I don't know! I find myself more generous in my appraisal of this show than it maybe deserves! Take my opinion with a grain of salt!

I always take others' opinions with a grain of salt since, well, they are subjective.

For me, I see the connections; I just don't see them as strong or, well, properly spun. The show failed to hook me on its themes of family, and to me, it utterly failed in its implementation, so that very strongly relates to why this moment is more of a spark in a sea of nothing for me.

I get why you like this moment and don't see issues with it. For me, everything connected to it just drags it down by association sadly, which honestly just makes it more frustrating
