I'm dying to know what happened to the dad. Think he's very hot, too. Loved when Kate made the bratty boss's daughter get out of the car, and also the empowered way she handled the aftermath of it. (Even though it was a bit unrealistic. A parent like that probably would file charges on you for dumping the girl or of the car.)

I found it highly realistic that she dumped the kid and faced no repercussions. That just wouldn't happen no matter how annoying the child was.

Randall is an amazing character. I find the dad (Jack?) very interesting, too.

I am too. Enough already.

I think SHE is tired of it too. I think the show is pointing out, if you're different, this stuff finds you. Here she is, getting a new job, doing great at it, nothing to do with her size. And the rude teen brings it up.

I am not overweight. But have talked with friends who are, and you know, I think they're tired of it. I think they face it sometimes, but most of the time they want to focus on other stuff.

So it's going to keep being a storyline. It's a part of her, it affects her. And even when she wants to focus on other aspects of her self, it comes back.

I understand that but it is boring to watch.

Eh I don't care about Jack's storyline, I just like seeing his arms. I'd still jump his bones. If I could jump.

Maybe I'm just the wrong generation, but I don't understand this Jack/Milo love. He just seems like a short, scrawny guy. What's the appeal? No, I never watched Gilmore Girls.

Same. He's very plain/ Not ugly, not hot, just... plain. Unremarkable. I don't get it.

I'm 45 and never watched "Gilmore Girls" or "Heroes" but still LOVE Milo! I usually like clean-cut men, but even with that scruff, Milo is seriously hot.

NP. I'm 48 and recently binge-watched all the Gilmore Girls seasons. I *loved* Milo as Jess, but am surprisingly not that into him on This is Us. It must be the greasy hair and mustache turning me off. And I had forgotten how short he is.

I don't think it's boring. I think her facial expressions are amazing to watch, she conveys so much without talking.

I also think it's part of a really interesting larger arc--these three kids all raised in the same house, but all turning out so differently. How much is genetic, how much is parental/societal expectation. How did it affect their relationships with mom and dad.

Also, and I'm not sure why, but I do love Jami Gertz and hope the Marin character continues to show up.

I am the bone jumping poster. I'm 47 and never saw him in any other show. So i just guess small wirey men with long dirty hair are my type!

This last episode was great. I loved watching Randall and jack. Jack sacrificed his dream for Randall and here Randall was in the future doubting who he had become. I loved the tie ritual that they had. The bond between them was lovely to watch and then seeing Randall in the end admitting he loves what he does and who he is.

Yes. I am overweight (need to lose 75-100lbs) and my weight affects everything. My interactions with people, my self esteem, my relationships, my feelings of self worth. Unless you are seriously overweight, you have no idea how is affects a person.

Agree with this. I don't need to necessarily see it on my escapism shows though.

How is seeing Kate's struggle any different than seeing Randall's struggle with racial issues?

I also like Kate's storyline quite a bit. Each of the kids has something that becomes a major focal point in their adult lives and it's interesting to see how their parents' actions influenced them. What's debilitating as children becomes a strength if they can find a way to face it honestly and use it. "I want you to stand out."

I think the poster was objecting because she said she had her own personal weight struggles going on and didn't turn on the tv to be reminded of this. Which I think I can see, though I never personalize anything on TV so, maybe not.
