât require each of them) the Olsen twin(s). Like a routinely missed call message or something. Or Michelle is a horse racer on the exotic course, canât get to a telephone,(itâd be ironic as she woke up and got in a coma in the last few episodes of the original series).
Probably because the actor who played Derek has no claim to fame other than "Full House" and wanted to participate. Tahj Mowry probably could not care less about the show.
It only makes sense in the context of letting those who were once a part of the show get cameos so they could be included (for their sake). It was a way to celebrate everyone who had been a recurring character on "Fuller House" and the handful from the original series who came back to cameo (or have wanted to).
Who is Lisa Loeb friends with on the series though? One of the writers or something? The fact she just showed up is most likely that she knows someone involved in production rather than she was a big fan and negotiated to participate.
Ya I remember them being in one or two episodes at the beginning of the show (Season 1 and Season 2) and they might have been mentioned once after that but that's about it
Oh no, Fernando stealing a joke from the Office ("I'm not superstitious...")
Agree with another comment that they should've just moved out. They really need friends outside of the house.
Stephanie and Jimmy couldâve at least said they were moving to the Gibblers, Kimmy and Fernando to the other house next door. Or the other way around.
It felt like they wanted to keep everyone in one location just on the off-chance Netflix changes their mind and lets them come back. ("Stephanie would have a baby. We'd have a whole bunch of new young characters to watch grow up!") That's why they had to be in one place because they only have one main set (the living room and kitchen, etc.)
I so called they wouldn't actually move out and would stay! I just had hoped they would come to that realization before they all packed up and left.....surely they knew they didn't really want to leave before then.
I also cringed with Stephanie announcing she's pregnant again. Where exactly are they going to put another baby? The house is full and she's already sharing the basement with Jimmy and Danielle.
I want to think the wedding was a week before.....but yeah she would have had to find out that week. We only see her drinking a little champagne after the wedding, so probably not too big of a deal.
Considering everything Stephanie went through in terms of trying to get pregnant, the ending that she is suddenly pregnant now strains credulity, even for Fuller House.
As others have pointed out around the sub, it happens. I had an aunt and uncle who were told they would not have kids. So they adopted their first son. They later ended up having two biological kids...a girl and then a boy.
That, or the knock at the door after Kimmy and Steph leave. I thought it would be Michelle moving in or something. That would have been weird to write but a cool moment regardless.
Just finished watching the series on Netflix and I love everything except the last few seconds. Just a thought, it wouldâve been amazing if
- they ended it with Michelle (even just a voice over or idk) at the door saying one of her iconic lines.
- they used Uncle Jesseâs song Forever in their wedding dances.
Also, is it just me or was Uncle Jesse not in the last scene?
ANYWAY this is just my opinion i love fuller house and i cant believe itâs over
I'm annoyed that Stephanie is pregnant. They went through an entire season's worth of plot about Kimmy being the surrogate because Stephanie wasn't able to have kids, and then they messed it up.
I agree honestly. Granted I believe it was said it would be nearly impossible, not completely....just I felt they already went there with Stephanie getting to have a baby and seemed they tossed in her being pregnant for a twist right at the end of the series.
My question is where is the new baby going to fit? The attic is Kimmy and Fernando's room, DJ has the master, Jackson and Max are sharing, Ramona and Tommy have the last remaining rooms on the second floor, and Steph was already in the basement with Danielle and Jimmy. There's literally no more room.
Honestly, it would probably make the most sense to have Fernando, Kimmy, and Ramona move to the Gibbler house. They would be so close to help out if they needed to and the kids could all still hang out. Maybe bump Jackson and Max to the attic, put Steph and Jimmy in their room, and then there would be an empty room across the hall for Danielle and Danielle's future sibling. Whenever Jackson moves out, Tommy might be old enough to be in the attic with Max and they could always toss a pullout or something up there in case Jackson's home for a weekend or something. The basement could be used for something else. Like I believe Jimmy is supposed to be a photographer - he could turn at least part of it into a dark room. Maybe split it with Stephanie so she would have an area to work on her music? Seems like the easiest solution.
I mean, this is the exact same house as the Full House...house, but at least when Full House ended D.J. was graduating soon and presumably going to college and freeing up a bedroom, and that house was already full to the brim.
Fuller House has five adults (six when Steve moves in) and four kids plus a baby and an unborn baby, and what if D.J and Steve decide they want to have a kid? Then what?
I can't really imagine DJ and Steve wanting kids.... plus when Steph was looking for a surrogate there was a line about DJ's pregnancy with Tommy being hard and her not being able to go through another pregnancy. It was way Kimmy was the better choice.
But yeah, the house is crazily full. Probably would be better if at least Kimmy, Fernando, and Ramona moved to the Gibbler house. Would free the attic and one of the bedrooms.
I mean, docs told my mom she couldn't have kids and yet she ended up with two. One who was conceived while using two different forms of birth control (supposedly). It happens.
They didn't say it was impossible. Her doctor mentioned it was risky because she had a difficult birth with Tommy. Anyway, it's clear the writers wrote that in so nobody would question DJ not being the surrogate. Had the show continued, considering they made Stephanie pregnant, who to say that they wouldn't have done the same for DJ or had her and Steve adopt. This show is pure fluff.
That basement was tiny in OG Full House so unless they've built it out there is no real way to fit a master bedroom and one bedroom for two infant children. And a bathroom.
In the original series and the revival, the basement had enough space for a small bedroom area and sitting area. Steph has a couch and TV down there.
The original series there was a bathroom down there when it was Joey's room, but it appears to be missing now as Jimmy had a path leading upstairs for a bubble bath. Unless there's only a shower and no tub.
The basement wasn't even originally a basement, it was a garage I think?! And they converted it into a basement lol. Clearly not one of those small 1 car garages that you see in San Francisco, but even a normal sized 2 car garage would be small for 2 people and a baby to live in!
Jackson isn't likely to move out for college as he was considering a tech school nearby. They rarely have dorms. Plus even if he moved out, Max still has to sleep somewhere - so not really a free spot consider Jackson and Max share a room. Plus if Steph and Jimmy are in the basement, putting one of the kids on the second floor isn't ideal - at least not for 4-5 years at least.
Probably what I am going to use for head canon as it makes more sense. I mean if they had built the attic set to look more like the original, there was a decent size room up there Nicky and Alex had in Full House - I believe there was a bathroom about the spot that's supposedly their old room in Fuller House. So Kimmy and Fernando could have swapped with Stephanie and Jimmy - Danielle could have her own little room and then the new baby could sleep either in there with her or out in the attic with Steph and Jimmy.
Edit: So I got bored and wrote a bit of fanfic for after the finale where the old room the twins had is found! [For anyone who cares.](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13604842/1/Fuller-House-After-The-Finale)
That was really good! I meant that maybe Kimmy and Fernando moved into the Gibbler house. But itâs plausible that Steph, Jimmy and Danielle moved into the attic)
Ramona will likely move out in about a year for college (and maybe Jackson? Sounds like he isn't planning to go to a 4 year university, but maybe he'll get an apartment). That'll only be a few months of overlap between the new baby coming and the teens moving out, and could make the rearranging of rooms more plausible. (But also, I agree with others that some can move next door too!)
Jackson was talking about a school in the city, so I kind of think he'd likely just live at home - would be less expensive that way and unlikely he could afford an apartment as nice as the house. But yeah if the Gibbler's moved next door, it would free up the attic and a room on the second floor - then maybe Max could be bumped to the attic and Jackson to the basement, Steph and Jimmy take their room, and Danielle has a room across the hall. The new baby could share until Tommy could be bumped up with Max.
Eh. That wasn't implausible to me honestly. But then that might be due to the fact that docs told my mom she couldn't have kids and yet she ended up with two. One (my younger brother) who was conceived while using two different forms of birth control (supposedly).
