This is Us- Season six

[anniemae]

This is why I wanted more than that one episode with the other big three (Miguel, Beth and Toby)! Also the green egg people are definitely happier than the crockpot people

LOL we were all ready to throw out our crockpots!

I remember reading whatever company owns the company that makes crockpots has their stock just crash for a good two weeks after that.

My eye is on the crockpot everytime we use it lol

I hate the big three gaining up on Toby.

Baby Jack is beyond cute

I'm seeing a lot of talk on FB about Kate not really ever letting Toby in fully. The barrier of her siblings and the whole Big Three thing was more powerful than her marriage. Interesting take and I definitely see it. The brothers jumping into their argument was cringey. At some point your spouse has to come before the family you grew up in, but for Kate it's her kids, her mom and brothers, then Toby.

I used to use my crockpot overnight for a steel cut oatmeal recipe that I have. Now I cook it during the day just because of This Is Us.

And for others who have said this, I agree there is something off about Elijah. There is just something creepy about him to me.

I haven't watched the last three episodes...only read the recaps. So far I am very disappointed in this season. It's a huge bummer IMO

To each their own. I think it’s been amazing

Like he ends up being a celebrity stalker or something. That would be a twist!

I'm really starting to wonder if Kevin will marry Madison. We are getting so close to the end and I just don't know who else at this point would make sense to being Kevin's wife. I agree, I think something is off about Elijah. Maybe Kevin has to save Madison from him and that is the catalyst that brings them together.

I wonder if it's to do with original Jack's death? Somehow they are closer because they're all that each other had?

I did kind of get the vibe earlier on that he was kind of "fanning" on Kevin, but I hope we're imagining that something is wrong. All Madison wants is a normal life.

Hmmm... I see this, but honestly I'm not sure it's really wrong. I know tons of ppl. will disagree, but for me it's my kids, then in many ways my siblings (we are very close as my parents were divorced and we were each other's constants etc.) and then my husband and parents. I don't know I guess it just depends on the situation, but I know and feel 100% confident that my siblings and parents ALWAYS have my best interest at heart and vice versa and if I'm being honest I don't trust that as fully and completely with my DH.

I do joke that I would never want anyone to have final say of my medical care or decisions other than my siblings and parents. I mean they don't because I'm married and haven't gone out of my way to make it like that, but again if I'm being honest those are the ppl. I trust with no questions asked.

I get that it sounds odd, but it's the truth and I don't think it'd bother me to know my my dh felt the same about his family. Having said that it does bug my dh at times, especially in the beginning, but I think that's a complicated situation due to his own upbringing etc. But yes, it did used to make him feel insecure in some kind of way that I just really never understood.

I really don't know that that's even in the top 3 of their main issues though. I feel like Toby has always gotten that and while it at times felt obnoxious to him, he seemed to be ok with it because he saw it was good for Kate and didn't take anything away from him and Kate...just like Beth and Miguel. They all see it and joke, but they get it (package deal kinda thing). That was something I used to really like about Toby, because it does take a secure and understanding person to see the b8g picture, but I felt like he really used to.

It's so different for everyone, depending on how you grew up. I grew up in a very crowded house with six siblings. I've watched a few of them make horrible life decisions, but never gave my opinion or tried to intervene with them and their spouses. I love them all dearly, but I would never put their opinions above those of my husband and son. They come first in all things. I guess I just don't get the big three. I would never want my siblings in my marital business that way. Now, my bestie is another story. We tell each other everything and I value her opinion above most others.

I am the total opposite. I feel like this season has been phenomenal. The last few episodes have been some of the best writing I've ever seen on TV.

This reply got all messed up lol

Proper reply later today

I’m just happy I’m not the only one thinking something is off with elijah. Shouldn’t forget that tax evasion is how they get everyone
But seriously something is off

 

[anniemae]

I also think something is off with Elijah. My feeling is that Madison and Kevin wind up together. I don't know how, but I feel like Elijah will screw up and Kevin either catches him in a lie or Madison catches him and leans on Kevin.

I keep reading that Mandy Moore read the second to last episode script and threw up. Anyone want to guess what is up with that?

I’m wondering if that throw up moment is Miguel’s demise, which a lot of us including myself have been thinking about for a while.

Something Kevin's son said in the flash forward at the new cabin made me think they don't. It was about his dad picking up take-out because he never kept food in the house, or something like that?? I'm not sure - it was quite a while ago.

I read that about Mandy Moore and the script too. I have no idea.

It was about no food in the house as well, in general..
Randall answers something to the effect of "So Kevin".

Every man and woman are not stereotypes, of course. And life is hectic. But it was very hard for me to understand a lack of organization in that area with a wife and kids. And remember it was playfully portrayed like it was Kevin that did not organize with food in the house more long term, not in this specific stressful period- which would be completely normal.
(And Rebecca, but she could be hardly eating and drinking at this point, due to aspiration and consciousness.)

But then there is his wedding ring. Could it be Cassie and she is deployed? Could be a wife that is not there for some other reason. Such a mystery.

 

[lisaviolet]

starters, I love Little Jack. I also thought Chris Sullivan and Chrissy Metz did amazing

Someone on that writing staff relates the dynamics in marriage/relationships insanely well.
