BEST SHOW EVER 💕

megstevens92 · October 2018

Finally something I can contribute to! I'll be an hour behind though, so I have to stay off this thread until then so I don't spoil it for myself.

megsb615 · October 2018

@megstevens92 It seems like most people aren’t watching yet, and I know some watch a day or two later. I’m on the east coast, so I’ll wait for everyone! 🙂

I have it dvr’d. Love it!!

imrachellea · October 2018

I watched it live! This may be an actual thing now since DH goes to bed early with his new work schedule...

I cried 30 seconds in with the first high school Randall scene.

megsb615 · October 2018

@imrachellea I actually made it through without crying this episode. I was surprised bc that hardly ever happens!

megstevens92 · October 2018

Wooo! Joining the no crying team tonight my friends. Although there were a few close calls...

hutterflutter1019 · October 2018

No crying her either. I felt so badly for Randall at the end, though.

MaggieG183 · October 2018

We do Hulu, so I’ll be watching tomorrow. DH and I always watch This Is Us together and since he’s in Ohio for work, we have a date for tomorrow at 7:30 MST and 9:30 EST to watch together with speaker phones on. We discuss everything in a play-by-play 😂 I’ll get back on this tomorrow night and tell you if I was a gusher or not. Viking-born DH always, ALWAYS cries during the show. He’s never has a dry eye by the end, though he’d never admit it to friends.

imrachellea · October 2018

@MaggieG183 Meanwhile my DH has no interest in watching with me 😕 He says it's too slow moving for him. But then one day last season he said "well maybe of is watched it from the beginning..." Dude. I offered! Also there's no way i could get him to catch up on Hulu, especially during football season (though it's always *some* sorry season).

DuchessOfCambridge · October 2018

I won’t catch up until I’m back in the states but I’ll be here soon, sobbing with the rest of you 😭

lappymom2019 · October 2018

I am not going to get to watch it until tomorrow but I am so excited for this thread!

megstevens92 · October 2018

@MaggieG183 that is adorable

megsb615 · October 2018

@hutterflutter1019 I felt bad for Randall too. He’s my favorite sibling for sure. I also feel bad for Kate with all that she has going on with IVF.

@MaggieG183 Thats so funny. My husband “watches” it with me, but he definitely scrolls though his phone more. Hence the reason I needed this thread to talk with y’all about it! 😂

zuuls_mom · October 2018

I totally teared up at the beginning scene with Randall! And I felt so bad for him at the end. Next week's looks like it will be a serious tear jerker.

megsb615 · October 2018

@zuuls_mom yes, it does! I can’t wait!

robyn2201 · October 2018

Randall is my favorite as well! I felt bad for him this episode. He always tries so hard! I teared up a little at the beginning.

megsb615 · October 2018

I’m going to have to go back and rewatch the beginning with Randall because I don’t remember anything making me teary.. I’m curious now. 🤔

eatinwatermelonseeds · October 2018

Is anyone else terrified for Toby? I just caught up and episode 1 I was like NOOOO. Now he's feeling the effects and I'm just waiting for bad 😩

megsb615 · October 2018

@eatinwatermelonseeds I’m worried for him too. Why didn't he tell Kate about flushing his pills though?

zuuls_mom · October 2018

@eatinwatermelonseeds yes, I am so nervous for him! He's always so happy and upbeat and I am not prepared to see him hurting and depressed! I wish he would have realized that going off his meds wasn't worth what it would do to him.

eatinwatermelonseeds · October 2018

He's one of my favorite characters on the show and I just can't stand the thought of him being depressed. And WHAT THE F WAS THE END OF THAT EPISODE (1)?! I'm sorry, episode 2 wasn't as crazy so I have less to say 😂 but omg.

