‘A Million Little Things’ Leaves Behind a Legacy of Authenticity

After an emotional five-season run on ABC, D.J. Nash’s friendship-centric drama A Million Little Things went out on a devastating, yet incredibly hopeful note. Those who’ve never seen the series may find that description painfully contradictory. But anyone who’s been along for the ride since the pilot knows that a crucial component of this show’s charm has always been its relentless, remarkable…

In the Season Five Finale of A Million Little Stories, DJ continues his conversation with actor/writer/director James Roday Rodriguez, talking about the Series Finale of A Million Little Things and James' man-crush on DJ. Or maybe it's DJ's man-crush on James. Somewhere there's a man-crush.

[amltdaily]

There are a million little reasons we’re going to miss A Million Little Things, and number one is the friend group, which the final season premiere highlights in a major way.

Everyone rallies around Gary (James Roday Rodriguez), not just when it comes to his cancer diagnosis (things are looking up by the end) — “sorry about bringing the entourage, it’s just that our friend group are very invested in each other’s lives,” he tells his doctor when they all join him for an appointment — but also after his father, Javier (Paul Rodriguez), unexpectedly passes away. Meanwhile, Anna (Erin Karpluk) gets out of prison but leaves town for a fresh start, meaning Eddie’s (David Giuntoli) single again, and Rome (Romany Malco) finds out his father Walter (Lou Beatty Jr.) has dementia.

Creator DJ Nash breaks down the premiere and teases what’s ahead.

Why the time jump of seven months? To move Maggie’s (Allison Miller) pregnancy along and also to have that “could it be Gary’s funeral?” moment?

DJ Nash: Exactly. When we left the season last, Rome had discovered information that was very important and that Gary had deliberately not wanted to share. The question that I’ve received the most in the hiatus is, is Gary gonna make it? So we wanted to do that and take our fans on a ride.

Things are looking as up as they can when it comes to Gary’s cancer by the end of the premiere, and we got that great scene with everyone at his doctor’s appointment. How indicative are both those aspects of the story you want to tell the rest of the season when it comes to Gary’s health?

Well, here’s a huge spoiler: We’re all gonna die. [Laughs] Every single one of these characters, if the series went long enough, would die. I think the question is, are we gonna see any of them pass while we’re filming it? We don’t know. That’s the thing about someone who’s suffering with depression or someone who’s dealing with cancer or someone who’s dealing with all of the traumas that this group has encountered: We just don’t know what the effects of these traumas will be. I want us to experience that journey. This season is about the guy in the group who really helped everyone pick up the pieces after Jon [Ron Livingston] died needing the group to be there for him and we will see them do that in such a beautiful way.

Look what happened with Javier. No one was expecting him to die.

You can say like, Gary, oh my gosh, I have a friend who’s sick. Oh my gosh, he’s gonna have cancer the rest of his life. And then in a moment, Javier can die, you know? I think that really is the takeaway from the premiere: All of our time here is precious, and you can’t take anything for granted.

The series began with the friend group dealing with a loss. The season premiere features another one, and there’s always the chance that Gary could die. What do you want to show when it comes how the friend group deals with struggles and loss like that now compared to back in Season 1?

I am very aware that the loss of Jon for our fans is very different than Gary. I’m also really aware that as a writing team, as a crew, as a cast, and as fans, we are all gonna mourn a loss this year, the ending of this show. So the takeaways of life being limited is this seize the day and get every drop of juice out of life message. What we’ll see this season is these friends once again reminded the way they were in the pilot, that they can’t wait for tomorrow to live differently. You have to do it today. So we’ll see a bunch of stuff that way, which kicks off in the premiere with Gary wishing he hadn’t waited to take his dad to see an incredible actor played by David Marshall Grant, one of our writers.

Maggie and Gary are having a boy. Is it too obvious that they name him Javier?

They could name him Javier. That’s entirely possible. I don’t think that’s too obvious.

Rome is rightfully concerned about his dad, but Walter kept deflecting in their final conversation in the premiere. How is his father’s health going to affect Rome?

That’s a very personal story to me and to two other writers in our writers’ room — as is the case often with the stories we tell, they’re based on real things that happened to at least one of us in the writers’ room. My father, at the end, had dementia. The scene in the premiere, the Tallulah Bankhead, we almost named our child Tallulah. That is verbatim the scene — my dad swore more at the end when he was busting me, he said, “what the f you’ve given me s for?” — from my life.