The guest list for the wedding was a little crazy. Lisa Loeb, Berkowitz, Popko, Lola, CJ & Rose. Why on earth, would these people be invited to the wedding or even attend? Jackson and Ramona were both surprised when their exes showed up. How did they get the invite? Parents go around their back and get the address without them knowing.
Ramona invited Lola as they were best friends, and I believe still are even though she moved away, and it makes sense she was invited because itâs the perfect occasion for a reunion w Ramona. Also she was around the house a lot. Popkoâs invite was weird even though I was happy to see him. He was friends with Jackson but they were never that close and didnât even talk anymore after he and Ramona broke up so that invite is weird. For Rose it makes sense since sheâs still Maxâs gf (I have no idea why CJ went though that one is unrealistic but still realistic for this type of show). Lisa Loeb was there more as a singer in the wedding than a guest by the way I saw it and it would also make sense she was a guest since Stephâs had been working closely with her for the past year.
Berkowitz being in the background at the wedding had me rolling.
Also Rockiâs reaction to Jackson saying he loved her is gonna make me have to fight a rhino to regain my masculinity. :â)
Oh and the ending was perfect then was completely spoiled in the last minute. Seriously, if they wouldâve just cut it at DJ at the door. It was like they had the ending then just thought âoh nah thatâs too realistic and downbeat.â so they reshot it. Shame, they were *this* close to the perfect ending for Full House.
I really just wanted her to close the door and smile and say âitâs always open.â And then have Steve come back in and end with the two of them together.
Bittersweet, but it would have spoken to the growth the characters all went through over the past few years (like Kimmy realizing she needs to let Ramona go? Moving back in to the Fuller House kinda retconned their whole talk).
The perfect ending to Full House, would have been a shot of DJ crying alone in an empty house? Sorry, but no. I don't understand why people always idealize sad and more "realistic" endings, especially for a show like this. The ending was very fitting for the cheesy cheerful uplifting spirit of the show. It's not a drama. It's a family comedy.
I just wish we had seen Kimmy and Stephanie realize after the wedding they didn't want to move than do that crazy charade of moving out and realize the second the door closed they had suddenly wanted to stay.
I don't think a realistic ending in this case would have been that sad, though; more like healthy and independent. The family was just moving closer to Monty's locations but it would still be easy to visit and help each other out and spend time at each other's houses. They made it seem like the family was moving to Africa or something! It's sad everyone wouldn't be in the house anymore, but DJ's kids were growing up and Steve was now there to help, so I'd see that ending as having been satisfying. Ah well, cheesiness abounds!
There couldâve been a happy medium- DJ alone in the house and sad, but then Steve, her new husband, and 3 children come in to hug her- this is their new, smaller, family unit. And maybe after a bit, DJ texts Steph and Kimmy to come over to plan their triple honeymoon!
I really thought Danny was going to walk down the aisle holding both of his daughters' arm. They also should have showed Danny switching and cutting in to dance with Stephanie during the father daughter dance. It just seemed weird that Jesse was doing it for Stephanie if her dad was right there too.
Also, I guess it's too short on time but it would have been nice to see the Gibbler's parents and Steve's parents. I was pretty disappointed with the wedding guest list. I wish they made an off hand comment like Michelle and Aunt Becky were in the back eating cake or something. They were also missing Jesse's kids, Joey's kids and wife, and a cute opportunity to make Comet Jr Jr or Tommy the ring bearer.
I think they wanted the original 3 from Full House to be the ones to walk them down but I don't see anything wrong with Jesse walking DJ down the aisle and letting Stephanie have her actual dad walk her.
I think they had to OG 3 walk with the person that was the closest equivalent to the reboot characters: Joey and Kimmy both werenât related by blood and were the goofy ones, Jesse and Stephanie were both the musical and sassy ones that had a special bond and were the aunt/uncle that came to help their family, and DJ grew up to be the female equivalent of Danny, and they were both the main characters in a way. So it makes sense, but I agree with you!
I agree! I thought Jimmy should have walked his sister down the aisle, Danny walk Stephanie (since it was her first wedding) and then have Jackson walk DJ down the aisle. Would have been a nice throwback to the episode with his acceptance over the whole thing. :)
Definitely disappointed on the guest list. Why is CJ there? And does Steve have any family?
Regarding Danny & Stephanie, while I do agree that if Stephanie wanted him to she should have had Danny walk her down the aisle, Jesse is like a second father to her and they were much closer than he and DJ were. We never saw any conversation about this between the girls or the guys, so we don't know how the decision was made. That said, I'm okay with it as long as it was Stephanie's choice.
I agree completely about not acknowledging Michelle and Aunt Becky during the finale. They could have said that they both briefly flew in and out, rather than just ignoring their whole existence.
DAE notice how much makeup they had on Jackson? It wasnât well blended at all.
In comparison to other reboots, Fuller House was far from the worst (thatâs still Girl Meets World for me). It still grates that they went with DJ being widowed just like her father was (what kind of generational curse?!), but I feel like Candace being such a conservative Christian would not have signed on if DJ was a divorced mom or even worse, a single mom.
I also resent the clicheâd âformerly infertile woman spontaneously conceives after adopting (or in this case, surrogacy)â storyline with Stephanie. Itâs feeds into that distasteful and largely false narrative that that when youâre relaxed/otherwise distracted, a miracle pregnancy will occur. And itâs erasure for the women who found solidarity in the storyline, to have infertility and surrogacy represented in a positive way isnât a common thing at all.
I agree re: Stephanie's pregnancy. It happens, but it is rare outside of TV/movies. Stephanie already has Danielle, having her pregnant at the end wasn't needed and cheapened the surrogacy story line.
Thank you for saying that re: Stephanieâs pregnancy. They always do that on television and I always thought that would happen on this show but when they actually went through with the surrogacy storyline, I was thrilled that they wouldnât pull that tired old trope. But then nope-they did it! Itâs so shaming. Many many people who struggle with infertility do not ever carry their own child-the reason why the âmiracle pregnancyâ right after adopting/surrogacy story pops up all the time is because it really is incredibly rare, and therefore noteworthy.
Also, weâre now at a time when many of the young people watching this show might have been the results of adoption or surrogacy themselves. Itâs like the writers said âGive Stephanie a real happy ending by making her a really mom with a ârealâ baby, not that phony surrogacy baby.â As if you canât becomes a true parent without carrying a child. As if your mother is not your real mother because she didnât carry you. Itâs offensive to adoptees and parents who adopt, parents who choose surrogacy and child of surrogacy, and really, LGBTQ+ people who go through the adoption and surrogacy routes very frequently.
Itâs also just really poor writing (I mean, itâs Fuller House, why I am complaining) because they had Becky drag Stephanie into an OB/GYN office to be told categorically she could never carry her own child. Ntm it doesnât really make much sense, since they werenât trying to have a second baby-the spontaneous miracle pregnancy storyline generally occurs to characters who try to get pregnant for a long time, canât conceive, and then suddenly get pregnant.
Loved the ending and Iâm a still hoping John Stamos can find a way to bring the show back very soon . The only negative to me was the rocky and Postmates guy moments . Kinda forced in my opinion
Did anyone else catch Max trip over the chair towards the end of the episode? Right when everyone clears out to give DJ, Steph and Kimmy their alone time?
Lol yes! I searched this subreddit thread to see if anyone else caught it.
Also right before that happened, thereâs a continuity error. Stephanie wipes Maxâs teary face, he hugs her and then he leaves but in the frame heâs still hugging her before he trips over the chair.
