FromThe Mannyto the Oscars in one fell swoop?
I mean, Tom Hanks hadBosom Buddies, so … good for Kevin, I guess?
Two big fans ofHill 400include Kevins brother and sister.
Randall and Kate are weepy messes by the time the credits roll.
Kate compares Kevin to Daniel Day-Lewis!
It doesnt take long after the film for Randall and Kate to bring the drama back to themselves.
Neither is really wrong here but Randall should probably read the room.
Even Beth tells him to apologize.
Beth really has Randalls number.
And so does Miguel, apparently!
The Other Big Three is alive and well.
Miguel also has said that sometimes Randall overreacts when it comes to his siblings.
Miguel has really made a miraculous climb from Most Hated Husband in America to the Pearson Whisperer.
But like seriously, Ive never wanted to be on a group text so badly.
Randall makes it to the hospital in time to sit with Toby as he anxiously waits for news.
Adult Kate eventually realizes she needs to leave this magical land and say goodbye to Jack.
You know, practical things.
He apologizes and Kate tells him that, duh, he has a ton of Jack in him.
Traveling across the country to apologize to her proves it.
And all is well again.
Hes going to run against the councilman.
Um, so, thats a choice.
Hes much less self-assured and confident in what he wants out of life.
Hes quiet, sad.
Its such a contrast to Jack Pearson: Beloved Patriarch and its refreshing.
It adds layers and complexity to the character, and thats a very welcome thing.
Alan is a good dude!
They are fated to find one another, it seems.
She cant shake Jack Pearson.
And thats what she tells Jane Kaczmarek (and hopefully Alan, eventually).
She doesnt know Jack, but she hasa feeling.
Hes nothing like her father and their relationship will be nothing like her parents marriage.
Jack is the guy for her.
And so, she asks this quiet, sad man if hed like to take a drive with her.
This Is the Rest
Welcome toThis Is Us, Terry Gross!
His first step, with Zoes help, is to reach out to a man who served with Jack.
Im excited about this storyline for Kevin.
Can we get Shane West on this show, kindly?
Beth and William flashbacks are like an oversized, chunky knit sweater they make me feel taken care of!
Of course she can, William tells her.
Beth is the bass in her marriage: quiet, but holding the whole jazz quartet together.
What do you think Miguels go-to GIF is?
