Yes, and yes.



Kate and Philip might be the fakest-seeming couple I've ever seen on tv. The actor playing Philip tries, but it's just not remotely plausible.


I wish they would have matched Kate with someone more like the old Toby. She still has more chemistry with Toby than Phillip, even at their worst moments. She is so unlikeable. I feel like they had her character moving in the right direction towards some redeemable qualities and then...nope.


She and Toby were so great together. Philip is milquetoast in comparison.

Was it for sure a bridesmaid dress? If so, this is even more stupid.

This is shaping up to be as dumb a reveal as the whole Kate/Philip storyline.



Not it's not, just a blue dress. See the link a few posts up.


It’s a flowered dress.


^^It being the bridesmaid’s dresses.

Frankly, she's been dour and unlikeable in every time period, kids included. She's just kind of miserable.

Absolutely. She and Philip have all the chemistry of a wet pile of hay.

Right. How does that square with hooking up with someone? Even if the hookup took place the night before, after the rehearsal dinner, the woman would go back to her own room to dress and do makeup.


She’s in the shower, people!



Except we hear no water running and Madison and Beth have no qualms about snooping in his room at that time?


Wait, what did I miss? Madison taking photos of clothes/bra? When was that?



It's in the preview for the next week's episode.

Ok, it looks like Kevin is looking back at a woman dressed in green. Don't know what Sophie is wearing but there is a young blonde in green sitting somewhere behind him.

I'm really annoyed at the regression in his story arc with series of women in the flashes forward. Seems to go against the character development he had when he flew with the twins back to Pittsburgh. What up with that?


I agree. It doesn’t make sense that he would waste his time with a series of bimbos when he has his two children to parent part-time.



The beauty of co-parenting is 50% of your time is completely your own. Shooting the Manny reboot one day a week? He's got plenty of time.


It’s not about having the time but being a good role model like his dad.



The women all seem nice, they're just young and not impressive in any way.


That is true, but they're treated by the family like objects of mockery, which is not cool. Even if they think it's Kevin that they're ribbing, it only works under the premise that the women are not worthy of consideration.




From the EPs:
DEADLINE: Five or so years into the future, Kevin appears further than ever from finding his true love and very close to the playboy we met in the pilot. Will that change by the time we get to the definitive flash-forward at his house, and should we read into the longing looks he gave Sophie at Kate’s wedding?

APTAKER & BERGER: Kevin’s always been our guy who takes one step forward only to take two big steps backwards. And it’s definitely safe to say he backslid a bit romantically after Madison ended things. Obviously, Sophie has held a special place in his heart for decades now. Maybe those were just longing looks they gave each other at Kate’s engagement party or maybe there’s still another chapter of their story to be told.

Kevin’s two “mwage” speech rehearsals in front of the mirror could be at different times. We only see the sink with the women’s toiletries and the rest of the hotel room at the second one.