When Rome’s mom Renee died, he said, there’s nothing I needed to hear from her and there’s nothing I needed to say to her. He was in a really good place. But he realized that he couldn’t say the same of his relationship with his father, and he wanted to make sure he could, by the time his father passed away. He realizes now that that clock is ticking even faster than he thought. I will say this: The scenes between Lou Beatty Jr. and Romany Malco this season are some of the best things I’ve ever been a part of. Those two men are so talented and the effect each one has on the other is profound and I’m so in awe of what we captured on film.

Is Anna gone due to availability or the story you want to tell with Eddie this season?

It’s about the story we wanna tell. Timing has really been a problem for Eddie Saville. I think, hey, if you’re not happy in your marriage, you’re allowed to end it and then you can get another woman pregnant. And so I think he’s had these situations where he’s met people, specifically women he was dating, and there’s some asterisk that makes it very complicated. Anna is another one of those casualties. What he realizes in his relationship with Anna is for the first time he’s ending a relationship with someone that he didn’t let down in any way. As we watch this journey of Eddie going from being sort of a selfish little boy to becoming a man over the course of the series, he takes a really important step this season and has a profound end to the season as he fully embraces what it means to be responsible and accountable.

Will we see Anna again?

No, she’s wonderful and we love her. We probably could have ended her story at the end of last season with her going off [to prison], but we just wanted one more.

How’s Katherine (Grace Park) and Greta’s (Cameron Esposito) relationship going this season?

I have quite a few friends in the LGBTQ+ community and have worked with quite a few. The journey of being out and being comfortable is very different for each person — about anything, whether that’s about having cancer, whether you wanna talk about it. Personally, there’s certain parts of me that I openly share and there’s parts of me that I hold closer to the vest.

Greta is someone who was so comfortable with her sexuality and her sexual orientation from a very early age. The fact that Katherine wasn’t severed their relationship for a long time. And now as they find themselves together again and dating and loving each other, each of their comfort is different. And how does that play out if there’s, say, a corporate event that Katherine goes to and she’s allowed to bring a plus one? Is she comfortable to say Greta’s my plus one? [They’ll be] navigating that and navigating what it means to come from very different families as we’ll see both those families this season and see how the support you get from your family can affect the journey you take.

I loved Katherine and Maggie bonding. How much more will we get of those two this season?

We had never done a scene with the two of them! It’s really funny because one of the things that we did, Terrence [Coli], the showrunner, and I, is we made a list over the summer of combinations we hadn’t seen, like Maggie and Eddie in a scene like, where have you seen that? So there’s certain combinations where you go, I don’t know that we’ve seen that. So that was one that we were really excited to do.

There’s a thing that happens in that scene — it’s OK if people don’t [catch it], sometimes you wanna underwrite something and it’s better to not smack someone in the face with it and let it be subtle — as they’re looking at this child and they’re looking at the dad with this child. Katherine is going through the experience of realizing she’s no longer in a heterosexual relationship. The old school example of what a family would be, she’s not going to be. And then you have Maggie, who may not have the father of her child around. I love when we see our characters encounter similar moments, but because of their place in the world, they affect them in profoundly different ways.

Things seem steady for Regina (Christina Moses). How will this season shake that up?

Regina does something very innocently in the season that has a drastic effect on someone, and she’s never the same after. We watch her open her eyes and realize something about her own shortcomings that she, in a very profound way, is determined to compensate and make up for, and the journey of the rest of her life is never the same.

Be My Favorite - Flaming Hot Trash Watch Action

Ready for this?

Adapted from the y-novel You Are My Favorite by JittiRain this is one of those “rewrite the past to change the future.” Starring Krist (SOTUS) + Fluke Gawin (DBK, Not Me). I expect this to be low heat, full of LIES and manipulation.

12 eps of approx 45 min fresh content each, and I guess I am drinking on frigay for the next 3 damn months 

Main tropes: time travel/slip/loop, paranormal, university setting, soft romance, low heat, sunshine/tsundere with GMMTV’s heavy hand on classic Thai BL tropes, product placement, and high production values.

Trailer | MDL

I’m getting some shizz outta my system before I start putting the alcohol into it...

Story issues 

Let’s get this on the table. I have a mixed relationship with Jittirain’s stuff because unlike Mame who is trash to her characters with plot, Jittirain is trash to plot with characters. All characters (what limited characterization there is) will be obedient to the plot and act against personality the moment it is necessary for whatever insanity is required for audience manipulation. We The Watchers WILL feel jerked around by these jerks (but as this is GMMTV there will be no actual jerking). We WILL be lied to, and the characters will lie to each other FOR NO GOOD REASON. 