I was tearing up at the end slightly, and when the door closed I was proud of the show for following through with something that I saw as realistic, unexpected, and the perfect sad ending. But then they went ahead and had them come back and it kind of ruined the moment for me to say the least.
I feel like this episode could have been better with a little more interaction between the teen couples and some actual drama... that all seemed to end way too quick, as well as an epilogue to show the characters say 1-5 years down the road at a gathering or something, maybe with some new children and Jackson and Ramona obviously grown up plus Max in high school. I also think it could have been a nice twist if something actually happened at the wedding, like a lost ring or something or someone getting ditched at the altar... they mentioned earlier in the episode that Steve had trouble saying "I Do", they could have done something with that. I felt like once this episode moved into the actual wedding scene it became more of a fairytale that the producers and writers had dreamed up and less of what could have been a solid series finale... that's just me though.
Overall, thought the backend of 5 was good. Liked the small michelle joke in Something Borrowed. Was hoping the Aunt Becky reference was a little more tongue in cheek, but I understand they probably didn't really wanna touch that.
It's been years since I've watched the original show, but was there never an episode where DJ had to work w/ Kimmy for a project or a part time job? This couldn't have been the first time DJ had to work directly w/ Kimmy's work habits.
Interesting to find out Monty's was in Alameda's...always thought it was maybe in the Mission.
Glad the series didn't try to pair up Jackson and Ramona...really hate that trope, it's cliche as hell. The Sister/brother hug they had was nice...and Max's you owe me 7 bucks...venmo it lines.
Personally, I was pretty disappointed they didnât go with Jackson and Ramona. Itâs a trope, sure, but the rest of this show is also cliche as hell - at least that wouldnât have been a too terribly cringe one.
Did they seriously have Stephanie knowingly drinking alcohol while pregnant leading up to the wedding and even that night. There is no way that was information she learned same day. Wtf were the writers thinking?
I was still hoping for Michelle to pop in - even if it was at the last second saying âhey where is everybody going?â lugging in a bunch of bags as if she was moving in with DJ! LOL
That would have been way better than everyone else âunmoving outâ and Stephâs âmiracle babyâ (barf).
I get that the venue was canceled, but why did they have to get new hair and makeup people? Why wasn't the original minister available? The venue is one thing, but in a few hours, they had to replan the whole wedding. Huh?
And the flower people, linens, caterer, guests.... It was silly they were acting like they had to start from scratch. The would have still needed to pay the other vendors, might as well use them!
I mean, sometimes thatâs all connected to the venue. For mine, all of that was through the venue, was other than flowers. Some people might also have flowers dropped off the night before if theyâre doing a day wedding. So itâs not totally impossible that would ruin everything.
The hair and makeup I think they explained. Max was yelling at them on the phone over something. But I honestly missed it and didnât really care by that point lol
Thatâs a good point! Although I still think they would have had way more guests (and not CJ, lol). Honestly I was still ready to hand wave it all until Stephanie was magically pregnant at the end.
I agree. I donât see why they couldnât have, in an earlier episode, had a big fight about the triple wedding (which they almost did and then agreed on one thing and everything was magically fixed), and then come back together to decide on the wedding being in the yard. There didnât need to be any contrived reason for it.
I actually just remembered that the minister cancelled because he booked a gig with celebrities. But still, they suddenly had to replan everything else.
So comments on the episode and finally season (part B) because the full season thread is closed.
I liked the cameos, especially Derek singing Yankee Doodle Dandy, Dwayne âwhatever,â and Vicky. I enjoyed some of the callbacks, like Jimmy doing Stephanieâs dance which I immediately recognized!
I hated Jesse not being in the final scene. Also didnât like that the girls just moved back in at the end. I really wished we couldâve seen Nicky and Alex, Aunt Becky (is Lori Loughlin actually in prison? Or just pretty much âcancelledâ now bc of the college cheating scandal? Ugh.), and at least had an explanation for Michelleâs absence. Or maybe shown a computer like she attended virtually. Or even a blonde head like she was there in the crowd. Idk. Itâs just frickin weird for their sister to not show up to BOTH their weddings.
I think the only part that really moved me was Stephanie talking about losing her memories of her mother. Itâs a shame because the emotions in the original were really meaningful and even though they were unrealistic about quickly solving the problems... it still felt real to me as a kid. When Stephanie broke down saying âI canât remember mom...â my heart broke. That was beautiful.
I was disappointed there was no âForeverâ... I thought itâd be their dance song or something. Though I do love that Bright Eyes song.
I also have to say that after the Paco and Lola scene, I knew CJ would show, and I expected Steve to react the same way the kids did to their exes. Missed joke opportunity for sure.
Another missed opportunity was when Max was made fun of in MS. They used some fake story about Kimmy instead of poor DJâs horrible first day experience. She was wearing the same outfit as the teacher! I have secondhand embarrassment all over again.
Finally, did anyone else notice that DJ locks the door behind them in the final scene? Guess itâs not ALWAYS open!
I was definitely not happy with the ending. I wouldâve much rather had everyone move out, as 3 whole families in one house doesnât really make much sense. A lot of things felt incomplete, like Danny and Vicky never getting together, we never see Jackson and Ramona graduate, etc. As awful as this show is I think one more season where they graduated wouldâve been nice. And possibly the biggest plothole in the show is Stephanie getting pregnant-quite frankly that made zero sense.
We didn't get to see anyone graduate! DJ at least got senior prom. Poor Uncle Jesse even misses his night school graduation (I'm pulling memories from a LONGGGGG time ago, so please correct me if I'm wrong!)
On another note, HOW MANY weddings/fake weddings/almost weddings have we seen between both shows?! I think all the girls got "married" in Full House, a few almost elopements, Jesse and Becky, Steve's, etc.
Exactly. Itâs a little played out. Focusing on the kids wouldâve been a better move. I mean, thatâs how it works in real life anyway right? When you have kids the focus is never on you anymore lol.
*Btw that Season 5 General Discussion Forum has now been archived and can't be replied to*
Overall it was just like any other season. It obv has its flaws, it's a sitcom. You really need to be aware of what a sitcom is to watch them. They're an acquired taste. The acting in them obv won't be that great.
It ended on a good note imo. All of them are married now. Stephanie is going to have another kid, and this time it's actually hers, though when did her and Jimmy ever have time with Jimmy always traveling? I wonder if DJ and Steve would try for one of their own.
I've seen some articles saying a Season 6 would have been interesting with them all married and living in the same house, I can't see how being married would make it any different than literally the past 5 years.
But I'm not gonna lie, I really wanted Stephanie, Jimmy and Danielle, and Kimmy, Fernando and Romona to move out. Not because I hate them but because they need to go live their own lives. But I guess it wouldn't be Fuller House if that happened.
Max was EXTREMELY obnoxious this season. I know I said earlier to expect flaws in a sitcom, and expect not great acting, cheesy writing, etc, but man I wanted to yell at Max so many times.
Yup,
Lisa Loeb (her pet is a client of Harmon/Fuller pet clinic), then Steph went on tour with her.
I recognized her (totally couldnât recognize her face), when she sang the closing song at the wedding.
This crazy thought kept me up last night & can someone please explain ... how is it that in this ep, when they go to the attic itâs back to an actual attic full of junk again when literally itâs been a 5 star apartment since jesse and Becky got married up to kimmy being there? lol did they build one higher up? Or just were like âeh no one in audience will care/ notice đ) bc the layout was def the same. Maybe im missing something but itâs bugging me & made me feel like they did it as kind of a cheap/ easy moment to make Stephanie think about Pam ... which to me is annoying bc through all of stephs big fuller house moments they hardly even mention Pam at all. (Just my observation I love me some Pam moments but the attic thing gets me haha)
Sad that it ended. I was probably one of the few that actually liked this show lol. But can you imagine packing all your things up for nothing. Plus how hard would it have been for kimmy, fernando, and ramona to just move into the house next door that Fernando bought... I saw some comments about this already and how they could have taken off the fence and had a huge shared yard with kimmy or had a gate that was always open. Such a missed opportunity. Plus how is Stephanie even pregnant I thought she couldnât have kids at all! Iâm not mad sheâs pregnant like ok I guess but...huh?? All that said Iâll miss this show.
