This Is Us- Episode 5

[rivers and roads]

Holy shit. 

That was not the death I was preparing myself for.

Wait. Wait. Ahh. What?! I'll get there.

I was just about to come and start the thread. I'm only 5 minutes in. But I can't stand Kevin already. Smack.

Go figure. Mandy Moore is singing in a show she's in. Lol

[tkford216]

Oh man. Tears. As soon as she grabbed the urn, I lost it.

So the montage at the end showed Randall folding his dad's stuff, so is that how they are showing his death? Like is he dead now or was that foreshadowing?

I took it as now, given the conversation Kevin had with the girls.


Also: I really just can't stand Kevin. Even when he's supposed to be endearing, I can't stand him.

Do you think Randall and his wife (I'm blanking on her name...) will try to get pregnant now that the idea has been floated?

I was guessing that they were going to be pregnant and they'd have his dad become the nanny so she could continue with her career. Guess that's not happening.

Yeah Kevin annoys me for some reason.
Plus the whole "don't get too attached" 'joke' he told was super insensitive given he knows that William is terminally ill.

I'm glad? they answered the question of where Jack is in present day, but ugh. Still sad.

I hope the end is just foreshadowing. Because I feel like it's too soon for Randall's bio dad to be gone so soon.