In addition to Be My Favorite JittiRain is behind: Vice Versa, 2gether, Fish Upon the Sky, and Theory of Love. Mmm humm. Yeah. Drinks are defiantly required. 

Actor issues: 

Krist: Who knew Krist would do a BL again? Like seriously? His career has been riddled with controversy and his skills as an actor widely challenged. Regarding the first, this is not that blog, take that discourse/cancel culture elsewhere. For the second? I will judged his acting based on the usual criteria: this BL, this role, this pairing, this script, and the fact that this is Thai style acting. Okay?

Gawin/Fluke: I will likely slip and call him Gawin because that’s what he used when he first crossed my radar. I have said this before but he looks like an ex of mine. So my baggage with him is all personal. Said ex and I are amicable, but it wigs me out sometimes. They even have a similar voice. I will try to get over this. 

Also the both SCREAM straight. I mean I don’t wanna judge insult or anything but these boys got breeder smeared all over them. 

Okay, so what are we doing here?

Well, as previously established: DRINKING.

AND

A new trash watch! 

Although there is always the (however faint) possibility it will become a praise watch. Sometimes that happens. But this is Jittirain so... I doubt it. 

Ready?

Here we go! 

Episode 1: Sake & Fear 

I have heartburn already. Or maybe that’s the extra chili I put on my noodles + booze + EXISTENTIAL DREAD. 

Kawi = loser, poor, stupid, shy, and friendless (AKA Japan’s ordinary bottom uke archetype) - he’s a downer, this is an issue with this kind of character, not likable. 

Pearmai = the sunshine faen fatale Kawi has a crush on 

Piseang = the tall handsome cute popular perfect seme, plays basketball perfectly (waves at Love O2O), is also a DJ (nash)

Most of this ep was spent establishing this dynamic and some kind of secret santa for college kids, a magic time travel snow globe, and the fact that the wrong couple got together. 

Why is there a dandelion in the snow globe? 

Is it a wishes thing? Do they have that superstition in Thailand?

A 12 year time jump is v Japanese. Which life-point is closer to Krist’s actual age? Ooo, half a bottle of sake and I’m salty af. 

Apparently Kawi still has same problems and the same haircut as he did as a fresher.

Could we please talk about this? It’s in ALL BL. Why does NO ONE change their hair as they age? My hair changes by the week. 

Meanwhile our ordinary bottom has turned into a wild imbecilic tsundere and our seme clearly likes that and I am too drunk for this. So is Kawi. 

You know what, it’s not as terrible as I thought it would be. I don’t like it but I can see the characters becoming appealing. Maybe? Hopefully? Why do I do this to myself?

I’m not a monster, I will give it a chance. 

At least no one has yet picked up a guitar.

See you next week, same Jittirain time, same Jittiran place, new bottle of sake.  

Episode 2: Nigori & Serenity 

The sake I’m drinking tonight is described on the bottle “silky & mild” which is also a legit review of Gawin’s acting. 

WAIT A MINUTE.

What is going on? 

What am I feeling? 

They’re lying on the grass talking to each other in a meaningful way. It’s cute. I am enjoying it. How appropriately collegiate. 

Is this... enjoyment?

Am I enjoying this show?

OMG I AM. 

help 

I ate booze-filled chocolates AS WELL AS SAKE. 

Maybe it’s the double dose? 

Am I becoming silky & mild?

I got a slow down. I can’t do this every week for 12 weeks in a row. I’m not in uni anymore. I might end up being a nice person if I continue down this road. Can’t have that.  

Honestly, I do like the fantasy of getting to re-live your college years as a cooler version of yourself. 

Although, frankly, I did fine with mine. 

(Oh thank fuck, asshole me is back.) 

I don’t know where Max came from but he is officially the most interesting character in this show. 

Also... does he look a bit like a bad boy bunny to anyone else? 

It isn’t actually like it, but I am getting a distinct 2gether vibes from this show. It makes it feel kinda dated for BL. What a fucking crazy thing to say. Ignore me, I’m drunk. 

OOOOO.... Nong teasing. Very nice.  

The over dramatic drunken kiss made me giggle. First time Krist has been properly kissed in a BL.

Sigh. 

What do I do? 

I’m enjoying it! 

Damn it. 

Episode 3: Tipsy Waffling 

I was out at the club, came home faintly tipsy. Frankly I feel a little unwell, so I’m not gonna drink anymore. So this is an unprecedented semi-sober trash watch. I’m not sure if I’m ready but so far this show been beating expectations, and I don’t expect a derailment until next ep so I’m feel okay about my life choices. 

