Wasn't MGG in a movie with this same plot?

This is the discussion post for Episode 8x06 - "The Apprenticeship". Watch out for SPOILERS in the comments.

Man, Shaggy has aged. Really like the episode, but the ending was too hokey for me. Beyond predictable, and really? Reid just shows up for the game? No practice? No intro to the rest of the team?

THIS. I loved the case, but the bookends, just. *twitch*

I wonder if anyone else caught an intriguing bit of potential foreshadowing in Reid's comment that there comes a time when the student no longer needs the teacher; could friction with Blake be in the offing?

It was cliché and a tiny part of me wanted for him to miss it, just to make it more believable, but then they were laughing at him, and the show is pretty dark, so I found myself rooting for him to success and nearly jumped with joy when he did ;)

I think it was more with the happy vibes I get every time while watching the gang together doing some pretty normal, happy stuff. I think I can stomach the cheesiness of the last scene, because it showed me what I love about this show. It's the only one I actually get this feeling about the whole gang. They are one big family. It's the first show i watch without shipping anyone *gasp* I always ship someone (ok I'm a tiny Morgan/Garcia but it was way back) and a first show i care for all main characters equally and not off-handedly. I enjoy every interaction between the team members no matter the combinations. I love this show :)

oops, got a bit carried away with my rambling...
