"He who doesn't understand history is doomed to repeat it." Unreal jewels dropped in this episode. Is AJ doomed because of his father's persona and his grandfather's past? History suggests that was the case for Tony, he idolised his father and the fear he struck into people. Tony wants his son to see him and be proud of him the same way, powerful and strong, but is it that possible without him turning into Tony? It's a fantastic question. Does AJ really have free will? I think so, but you could argue not.
What constitutes a fidget? Speaks a thousand words. AJ drinking and getting into trouble. Boys will be boys or disability? What's normal for a teenage boy now? Even more relevant in todays age. Has traditional masculine elements been alienated so much that it now constitutes a mental disorder? Is this a good thing? Man this stuff goes deep. Tony getting ridiculed for going therapy too. Not being able to show weakness. Think this episode will be a benchmark for more to come. The psychological and existential themes covered in this episode were so interesting. Superb, absolutely superb.
