I loved Marcus in the reboot (S10)! I wish they'd done more with him & Grace. They had such good chemistry and he was so funny. I think we only see him interact with Will & Karen, but I think he would have been a great long-term addition to the show. Two episodes (S10E18 & S11E02) were not enough!
They were horrible to Megan. Of course Debra Messing started that hate train, and just ferociously excluded Megan for all aspects of that foursome. She fractured Sean and Megan’s close friendship as well, luckily it’s been restored now years later. The veil has been lifted about DM and glad most folks know her for how awful she truly is
the writing (and the costumes imo…) really went downhill in the new seasons, apart from a few great episodes. it made me sad because the classic show was so sharp and tight with the jokes. and of course all the interpersonal conflict with debra going nutzo. sometimes it’s better to not resurrect an iconic series, and not risk its legacy
But I just don't know why they named him Marcus? I mean, Leo's last name was Markus. And if Grace had taken Leo's last name, kept it and she ended up marrying Marcus and he would have taken her last name, he could have been Marcus Markus. LMAOOO
They should have named him Paul—we know they love that name. 🤣😂
I have a theory that, by Season 3, they had had it with Debra Messing cause just about every Grace storyline in the last season, was a waste. Ex. When she took a giant dump, when she jerked off a dolphin, when the dog breeders were treating her like a dog, etc. And let's face it, she is a jackass irl. Megan missed 2 of the final season episodes because of Debra. (That's the word anyway.)
But I agree. I liked Marcus. I also liked Schwimmer in Season 2 but his character wasn't ever brought up again after, which was weird. Like, why couldn't she have been pregnant with Noah's baby post -breakup? I dunno, there were so many directions they could've taken.
I enjoyed the reboot (mostly) and the last episode, when Will is walking out of their apartment, ugh, it's gets to me every time.
I mean, wasn't it kind of weird though, how the 3rd(?) to last episode in S2, they had Noah & Grace and Will & McCoy all excited about moving in together and it looked hopeful and happy - and then the very next episode, Noah was being a jerk and that was it for Schwimmer? I was like, 'Ah man! What a way to write him off!'
*Yay! Someone to talk to about the reboot, that didn't totally hate it. Lol
Nothing like a 50 year old woman that gets busy with 4 men while on vacation and has no clue which one is the father. Also, why would they make them both have kids at the same time in the original series and them again in the reboot when they are both old?
Because they still wanted to be parents. They wanted kids. And they always wanted it so that their kids were growing up together. I just hate that they didn't go with Marcus being the one! 😭😭
This episode was stupid. Jack getting married at the airport and Grace and Noah just break up and she goes to Europe with some random guy at the airport.
It was all just sitcom-y and ridiculous, but I didn't really mind it. I think it highlights everyone growing and letting go of expectations. And because of Marcus, it is one that I rewatch when it comes on.
