I still think Mandy Moore is doing fantastic with the role of Rebecca. She is such a believable actress!

Agreed, I mean she is playing a mother opposite people her own age in half of the role and its pretty damn believable.

Agreed. Moore is actually nearly a decade younger than Brown and Hartley in real life, and 4 years younger than Metz.

We like her in This is Us, but since our kids are of a certain age, Moore will always be Rapunzel to us!

Huh?? MM is 33, JH is 40, CH is 37 and SB is 41 so the ages aren't that far off.

Right. Nearly a decade for some of them.

Kevin is so messed up. I really hope he gets help.

LOVED tonight. The show is back. Next week will be interesting to see more of why Kate sees the world as she does. I was super worried that Kevon would sleep with that young girl. I am so glad they did not go in that direction. Think he ever gets the necklace back?

I was so uncomfortable watching parts of tonight's episode....wondering what was going to happen...but it was so good.

I was hoping the woman Kevin slept with would figure out what was going on since she’s a doctor. But also so glad he didn’t sleep with the high schooler!

But she wasn't even looking at him, she was making him a "thing" and not a person, so I'm not surprised she didn't notice. Its what he was saying the whole time. I love that he called Randall.

Well, that was brutal.

Really? I hated last night's episode. Talk about lazy story telling - let's just have Kevin have a drunk monologue where he tells the audience everything he is angsty about it.

I'm with you. I'm sick of sweaty Kevin spiraling down week after week. He's just a cliche right now for me, whereas many of the other characters are far less one-dimensional.

No way.
Until that point that’s what I was thinking. Whiny Kevin making dumb decisions. But as it moved towards the field scene. ..you start to see how ppl have objectified him since high school. He gave a terrible speech and still had cheers and fans. The field was him explaining the context of all his success and failure. It’s constant ups and downs. The ups are great but then he feels pressure. He doesn’t deserve good opportunities, but they land in his lap, each one bigger and better. He’s sabotaging it each time because he knows he’s done nothing to deserve it.

+1. We are starting to see how insecure he is and how little he thinks of himself.

+2. We are also now starting to see how his holding Randall and his mom (guessing on the latter) at arm's length has made it worse for him.

This show has been so disappointing this year. I wish we could just have a show that focused on Randall and his family rather than treating the other two siblings as equal storylines.
