While I liked James and Erin's kiss, I wish that we'd seen more of them actually together in the show. Even though Lisa has confirmed that they officially end up together in their thirties, it's still a little disappointing that we won't get to see it happen on screen.
I LOVE Derry girls but I definitely think it deserved so much more than it was given. I think if we had more seasons we could have really fleshed out some story lines. Like James mom, Clair moving away, Michelle’s brother and rather or not Erin’s mom finished school 😭
I’m not sure any of these plots should have been fleshed out more, it never would have been as funny or satisfying as we think it would. One of the problems with all the prequels for classic films and series’s over the past 10 years is that they answered questions that didn’t need answering. I think they ended Derry Girls while they were on top without going too deep into those questions and I think it was the right choice, like in life, we don’t always get answers to the questions we want answered.
We only saw wee bits of their lives and I like to think Granda Joe gave Gerry many hands on the shoulder during the scarier times of The Troubles that he gave at the end of season 1.
I actually liked it, I find Michelle kind of irritating but it's nice to know that he chooses James over Erin, despite how badly she treats him she still loves him dearly
I wish that we'd gotten to know Laurie, Clare's crush, more. I like to think that she and Clare reconnected later. It's a shame that none of the characters have love interests for more than one episode, with the possible exception of Sarah and Ciaran.
To be fair, it's quite true to real-life crushes, which often don't through at that age. Even more so when you consider how wildly the Derry Girls actually behave.
I choose to see it like this: Orla never seemed to get her own arcs or stories, but look a bit deeper, and she drives the narratives and usually is responsible for keeping the group together (the best example is the season 1 finale, but look through the seasons, and you will see them)
2:10 But it was important to him, but she was more important which is why he’s her lobster. :) 2:44 Whoa, bombshell! She pulls that color off so perfectly!
True, Michelle is implied to have had plenty of action off screen, and maybe Orla isn't interested in relationships, at least not at this stage in her life.
@@trinaq Michelle appears to be the only one of the main 5 who has sexual experience, but we never see any of that. We don't know whether or not Orla wants a relationship, but she's attracted to at least one of the Protestant boys in Across the Barricade.
I expected something major to be revealed towards the end of The Reunion. The episode is well-made, well-cast etc., so the revelation merely being that they had tiny tattoos is an anti-climax.
@@andrewjones575 actually in their time and in Catholicism, many considered tatoos to be a bad thing. I thought it was funny af. It's all about push and pull in this show and it was hilarious how it was an insignificant thing to us now but was very significant to them then
@@thomasarnoldcoe6527 Don’t get me wrong I liked Jerin and the signs they liked each other was definitely more obvious. But I feel that James would be a bit happier with Orla
@@officiallynats7044 How so? Why would James & Orla be more suited to each other? Why aren't he & Erin compatible? Michelle's bad reaction would've been identical.
Underratedly very romantic moment: when granda joe finds his razor under the sink and whispers 'thank you, love'. Perfection.
i cried on the spot
@@danni5218and then the song played, i bawled my eyes 😭
Yes!
“There is nothing you can’t do, love. Nothing” Aww
Gerry supporting Mary’s dream is the sweetest thing
That’s why it pisses me off that Joe is such a dick to him. Gerry absolutely ADORES his wife, the ,an is a walking green flag.
IKR?? Brought me to tears! 😭💕
@@emen_98yeah, but it is funny though, and it also mirrors how James gets treated by everyone, so I like the symmetry.
Erin: *in season one* Who owns the wee English fella?
Also Erin: *in season three* I own the wee English fella
😂underrated comment 👏👏👏👏
😅😊
Gotta love Mary telling her to stay dressed up for another moment because she knew James was on his way!
Several characters wrongly believing that Mary & Gabriel are having an affair is hilariously written & acted!
Precisely, I loved Gabriel's daughter's disgusted reaction, and Gerry's fight with Gabriel later on!
@@trinaq And Sarah being jealous of Mary!

Yes, yet people will reply claiming that DG isn't about that. To those people I say why start it if it isn't?
@@andrewjones575 You're right, a lot of shows balance romantic and platonic relationships perfectly.
@@trinaq Yes, and there's no reason that DG couldn't have.
When did she confirm this?
TRINA!!! I will now and forever comment when I see you on a video I’m watching!! You’re a queen!

Or who tf Orla's da was, or is.