Okay Gawin is good. I’ll give you that . His little moment if realization (and giving up). The “oh shit” look. 

Wait.

That’s Title! 

When did he leave Wabi Sabi and join GMMTV’s stable? 

Look I kinda enjoyed this bit, because it was a joke.

BUT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE ENDING.

Is this the beginning of the JittiRain of Doom? Or it this just good angsty story telling?

No way to know until next week.

(JittiRain of Doom - see what I did there? Aren’t I a clever little lush dragon?) 

I should go to bed now. 

I think we can safely say clouds are on the horizon and whether this is good storytelling or bad, only episode 4 will tell. 

Episode 4: It’s Happened! The Suck! 

not in a good way @heretherebedork​ said ep 4, can they call it or WHAT?! 

I’m officially calling Kwai’s pink haired Maximum hotness bestie “my café fae” and YOU can’t stop me. I love him. Or I want to be him? Or I AM him?

Difficult to know.

Checks own hair.

Not pick at at the moment. Mostly blue actually.

(I weirdly adore that blue open weave draw-string vest thing he’s rocking. Checks own closet. Wonders idly about turning a mesh laundry bag into a shirt.) 

Anygay... Café fae and I are running away together and not putting up with any of this Jittirain nonsense.

Right? 

Because this beach frolic...?  

Too cringe. Too awkward. I really don’t like all of embarrassment factor for everyone, not to mention humiliation and hazing and older kids picking on younger kids.

I’ve been done with this plot divice since SOTUS. And I’ll take it in small doses from Korea but no more Thailand. Stop it. And...

is that...

A GUITAR 

!!!

NO SINGING.

Oh, I hate this show.

Everyone listening in on the phone while he’s humiliating himself with a girl? This is fully terrible. 

I’m so uncomfortable with this whole episode. 

And yet. Secure. Because finally we are in the territory I was expecting. But ALSO I can’t bear it. 

Please make it stop.

At least Piseng is a decent human being.

And Pair. 

Screw all y’all. I’m eloping with Pair.

Wait.

What about my cafe fae? Hummmm. 

Ah! Got it. Thrupple! 

I’m not gonna lie. That was rough going. 

And I am not OK.

Although I’m digging this thrupple scheme of mine. 

Episode 5: I Am V Drunk

For those of you following the soga of ABL is a lush... 

I got my cocktail! 

Then got distracted by meeting colleagues at the bar. 

Then went for dinner and wine.

Then got another cocktail and finally made it back to the room. 

So by the time I started watching this week’s installment I was... quite drunk. 

Take this recap with a grain of salt margarita salt rim... no... not that kind of rimming, that’s just in KP, sadly... wait... what am I doing? I got distracted. This is GMMTV. Def no rimming. 

So! 

Kawi deserves his new asshole friends (stop it ABL no rimming). 

I just don’t like him. He’s too straight and whiney and homophobic. 

Could we have a romance between Pisang and Max? 

Asking for a friend me. 

Bet there would be rimming. They both seem very game. Just saying.

Different show ABL. Different show. 

Where was I? Apparently I went to the land of Bed Friends for a moment there. 

Why does anyone like Kawi? 

Max deserves better.  

Pear deserves better. 

Pisang deserves better. 

OMG!!! His utter wistful yearning over the happy gay bar. Poor baby. 

Awe don’t run away from Max. We love Max. Max is the best. You NEED a Max in your life. We all do! 

Someone described Max as “tired gay,” and I feel this keenly. 

NO SINGING. 

I DON’T LIKE WHERE THIS THREAD IS GOING. 

NO NO NO NO NO 

SKIP! Skipskipskip. 

Next week look like a classic ep 6 kiss then angst. Whatever. 

It was fine. 

This was a fine installment. 

I’m very drunk. 

Hotel all spinny. 

Hi, bed! Make me a sammitch. 

Episode 6: I Am Less Drunk Than I Should Be

I just wish this were Pisaeng’s story instead of Kawi’s. It would be a lot better. In fact, it is a lot better. Any time we get PS alone or with any other character it’s a better narrative. Any time with him and Max talking it’s the best of everything, That’s all I want on my screen.

In fact, Max is all I want. 

I love his “care bear kpop” clothes. 

This is definitely one of those shows where I don’t understand why anyone likes the central character - his friends, his love interests, his father, his audience, tumblr. 

No one should like him. He started out a loser and he’s only getting worse, and nasty to boot. 

Yes, it’s good we see him apologize, but there’s no logic behind the choices that led him to needing to make the apology in the first place! 

(No one does, honey.) 

