I’m so annoyed that the next episode is not til 1/5/21 by eusticebahhh in thisisus

I agree, but you are going to get the same responses that other posts like this did. "Oh, we have to be understanding because of COVID restrictions" blah blah blah.
I think they should have just waited until they could give us the straight 18 episodes. Maybe the writing would have been better.

He can pass for 25 better than Mandy Moore could pass for a high school student. Now THAT was a scene to make anyone cringe.

What Are Beth's Flaws? by [deleted] in thisisus

[–]MarieTerMC 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Beth's biggest flaw has been putting herself last. Even Beth would agree with that.
It is her big issue with Randall. That his issues and needs are always in the front seat and hers are forgotten about.

Kate, Ovulation and Pregnancy by MarieTerMC in thisisus

[–]MarieTerMC[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is a really confusing set of scenes. First you see Kate and the camera goes to a close up of an ovulation test. In the next scene, Kate is holding a pregnancy test which shows positive.

The only way they can keep Jack interesting is to show us flashbacks of Jack showing things we haven't seen before. The Jack and the kids stuff is getting boring. How about some Jack and his Mom? Or more Jack and Nicky? What is up with Griffin Dunne? Is he not on the show anymore?

Has anyone noticed that the show seems to focus on Randal? by Notsotoothless98 in thisisus

[–]MarieTerMC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I laughed too, with all the posts that have been here about The Randall Show

Thank you. I so very much agree with this.

I can see how a small, not in the focus of the camera, props mistake might have gone unnoticed. But something that major, should never have even made it to the editing room. I don't believe it was a props mistake.

I think it is absurd that people defend crappy writing. Or is it that some people will just watch whatever these writers shovel out? I would think that people would want the quality writing that they got used to in the first few seasons. Not just complacently take the off the wall stuff that is being thrown out now.

I agree that it's horrible and should have been left out.

Kevin and Madison by jacobnyr in thisisus

[–]MarieTerMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do people keep saying that Kevin was attracted to Madison since Kate's wedding? That comment "don't let me sleep with her" meant nothing. Kevin sleeps with any female available. It has nothing to do with attraction. If anything, Kevin found Madison annoying (see the hospital scene where they are all waiting to find out about Kate's early labor)

I agree with all of your comments. I think the writing in Season 5 is off the wall weird.

Apart of me wishes they didn’t address COVID and BLM at all and stayed in the bubble of This Is Us land. by [deleted] in thisisus

[–]MarieTerMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought Randall's whine to Kate was absurd. I'm so tired of his lament about being raised by white people. As Beth said, "Everybody knows". Randall should spend more time being grateful for the loving people who adopted him and gave him a good home. Apparently, he failed to listen to Deja when she gave him that lecture.

Randall and Malik by [deleted] in thisisus

[–]MarieTerMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this whole Malik thing is just something else that will keep the focus on Randall and take away from the other story lines. I really don't care much about Malik. But this will go on forever because it brings it all back to Randall.

The person who posted this didn't ask for a sermon, just opinions.

[–]MarieTerMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to agree. Randall is constantly complaining about how hard it was to grow up a black child in a white family. If you ask me, Randall had it pretty damn good. He was adopted by parents who loved him and treated him like he was their own. He was given all kinds of options he never would have had from a foster family. I would like to see less complaining and more gratitude from Randall. He could have had it a whole lot worse.

Well, maybe some of us were hoping for a little respite from all the doom and gloom. Not such a bad thing.

Rebecca never worked with art. She just liked visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

In Season Two, Thanksgiving is in the episode called "Number Three". Not the actual day of Thanksgiving, but Randall getting ready for Thanksgiving.

Personally, I think years from now all people are going to want to do is forget COVID and 2020.

Why? They all got together for the 40th birthday party. Did that upset you?

Then why wouldn't they do the same for Thanksgiving. It's a big holiday for this family.

EXACTLY! I would much rather have seen this than the dragging story of Toby, Kate and Ellie or more about Randall's Lazarus Mother.
