Wow so many DCUM ladies triggered by Kate. I’m guessing they see parts of her personality and relationship with Toby in themselves.

No, they just want to criticize the fat girl. The final frontier in terms of people they’re still allowed to mock!

I bet if you saw him at your own pool you wouldn’t look twice. He’s a small troll ish man.

Somebody is triggered by Milo.

True. He grossed me out. Especially his voice.

+1. Would have rather seen more of the actual events than just snippets of them.

NP. I really wonder if this is all because the showrunners said this was the final season so they gave themselves a deadline and now must jam so much into remaining episodes. Does anyone know if the show was facing potential cancellation, so Fogelman et. al. decided to end it on their own terms rather than being canceled, or was this truly about "I've plotted this out so this is the expected end" and it had nothing to do with ratings, cancellation etc.? I find it hard to believe that NBC was anywhere near axing the show at the time it was announced that this was the last season.

Though if actors' contracts were getting near the point of renewal, and any actors had said they wanted to move on, that could have spurred the "we'll finish with this season" approach too.

No series benefits from being drawn out too long, for sure, and any good producer wants to end a show, not have it ended FOR them mid-plot. But I wonder if Fogelman hobbled himself and the entire show by announcing "this will be the final season" when there had been little to no real prior buildup for Kate/Philip, and way too many potential directions for Kevin's love life, etc. etc.

Show was probably getting too expensive. With Covid and actor contract renegotiations (with some probably not wanting to continue), probably decided to call it.

The creator wanted to do 5 seasons. He gave the network 6. He always planned to end it.

No the character is just annoying now. It kinda ruins the show because her and Phillip have zero chemistry and Toby is just trying to provide and she can’t stop playing the victim card over and over again. The divorce just feels shoehorned in at the last minute.

Toby and Kate had a reason to get together, at least, with the weight loss being the catalyst. Kate and Phillip getting together is just out of the blue and unrealistic.

I also find this odd. The love for Toby is super weird.

I live in Los Angeles with a neurotypical child and one with special needs and I found it very unrealistic that she was unwilling to move to San Francisco with Toby. She would not be able to live in that house and only work part-time as a teacher’s aide without a substantial second income. She was being selfish, plain and simple. It was completely unrealistic that Toby could take job paying much less and then afford two houses even if Kate took a full time job. Teachers don’t make that much at these schools.

Yeah it didn’t make sense.

I feel like the writers were trying to pull the Jim and Pam storyline at the end of the Office when Jim moved to Philly and Pam stayed with the kids and just wanted to create drama just to create it.

So because she’s fat, we’re not allowed to think the WRITING of her CHARACTER is bad? Fat girl here, who liked Kate for most of the run but thinks this year’s version of Kate is a completely different character based on the choices she’s making.

Well I’m fat and I can’t stand Kate- not because she’s fat, but because of her character, attitude and idea that someone as negative and victim-y as she is- would have 2 handsome guys as love interests. It’s like Kate’s life has always been about how everyone should cater to her, etc. calling to ask for a promotion when Toby was trying to set their life up in San Francisco shows she only cares about what she wants. And my DH wouldn’t make me walk up a hill in dress clothes regardless of my size- I think it was kind of Toby. She’s jealous he got his life together.

I THINK that’s what they were trying to convey at first. But the way it’s been executed just seems sloppy and she comes across as “woe is me. Feel sorry for me.” and it’s downright annoying.
