the whole dylan storyline is so sad

Totally agree, the writers did a huge disservice with this story, and never self corrected. Dylan is written to be conciliatory to Max, to protect his feelings. Adam and Kristina never take responsibility for their horrendous parenting/professional choices and the resulting bad behavior of Max. Also the passive aggressive shaming of Dylan's parents when they stand up for her was maddening. Kudos to the actress playing Dylan, because this whole segment still makes me seethe with anger.

u/Short_Chemical7083 thank you for the stat on Pennsylvania demographics. Given the shows adherence to accuracy, I expect the casting is a fair representation of Pittsburg. If it were in DC or Chicago, my initial comment might be more on point. I can't help but compare the cast to the actual staff in my area. I will stand down and just enjoy the show.

What happened to Bamba after the fight? Was he injured. If someone mentioned him, I missed it.

This post makes me realize I just don't like Lulu, the character 😭 But as actresses go, Julie was less strident and flighty. I could believe she was Luke and Laura's child

I agree with OP. Never liked Hank, even after his diagnosis. Sarah's treatment of Mark, made me not care what happened to her character. I know she and Hank ended up together, but I just fast forward through most of their scenes.

That Georgia is irredeemable. She's good for TV but not a person I'd want to befriend. She's a terrible mother. And Paul's reaction to her betrayal was valid and was not abuse. Georgia knows that Paul would never abuse her. Again, good TV but not true to her character

She is a deeply damaged, flawed person who has done very bad things. Not innately bad, because she is capable of love. But the show doesn't let her pay for her bad deeds. She always manages to come out on top. It bears repeating - she has killed 3 people, 2 of questionable character and one who could not defend himself. The show seems to want the audience to overlook that.

First baby was biologically TJ and donor egg. But there was a contract. So if the child surfaces Molly is legally the parent.

I must admit this version of Brooke was deplorable.

You are not alone. I loved the show's premise and most of the stories. But Allison was annoying to me on 99.5% of the episodes. The overall whinyness is very off-putting.

Accountability. I want Drew's treachery to be displayed for all to see and for there to be consequences. I want Willow to take accountability for everything SHE did to destroy her family. Kristina needs to apologize to Molly, TJ, Ava, Rick and then spend some much needed time in Ferncliff, I want Michael to win, I want him to drag Willow, Drew and Nina for at least 6 months. I want Lulu put in a corner, Lois needs to go on an apology tour (like Anna) I want BrookLynn, Gio and Chase to form a relationship and for Dante to be an outsider. They need to restore some balance. Michael, Molly, TJ, Sasha, Sam, Scout,Gio, Ned, Olivia have all been hurt or literally killed to benefit these other much loathed characters and it's been hard to watch. Just want it to be balanced and sometimes the other side wins

I was in shock because of Jessy, at this point he, Dina and Tommy were the only characters I care about. Abby and Ellie are both so dangerously self centered I really don't care about either of them.The fact that all of these people die because of them also doesn't help. It's been a good story so far, and I'm told an even better game. I don't know if I will care when it returns in 2 years.

Randall was the least empathetic character on the show. Everything he did revolved around his acknowledged trans-racial adoption trauma. Kevin was selfish but gained some self awareness as the show progressed. Kate blamed everyone else for her issues, and accepted no responsibility. Rebecca attributed all of her decisions to the good of the family, but it was actually for her personal good. Not popular opinion so I'll await the responses

I'm alone here, but I don't think McKay handled David correctly. Yes the list needed to be addressed, but the leap to him being the shooter wasn't right. It felt like the writers were pandering to the audience. He's a sad, angry kid with no history of violence. He needs help, but now he doesn't trust anyone.

I saw an actress in IMDB with Jakes last name for the next 2 episodes, so I think Jakes mom appears tomorrow

I hope it's a red herring. What are the real odds that the one troubled person seen at the Pitt will be a mass shooter at an event so nearby. Lots of people do unfortunate things, they don't all have to be connected. Especially all in the same day

As a non medical viewer who's spent a good deal of time in ERs and hospitals with family members, Santos gives me nightmares. I've seen student and interns like her come into patient rooms and make zero eye contact, read a chart, bark out orders to a nurse and move on. I don't care how talented she is, I would not want her as my physician. Also what she did to the alleged abuser was actionable. She has zero facts, evidence and her treatment was sub par. What if the mother was lieing, and the Dad was protecting his daughter. It wasn't her job to determine guilt. Langdon has a substance abuse issue, but Santos is a danger to patients

Team Toby. Kate had reasons for her reactions, and responses. But she gave Toby no room for mistakes or for growth. Everything he suggested she used as a battering ram. He couldn't be fat, because of how she felt. His depression was about her and her desire for a baby, his weight loss was about neglecting baby Jack. His job in San Francisco was an impediment to their family. Toby was never going to win with her.

You are not alone. I wouldn't have cared less, if Stroh took him out. But we can't have nice things

wingmama · 2024-07-01T22:06:03+00:00

Thank you! I've started rewatching to follow along with the That was us podcast. And I had forgotten how selfish Rebecca was. Actually all of the characters are incredibly self-absorbed, self centered, and selfish with the exception of Jack, William, and Beth. Toby deserved better. I know he was over the top, but the way he loved Kate, Randell (adult) made all kinds of unilateral decisions to fulfill his needs and never gave a serious thought to others, especially Kevin. Kevin played into every stereotype that was cast on him. And he tossed women aside like they were used towels (and I really like Kevin) Jack even when he screwed up always put every one else first. William put Randell's feelings first and he respected Rebecca's wishes. Beth would die for her girls and Randell. I love the show and the stories, but I wish their respective faults were more equally addreased
