I liked the episode too and also wondered (I think as intended) about new characters being Miguel parents …did not think enough about the 1963 dates.

I agree Madison not appreciative enough . I’ll give her some slack for now because it can’t be easy to carry and deliver twins. Raising them with Kevin being there most of the time will be lots easier than being single mom. It is fortunate situation that they don’t need to worry about money, at least not yet. How wealthy is Kevin? (maybe he gets royalties from reruns of The Manny Nanny sitcom

Am I the only one wondering if Mr. Parking spot 157 was Dr K?

2703

Yup. Just you. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Dr. K would be about 115 now. And his wife was named Carolyn.

LOL, I thought about it being Dr. K too but a quick bit of math said NO. :slight_smile:

2705

I remember him from Council of Dads!

2706

Ah, that’s why he looked familiar! Thanks
@NJWrestlingmom.

And @skieurope, after 90, all old folks look the same age to me, LOL

Mandy Moore just had a baby boy, August, “Gus.”. Great name.

Did others notice the Dairy Queen ad that came on after Beth and Randall stopped at DQ? :sweat_smile:

I noticed it!

The episode was sweet but dragged a bit for my taste.

Who do we think was in the car?

2712

My guess is it’s Toby and Kate’s kids, Jack and Hailey Rose because we saw them in a future scene. The mystery is still about Kate and Madison. It could be one of them.

I need me a DQ Blizzard. :sweat_smile:

I am not one to tear down This Is Us for flawed storylines BUT it was driving me crazy that these just released moms were driving a car right at discharge (didn’t they tell us something like 10 days before we could drive? I had all vaginal deliveries and was told not to drive right away) AND babies born 6 weeks early would not likely be discharged with mom - oh well!! :slight_smile:

I had NO clue that that was Deja - and then of course Annie - meeting Tess at the house. Wow, shocker. We were trying to figure out the timeline…I feel like the BIG 3 look quite a bit older in these house scenes - more than 10 years older than “now” - which is basically 40.

But Deja is “now” around 16? She was either a med student or resident in that scene…med student she might have been 22-26…resident 26-30 or so…that would be minimum of 6 years later, maximum of 14 years later…I don’t remember - do we have a year or age of the Big 3 when the house scene is occurring?

Going to look at the link above about the flash forward clues.

Also laughing that every time here on CC types Madison, it gets highlighted…

I think the 10 year timeline was based on Kevin stating his fiance was pregnant then his son looking about 10 in last season’s flash forward.

2717

Yeah, the women driving home made me wince.

Oh, definitely read the “flash forward facts” posted by @tx5athome a few posts up. No spoilers, just a collection of all the flash forward moments to help draw some clarity.

Two things:

  1. Maybe Kevin’s son is 10 there? I think he could look younger.
  2. Isn’t next season the last season? (6) I feel like there is LOTS that has to happen/develop with only a little over a season left. This show tends to wrap up earlier than most shows.

Yes, the driving thing was ridiculous. Also, Jack being able to buy whiskey at a gas station in Pennsylvania! But it wouldn’t be This Is Us without an occasional head scratcher.

2720

Jack must have driven home from Pittsburgh through Michigan to buy whisky at the gas station!
