Our lists pretty much match up completely.
I super dislike Kate, it's nothing to do with her weight, it's her personality. As ugly as she is to her Mom and others around her.
Kevin at least has humor as some of his redeeming qualities, sure he's an addict and can be a complete arse and his life is a wreck, but he makes jokes and is still charming and likeable even with his faults. Jack had his faults as well. I still don't really care for him and think he is a spoiled brat, but at least he is an outgoing frickup of a spoiled brat.
Kate has zero redeeming qualities, it's whining all the time, complaining all the time, relishing in self pity and hate. I just don't get it, I don't even really see her coming out of her shell with Toby, I really just feel bad for Toby more times than not.
Randall, Randall is likable.

She seems like a miserable person
She has a fiance' now. She almost had a baby. She even has a dog.

You misspelled "seething black hole of suck." She's truly miserable and that compounds her unlikability.
The only time I can think of her not dragging someone else into her vortex of self-pity was when she realized Madison was relapsing in her anorexia, and just needed a friend.
So a solitary, quasi-human moment.

They have to reign it in with her or Toby becomes unbelievable.
I already find Toby a bit unbelievable (or the fact that Toby and Kate are in a relationship). His character, when first introduced, was somewhat broken and vulnerable, but he has gone on to become a super positive, funny, loyal, damn the torpedoes" kind of guy with an all around great personality. It also looks like he makes a decent living. I would imagine that a "real life" Toby would have no problem finding a much more attractive, non-broken woman.
That being said, I don't dislike Kate nearly as much as everyone here. I think Chrissy Metz is doing a great job with this character.
I also don't like Randall as much as everyone else does.

I don't get it. She plays a miserable fat woman.

Kevin is the man!
I think his storyline is by far the most interesting of the Big 3!

Randall went to go see Titanic instead of watching the Super Bowl with his parents. Jack died at the end of that movie. Let that sink in.

Rebecca would've made room on that goddamned door. Just sayin'.

I'm pumped for future Tess, I thought that was brilliant
My wife and I were talking about this scene this morning. Other than explaining who the little boy was, or who why he wasn't going to Randall's family. What was the point of this scene? Was it to show how cool Tess really though fostering was? I thought it was all well done, and probably like everyone else was sure the little boy was going to Randall's family. Nice twist with future Tess.

Has anyone else been impressed with Kevin this season?
That therapy session when he broke his mom was a powerful scene. Probably one of the better scenes of both seasons for me. His character has opened up in my opinion. At first he was just the self centered actor, then they peeled the layers away, and he's a grown up with tons of regret for how things went down the day his dad died.

I thought they did it because they were going to start doing flash forwards into everyone's lives.

That’s how a took it. It was an introduction to a new aspect of the show. It probably won’t be a weekly thing but I think flashwards will be happening form here on out.

I just meant the manner in which they did it

I'm thinking it was a little of both-about Tess and that we are going to start seeing into the future, as well. We'll see.

Second, Kevin is staying with Rebecca and Miguel who live in New Jersey but yet on that same day, how does he go to visit Jack’s tree near Pittsburgh when it’s an 8-10 hour drive from NJ depending on where in the state he’s coming from.
Not sure where tree is but I could not get over this at all

Kevin has really grown on me, to see his internal demons really come out and the way he’s worked through it .
In “ number 1” episode , the speech he gives on the football field as he’s drunkenly talking and reenacting how he got hurt , about he saw his future and notre dame,and getting with Sophie and losing her ... and yet they keep cheering..
I watch that one scene quite often and it’s so good

He killed it
