Ouran High School Host Club/Fridge

• In Ouran High School Host Club, I never realized the symbolism present in the last episode until my second viewing. Kaoru had been calling their relationship to a make-believe family that would one day have to be broken, comparing it to Cinderella's coach, that was only a pumpkin temporarily turned into one and would have to return to being a pumpkin once the clock struck midnight. In the last episode, Hikaru falls off the carriage and into a pumpkin field (not very discreet, but I am slow), showing how the 'clock has finally struck midnight.' But then later, when Haruhi has taken off her wig (she was pretending to be a guy pretending to be a girl, possibly how she actually felt) and is just herself, and she too falls off the carriage (their make-believe relationship) but Tamaki hugs her anyway.
• Yasuchika's insistence that Hunny is an alien is probably where the school newspaper got their alien story.
• Renge's crazy movie is even funnier once you realize that except for a few details she was completely right. Haruhi was bullied because she was poor. Hunny is a lot more powerful than he seems. Mori is so supportive of Hunny that he'll go to a different college to help him. Hikaru and Kaoru have to choose between their brotherly devotion and their feelings towards Haruhi with Kaoru being the more mature one. Tamaki is lonely with family strife behind his hyperactive mask. The only one she didn't "re-cast" was Kyoya because she already identified him as having a nice side.
  • Don't forget that Tamaki really is a lonely prince, having a deep attachment to his Mother and suddenly being torn away from her. The twins were spot on too. They freak out when their twin is hurt because they feel completed together and lost when separated. Jeez... In retrospect, it's strangely accurate. Foreshadowing much?
    • With the one exception of the basketball, that was just random.
