    Back with a Bang

    Probably their best episode ever. The last two scenes and parting shot is really heart-wrenching. Brilliantly acted too. Milo Ventimiglia's understated acting affects the scenes in the best way. It's funny how they've made us aware of the demise from the first season but we're still on the edge of our seats hoping it won't come.

    I really love how they show depth to even the least complicated relationships.

      Rebecca Pearson: You are my husband and I am your wife and if you have a problem we will fix it together. I just need you to get in the car so we can go home. Everything's gonna be fine. Jack, look at me. Few months from now everything will be back to normal.
