Just when I think, "OK, the *next* episode is going to just be more of the same," I watch it and get so involved again. Loss is a heavy theme in this one, as most of the people being filmed are starting to lose their parents at this point in their lives, but also loss of jobs and relationships. But in the midst of all this, new and exciting things are happening too. In particular I found myself delighted by Neil and Bruce's stories -- not only because they finally reached some goals they'd set for themselves earlier on, but also because I learned they'd become very good friends thanks to their participation in this documentary. That warmed my heart so much I had to pause the movie and relay this information to my husband, despite the fact that he hasn't been watching along with me and really doesn't know who any of these people are. Overall, such a great entry in the series.
