This Is Us- Season two

[Action City]

True, but you would think it would have been mentioned or something by now.

There's a lot of things that haven't been mentioned yet. That's the point of the show.

I didn't cry when Jack died. I knew he was dead and I figured it had to do with the fire so I was ok with that but last night....man oh man did I cry. I kept thinking about my own life and if I lost my dh and how would I act. I also kept thinking to myself that I love Jack. I love what he says and how he says it and how he reaches his family and how he said he wanted his kids to be OK at the dealership and then Rebecca at the tree saying they were going to be OK. Geez! What a great show!!!!!

My kids are just slightly younger than the 3 and I remember when that Jeep came out, everyone wanted one. And they were expensive. Station wagons were just going to the wayside and Chrysler came out with this style of jeep. It is also the time that the new vans started replacing the station wagons. In the late 80's early 90's cars were around $12,000-$15,000. I remember this jeep was $28,000-$32,000. Most families started to buy the vans. We drove at least 3 Chevy Astro Vans, till the Chevy Tahoo came out.

My husband cringed when Rebecca reached into the canister and spread the ashes and then they showed the kids doing the same. She wiped her hands back and forth, like, "done." My husband really took the whole show last night hard. We are the same age as Jack and I think my husband got a flash of his mortality.

I thought they were going to find out she was pregnant.

She was waiting for results from a brain MRI, not likely that would have shown pregnant

 

[bethbuchall]

I knew that I'd find last night's episode more difficult than Sunday's. But I really enjoyed it, too.

My sister has frequent MRI's. She always has a blood draw and pregnancy test first. I was assuming this would be the same. It doesn't matter now, anyway.

 

[lisaviolet]

Sunday didn't touch me all that much. Only Deja! I thought she would be back and I am thrilled to see her. I found Randall so interesting with his take on how to look at his father's death. And Beth, oh Beth, how I love her. Mr. McGiggles won't be giggling anymore.

I also think it was a poorly written episode in parts.

I did think a lot about how thrilled I have been, and emotional, about the writing of Randall's character. I love that he is a geek. For me, it is important that black characters are written in a full way, ie. some black men are geeky, of course.

And although I am not a Toby fan, loved him. And I thought the actress who plays Kate portrayed the emotional nature of waiting for the tape outcome with perfection.

________________________________

Last night, sigh. I just lost my mother and her service was last week. It was hard to watch. But even without that pain, what an exquisitely written episode.

Great job all around.

The myriad of emotions. How everyone mourns differently. Randall still looking to please Kevin with the tie.

The anger coming through sadness, devastation and shock. Perfectly done.

And Gerald Mcraney - Emmy please and thank you. What a wonderful actor.

Regarding Kate being thinner-17 year Kate is thin. Remember those dresses for the dance actually fit and adult Kate saying she lost a bunch of weight as a teen and still wasn’t happy.

Yeah I remember that show but I just thought last night she looked even skinny then that episode. Her face was definitely thinner.

 

[Mizzoufan]

Milo going to be on Ellen today!!

 

[aristocatz]

Yeah I remember that show but I just thought last night she looked even skinny then that episode. Her face was definitely thinner.

I noticed that too, but assumed they used make up to make her look gaunt to emphasize her stress and pain.

 

[Skippyboo]

They could had her wear stuff on her face and body to make her looker heavier in the early episodes knowing they were have teen Kate get thinner. The actor playing Toby isn’t that big in real life.

 

[JaneBanks]

Yeah, I think they were making the actress who plays teenage Kate look bigger. I have seen her pictures and she is thin in "real" life.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Milo going to be on Ellen today!!

Watching now!

I’ve had this thought in my head since the fire episode. My husband and I both felt like Jack somehow knew this was not going to end well for him. When Rebecca was walking out to make calls and find food, it looked like he wanted to say something important but changed his mind. Then he just looked so defeated after she left. And we all know what happened minutes later. Then, in this latest episode there was emphasis on how Jack was very intuitive and just “knew” things before they happened. I don’t foresee the show delving into this anymore than what we saw in this last episode, but both of the last two shows have made DH and I discuss whether or not Jack knew. We feel he did know but wanted to spare Rebecca. We could be reading too much into this, of course. I just wonder.

I agree about when she left the hospital room that he wanted to say more to her but didn't and when he put his head down almost in defeat. Which is very un Jack like

I absolutely agree with you! Even way back after Rebecca's MRI, he said he knew he'd go first. But I definitely think he was about to say something else (even just "I love you") and didn't want to make her suspicious that he wasn't feeling right - because if/when something happened, he didn't want her there to watch.

 

[Mizzoufan]

Loved Milo on Ellen he's pretty funny. Loved when he said he's been dead since the beginning of the show.

 

[QueenIsabella]

"Feeling of impending doom" is a sign of a heart attack. As in, one of the signs and symptoms that EMS/medical personnel are told to look for/ask about.

 

[Dentam]

Holy crap. This episode was so much harder to watch than the fire episode. Lots of crying here.

 

[Dentam]

and I had a lump in my throat it was painful. Crying too, of course.

Same here - a huge painful lump in my throat and lots of tears.

Yeah, I actually mentioned a few pages back that the way they filmed it made it seem that he knew he was going to die and that was the last time he was going to see her.