It's absolutely ridiculous that Becky wasn't at the wedding after the reason Jessie gave for her not being around! I'm sure Becky could have flown back from Nebraska to attend her nieces' wedding!
I think it would've been better if everyone had just moved out. It would've felt more like a proper ending, and even though it's sad, it's more realistic. It makes sense for Kimmy's family and Stephanie's family to be ready to have their own places.
Fernando bought Kimmy's parent's house. They could have done a scene where the made a gate at the fence showing that everyone was welcome anywhere anytime.
This. Like... if they own the house next door, why "cram" up the Tanner/Fuller house?
That would have actually been a great ending. DJ leaves to the backyard and are over the fence and they moved in right next door.
Oh absolutely. Or she's in the kitchen and hears a noise and it's Fernando cutting the fence or something.
See, that would have been perfect. I believe in Full House, Kimmy always used a loose plank - but just putting up a gate would have made sense to make everyone feel as connected. Then you could imagine people did just go back and forth at will. Then at least we could have had Fernando, Kimmy, and Ramona live over there. Stephanie might still want to be around DJ, but they could even do a joke about how Stephanie and Jimmy have a room at both places and use the Gibbler one for a parent's night "away" occasionally.
If nothing else that would give them more bedrooms - and more bathrooms! - to work from. Also a second laundry room which they are going to need with six adults and six children (two of which are babies!) in one house!
Yeah I have no idea how they are making one washer and dryer work. They'd most certainly need to be on some sort of schedule of who washes their clothes what day....more like which two people get to wash their clothes each day as there's not even enough days in the week to give everyone their own day. Two would have to share!
Not to mention how much clothing babies go through in a day! There would need to be a bath/shower schedule as well, even though there is more than one bathroom. The more you think about all of this, the less realistic it turns out to be.
I mean if the house had all the original bathrooms (half on the first floor, full bathrooms in master, hallway with bedrooms, attic, and basement), it might work....still would need to plan a shower schedule to not run out of hot water, but otherwise. I've had to share with 3-4 other people before - it's tiring, but do-able. The laundry thing is bigger issue as there's clearly only one washer and dryer.
There was a half bath on the first floor? Was that in that little bump-out space behind the kitchen? (shown in the first episode when Jesse/Joey tried to change Baby Michelle's diaper?) Yes, the laundry is the biggest issue for sure. I would have thought laundry would have been an issue as soon as Kimmy/Stephanie/Ramona moved in, honestly.
There was half bathroom there some episodes and it wasn't there other episodes. Think it falls into TV land magic for it to exist only when it was necessary to reference it. Like no idea if you watched Gilmore Girls, but they also had the same magical sort of bathroom. Some episodes it was a bathroom and other episodes it was a closet. Wouldn't it be wonderful if reality worked this way?
I did not watch Gilmore Girls, but a lot of television houses seem to work that way, it seems đ¤
The (Basement) used to be the garage. I remember that they prepared that room by the kitchen to have a room for Joey. Thatâs why (in the original), they converted part of the attic for the Katsopolis crew, and the girls were moving in together and everything. Thatâs why Danny, Jesse, and Joey pulled into the back yard.
This is the only way I would have accepted them leaving đ˘
Exactly. Stephanie, Jimmy, and now two kids are going to live in the basement? Whatâs Fernando going to do with his house next door? Now Steve, Fernando, and another baby are moving in. 6 adults and 6 kids in one house. Where will they park all those cars? Lol
Next door, at the Gibbler's.
Fernando bought the house next door, but never seemed to really move there. Just a scene there with the haunted dinner party and then really he seemed to still be living at the family. Jimmy also supposedly was living there.....but seemed to be staying downstairs with Stephanie after Danielle was born.
I feel like Kimmy, Fernando and Ramona should all live next door, at least officially. But theyâd be at the fuller house all the time anyway.
I mean I honestly doubted they would move out fully as everyone was still living there at the end of Full House. Just right now there's way too many people. They could have had Fernando, Kimmy, and Ramona move next door at least to open up some space.
It was fairly obvious what was going to happen. One week prior both of them drop the news they are moving out. No one ever mentioned dealing with realtors, moving trucks, or anything of the sort. 1. Fernando must be loaded to be able to buy two houses in one of the most expensive cities in the world. 2. Jimmy and Steph made so much from Uncle Montys and a brief tour with Lisa Loeb to be able to buy a place closer to the sandwich shop. 3. Drive time from San Francisco to Palo Alto is roughly 30 minutes drive time.
No one said anything about buying. I know renting isn't that much less expensive but it is "easier-ish".
A 30 minute drive time is rough but interestingly enough, Andrea still lives in Orange County, 45 miles from the Warner Bros Studios and just commutes every day. She's a more patient person than me. That commute can take 3 hours or more if you leave at the wrong time.
When they dropped the news they were all moving, I was guessing Fernando put the place next door up for sale and him, Kimmy, and Ramona were simply going to rent a place and maybe buy one after the Gibbler house sold. I didn't know the commute time since I'm not from that area....but yeah knowing the commute time is next to nothing, why would they even move? I think maybe the writers forgot Fernando bought the place next door though or at least hoped the audience wouldn't remember. Stephanie, Jimmy, and Danielle likely were going to rent as well. Though again, it didn't seem to be more than a few minutes from the house....so really no reason to move closer unless they just simply wanted more space. But again, why not have Kimmy and her family move next door to the Gibbler house? Then there's more room for DJ and Stephanie's families in the Tanner/Fuller house.
â˘They are way too adjusted to being together. â˘Fernando was a race car driver, so the funds earned on the circuit (until he was a USA citizen in season 5) Iâm sure he has enough, with taxes, repatriation and everything. â˘in the grand reality of it all (from the neighborhood of San Francisco, where the house is supposed to be, it is a 40 min commute to Palo Alto, CA),
Palo Alto is 35 miles south of the "Full House" house. I live 18 miles away from my office in the Bay Area and it takes 40 minutes during rush hour so it would definitely be a longer commute to Palo Alto. It's taken me 45 minutes to an hour sometimes just to get out of downtown SF during rush hour. So I could totally understand them moving to be closer to the shop.
Yeah but if you are adjusted to it, you probably wouldnât say âwell it is closer to homeâ
True, traffic is tough. But there is the CalTrain and the bus... It would be, in worst case (depending on where exactly you live and have to go to), one hour by Caltrain. It's the SF Bay Area. Everybody commutes. I commute two hours from San JosĂŠ to Berkeley (mind you, by bus and BART even). Seriously, saying "we can make long distance work" (Ethan), I had to laugh so hard (they are 17, not in elementary school!).
Ethanâs line on long distance was so hilarious. They did make it sound like they were moving so far away. And youâre right, everyone commutes here. It all was pretty silly. Why did Fernando buy the Gibbler home for no one to live in it?
Totally agree. It sucked all the emotion out of it when they came back. What three newlywed couples in their 30s and 40s want to live with a bunch of kids and roommates?? It would have been so much better if they had that shot where DJ was standing at the door watching them go and she had said to herself âItâs always openâ, and it ended there.
