And I think the intruder is just Randall's anxiety because he is carrying the stress of Rebecca's diagnosis and the red eye flight.

I think the intruder is real. He was coming home late and tired and may have just not carefully locked the front door when he came in. It would also play into the whole storyline about moving to Philly and that entails.

Spoiler alert





Home invader with a knife. Methhead looking white guy. I don’t think Randall will be able to reason with him.

This is not a spoiler. It was at the end of the episode and preview for the following week.

Not everyone has seen last night episode. Some people TiVo it.

People still use TiVo?

I think TiVo seems more useful now when people cut the cord. They can get their streaming on demand content from Netflix, Prime, etc., and then use TiVo for the broadcast networks. Funny how an older innovation can find new life. Doesn't happen very often.

i first thought that they where on some back lot of the studio. really frumpy looking and the camera angle sitting just above the boxes make it look a bit like a junk yard unti lthe camera panned up a bit higher...

the wood is old and grey, probably need a freshening up/cleaning..

It did look like a dump. And was that wood? I thought it was concrete and was so confused.

But do they actually use TiVo for that? I used my DVR through Sling.

Definitely a real intruder. Interested to see how Randall handles it.

Different poster--I do. In fact I just replaced mine when the (ancient) one I had died. Tivo ha the best interface/usability of any DVR I've ever used, I love it. I record a bunch of broadcast network stuff and a ton of kids TV from PBS (over the air antenna, not paying for any kind of TV service).

Am I the only one who really dislikes Jack? R&J is not a modern love story for me.

I don't dislike Jack, but I am sick of that story and how "perfect" it is.

R&J is almost a 50 year old love story, so I don't think this criticism is exactly fair. What I find unbalanced is that Season 1 and half of 2 was so perfect that even his struggles in Season 2 and 3, including scary alcoholism, keeping his brother a secret bomb didn't do enough to dislodge the initial impression.

When she announced that she loved him, I felt bad for her parents. All the dude does is smirking and throwing tantrums. He rarely talks, he is often irate, he’s rude to her parents. What a catch.

I have never found Jack very palatable. I'm more attracted to cerebral types, so his aura just doesn't appeal to me. And I agree that they are making it seem so PERFECT, when we all suffered through that horrible Season #2 with all the alcoholism.

I still love the show. But, I'd love it more if the Jack character was someone else.
