[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s going to be Sophie. Obvious not Cassidy and I think Kevin is relegated to Madison and Elijah being together (“If she says she doesn’t want anything, just buy her something”).[/quote]

I'm the PP who wrote this and this last episode only reinforces my belief that it'll be Sophie.[/quote]

I hope to God not. That would be the pinnacle of this show's worst feature-- the whole over-the-top Super Dad/Soulmate crap. The true beauty of the show is in the small, real life moments. The only time I really loved Jack was when he was cleaning up the kitchen after the Super Bowl on the night of the fire. It showed the small, overlooked ways we care for and show love for those close to us.

That's what also makes me hope and believe that Madison is the end game. Kevin is showing love for her in those little, unrecognized ways. He doesn't even recognize himself, yet. He thinks love is the big romantic flourishes, but he's already loving her with his thoughtfulness and small, unselfish acts.

If the writers put Kevin with Sophie at the end, they will have remarkably missed the most important message of the show.

(Also, if Sophie were the end game, she would have been helping Kate get ready for her second wedding, but she's not there. Madison is.)[/quote]

PP again. Also, we know that Kate and Toby get divorced. Toby is the master of the big gesture, but in the end, that's not what made a happy, loving marriage. Toby is blowing up his marriage by missing out on all the small stuff and not recognizing that a big birthday gesture doesn't make up for that.

I think, also, over the course of the show, that Jack and Rebecca's marriage was strong not because of Jack's flowery speeches or anything like that. It was because through good and bad, he was there, doing his part. They listened to each other, shared their thoughts and feelings, were mindful of the other's contributions, and shared the burden and joys of the thousands of moments that go into raising children.[/quote]

True, but there relationship had romance and depth before children and they were able to sustain it through commitment and attention to the little things. Kevin wasn't mature enough to do that with Sophie, since he only understand the grand romance part. I think they can and will reunite, once he realizes his inability to be part of a love that was both mature and romantic. Although I do think he has feelings for Madison, there's never been one ounce of a romantic spark there.[/quote]

+100
It will be Sophie in the end.  I have forgotten - when did he and Sophie get back together and why did they break up again?  Not when they were newly married, but later when they reconnected.  It's been awhile![/quote]