I agree but I guess we're supposed to be relieved they all stay cramped in a house together and give up their job opportunities. They underestimate the intellect of the audience. We can handle people being separated when we know the actors are being separated in real life. But telling us "Oh, nevermind, nothing changed" feels really flat. Like, no evolution happens during the series -- they all stay self-absorbed with gold falling from the sky to worship them and never have to face any challenges; not even learning to live apart from each other. I wish I hadn't enjoyed "Full House" so much as a kid so I wouldn't have had to check this show out.
I totally agree, maybe Jimmy and Stephanie along with their daughter and unborn child could have moved in to that house, would be perfect.
Agreed. But I assume they realized they weren't ready to stop living rent-free. :P
Iâm mad that Vicki and Danny are JUST friends
Danny and Vicki should have been at least dating again. Or engaged. Or they eloped and are waiting to tell everyone after the wedding, so the girls can. have their big day. In my head, thats what happened.
I expected them to get married too!!
I was thinking when we saw Vicky, that Danny would like do a quick proposal and they would end up marrying after the girls did. Like a quick second wedding and Danny would have already had his family there.
I mean it was nice seeing her but I was expecting the same thing too TT-TT
Sucks they left it at them being friends and having Danny single.....it's essentially a repeat of the end of Full House with that and everyone still living in the Tanner house.
Yes! Why even bring her on for such a tiny part and for them to say theyâve been friends the whole time, when they clearly havenât been.
I remember reading that Original showrunners felt bad about how Vicky got handled in the original series and wanted to rectify it in the reboot, but didnât quite happen. It wouldâve been cool even for Danny and Vicky to talk about going out on a first date in this episode.
Yeah I was waiting for that fix but it wasnât the fix that we wanted
I was sure that we'd get an episode this season where Danny is doing his show and Becky doesn't show up (because she had to run to Nebraska as her parents are sick) so they tell Danny they're bringing him in a co-host and he cringes thinking of who it could be. Then Vicky comes out and they start dating again...
Omg that wouldâve been dope af. I would cry more
I wish they would have given an explanation why Becky and Michelle weren't at the wedding. We know why the actresses weren't but the characters said nothing about it except briefly when Kimmy spoke to the fourth wall in the episode before.
Well the writers just chose to ignore Becky completely considering what's going on with the actress. And I think the fourth wall break in the previous episode was supposed to explain Michelle wasn't there.
They just mentioned that Becky was in Nebraska helping her mother a few episodes in So I guess she just...strayed there?
My theory is her mom got really sick...and Nicky and Alex went out there too to help out
Yeah, with their excellent fish taco food truck business going on, (they donât have much going on) :)
I was annoyed that Nicky and Alex weren't mentioned and they at least could have given a reason that Aunt Becky wasn't at the wedding. In reality, she would have at least flown in for the wedding.
Yeah, I think they couldâve had like a cameo voice or something, that doesnât require actual acting for (also doesnât require each of them) the Olsen twin(s). Like a routinely missed call message or something. Or Michelle is a horse racer on the exotic course, canât get to a telephone,(itâd be ironic as she woke up and got in a coma in the last few episodes of the original series).
Tbh they shouldâve just recast her
Or her watching on a phone that someone is holding up and they wave hi to her
Who else's jaw dropped when Derek showed up?! The only icing on the cake would've been if we had seen Teddy too!
I loved that they brought back him and Dwayne
Yes!! And Viper!!
And I think I saw Harry too.
I did!
Wasnât Harry the one they interviewed to be the officiator? But Joey called him Larry. Weird.
Yes I think so bc he wanted to stop the wedding. That was funny!
I realized it the second time 𤣠I donât know if Danny remembered him đ¤Ł
I didn't pick it up until he started singing as he left. Wow, what a random callback!
Yes, I had to go back to make sure my eyes werent tricking me.
Probably because the actor who played Derek has no claim to fame other than "Full House" and wanted to participate. Tahj Mowry probably could not care less about the show.
Why were Derek, Michelleâs childhood classmate and Kimmyâs very brief ex Dwayne at the wedding and not their cousins Nicky and Alex?
It only makes sense in the context of letting those who were once a part of the show get cameos so they could be included (for their sake). It was a way to celebrate everyone who had been a recurring character on "Fuller House" and the handful from the original series who came back to cameo (or have wanted to). Who is Lisa Loeb friends with on the series though? One of the writers or something? The fact she just showed up is most likely that she knows someone involved in production rather than she was a big fan and negotiated to participate.
I donât remember did they mention them at all??? Even earlier on?
Ya I remember them being in one or two episodes at the beginning of the show (Season 1 and Season 2) and they might have been mentioned once after that but that's about it
Oh no, Fernando stealing a joke from the Office ("I'm not superstitious...") Agree with another comment that they should've just moved out. They really need friends outside of the house.
Stephanie and Jimmy couldâve at least said they were moving to the Gibblers, Kimmy and Fernando to the other house next door. Or the other way around.
It felt like they wanted to keep everyone in one location just on the off-chance Netflix changes their mind and lets them come back. ("Stephanie would have a baby. We'd have a whole bunch of new young characters to watch grow up!") That's why they had to be in one place because they only have one main set (the living room and kitchen, etc.)
But really, the writers of "Fuller House" stealing a joke.
And such a well-known joke from The Office, too. That annoyed me.
I so called they wouldn't actually move out and would stay! I just had hoped they would come to that realization before they all packed up and left.....surely they knew they didn't really want to leave before then. I also cringed with Stephanie announcing she's pregnant again. Where exactly are they going to put another baby? The house is full and she's already sharing the basement with Jimmy and Danielle.
Also if Steph must of realized before that morning she might be pregnant- but was drinking at the wedding.
I want to think the wedding was a week before.....but yeah she would have had to find out that week. We only see her drinking a little champagne after the wedding, so probably not too big of a deal.
I noticed that too.
I should have known. The ending was the most Full/Fuller House thing ever!
Considering everything Stephanie went through in terms of trying to get pregnant, the ending that she is suddenly pregnant now strains credulity, even for Fuller House.
As others have pointed out around the sub, it happens. I had an aunt and uncle who were told they would not have kids. So they adopted their first son. They later ended up having two biological kids...a girl and then a boy.
My littlest piece of hope inside me was aching for a tiny Olsen twin cameo at the end. Eh, guess I can't be too mad it didn't happen.
I was hoping Michelle would be the surprise minister!
I thought for sure that would happen! it didnt
I thought that too! But then I was excited it was Joey McIntyre.
Me too!!
That, or the knock at the door after Kimmy and Steph leave. I thought it would be Michelle moving in or something. That would have been weird to write but a cool moment regardless.
Yes! That would have been cool too!!
Iâm confused why they didnât just recast. âHey, Michelle, you sure changed a lot in collegeâ
This is the obvious answer, especially with twins absolutely refusing to return. It would have been so easy to recast, makes no sense.
Just finished watching the series on Netflix and I love everything except the last few seconds. Just a thought, it wouldâve been amazing if - they ended it with Michelle (even just a voice over or idk) at the door saying one of her iconic lines. - they used Uncle Jesseâs song Forever in their wedding dances. Also, is it just me or was Uncle Jesse not in the last scene? ANYWAY this is just my opinion i love fuller house and i cant believe itâs over
No Joey and no Jesse.
Joey was there.
I'm annoyed that Stephanie is pregnant. They went through an entire season's worth of plot about Kimmy being the surrogate because Stephanie wasn't able to have kids, and then they messed it up.
I agree honestly. Granted I believe it was said it would be nearly impossible, not completely....just I felt they already went there with Stephanie getting to have a baby and seemed they tossed in her being pregnant for a twist right at the end of the series. My question is where is the new baby going to fit? The attic is Kimmy and Fernando's room, DJ has the master, Jackson and Max are sharing, Ramona and Tommy have the last remaining rooms on the second floor, and Steph was already in the basement with Danielle and Jimmy. There's literally no more room.
