Yep, what I'm really really rooting for is for Milo and Justin to be nominated for Best Actor, and Mandy to be nominated for Best Actress!! They all deserve the recognition SO MUCH. I adore Sterling K. Brown of course, but now that he's won pretty much every award possible haha, it's time for Milo, Justin and Mandy to get their due recognition. The whole cast is amazing, but those three have slayed this season.
What I have learned from This Is Us: 1) Be paranoid about your slow cooker 2) Make sure you have batteries and working smoke alarms 3) Have a fire escape plan Growing up my parents kept rope ladders under the beds in the rooms who had the tallest windows. That way if you have to escape, you have something to get you down (if you don't have time to tie bedsheets together).
articgoneape i too decided I need to do all of those things, and also put all our most valuable things all together and organized so I can get them fast if needed if they are not already totaled. But would I run back into a burning building to retrieve them, probably not. My kids certainly need me more than they need that stuff!
Agreed!! Two weeks ago, a family a few blocks from our house, their house burnt down. They had no insurance and they lost two of their cats and most of everything. Surprisingly, they were able to recover their VHS tapes (had old home video footage of their kids, etc) and also memory books that were stored and tucked away. Fire didn't touch them. Then watching This Is Us, got me thinking even more! I think it is time to invest in a Fireproof safe and also some fire extinguishers in our closets and other parts of the house to be safe.
I thought there had been hints that the fire and Jack's death were related to Jack's drinking. I'm so very happy and relieved to know they weren't. Just another household tragic accident. Not the Crock Pot's fault; not the wash cloth's fault. A faulty switch, no batteries in the smoke alarms; and just like regular people, we often forget or ignore the seemingly simple things. Any appliance plugged into an electrical outlet could go bad and start a terrible chain of events. But I'll bet most of us don't unplug our coffee makers, digital clocks, ovens, refrigerators, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, computers, monitors, cordless telephones, microwave ovens, clothes washers and dryers every evening when we go to bed or leave the house. ONE appliance in the Pearson home had a fault that was known. It was turned off (faulty switch) but not unplugged. Obviously they've done the same thing time and time again with no issues. It only takes once to become a tragedy. There really isn't any blame to be placed; except maybe the "real people" (the characters of the show) for using a Crock Pot with a faulty switch for how many years, for not changing the batteries in the smoke detectors. But you know, "This Is Us" portrays a family as people, regular human beings, who are fallible -- just as we all are. I wish Jack would have let the dog die and the photo album and video burn; but that is not who Jack is.
I love Milo now has three very prominent and memorable characters under his belt: -Gilmore Girls: Jess -Heroes: Peter Petrelli and now Jack Pearson He's doing very well for himself
I get a knot in my throat and have to fight back bawling my eyes out everytime I think of that episode! I genuinely admire and love Jack. Even though I know this is a show it feels all too real. This Is Us truly is an amazing show and unlike most shows it is so real. It is one of the few shows that can captivate it's audience while addressing so many issues in the world today.
I've my sem end tomorrow and I started this is us three days back. And after Three days of binge watching, sacrificing the sleep for two straight nights...I can say this is hands down one of the best shows I've ever watched and I don't regret a bit for losing the sleep. I was awestruck by the sheer brilliance of the show, its simplicity and yet genius is what makes our great. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions where you laugh, cry, smile, enjoy, mourn with the characters and every single scene seems so relatable that you feel like you're one of the them. You feel like this is YOU, THIS IS US. Not to mention the haunting background score that just makes you go through the ride with little more of feels and emotions.
This is why I really love this show. Usually when a character dies in a tv show, like their contracts done you don’t see them. I’m so happy we still get to see Jack in flashbacks☺️
+musicaltheatergeek79 um..yeah? Never said he wasn’t. I’m saying I’m happy we STILL get to see him. Like usually when shows kill off a character they’re done. But not this show, thankfully.
I absolutely LOVE This Is Us!! I was more emotional than I've ever been over any show. Recently losing my 3 children's father and seeing the funeral scenes and how the family was affect really got my heart!💔😥 But I love the show! I loved this episode...really both parts Sunday and yesterday!!!!
Because of this episode, I went and bought stickers for all of my doors and windows to notify firemen that I have pets inside! Thank you for sharing🇨🇦😘❤️👍🏻
As a Patriots fan, I'm glad I recorded This is Us instead of watching it right after their loss. It would have been way too much for me to handle both losses in the same night.
Sasha V and the actor who plays Logan is in a new show called The Resident, and the actor who plays Luke (ironically) has a successful coffee brand. Suki was played by Melissa McCarthy so obviously she super famous like being in the new ghostbusters. They have all grown up and are moving on. ☹️
It's so sad because I didn't know about the crockpot and I bought a slow cooker online (there was great deal at Macy's) hours prior to catching up with the latest episode :'(
Didn’t know people actually left slow cookers plugged in. I though everyone just put it in the cabinet when it’s not being used just like pots and pans
