Anne: An Inward Treasure Born Books Included

May 13, 2017 9:16 AM - Season 1, Episode 4

A minister's advice prompts Marilla to question her choices. When tragedy strikes, Anne's intellect saves lives--and her sullied reputation.

The World Goes Pop recap - "In the last episode, Anne decided not to return to school after all of the bullying she had to endure. We open up the episode with Anne living in her imagination while Matthew and Marilla watching on with concern."

Huh. The fire scene was unnecessary, and I don't like the characterization of Ruby. I'm hoping this doesn't displace the Barry child saving. And where's the raspberry cordial?

Still though, it's all very explicit in Anne's injustice of not being the equal to a boy.

The actor playing Matthew reminds me a lot of Tom Baker, and the nose thing accentuated that.

Yeah, I also don't like how they're handling Ruby and found the fire scene unnecessary. But this was one of the less bad episodes other than that.

This is where Mrs.Mogur noped out, asking "Is everyone on Prince Edward Island an asshole?". As a native Islander, I said "Yeah, they're all pretty much like me."