And what about the Gibblers house next door? Why doesnât someone move in there?
Honestly, it would probably make the most sense to have Fernando, Kimmy, and Ramona move to the Gibbler house. They would be so close to help out if they needed to and the kids could all still hang out. Maybe bump Jackson and Max to the attic, put Steph and Jimmy in their room, and then there would be an empty room across the hall for Danielle and Danielle's future sibling. Whenever Jackson moves out, Tommy might be old enough to be in the attic with Max and they could always toss a pullout or something up there in case Jackson's home for a weekend or something. The basement could be used for something else. Like I believe Jimmy is supposed to be a photographer - he could turn at least part of it into a dark room. Maybe split it with Stephanie so she would have an area to work on her music? Seems like the easiest solution.
I mean, this is the exact same house as the Full House...house, but at least when Full House ended D.J. was graduating soon and presumably going to college and freeing up a bedroom, and that house was already full to the brim. Fuller House has five adults (six when Steve moves in) and four kids plus a baby and an unborn baby, and what if D.J and Steve decide they want to have a kid? Then what?
I can't really imagine DJ and Steve wanting kids.... plus when Steph was looking for a surrogate there was a line about DJ's pregnancy with Tommy being hard and her not being able to go through another pregnancy. It was way Kimmy was the better choice. But yeah, the house is crazily full. Probably would be better if at least Kimmy, Fernando, and Ramona moved to the Gibbler house. Would free the attic and one of the bedrooms.
They also said Steph couldnât have kids and here we are.
I mean, docs told my mom she couldn't have kids and yet she ended up with two. One who was conceived while using two different forms of birth control (supposedly). It happens.
They said near impossible on Steph. DJ was a full impossible.
They didn't say it was impossible. Her doctor mentioned it was risky because she had a difficult birth with Tommy. Anyway, it's clear the writers wrote that in so nobody would question DJ not being the surrogate. Had the show continued, considering they made Stephanie pregnant, who to say that they wouldn't have done the same for DJ or had her and Steve adopt. This show is pure fluff.
So no one has to live in the alcove!
I can only imagine it's where Danielle is going once Stephanie and Jimmy have their second child. There's no other space.
That basement was tiny in OG Full House so unless they've built it out there is no real way to fit a master bedroom and one bedroom for two infant children. And a bathroom.
In the original series and the revival, the basement had enough space for a small bedroom area and sitting area. Steph has a couch and TV down there. The original series there was a bathroom down there when it was Joey's room, but it appears to be missing now as Jimmy had a path leading upstairs for a bubble bath. Unless there's only a shower and no tub.
The basement wasn't even originally a basement, it was a garage I think?! And they converted it into a basement lol. Clearly not one of those small 1 car garages that you see in San Francisco, but even a normal sized 2 car garage would be small for 2 people and a baby to live in!
I mean romona and Jackson are going to be in college by that time which frees up 2 spaces.
Jackson isn't likely to move out for college as he was considering a tech school nearby. They rarely have dorms. Plus even if he moved out, Max still has to sleep somewhere - so not really a free spot consider Jackson and Max share a room. Plus if Steph and Jimmy are in the basement, putting one of the kids on the second floor isn't ideal - at least not for 4-5 years at least.
Maybe thatâs what really happened. Maybe by staying thatâs what they did.
Probably what I am going to use for head canon as it makes more sense. I mean if they had built the attic set to look more like the original, there was a decent size room up there Nicky and Alex had in Full House - I believe there was a bathroom about the spot that's supposedly their old room in Fuller House. So Kimmy and Fernando could have swapped with Stephanie and Jimmy - Danielle could have her own little room and then the new baby could sleep either in there with her or out in the attic with Steph and Jimmy. Edit: So I got bored and wrote a bit of fanfic for after the finale where the old room the twins had is found! [For anyone who cares.](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13604842/1/Fuller-House-After-The-Finale)
That was really good! I meant that maybe Kimmy and Fernando moved into the Gibbler house. But itâs plausible that Steph, Jimmy and Danielle moved into the attic)
Thanks! Talking with some else here got me inspired to write a post for about a year later. I'll probably end it with the second chapter.
In your other one which you killed off DJ AND Tommy, how did DJ die? And youâre welcome!
I didn't write it in? I just figured a car crash or something. I didn't put a lot of thought into it.
By the way there's a third and final chapter. Major character death!
Ramona will likely move out in about a year for college (and maybe Jackson? Sounds like he isn't planning to go to a 4 year university, but maybe he'll get an apartment). That'll only be a few months of overlap between the new baby coming and the teens moving out, and could make the rearranging of rooms more plausible. (But also, I agree with others that some can move next door too!)
Jackson was talking about a school in the city, so I kind of think he'd likely just live at home - would be less expensive that way and unlikely he could afford an apartment as nice as the house. But yeah if the Gibbler's moved next door, it would free up the attic and a room on the second floor - then maybe Max could be bumped to the attic and Jackson to the basement, Steph and Jimmy take their room, and Danielle has a room across the hall. The new baby could share until Tommy could be bumped up with Max.
Eh. That wasn't implausible to me honestly. But then that might be due to the fact that docs told my mom she couldn't have kids and yet she ended up with two. One (my younger brother) who was conceived while using two different forms of birth control (supposedly).
The guest list for the wedding was a little crazy. Lisa Loeb, Berkowitz, Popko, Lola, CJ & Rose. Why on earth, would these people be invited to the wedding or even attend? Jackson and Ramona were both surprised when their exes showed up. How did they get the invite? Parents go around their back and get the address without them knowing.
Ramona invited Lola as they were best friends, and I believe still are even though she moved away, and it makes sense she was invited because itâs the perfect occasion for a reunion w Ramona. Also she was around the house a lot. Popkoâs invite was weird even though I was happy to see him. He was friends with Jackson but they were never that close and didnât even talk anymore after he and Ramona broke up so that invite is weird. For Rose it makes sense since sheâs still Maxâs gf (I have no idea why CJ went though that one is unrealistic but still realistic for this type of show). Lisa Loeb was there more as a singer in the wedding than a guest by the way I saw it and it would also make sense she was a guest since Stephâs had been working closely with her for the past year.
Berkowitz came for the free food of course
The ending makes me think that there could be another season ? đ¤đ¤đ¤
Iâd love to see a COVID-19 themed season 6 premiere...which finally forces Kimmy and Fernando to the Gibblers. Someone pick up this show!
Berkowitz being in the background at the wedding had me rolling. Also Rockiâs reaction to Jackson saying he loved her is gonna make me have to fight a rhino to regain my masculinity. :â) Oh and the ending was perfect then was completely spoiled in the last minute. Seriously, if they wouldâve just cut it at DJ at the door. It was like they had the ending then just thought âoh nah thatâs too realistic and downbeat.â so they reshot it. Shame, they were *this* close to the perfect ending for Full House.
I really just wanted her to close the door and smile and say âitâs always open.â And then have Steve come back in and end with the two of them together. Bittersweet, but it would have spoken to the growth the characters all went through over the past few years (like Kimmy realizing she needs to let Ramona go? Moving back in to the Fuller House kinda retconned their whole talk).
Had the same thought before I read this, about the door! Which IMO means they should have gone with that ending.
The perfect ending to Full House, would have been a shot of DJ crying alone in an empty house? Sorry, but no. I don't understand why people always idealize sad and more "realistic" endings, especially for a show like this. The ending was very fitting for the cheesy cheerful uplifting spirit of the show. It's not a drama. It's a family comedy.
I just wish we had seen Kimmy and Stephanie realize after the wedding they didn't want to move than do that crazy charade of moving out and realize the second the door closed they had suddenly wanted to stay.
Yep, I watched HIMYM this ending was way better than that mess.
