[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t it strange Randall is the only one to have a normal relationship but obviously had more issues growing up?

The only relationship I’m even remotely interested in is Kevin’s.

Some of the episodes are long and the connections of past and future could have been made in a shorter time frame. It’s almost like they are just trying to fill in episodes to give a full season.[/quote]

I actually don't think Randall had more issues growing up than the other two. He had many unanswered questions about his origin and kept looking for roots (stopping Black couples in the grocery store to see if they could roll their tongues), but I think he was better adjusted mostly because once he went to the gifted school, he had a real anchor. On top of that, he was especially close to Rebecca and could confide in her. I think Kevin had one dream (football) that shattered, and then Jack died. He always felt shuffled aside by his parents. Kate was overshadowed by both brothers and her path after Jack's death was unfocused. I think Randall is also simply more thoughtful - like his mother - and made deliberate choices to connect to Beth and work at it. I don't think we saw the fallout for Randall once Jack died because he stepped up to take care of Rebecca. I doubt we have time for that the remainder of this season, but maybe his loss of his Dad was what compelled him to seek out William.[/quote]
