This is Us - 10/24 - dialog question

In some of the flashbacks to when Jack was at home with his father, wasn't there another male there? Maybe I'm getting shows mixed up. Would that be the brother, although they never mentioned it?

Haven't watched this week yet.

That's what I was thinking too!!

So are we to assume that the Dad died in the nursing home? They didn't really ever confirm that!

Aww Kevin reading Randall's notebook and it had don't bother Kevin, don't ask for Kevin's Gameboy, how sad he had to have notes to remind him what not to do around his brother.

Kate being pregnant. Not happy with that story line. She has so much stress in her life already, without adding a possibly problematic pregnancy into the mix. Of course, that's what makes good tv. I wonder if they are going to have her with multiples.

That scene with Toby in the diner? It had the promise of being so good, then it wasn't. I was silently screaming at Kate to RUN! I wasn't a fan of Toby last season, and thought he was better this season. But it looks like he is here to stay.

It looks like Deja and Randall may have finally reached an understanding. I'm sure there will be some hiccups along the road, but I think she is coming around to him and accepting him as a father figure. I loved watching her try the shrimp and loving it. As for the grabbing, it sounds like her foster father grabbed the kids and hit them with a rolled up magazine. That's why she hates to be grabbed. I'm sure she's been hit without a magazine before too.

I don't remember Jack having a sibling. This is the first time they showed him as a child. I love how they keep adding layers on to this family. I think someone said once they reveal how Jack died, the show will end. I don't think so. There are so many possible story lines to keep it going. At least I hope so!

I think it more likely that the father bullied the younger brother into joining the military, and Jack blames his dad for the brother's death.

Also, I am already over Kevin's addiction storyline. So predictable and overdone.

I know a few obese women who have quite normal pregnancies. My high school Latin teacher had at least 6 children and she must have weighed 250-300 pounds. She worked up until the day she had them.

Every pregnancy is different.

Good observations everyone, especially the predictions about Jack and his brother, and possibly father interaction.

I am soooo rooting for Randall and Deja. I felt like last night was a little breakthrough. I can really relate to Randall's sensitivity and his "feeling too much". It's something you just can't help.

I agree on Kevin's addiction storyline -- done to death. Pick something else please.

And now for my weekly rant on Toby: EEeeeewwwww! Why can't you be normal dude?! Really, dancing around the diner, jumping behind the counter and hugging workers, pouring a jug of water over you ala Flashdance? I would have called the police on your ass.

It's like the writers sat down to write this season and said:  What are all the hot-button issues?   We're adding all of them.  Every last one.

I won't speculate on the Kate's weight, but I'd venture to say she's well above 300lbs. And the character is also 37 which adds possible complications and since this is a drama series, they're going to trot every obstacle out they can imagine.

I'm over Kevin's addiction storyline too. Enough already. Kate just pisses me off. I'd be happy f the show was just about Rebecca and Jack and Randall and his family.

It was hard for me to watch also...That was my father's idea of "visitation" when he divorced my mom.  We sat in the car in front of the bar while he drank.  Now I know why I was feeling a bit off yesterday after I watched it.....

I miss William.

I love this show. I love, even the characters I don't care for, because that is real life. Not everyone in life is a Jack or Randall. It would be so boring if there weren't those cring worthy moments.