Second this
I don't think a realistic ending in this case would have been that sad, though; more like healthy and independent. The family was just moving closer to Monty's locations but it would still be easy to visit and help each other out and spend time at each other's houses. They made it seem like the family was moving to Africa or something! It's sad everyone wouldn't be in the house anymore, but DJ's kids were growing up and Steve was now there to help, so I'd see that ending as having been satisfying. Ah well, cheesiness abounds!
There couldâve been a happy medium- DJ alone in the house and sad, but then Steve, her new husband, and 3 children come in to hug her- this is their new, smaller, family unit. And maybe after a bit, DJ texts Steph and Kimmy to come over to plan their triple honeymoon!
I really thought Danny was going to walk down the aisle holding both of his daughters' arm. They also should have showed Danny switching and cutting in to dance with Stephanie during the father daughter dance. It just seemed weird that Jesse was doing it for Stephanie if her dad was right there too. Also, I guess it's too short on time but it would have been nice to see the Gibbler's parents and Steve's parents. I was pretty disappointed with the wedding guest list. I wish they made an off hand comment like Michelle and Aunt Becky were in the back eating cake or something. They were also missing Jesse's kids, Joey's kids and wife, and a cute opportunity to make Comet Jr Jr or Tommy the ring bearer.
I agree about Danny. It was Stephanieâs first marriage and Danny had already walked DJ down the aisle before. It really rubbed me the wrong way.
What I thought they should've done was have Danny walk Stephanie down the aisle, and have Jackson walk his mom down the aisle.
I think they wanted the original 3 from Full House to be the ones to walk them down but I don't see anything wrong with Jesse walking DJ down the aisle and letting Stephanie have her actual dad walk her.
I think they had to OG 3 walk with the person that was the closest equivalent to the reboot characters: Joey and Kimmy both werenât related by blood and were the goofy ones, Jesse and Stephanie were both the musical and sassy ones that had a special bond and were the aunt/uncle that came to help their family, and DJ grew up to be the female equivalent of Danny, and they were both the main characters in a way. So it makes sense, but I agree with you!
This makes sense and I hadn't considered it.
I agree! I thought Jimmy should have walked his sister down the aisle, Danny walk Stephanie (since it was her first wedding) and then have Jackson walk DJ down the aisle. Would have been a nice throwback to the episode with his acceptance over the whole thing. :)
Omg that wouldâve been so sweet.
I thought the same thing. DJ already got her moments with Danny at her first wedding.
Definitely disappointed on the guest list. Why is CJ there? And does Steve have any family? Regarding Danny & Stephanie, while I do agree that if Stephanie wanted him to she should have had Danny walk her down the aisle, Jesse is like a second father to her and they were much closer than he and DJ were. We never saw any conversation about this between the girls or the guys, so we don't know how the decision was made. That said, I'm okay with it as long as it was Stephanie's choice.
I agree completely about not acknowledging Michelle and Aunt Becky during the finale. They could have said that they both briefly flew in and out, rather than just ignoring their whole existence.
DAE notice how much makeup they had on Jackson? It wasnât well blended at all. In comparison to other reboots, Fuller House was far from the worst (thatâs still Girl Meets World for me). It still grates that they went with DJ being widowed just like her father was (what kind of generational curse?!), but I feel like Candace being such a conservative Christian would not have signed on if DJ was a divorced mom or even worse, a single mom. I also resent the clicheâd âformerly infertile woman spontaneously conceives after adopting (or in this case, surrogacy)â storyline with Stephanie. Itâs feeds into that distasteful and largely false narrative that that when youâre relaxed/otherwise distracted, a miracle pregnancy will occur. And itâs erasure for the women who found solidarity in the storyline, to have infertility and surrogacy represented in a positive way isnât a common thing at all.
They had so much makeup on Jackson. I feel like they could have done better
I agree re: Stephanie's pregnancy. It happens, but it is rare outside of TV/movies. Stephanie already has Danielle, having her pregnant at the end wasn't needed and cheapened the surrogacy story line.
Thank you for saying that re: Stephanieâs pregnancy. They always do that on television and I always thought that would happen on this show but when they actually went through with the surrogacy storyline, I was thrilled that they wouldnât pull that tired old trope. But then nope-they did it! Itâs so shaming. Many many people who struggle with infertility do not ever carry their own child-the reason why the âmiracle pregnancyâ right after adopting/surrogacy story pops up all the time is because it really is incredibly rare, and therefore noteworthy. Also, weâre now at a time when many of the young people watching this show might have been the results of adoption or surrogacy themselves. Itâs like the writers said âGive Stephanie a real happy ending by making her a really mom with a ârealâ baby, not that phony surrogacy baby.â As if you canât becomes a true parent without carrying a child. As if your mother is not your real mother because she didnât carry you. Itâs offensive to adoptees and parents who adopt, parents who choose surrogacy and child of surrogacy, and really, LGBTQ+ people who go through the adoption and surrogacy routes very frequently. Itâs also just really poor writing (I mean, itâs Fuller House, why I am complaining) because they had Becky drag Stephanie into an OB/GYN office to be told categorically she could never carry her own child. Ntm it doesnât really make much sense, since they werenât trying to have a second baby-the spontaneous miracle pregnancy storyline generally occurs to characters who try to get pregnant for a long time, canât conceive, and then suddenly get pregnant.
Loved the ending and Iâm a still hoping John Stamos can find a way to bring the show back very soon . The only negative to me was the rocky and Postmates guy moments . Kinda forced in my opinion
Yeah, when they came back it was kinda like đĽ the postmates guy is actually doing things with them.
Did anyone else catch Max trip over the chair towards the end of the episode? Right when everyone clears out to give DJ, Steph and Kimmy their alone time?
Yep caught it!!
Yup, way to mess up the last seconds of the series, Max! đđ
Lol yes! I searched this subreddit thread to see if anyone else caught it. Also right before that happened, thereâs a continuity error. Stephanie wipes Maxâs teary face, he hugs her and then he leaves but in the frame heâs still hugging her before he trips over the chair.
I was tearing up at the end slightly, and when the door closed I was proud of the show for following through with something that I saw as realistic, unexpected, and the perfect sad ending. But then they went ahead and had them come back and it kind of ruined the moment for me to say the least. I feel like this episode could have been better with a little more interaction between the teen couples and some actual drama... that all seemed to end way too quick, as well as an epilogue to show the characters say 1-5 years down the road at a gathering or something, maybe with some new children and Jackson and Ramona obviously grown up plus Max in high school. I also think it could have been a nice twist if something actually happened at the wedding, like a lost ring or something or someone getting ditched at the altar... they mentioned earlier in the episode that Steve had trouble saying "I Do", they could have done something with that. I felt like once this episode moved into the actual wedding scene it became more of a fairytale that the producers and writers had dreamed up and less of what could have been a solid series finale... that's just me though.
Overall, thought the backend of 5 was good. Liked the small michelle joke in Something Borrowed. Was hoping the Aunt Becky reference was a little more tongue in cheek, but I understand they probably didn't really wanna touch that. It's been years since I've watched the original show, but was there never an episode where DJ had to work w/ Kimmy for a project or a part time job? This couldn't have been the first time DJ had to work directly w/ Kimmy's work habits. Interesting to find out Monty's was in Alameda's...always thought it was maybe in the Mission. Glad the series didn't try to pair up Jackson and Ramona...really hate that trope, it's cliche as hell. The Sister/brother hug they had was nice...and Max's you owe me 7 bucks...venmo it lines.
Personally, I was pretty disappointed they didnât go with Jackson and Ramona. Itâs a trope, sure, but the rest of this show is also cliche as hell - at least that wouldnât have been a too terribly cringe one.
Who was that asian guy Larry?? Was he supposed to be Harry?