We are heading into classic Jitiirain where are the characters are going to betray us and themselves in order to serve the narrative. 

And I’m not drunk enough for this. 

Honestly? I think Krist what is miss-cast as well. 

I’m not in the anti-Krist faction but just imagine... what if Kawi had been played by Khaotung? He has a much softer more dynamic screen presence. I think he could’ve carried even Jittirain’s patented nonsense. KT is... in fact... CUTE. 

Gawin is not an issue. (Which surprises me, since I came into this with a bias against him.) 

Because we can see PS thinks that K is cute even before the script felt the need to tell us this. 

Even when he’s being an arsehole, PS’s eyes are all soft for him. I guess some guys just are attracted to arseholes. 

Heh. 

See what I did there?

Meanwhile I hate PS’s mother! 

She = evil. 

I RECOGNIZE that balcony!

PS’s house/apartment thingy is the same as MaxNat celebrity pad in Y-Destiny. Another one for the location trackers.

That’s it, that’s all I got. 

Only one gay pun for you this evening. 

I have one job to do and I’m blowing it.

snerk

Nighty night. Don’t let the mosquitos bite leave hickeys. 

Episode 7: NO SINGING

I guess Kawi is one of those “straights” who just gets gayer the drunker he is. I know the type. 

Boozing the Kinsey Scale. 

Beer goggle queers. 

Cockeyed. 

Three sheets to the flame. 

Dick wasted. 

What else do we call them?

Oh yeah... cock tease. 

Episode 8: STOP SINGING 

Pisaeng for these last two episodes...

(singing cat never gets old, bite me) 

Good for you Pisaeng for standing up for yourself. Stop letting the straight boy jerk you around. 

(I see you in your matched couple shirts.) 

Omg I HATE Kawi just WHY IS ANYONE FRIENDS WIH HIM? 

Stop. Just this show would be so much better if he weren’t in it. 

I’m glad he lost Pisaeng and I enjoyed watching him cry. 

Even if he still made everything about himself. 

We return yet again to the fact that I love Max. Max and I are running away together. 

Pisaeng is just never Kawi’s priority, whereas the opposite is always the case. Talk about one sided love friendship relationship everything.  

Kawi the coward. 

To little too late. 

I do keep thinking about Big Eden with this series, Kawi just seems so straight no matter what he says or does or kisses.  

Poor Pisaeng he gets what he wants but it’s all out of pity, fear, and desperation. 

And all he wants is a chance to flirt? 

Is he an actual saint?

Fuck this damn show.

As always with these trash watches, I update the original post until Tumblr has a brain fry and won’t let me anymore. Then it becomes an updated repost. Life in the dumpster fire is never dull.

I just played . . .

Taking place in a small town of Gallows Creek during the 1980's, you are Forrest Nash, the new radio DJ from Chicago who assumes the role of a late night show host for the town's only radio station. While expecting a slow night of music and silly contests, things take a dark turn when you receive news of a murder which throws Forrest into the role of savior for the town.

There's a killer loose in Gallows Creek and people are in danger and Forrest Nash is their only hope of saving lives and uncovering the town's dark secret.

Okay, a lot of things to point out.

Strong Narrative - Meaning there is a LOT of dialogue between Forrest, his producer Peggy, and the numerous callers who need their help eluding a killer. Walking a jogger who lost her keys hotwire her car to escape the killer and aiding teenagers trapped in an abandoned house come up with an escape plan are just a couple of the things you'll be doing in this game.

Puzzles - The puzzles that range from easy to mid level difficulty. I actually had a pen and notebook next to me to take notes of anything that seemed important, but they were all fun. As long as you pay attention and be investigative, you should figure them out. However, be sure to save often incase you get something wrong and want to retry, you can easily reload to a previous save so you can try again.

Interactive - You are literally a radio dj. Meaning you can put on songs from a collecting of vinyl records, fulfilling song requests, and play ads. There are hidden records you can find throughout the studio as you explore to find clues to aid you in recusing the citizens of Gallows Creek.

Game Length - The game is only a few hours long. Easily beatable in an afternoon or evening. (Better to play at night for the creep factor).

Atmosphere - Perfect. It really captures the tension and atmosphere of 80's slasher films. Every time I left the booth to explore the studio, the music would change to a low tense beat, reminding me there's a killer out there.

I know Diablo 4 is just around the corner for a lot of people, but I would for this gem to be buried under the hype for Diablo 4. While I'm sure Diablo will be a great game, I also believe Killer Requency is a great game too. And I also believe great games deserve great attention.

So give this game a shot on Steam, PS5, and there is also a VR version available.
