| The Wonder Years (2021) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: "Goose Grease" is a mostly lighthearted episode about Dean, his father and grandfather being quarantined at home after contracting chicken pox. Eventually Dean gets feverish and delirious but ends up being fine after getting antibiotics. They then get a call that Bruce has been injured in Vietnam, and the episode ends. | |

| The Wonder Years (2021) / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: In "Takeover Spirit", Dean is haunted by the ghost of a parishioner at church after he prays for something to interrupt the church service and she dies immediately after. After people tell him that he must make amends, he visits her grave and leaves flowers, and thus meets her granddaughter, who tells him not to feel so bad because she'd known all along that her grandmother was dying and she's just glad that the old woman lasted as long as she did. | |

| The Wonder Years (2021) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The series alludes to some of the realities of life for black people in 1960's Alabama, like Grandaddy Clisby only shopping at stores with black clerks (because the ones with white clerks follow him around to make sure he can pay) and having to carry all his cash around in his pockets because he can't get a bank account. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: In "The Takeover Spirit", Dean is bored at church and prays for something to happen that will end the service early. His Imagine Spot has the baptismal pool flooding, but what really happens is that one of the choir singers, Mrs. Henderson, faints and later dies. Dean spends the rest of the episode overcome with guilt over "killing" Mrs. Henderson. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Grandaddy Clisby is a proud and stubborn old man who delights in aggravating his son and daughter-in-law, but he will readily abandon whatever principled stance he's taking if the consequences harm his beloved grandson Dean. He finally gives up his driver's license after getting into a minor accident with Dean in the car, and he agrees to forgo his usual distrust of modern medicine after Dean ends up in the hospital because his folk remedies for chicken pox give Dean a fever. | |

Connected All Along: "Love & War" has Bruce reveal what happened to him in Vietnam: He and his friend Brian were pulling injured soldiers to safety during which Bruce was shot in the arm and Brian was killed, and Bruce was affected by Survivor's Guilt over not being able to do more. But the real shocker is the end where Bruce shows Dean the picture Brian kept on him... one of him and his sister Gwendolyn, more commonly known as Winnie, meaning that the show is set in the same universe as the old series and not just a remake. | |
