As a dedicated fan and avid gamer of “All American,” I have eagerly watched every season, feeling deeply connected to the characters’ journeys and the highs and lows they face. The sixth season finale, “I Do (Part II),” was a bittersweet experience for me as it brought Spencer and Olivia‘s long-awaited wedding day to life.
I cannot express enough how disappointing it was for me as a fan when All American tried to create hurdles for Spencer and Olivia’s wedding, making them doubt if they would make it to the altar. However, seeing these obstacles in the way of an inevitable ceremony only added frustration and unnecessary difficulty to the situation.
In the sixth season, Olivia and Spencer’s long-awaited wedding takes place, showcasing Crenshaw’s deep affection for Spencer. After a year filled with uncertainty about Spencer’s football career and their relationship, the two-part finale “I Do” grants Spencer his heart’s desire.
Despite losing their original venue, Spencer draws inspiration from their past connection and decides to hold their wedding at his childhood home, where he ensures an enjoyable ceremony for himself and Olivia. However, it is their friends and family who organize a surprise reception for Spencer and Olivia, offering them the opportunity for a first dance as spouses and various special moments dedicated to celebrating the couple.
I must admit, it’s not just Olivia and Spencer who ended the season on a triumphant note. Laura made a decisive move by deciding it was time for her to leave her old house, thereby resolving Jordan and Layla’s ongoing dispute about finding a new place to call home. And as for Coop, his acceptance into two law schools at the season’s end left us hanging on the edge of our seats, wondering if he would choose to stay at GAU or embark on a new journey to Yale.
Although the season finale is generally engaging, it disappoints slightly as Jaymee and AJ’s absence is felt once more during the wedding scene. In contrast, Asher’s role is minimal, despite his personal and professional lives being established. With no intriguing plot points attached to him, Asher is relegated to the background, making a fleeting appearance when required but never becoming the focus of the episode.
Patience finds herself in a comparable predicament. In this episode of “All American,” her presence is felt, but her role is limited, mainly celebrating Coop’s achievements in law school acceptances. It remains unclear if Patience intends to stay in New York City or go back to California. With the cast changes for “All American’s” seventh season still up in the air, this episode doesn’t provide any clarity on their future plans. Instead, we are left in suspense, waiting until season seven to find out what happens next for both characters.
Reflecting on the past, Olivia ponders over the various hurdles that kept her and Spencer apart. In hindsight, she now questions her actions during season one and the love triangle between herself, Spencer, and Layla that unfolded.
It doesn’t make sense for Layla to apologize to Olivia in the context of the show for being an impediment to Olivia and Spencer’s relationship, and it’s even less clear why Olivia would reflect on those past events as if they were insignificant.
In the first season, Spencer and Olivia share a deep bond, but at the same time, Spencer harbors romantic feelings for Layla. He makes efforts to court her. However, including the scene where Layla apologizes to Olivia for dating Spencer feels unnecessary and only adds confusion to the episode’s message that Spencer and Olivia have faced numerous challenges on their path to marriage.
Regarding potential new contenders for the “All American” cast’s next generation, Deion and Amina seem to be strong candidates. However, they don’t appear often enough and have limited development, making it challenging for them to take on leading roles in an ongoing series. Therefore, introducing a fresh batch of teenage characters might be a better option for “All American,” especially if Jordan and Layla continue in the upcoming season. One new character could potentially fill the role of Crenshaw’s QB coaching, as part of Jordan’s narrative.
The character of Jordan is left with an unresolved question at the end of the season – who is this uncle he’s never met? This late addition to the plot doesn’t add significance to the narrative for Jordan and Layla, as they are not major players in the storyline of season seven.
To bid farewell to Spencer, “I Do (Part II)” beautifully concludes his story, enabling him to achieve all his goals, marry the woman he loves, and gain respect from his community. Throughout his journey in “All American,” Spencer experienced both triumphs and challenges, as well as love and heartache. However, his unwavering resolve and compassionate nature have made him an indispensable character since the show’s start.
Regardless of how the story unfolds for “All American” going forward, Spencer James will forever hold a significant place in our hearts as one of the most compassionate characters in the show. The writers wisely granted him an heartwarming conclusion.