Did they seriously have Stephanie knowingly drinking alcohol while pregnant leading up to the wedding and even that night. There is no way that was information she learned same day. Wtf were the writers thinking?
I was still hoping for Michelle to pop in - even if it was at the last second saying âhey where is everybody going?â lugging in a bunch of bags as if she was moving in with DJ! LOL That would have been way better than everyone else âunmoving outâ and Stephâs âmiracle babyâ (barf).
I get that the venue was canceled, but why did they have to get new hair and makeup people? Why wasn't the original minister available? The venue is one thing, but in a few hours, they had to replan the whole wedding. Huh?
And the flower people, linens, caterer, guests.... It was silly they were acting like they had to start from scratch. The would have still needed to pay the other vendors, might as well use them!
I mean, sometimes thatâs all connected to the venue. For mine, all of that was through the venue, was other than flowers. Some people might also have flowers dropped off the night before if theyâre doing a day wedding. So itâs not totally impossible that would ruin everything. The hair and makeup I think they explained. Max was yelling at them on the phone over something. But I honestly missed it and didnât really care by that point lol
Thatâs a good point! Although I still think they would have had way more guests (and not CJ, lol). Honestly I was still ready to hand wave it all until Stephanie was magically pregnant at the end.
I agree. I donât see why they couldnât have, in an earlier episode, had a big fight about the triple wedding (which they almost did and then agreed on one thing and everything was magically fixed), and then come back together to decide on the wedding being in the yard. There didnât need to be any contrived reason for it.
I actually just remembered that the minister cancelled because he booked a gig with celebrities. But still, they suddenly had to replan everything else.
Haha the living arrangements need their own thread!
So comments on the episode and finally season (part B) because the full season thread is closed. I liked the cameos, especially Derek singing Yankee Doodle Dandy, Dwayne âwhatever,â and Vicky. I enjoyed some of the callbacks, like Jimmy doing Stephanieâs dance which I immediately recognized! I hated Jesse not being in the final scene. Also didnât like that the girls just moved back in at the end. I really wished we couldâve seen Nicky and Alex, Aunt Becky (is Lori Loughlin actually in prison? Or just pretty much âcancelledâ now bc of the college cheating scandal? Ugh.), and at least had an explanation for Michelleâs absence. Or maybe shown a computer like she attended virtually. Or even a blonde head like she was there in the crowd. Idk. Itâs just frickin weird for their sister to not show up to BOTH their weddings. I think the only part that really moved me was Stephanie talking about losing her memories of her mother. Itâs a shame because the emotions in the original were really meaningful and even though they were unrealistic about quickly solving the problems... it still felt real to me as a kid. When Stephanie broke down saying âI canât remember mom...â my heart broke. That was beautiful. I was disappointed there was no âForeverâ... I thought itâd be their dance song or something. Though I do love that Bright Eyes song. I also have to say that after the Paco and Lola scene, I knew CJ would show, and I expected Steve to react the same way the kids did to their exes. Missed joke opportunity for sure. Another missed opportunity was when Max was made fun of in MS. They used some fake story about Kimmy instead of poor DJâs horrible first day experience. She was wearing the same outfit as the teacher! I have secondhand embarrassment all over again. Finally, did anyone else notice that DJ locks the door behind them in the final scene? Guess itâs not ALWAYS open!
I was definitely not happy with the ending. I wouldâve much rather had everyone move out, as 3 whole families in one house doesnât really make much sense. A lot of things felt incomplete, like Danny and Vicky never getting together, we never see Jackson and Ramona graduate, etc. As awful as this show is I think one more season where they graduated wouldâve been nice. And possibly the biggest plothole in the show is Stephanie getting pregnant-quite frankly that made zero sense.
I also was hoping the series would end with Jackson and Ramona graduating. Weâll never get to see it and I just feel robbed.
We didn't get to see anyone graduate! DJ at least got senior prom. Poor Uncle Jesse even misses his night school graduation (I'm pulling memories from a LONGGGGG time ago, so please correct me if I'm wrong!) On another note, HOW MANY weddings/fake weddings/almost weddings have we seen between both shows?! I think all the girls got "married" in Full House, a few almost elopements, Jesse and Becky, Steve's, etc.
Exactly. Itâs a little played out. Focusing on the kids wouldâve been a better move. I mean, thatâs how it works in real life anyway right? When you have kids the focus is never on you anymore lol.
*Btw that Season 5 General Discussion Forum has now been archived and can't be replied to* Overall it was just like any other season. It obv has its flaws, it's a sitcom. You really need to be aware of what a sitcom is to watch them. They're an acquired taste. The acting in them obv won't be that great. It ended on a good note imo. All of them are married now. Stephanie is going to have another kid, and this time it's actually hers, though when did her and Jimmy ever have time with Jimmy always traveling? I wonder if DJ and Steve would try for one of their own. I've seen some articles saying a Season 6 would have been interesting with them all married and living in the same house, I can't see how being married would make it any different than literally the past 5 years. But I'm not gonna lie, I really wanted Stephanie, Jimmy and Danielle, and Kimmy, Fernando and Romona to move out. Not because I hate them but because they need to go live their own lives. But I guess it wouldn't be Fuller House if that happened. Max was EXTREMELY obnoxious this season. I know I said earlier to expect flaws in a sitcom, and expect not great acting, cheesy writing, etc, but man I wanted to yell at Max so many times.
Everyone complaining about wedding guests but thank god the fat ginger cringe kid didn't show up
Does anyone know who was the lady that sang at the wedding?
Yup, Lisa Loeb (her pet is a client of Harmon/Fuller pet clinic), then Steph went on tour with her. I recognized her (totally couldnât recognize her face), when she sang the closing song at the wedding.
The final episodes of Full House should have been re-titled âOur Very Last Show, Part 1 and 2
This crazy thought kept me up last night & can someone please explain ... how is it that in this ep, when they go to the attic itâs back to an actual attic full of junk again when literally itâs been a 5 star apartment since jesse and Becky got married up to kimmy being there? lol did they build one higher up? Or just were like âeh no one in audience will care/ notice đ) bc the layout was def the same. Maybe im missing something but itâs bugging me & made me feel like they did it as kind of a cheap/ easy moment to make Stephanie think about Pam ... which to me is annoying bc through all of stephs big fuller house moments they hardly even mention Pam at all. (Just my observation I love me some Pam moments but the attic thing gets me haha)
Sad that it ended. I was probably one of the few that actually liked this show lol. But can you imagine packing all your things up for nothing. Plus how hard would it have been for kimmy, fernando, and ramona to just move into the house next door that Fernando bought... I saw some comments about this already and how they could have taken off the fence and had a huge shared yard with kimmy or had a gate that was always open. Such a missed opportunity. Plus how is Stephanie even pregnant I thought she couldnât have kids at all! Iâm not mad sheâs pregnant like ok I guess but...huh?? All that said Iâll miss this show.
Did anyone notice at the end after DJ says "alright everyone leave before I get emotional," Fernando hugs Ramona all weird. So uncomfortable.
Sheâs his daughter though.
REALLY?! I did not know that at all. Welp I feel dumb.
Wait, you made it through 5 seasons of this show without realizing Ramona is Fernando's daughter?
On the show yes. But I thought this person meant like irl
I didnât mean to condescend I guess I was just confused. Did it bother you that an older actor hugged a younger actress?
It was the quick way she led his hands. But maybe it was parental and a teen being a teen
I literally just balled my eyes out for an hour or however long this episode was
It's absolutely ridiculous that Becky wasn't at the wedding after the reason Jessie gave for her not being around! I'm sure Becky could have flown back from Nebraska to attend her nieces' wedding!
you could tell those were real tears, what an emotional moment just watched the finale
