Hello friends, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I am sorry to report that we are returning to Green Gables in a moment of absolute crisis, with no clear path forward for our poor Anne. Having already sworn off schooling on account of the contemptible Gilbert, Anne has since found herself isolated from her one and only bosom companion Diana, on account of an ill-fortuned bottle of currant wine. The hills and valleys that once seemed alive with youthful promise have turned ominous and alien; in fact, it seems more than likely that Anne shall never again enjoy a moment of peace upon this earth.
Well, at least that’s how she’d likely phrase it. In truth, I’m guessing the Currant Wine Catastrophe will be just the kick in the pants Anne needs to return to her schooling, and it’s about time too. In the meantime, I’ll be happy just to bask in the character-rich dialogue and gorgeous scenery accompanying each episode of this delightful show, certain that Lucy Maud Montgomery and Isao Takahata have us in the safest of hands. Let’s get to it!
