This Is Us- Season two

[KristiMc]

I loved tonight’s episode!

 

[AustinTink]

I ugly cried when Rebecca was talking to baby Randall and Tess. Great episode all around. Interesting about the Facebook hook up.

 

[Southernmiss]

Interesting how Rebecca's personality was closer to 'young Rebecca'. And she was laughing and talking to Beth and Randall more like herself.

Wonder what happens with her and Miguel.

Liked the young Pearsons and trick or treat night. Sad Randall had the encounter with the neighbors that he did.

Sweet what Kevin did for Kate at the haunted house. Kevin and Jack were always protecting her from being hurt.

I am drawing a blank, did they say what Toby does for work?

Anyone?? I'd also like to know.

 

[AustinTink]

Anyone?? I'd also like to know.

I looked it up and the actor that plays him said this in an interview...
"He's an IT guy," Sullivan said. "There's one line about it, in like, Episode 4. So yeah. He specializes in technology and computers."

 

[AustinTink]

I didn't realize the actor who plays Toby wears a fat suit! Mind Blown.

I just started watching “ Stranger Things” and he is in the first episode. I didn’t recognize hin as first as he is thinner. It was his voice that clued me in.

Plus, when Kate visits him at work you see him doing IT stuff.

After not loving the first few episodes this season I am officially back to watching episodes while holding my breath LOL

what another a-maz-ing episode.

I have said that I don’t tear up much in these episodes but wow, Randall in the fan store had me blurry eyed. How lucky he talked to that man. His saying that children tell you who you are hit me right in the heart. To me, it seemed like Randall crying wasn’t necessary scripted..his excuse me just seemed real instead of a line. I LOL’d at a baby almost being named after him. That clerk was the perfect person at the perfect time.

Kevin seemed like a douche when he tried to talk the director into letting him read for the part instead of his friend. Glad he was so sternly turned down.

Kate, Kate...interesting night for her. Not sure what to say about it now.

The part that made me laugh hardest was Jack saying he looked like Rhoda with a mustache without his Cher. Hilarious.

When Zeke (Kevin’s roommate) first comes home he said he was cast in the new Kevin Spacey film..that did not age well lol

What else, what else? Oh yeah BOOto the Larson’s telling Randall about Kyle. Butt out!

Kevin didn’t just seem like a douche he WAS a douche. The assumption that this guy would want him to read for him (after it had been cast, no less) because he was prettier than his friend was sheer arrogance. That he would do that to his friend was absolutely disgusting.

Kate figured out that guy was married before she took him home but slept with him anyway. Again, disgusting.

I know that the show was trying to show you sometimes do stupid things in your youth but I believe you develop your moral core long before you’re grown. Neither seemed particularly bothered let alone felt bad for what they did. This episode made any empathy I had for those two characters vanish. They were supposed to be 26ish, they certainly knew better.

As soon as FB was brought up I knew that’s how Rebecca was going to end up hooking up with Miguel.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Loved it, as usual! I watched first thing this morning and am unexpectedly off today, so I have it playing again already.

Kevin is such a character of opposites - I hated him so much when he was trying to steal his roommate's job, and I loved him so much when he gave up his candy to make his sister happy (even though he was too young to know those deals backfire spectacularly on every other show. )

I was psyched to learn more about when Tess was born, and especially happy to find out that Rebecca and Miguel didn't get together right after Jack's death. That makes me like him better.

I agree the Larsons suck! I get that Rebecca wanted to show Randall he'd be OK if he deviated from the plan, but really, that house? He actually had legitimate reasons for skipping them.

The hardware store scene was brilliant!!

 

[ENJDisneyFan]

OMG, Tess was named after a ceiling fan!!

 

[SC Minnie]

Tess was born 8 years after Jack died, did anyone else notice Rebecca was still wearing her wedding ring? At first I thought she was already with Miguel until the end and the Facebook message.

Kevin and Kate making terrible choices... I loved it. This is why this show draws us in. They are not perfect. They do stupid things, just like we all do at times. I look back and think about my choices and the things I said when I was younger, man was I dumb! But as humans we evolve and grow, and maybe not learn immediately how bone-headed we are, but we do look back and edit ourselves. It was nice to start putting the puzzle of Miguel and Rebecca together a little. My husband got a chuckle out of seeing me fight the tears last night. Great episode for sure.

 

[Lori74]

Oh, I also loved the angle about how we present ourselves to our family vs. how things really are. Randall is seen as so put together and has everything, yet behind closed doors, things are not perfect. So true.

There is a correlation to Jack as well. He kept all his struggles secret and to his family he appeared to be perfect but as we've found he did have flaws-- his problems with alcohol.

!

Where did you watch it? They cut the Kevin Spacey for the broadcast airing and replaced it with Christian Bale.

 

[theSurlyMermaid]

I heard that in Canada they still said Kevin Spacey.

Ah, gotcha!

I said 26 in my previous post but if they were “10 and a bit” in 2000 then they were 28, close to 29 in 2008. Too grown to blame youth for doing such crappy things IMO. I’ve not led a perfect life by any means and I’m sure I did some crappy things but these particular choices, sleeping with a married man, trying to steal your buddy’s job just go too far to be in the “young and dumb” category. For me, I could have overlooked it if they’d had any kind of remorse over it but they didn’t seem to have any at all. Eh, I should have just stayed out of the thread this week-those two things (sleeping with another woman’s husband and stabbing your friend in the back) are serious hot buttons for me.
