This is Us 2/6

Hugs kellykapow. This show is so emotional even without an emotional tie to the story, I can only imagine how hard it must be.

On their way home with all the Supwr Bowl food they said Kevin's cast way coming off in two days.

Okay, these 2 articles say in the previews of the funeral we saw earlier in the season, Kevin didn't have a cast on. Maybe be all made it up.

The mandela effect?

The cup in the car really brought me back to right after my mom died. Finding all the echos of her being alive in our house was like feeling her fingerprints on everything, like she was still coming back to put that stack of papers away, finish eating that bag of popcorn, etc. It's such a hollow and disorienting feeling.

I think this episode did a beautiful job. What a great show.

You guys are all thinking you saw the cast at the funeral but it was in the rapid clips of that night when it happened. We saw Kate saying she had to tell him and he had a cast on so we knew it would be close. Sometimes I'm surprised at what people miss or don't catch onto.

Yeah, those clips were the first time I think I saw the cast. We knew Randall had a GF, Kate had a dog, and Kevin had a broken leg in the woods. 

I think we learned that the kids were teenagers when he died from the funeral scene, before that we didn't know when he actually died.

Ugh, I remember those clips. I bawled...I think it was during kate’s Breakthrough at rehab.

I did ok this episode until Dr. K. That conversation was beautiful and sad all at the same time. Same with the tree.

I think I am ready to move on from this.

I want to know more of what happened between the funeral and when the first episode started at age 36.

I'm watching now. Teenage Kate's smile is so similar to adult Kate's!

I'm at the part where he is taking her to the record store. ❤

[badwolf]

This one was harder for me than the last. So many tears. Much more this time.

[willow]

This one got to me. Mostly the talk with the Doctor. I had several of those kinds of talks with people in the immediate aftermath of my late H’s death. No idea how I could survive and be strong enough to give birth and raise our little boy on my own. That period of time is so scary. All of the feels.

Hollow and disorienting is the perfect way to put it. That’s how I felt every time I reached down to text my late H out of habit.

Ok I know we’re supposed to love Jack and obviously I was sad when he died. That being said some of the things he did really bother me. The car dealership scene is a prime example and didn’t he also buy the house without consulting Rebecca?

I know it’s supposed to be part of his charm with the grand gestures I just... am meh on it.