imrachellea · October 2018

But Toby just loves her SO much and he's so afraid of Kate having that surgery, he's putting himself at risk for her 😭😭😭

eatinwatermelonseeds · October 2018

I don't think I can handle this show this season 😭

MaggieG183 · October 2018

So, I’m sure for me it was hormones, cause today everything has me weepy, but I could hear Hubs through the phone tonight clearing his throat and sniffing a bit (totally his M.O. when he’s tearing up) with Randall’s story at the end. He’s such a softy... He wouldn’t admit he was crying even with a crying selfie of me sent to him to get him to potentially fess up. 🙄

bashmama18 · October 2018

I wanted to punch Kate in her stupid face for her comment about "passing on" a part of Jack, like biology is the only part of someone that's worth passing on. A relative made a comment to DH IRL about wanting a boy to pass on his name...we have a son who was adopted, I almost lost it on her. If bio wouod ever make a comment like that to his/her brother, they would be set straight immediately.

eatinwatermelonseeds · October 2018

@bashmama18 right? That was bill shit. Kate makes me mad a lot. I got kind of upset that Toby was very open about his feelings about IVF and she agreed and then didn't even consult him before saying yes to the doctor. Like wtf.

peachy13 · October 2018

Jack always did everything for his family and Randall embodied that after Jack died, as seen from the scene where he decides to withdraw from Howard so that he can help out at home and be there for his siblings and mom. We know that he carries that special trait from his father throughout his adulthood, where Randall remains a selfless, family man. I think I was as sad as he was when he found out that Kate thinks the only way to pass on a piece of their dad is for her to have a baby.

I'm on Team Kate a lot of the time, but she was very aggravating in this episode.

lappymom2019 · October 2018

Well said @peachy13 It broke my heart that she said that.

megsb615 · October 2018

It pissed me off she said that too. Not to mention how hurt Randall was when Kevin told him about it, and then Kate’s just waving saying hey to him. I do like Kate, but she gets on my nerves with her self pity sometimes. I did almost tear up a little when Rebecca was explaining to Kate why she didn’t want her to do IVF, and it flashed back to them on the couch talking about her weight. Then, Rebecca still gave her the shot. 😔

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · October 2018

@msb615 I loved that scene! I don't know what I would have done in that situation about the eating. She tells her she gained 25 pounds, but then Rebecca just goes along with it. Gah. So hard.

Anyone else not a fan of Kevin and Beth's cousin? Also, it was interesting to see Kevin's drinking issues starting when they were teenagers.

nonlinear_function · October 2018

This was an interesting episode, for all the reasons mentioned already. I am irritated with Kate, and feel so bad for Toby. He makes me laugh every episode. This one was when the IVF drugs fell out of the pudding and he instantly goes, "I'm a heroin addict." Perfect recovery!

peachy13 · October 2018

Regarding the IVF, is anyone able to explain why it's so risky for Kate to do this? I know they said it's a high chance of failure, but is it dangerous to her health?

nonlinear_function · October 2018

@peachy13 it requires her to go under anesthesia for the egg retrieval, which is dangerous when you are that overweight.

megsb615 · October 2018

@secicc12 Ugh I know. I couldn’t imagine losing my husband and trying to still be a good mother to our 3 kids. I felt terrible for her when young Randall was fussing at her about Kate’s eating and Kevin’s drinking and she was like, I do the best I can just to get out of bed each morning and by the end of the day, I have nothing left. 😭 Also not a fan of Kevin and Beth’s cousin. I wish he would’ve not messed things up with his childhood sweetheart. I forget her name...

eatinwatermelonseeds · October 2018

There are a lot of reasons, mostly the anesthesia and high chance of failure, but even carrying a pregnancy at that weight is very high risk to her and baby.

I was wondering the same thing at the end of episode 1. Who are Tess and Randall going to see? When they showed that scene last season a few times I kind of assumed they were going to see Deja who was in trouble, but now I have no clue because what would Toby have to do with that?

Kate also drives me a little crazy with her self pity and whining, I can't believe that she said she was the only one that could pass on a piece of Jack. And this is not going to go well for Toby being off his meds.

I am also not a fan of Kevin and the cousin and also wish that he would have worked things out with his highschool sweetheart/ex-wife.

eatinwatermelonseeds · October 2018

@MelissaMay82 I seriously thought it was about Deja too, but then Deja softens in the present, and they show Toby. Are they going to see Kate's grave site? It's seriously what I thought of. But they're so good at tricking us I have no effing clue what to think.
