Riley: Well, what about the others before him?įarkle: I don’t think they were named Minkus.įarkle: I don’t know. They are in the hallway when his friends draw the story out of him.įarkle: My great-grandfather left Denmark and came to America right after World War II.įarkle: I think he was the only one left. As his friends grow more excited as they discover their past (and Riley comes to term with being “just American”), Farkle withdraws, grows silent, until his friends notice. You sense his genuine curiosity and desire to learn, which has grown from his youthful obnoxiousness to a mature inner-motivation that is a delight for me to see (speaking as a mom). While Riley and Maya take the assignment lightly, Farkle defers presenting his findings at first because he wants to dig deeper. In this episode of Girl Meets World, the kids are assigned the task of telling their story, of discovering their family history. I will include the script from certain scenes in each, and consider them closely. Warning: this post contains spoilers for both shows, so if you haven’t watched as far as Girl Meets World season 3 episode 10 (“Girl Meets the Great Lady of New York”) or Supergirl season 1 episode 11 (“Strange Visitor from Another Planet”), consider yourself warned. There were two scenes in particular that spoke of loss, and I found myself comparing the two scenes side by side, asking myself why one resonated with me more strongly than the other. I recently watched, back to back, an episode of Supergirl and one of Girl Meets World.
