This Is Us - episode 2

[tkford216]

This may be easier, making a new thread for new episodes so we can chat when ready. (Was there no new episode this week? There's nothing on hulu.)

So, spoilers ahead. If you haven't caught up on episode 2 yet, beware.

What are your thoughts? Especially about the ending.

There was no episode this week due to the VP debate. I still need to get online and watch episode 2 so I'll stay out for a bit. I thought I recorded it but it didn't take.

I thought that since Rebecca was still wearing the necklace at the end that Jack Is probably dead. The episode revolved around his drinking, so maybe it was an alcohol related illness.
I hope we find out soon, and not have to wait all season.

I wonder if Kate will also move to NY or stay in LA? She and Kevin seem close, but then there's that budding relationship.
As I said in the other thread, her storyline gets me in the feels because I can relate so much as someone who has always been on the heavier side. It was never that drastic where my mom made me eat fruit while my siblings had cereal for breakfast though.

swim that was my thought too, with the dad. Maybe liver illness or drunk driving or something. But they must have ended on good (ish) terms to still wear the necklace right?

Yea idk what they'll do with the siblings. I feel like they will all somehow end up in the same city at some point.

I think it's sketchy though that Rebecca is with her ex-husband's best friend. Like was Miguel in love with her back when he gave jack that speech at the bar? I'm interested to see how this develops.

I think that boyfriend is good for Kate and I hope she stays with him. He helps her loosen up and have a good time.

Well if the dad died, the friend could have swooped in as a shoulder to cry on, and then, you know how that goes. Maybe he had bad intentions or maybe it was by accident, who knows. But it seemed clear that he thought she was quite special way back. We'll see I guess.

I got the impression that Randall isn't too thrilled about his mom being with Miguel. Just by the way he said his name when he met them at the door. So I hope to see how that relationship came about, and where Jack is.

I didn't even catch the necklace at the end!

I feel like, since they spent the time and "fame" to cast Milo, we'll have to wait a while to see what really happened. I don't think they'll show him dying next episode or anything. In epsiode 1, they did say "Dad always SAID," not "says".. makes me think Dad is past tense, since we know Mom is still around.

I don't really care about Kevin's storyline at all :\.

Agreed. He's whiny.

And regarding Jack, IMBD has Milo credited for 10 episodes (the whole first season) so I think he'll be around for awhile. My money is on alcohol related death too though.

Overall I like the show and the twists at the end of the first two episodes. I'm excited to see where it goes.

[tkford216]

I really like how they are showing the past and present all at once. Like piecing things together slowly for us. Makes it interesting.

**From this point forward episode 3 will be discussed. If you don't want spoilers close the thread.**

[trtlcrzy]

I'm mad they didn't address the Miguel thing.

[tkford216]

Should we start a new thread for episode 3 so people know? Otherwise I could get on the computer and try to change the title.
