[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t cried during This Is Us for a long time, but the end of this one did me in.

At the same time I wish they hadn’t waited till almost the end of the series to give us more of Miguel’s back story.  [/quote]

Just so poignant.  I love Miguel.  But agree, it feels like the writers realized all of a sudden that they hadn’t given Miguel his due and so decided to cram it all into one episode.  [/quote]

I think it was actually more “meta” than that—deliberately underscoring how overlooked stepparents tend to be when they enter an entrenched family dynamic (Kevin’s line about never having asked Miguel about himself).  The show itself mirrored that dynamic. I thought they did a good job planting the seeds that would grow into this full episode. Jon Huertas was really wonderful in this ep. Agree with a pp, first time I’ve cried since the early seasons. The last few scenes were really beautiful.

Do hate all the unnecessary discontinuities though. We know Miguel also had a daughter, so please acknowledge her existence, even if it’s a short “I’m glad my relationship with my daughter is ok now but I haven’t talked to my son on 5 years.” How hard would that have been?[/quote]
It was weird. We saw her in the flashback sitting on the stairs with her brother, while the parents were fighting, but it was unclear at the end if the woman with Miguel's son was his wife or his sister. [/quote]
