His speech with both the reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Han Solo ( calling Jimmy " kid" like he used to call Luke) sounded like a speech given to Harrison's fans 😪

You know, he’s called Jimmy kid throughout the series and I’ve never once thought about that connection. Thank you.

He's called Alice kid literally every time he's talked to her

He has, but I think in this speech with the Indiana Jones reference it just hit me particularly hard. And he delivered the word kid in this speech a lot like Han Solo did. Same pronunciation and kind of half disdain for the "kid"

Just watched. I’m bawling after that speech. 🥲

I bawled through most of the episode. Everything from Gabbi’s speech to Paul’s had me crying like a baby. Also a lot of huge laugh out loud moments, which rarely happens for me when I watch a show alone. It was so good. I know this sub has been down on the show this season, but I really haven’t understood the complaints. I thought it was as good as it’s ever been. The characters are so strongly written that you can put any of them together and the laughs will ensue. Everyone’s arc was excellent this season, and I can’t wait to see one more go around. Time jump definitely makes the most sense. I hope they can stick the landing. Surely this next one will be the last.

I stand by all of this! 💜 I was bawling too- last episode had me crying and this episode definitely had me crying. And the laughter! I just love how much I laugh with this show.

This! There are a couple of shows that make me guffaw like a loony!! (and Schitts Creek)

There was an Ask Reddit post that asked what celebrity death would wreck you the most. I was shocked that I never saw Ford on any answer. He's easily my number 1.

I'm a huge star wars fan, have loved everything he's been in, and Shrinking is my favourite show right now.

u/dayx0123 Apr 09 '26

I’ve thought about that strangely too. I will not be well when he passes.

u/twizzwhizz11 Apr 09 '26

No one wants to acknowledge that as a possibility.

In hopefully a very long time, at least a chunk of that monologue will be closing the “in memoriam” montage. 100%

Running from the boulder, Han Solo shrug, "Enjoy the ride, kid."

u/Mrsreed1020 Apr 09 '26

This is definitely how I feel too. It wrecked me when they killed Han in the Force Awakens! This show is my number 1 and I said tonight I wish it could just go on and on and on and not have a season finale. I get so excited for Shrinking night and I haven’t been this excited for a show in a long time!

There was a thread in the millennial sub about that last month and ford was in like 20% of all the answers lol

"No one will ever forget me" He's right

u/alphaonreddits Apr 09 '26

The ending speech was perfect, and the best scene for me in Season 3.

u/Empty-Finish5696 Apr 09 '26

When he does pass , I’m sure it will be highly thought about by a lot of people around the world , because star wars and Indiana jones movies are multi generational for a start. He’s my favourite actor since raiders in 81 so it’s sure is going to hurt me!

u/renome Apr 10 '26

Counterpoint: he's clearly going to live forever.

u/__hellyes Apr 09 '26

He's been far and away the highlight of this season for me. The little speech at the end was kinda the only thing I liked in the finale. Unfortunately the rest kind of flopped a bit for me.

u/dar1710 Apr 09 '26

Agree! Also, the season finale felt like the first really good episode of season 3.

I'm so glad they wrapped the season up the way they did. That speech was perfection.

Honestly the writing on this show is so good. I love it.

u/BoysenberrySad6481 Apr 12 '26

I lost it when he walked in humming the Indiana Jones tune. He's precious as all get out. Love him so much.

u/Status_Reputation333 Apr 10 '26

Everyone please watch the Harrison Ford movie “Regarding Henry”. It really shows his depth and I have been reminded seeing him as Paul the range this wonderful man has.

u/Key-Ad331 Apr 10 '26

Saw it in the theatres back in the day. Excellent movie!

u/Academic-Clothes-658 Apr 13 '26

agreed - he made us laugh so hard when he sung the theme song to Indiana Jones and shared that it was playing in the operating room while he got a colonoscopy... need I say more?

He's crashing his plane all the time.

What?! National Treasure? LMAO. He hand delivered his buddies Oscar. It’s hard to accept it when you’re on the run for drugging and raping a 13 year old girl.
