The Fosters Season 1-2 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

The Fosters Season 1-2 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)



Premieres on ABC family on June 03, 2013


The Fosters is a compelling, one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. Stef Foster (Teri Polo), a dedicated police officer, and her partner Lena Adams (Sherri Saum), a school Vice Principal, have built a close-knit, loving family with Stef's biological son from a previous marriage, Brandon (David Lambert), and their adopted twins, Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) and Jesus (Jake T. Austin). Their lives are disrupted in unexpected ways when Lena meets Callie (Maia Mitchell), a hardened teen with an abusive past who has spent her life in and out of foster homes. Lena and Stef warily welcome Callie into their home thinking it's just for a few weeks, until a more permanent placement can be found.

Callie is quick to observe that the Fosters are an atypical family, and her blunt commentary hits a nerve with Jesus and Mariana who are struggling with their own identities. The twins have the opportunity to meet their birth mother, but they aren't sure if they are emotionally ready, or if they want to share the experience with their adoptive moms. Callie also discovers that Mariana is harboring a secret that could land her in serious trouble.

Brandon, a talented musician with a kind soul, lends Callie a hand in navigating the classrooms and social scene at the Fosters' high school, Anchor Beach Community Charter School. He's faced with a tough decision when Callie decides to ditch school to reconnect with someone from her past. What happens next will determine if Stef and Lena made the right choice in taking a chance on Callie, and whether they have room in their home - and their hearts - for one more.

From executive producer Jennifer Lopez, and created by Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige, who will also serve as writers and executive producers, The Fosters stars Teri Polo, Sherri Saum, Jake T. Austin, Hayden Byerly, David Lambert, newcomer Maia Mitchell, Danny Nucci and Cierra Ramirez. Joanna Johnson, Elaine Goldsmith Thomas, Benny Medina and Greg Gugliotta will also serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Nuyorican Productions, Inc., and Prodco, Inc.

1x01 Pilot

Stef asking her son about condoms was amusing especially when she said it's her job to protect and serve and what a great place for a school on the sea front, Callie rescuing Jude was risky but glad she wasn't punished for it

Ok i try my best not to be judgemental but i like the show the first episode was good but glad jude turned out be her brother not a bad guy which was a nice surprise. Wow talk about all potential storyline they mentioned in first episode.

I like Callie but i just felt the episode was way too rushed because ABC family has a habit throwing us into new series and we have figure out what's going on but trailer above tell us the highlights of first episode.

History of ABC Family shows
1) Secret life of american teenager ( Dealing with teen pregancy)
2) Lincoln Height ( Dealing with black family )
3) Make it or break it ( Dealing teen gymnastics/teen sport )
4)Nine lives of Chole King ( ABC Family attempt at a sci-fi show)
5)Switch at Birth (Dealing with Deaf kids)
6) The Fosters ( Dealing with lesbian couple who are foster carer )

I think they covered most teen issues so where can they go ? .

Consequently

Wow this is so ridiculous i mean the drug search and get caught is one thing but blame it on Callie was wrong but than not having the guts own up to selling drug and letting you brother take the fall was rather annoying.    .

I am not surprised Brandon girlfriend is jealous of Callie because she can see he likes her i hope they don't hook up because than it's just too predictable.

1x02 Consequently

Jesus stopping his medication to cover for his twin sister, Mariana was nice but selling her brothers pills was crazy as one of their mothers is a cop and blaming the new girl Callie was cruel but they way Callie made Mariana fell guilty was great

Yes but she still let her brother take the fall .

Good on Jesus kissing that girl but blaming the medication was amusing.

Looks like Mariana's best friend, Lexi also has a thing for Jesus so I can imagine that relationship blooming

Yes now we just need to find Mariana a boyfriend than we can get this series going.

I just have feeling Callie will always be the scape goat when something goes wrong in the family.

This has now been added to the flash site

1x03 Hostile Acts

Mike suggesting that Brandon come live with him came a bad time considering Brandon was lumbered with having a cold shower but letting him choose was a smart move as if it doesn't work out he only has himself to blame and we now know who read the journal

Yes but she should kept it in a drawer instead leaving it on the desk and i feeling Liam is their father ?.

Brandon has a tough decision choosing between his mother and father but i like that father gave him time to think about it but in the end it does seem like he chose his mother . I am guessing the reason he would stay mother would be because if he went live with his father the actor could be written out of the show since show revolves around foster home.

1x04 Quinceanera

Brandon's girlfriend or should I say ex is one nasty and possessive piece of work threatening to tell what she read in the journal

Well it's a good thing he dumped her she only got herself to blame

The Morning After

Well Zeus getting a women to buy him the morning after pill was unfortunate since his mother caught him and forced to tell them his girlfriend might be pregnant but glad she was able to take it.

Jude nail polish situation was interesting

TOP

1x05 The Morning After

Jude being bullied at school for wearing nail polish was a little predictable and Jesus and Lexi should of thought about contraceptive before getting hot and heavy but what rotten luck that Stef was at the same chemist and Callie explanation why her and Brandon aren't a good fit made sense

Well Callie told him not to wear it and he didn't listen but the advice he got might be different if he had a man in his life it's clear he look up to her sister and wants to be like her but certain things really need to be explained to a young boy .

Reply 23#23 bala's post

Because he ignored Callie that's why it was predictable but Lena did a good job of explaining what he does at home is not the same as outside

TOP

Reply 24#24 codebreaker's post

Yes she did a good job of explaining it even through i don't think he understood what she trying to say to him but having his friend also wear nail polish was a nice thing for other boy to do.

Saturday

Well we finally meet Liam who was rather scary but i can't believe she risk it knowing what he was like and now the question is what will she do with one of her foster mother a cop the solution should be simple.

TOP

1x06 Saturday

I had a feeling Stef's father, Frank would crash the family dinner party with his conservative views and trust Mike to show up late to take Brandon to his audition
