This Is Us - episode 3

What did we all think?

I like how they show the twin dynamic. But I'm glad they're trying things separate. Kevin is so dependent and whiny.

The scene with the mom and dad sitting in the hall, talking about the loss.. all the feels. Ugh.

I have to assume that Randall will find out the back story between bio dad and adoptive mom, right? I mean, there has to be drama there. I thought the name thing was sweet.

[rivers and roads]

I was crying in the first 5 minutes when Dr. K was talking about the scariest moment is leaving. So true!
I'm sure Randall will find out about mom and biodad. I love his wife so much.
Randall is in NYC, right? If wondering if some tension will develop with Kevin there, since it seems to already exist and Kevin is hella annoying.

I hope Kate's storyline moves more past her size at some point. It annoys me when shows do that. I think they're trying.

I need to rewatch the last 10 minutes because I feel like I missed some important dialogue then. Both kids decided to cry when I was watching last night. I missed what happened with how Kyle went to Randall. But I'm glad they changed his name.

Kevin is SO whiny. I feel like Justin Hartley gets type cast though. He was Fox Crane on Passions several years ago. Was whiny and entitled then too lol. I'm glad he decided to fire Kate, so she could stay in LA.

I liked the twin connection thing. I see it so much in my nieces, it's like they have their own little language at 3. But I'm sure that connection caused some tension between Kate, Kevin and Randall. Maybe he always felt like a third wheel?
We don't really see Kate interact with Randall at all, except when Kevin called him last episode and Randall said "Yeah Kate told me"

[tkford216]

swim I would guess you're right with the twin and third wheel thing. Especially since he's adopted on top of it. Would be hard growing up I would think. I guess we'll see.

I binge watched all three episodes last night while DH was at band practice. So many feels and tears. I'm liking it so far. Definitely agree that Kevin is a whiney ass who needs to grow up. Love Randall and that whole side of the story. I'm very interested to see where Kate's character goes as the story continues. Very interested to see what happened to the Dad.

I agree about Kate's storyline, rivers and roads. I loved her singing scene! I don't know if it's the actual actress's voice, but it's beautiful.

I was glad to see the doctor back again, I loved his character.

And I was kinda surprised that there WASN'T a surprise twist at the end of this one, like with the other two episodes.