James and Erin aka best ship
Orla going to prom with her Granddad is so cute.
Gerry dealing with Joe to still give his wife his unconditional support for when she wants to go back to school brings me to tears.
We only saw wee bits of their lives and I like to think Granda Joe gave Gerry many hands on the shoulder during the scarier times of The Troubles that he gave at the end of season 1.
Sheer class, sheer bliss..... This is so real and deserves everything a show can get. Nothing like this. I love you Ireland with all my heart....
Erin's hair flip as James begins to tell her how he feels..and my boy James just melts
When?
I feel like the shared love of literature and writing between Erin and Mary isn't dived into much, it's a shame really
Mary's father fighting for her even when he thought she was having an affair what a DAD
Michelle's c-blocking of Erin & James at the end is the worst thing she does.
Extremely on-brand though
It's an understandable reaction
She didn't want to lose her friend if they broke up.
I actually liked it, I find Michelle kind of irritating but it's nice to know that he chooses James over Erin, despite how badly she treats him she still loves him dearly
She loves them both really and doesn’t want to lose one or both
My fav characters are the parents. Especially Gerry cuz he is a bit more sane than the rest so....

LMAOO I REMEMBER HIM

It's disappointing that Orla never has a major role in a storyline.
She's kind of the wacky sidekick, but she had a pretty important part in the first scene of the last episode 🙂
@@rosequartz4102 I expected Erin & Orla's 18th birthday party to be spectacular, so it's disappointing that not much happens.
For me she was. I was always pay attention to her reactions to the others dialogue. 😀😀😀😀
As much as I love Orla and agree with this statement, I also just love watching her in the background, doing her Orla things.
I choose to see it like this:
Orla never seemed to get her own arcs or stories, but look a bit deeper, and she drives the narratives and usually is responsible for keeping the group together (the best example is the season 1 finale, but look through the seasons, and you will see them)
I'm just glad my wee lessbian finally got her wee kiss! ❤️❤️❤️
2:10 But it was important to him, but she was more important which is why he’s her lobster. :)
2:44 Whoa, bombshell! She pulls that color off so perfectly!
This show was absolutely fantastic, with the added bonus of the best accent in the world ❤
🤣 lol michelle scared the actual eff out of me 🤣
4:38 🥺💕
Im glad they didnt couple up the kids. They're kids! They've a got a whole life to find each other.
The last episode shows how much they like each other, the way they look at each other’s eyes while James is filming Erin is so lovely
I want a prequel series soooooo bad
0:34 AAAAYE 👹
Why does Erin assume that John Paul will be picking her up? He doesn't say he will & he seems uninterested in her.
Maybe we're supposed to assume they had another interaction offscreen.
She asks him to come to the prime and he reluctantly agrees, but bails.
And Erin is delusional
It's disappointing that none of the characters have more than one kiss.

James got Katya as well as Erin. Granted it was her kissing him and he wasn’t really returning it

Seconded, I half expected them to reveal that either Mary or Sarah had kissed Janette's future husband, but the tattoo reveal was arguably funnier.
@@trinaq The tiny tattoos are insignificant. From the way the characters talk & behave, I was expecting a far bigger revelation.
That's the joke!
@@SirTed-c7g It's not a good joke. It starts looking like it'll be one of the best DG eps, but turns out to be one of the least good.

You blew it Dylan.. that was weak. You get one chance to kiss Saoirse, scripted or not, YOU MAKE IT COUNT!
What is the song used at the end in this video?
Unpopular opinion: I ship Orla and James
We never see them being attracted to each other.
I felt really bad for the Jorla Shippers when the show went more in the Jerin direction
@@thomasarnoldcoe6527 Don’t get me wrong I liked Jerin and the signs they liked each other was definitely more obvious. But I feel that James would be a bit happier with Orla
@@officiallynats7044 How so? Why would James & Orla be more suited to each other? Why aren't he & Erin compatible? Michelle's bad reaction would've been identical.
Honestly Orla and James are very sibling-like, it's cute. I personally feel like Orla is perhaps asexual.
James and Orla are better together, You see them stealing looks at each other all the time.
not at all, they look like big brother and little sister
I think you're the only one that sees that.
They have sibling vibes girl don’t confuse them /j
They have to stick a bloody gay story into everything !!
gay people exist, justin.
around 11% of the UK population identify as not straight. it makes perfect sense actually
