Anne (CBC series), season 3, episode 10 - The Better Feeling of My Heart review
It's the last episode! One more recap/review. While the season isn't going to air on Netflix until January, it aired the finale episode yesterday on CBC. And sadly, it really is the last episode of the series.
If you haven't heard, CBC and Netflix decided not to continue their partnership for creating content. I'm not sure how what parts of CBC and what parts of Netflix contributed to the show's production, though I think CBC wanted to do the series but needed the Netflix money to be able to achieve such high production quality on Anne. And then today, it was announced that Anne with an E has been cancelled. =O
Netflix loves to cancel after three seasons, but maybe a feature film finale? Please?
So, what about the better feeling of my heart?…
Anne (CBC series), season 3, episode 9 - A Dense and Frightful Darkness review
A remarkable number of things happened this episode, with only one more left before the season finale!
And it feels like a rather appropriate title for the episode.
Time for the penultimate season 3 review/recap!

So there are several main threads this episode: Ka'kwet and the residential school; Anne and Gilbert's responses to what they think relationship is; and Sebastian and Hazel's relationship.
Anne is encouraged by Marilla to make her feelings to Gilbert clear, but it seems fate thwarts her at every turn. She arrives at Gilbert's house when he's away, and the note she leaves gets progressively and unwittingly destroyed, so he never receives it. She's away for two days to help Ka'kwet, so even Diana's increasingly delaye…
Anne (CBC series), season 3, episode 8 - Great and Sudden Change review
Interesting fact alert! The first season's episode titles are quotes taken from Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Bronte). Given Anne's attachment to the book and its recurrence (like at Josephine's party) in the second season, I made the assumption that the second season's titles were also taken from the same book. It turns out the second season episode title quotes are from Middlemarch (by George Eliot)! And the third season's episode titles are quotations from Frankenstein (by Mary Shelley), which Jerry is seen reading. All three books are by female writers, so I wonder if the fourth season will also take episode title quotes from another female writer?
Also, I watched Frankie Drake Mysteries on Monday, and the actress who plays Josephine appears as…
Anne (CBC series), season 3, episode 7 - A Strong Effort of the Spirit of Good review
I can't believe it - it's episode seven, which means there's only three episodes left after this one! But as we've seen with previous seasons, three episodes can certainly pack in a lot. And there's quite a few plots that need to be resolved before the end of the season, especially after this episode.
As wont to say, ONWARD! Thar be spoilers below-eth!

This episode focuses strongly on the theme of fairness. And thematically, it does directly follow what happened in the The Summit of My Desires in terms of fairness to women. However, it looks also being fair to peers and to the community as a whole, within a family dynamic, within a relationship, and its effects, including the consequences, on others.
So, what was Anne doing at the end of…
Anne (CBC series), season 3, episode 6 - The Summit of My Desires review
Hahaha, after a big catch-up, I think I'm back on track this week? And wow, what a roller coaster of an episode.
There's a lot of hopes in the air, but a lot that drop very quickly back down to earth in this episode.
Spoilers ahead!

So it's county fair time and everyone wants to put up their best front: Marilla wants to defend her plum puff winning streak, while Matthew is hoping to get a prize with his very large radish (it's honestly adorable how Matthew puts in so much effort to look his best - he just keeps combing his hair until it's all nice and tidy!) and Anne wants to win making a cake she learned from Mary. But since the county fair is also an opportunity to meet people from out of town, Josie's mother wants to make sure her dau…
