I might be the only one that feels this way but I’m kind of over the flashback scenes

I’d prefer them just stick to current storylines and an occasional future one

I just think the flash backs are getting played out.



I think it's just you. I'm on a This is Us fan page and most people want MORE flashbacks. We want the backstory on Miguel and Rebecca getting together. We want more backstory on the things that make the Big 3 who they currently are.

Will officially jump the shark if true



Yes, it would have. This show usually makes you think things and then it's something else. I think Randall will find his other family thru something like Ancestry dna. That's how it currently happens and this show is nothing if not real on current times.

How are they going to explain that she never went back to her home/apartment where William continued to live after he thought she had OD'd?


He didn't go back there. They showed that last week. He got on a bus and just kept going instead of getting off at his normal stop.

Maybe she goes back home and he's gone. In 1980, it could have been hard to find him.

The mom is about to die.


Her death is like 10 years or more in the future.

There's still a lot in the tank regarding Jack, particularly his and Nicky's relationship with their dad. Pops Pearson was a loving, attentive father up until the point Nicky was born. When Jack & Nicky are middle school-aged, we see their dad has made the transformation to full-on alcoholic a-hole.

We don't have an explanation for that transformation.


IKR...I feel like we are watching a different show from others on this page.

Sooo Randall’s mom almost dies and then goes to Vietnam?


Just because she was with a Vietnamese guy doesn't mean she goes to Vietnam. That could have been the USA. We don't know where they were. He was trying to teach his very American granddaughter Vietnamese.

Would not surprise me at all if the finale is that the mom actually gave birth to twins and Randall has a twin sister somewhere.

Nailed it. Randall’s long lost half sister

Eta quoted wrong person but so predictable

Finally watched the show. It was okay. It's getting more and more predictable in some ways.

Is this show still good? I haven't watched since I cut cable in the middle of season 3 and was thinking about picking it back up.

If you've watched to S3, then there should still be a lot of unanswered questions about the story you likely want resolved.

Pretty meh episode..

The Kate getting knocked up at 17 by that scumbag boyfriend of hers was pretty shocking news. Didn’t see that coming.

Yeah, but they get to play the #SoBrave card for Kate getting an abortion, provided that's where they're headed with this.

Kate obviously gets an abortion because she said, “My mom and my brothers never knew”. Hope Jack at least beats the shite out of her scum bag boyfriend

While that would be rewarding it can’t happen. All the scum bag boyfriend stuff happened after Hack died.

:

also this abortion storyline is dumb...these fricking people have gone over mostly everything in their teenage years with a fine tooth comb and now its "oh yeah there was that time I had an abortion. Forgot about that...what a whacky summer that was"

and the COVID shite is too much, I get wanting to be current and all but I'd think most viewers are watching these shows to get away from that shite. We don't need randall and dumb arse malick talking in his office wearing masks.

They haven't gone over anywhere near everything that happened in their teen years. The point is that Kate has been repressing and hiding this all these year and not told anyone. It's not that she had an abortion or miscarriage. It's a very important part of who she is and probably what led to her weight problem...she's hiding who she is behind the weight.

We need a shot of Randall in his car alone, wearing his mask as he drives to really seal the deal.
