    Milo

    Milo Ventimiglia, makes me lose it every time, in this particular episode, his tears in the car, that actor is brilliant, haunted by a powerful past surely, kinda like in the show, the character and the actor are perfect together, this show got a great cast, writers, producers, immensely talented actors, and it knows it, it's just brilliant, the story is just talking about life, so emotionnally, the cinematography and the music from siddhartha khosla are fitting it so well. At times some episodes arent as good as the others, but man it is a show, it needs build up, and still: every episode I shed a tear or way more.

    BORING!

    I loved season 1 and 1/2 of season 2. This is us is getting so boring! I don't so care going back in like Jack's childhood of Jack's and Rebecca's first love scene. The scenario is going nowhere! Jack is dead and please MOVE ON with season 3.

    Disappointment and Elation

    With Toby finally getting up and around, we have some assuredness that this relationship will settle down. Audio, the dog, plays an important part in this. There are two principle stories. Rebecca wants to go to Los Angeles to meet with music people (to be discovered, if you will). So she and Jack head off. Jack has a visit he wants to make, and Rebecca naively thinks she is so good she will be embraced by this gigantic record industry. Her audition goes Ok but does she have anything that makes her stand out? Apparently, nothing that they see. In the third story, Kevin and Zoe are off to Vietnam to try to find a woman who may have been involved with Jack during the war. And the war takes over as Jack searches for his brother, who is really messed up. Now, there are some disappointments in these developments but for each there is growth.

    • Trivia
      First episode with no Kate or Randall appearance
    • Goofs
      In other episodes people say that Jack and Rebecca have only known each other for a week before they go to L.A. When they meet he only had 9 bucks, and is unemployed so it seems odd that a week later he has enough money to pay for hotels, food and gas to get to L.A and back. However, he could have had some saved money still left that he didn't gamble and lose due to being robbed. His mom could have had savings, and he could lend from her and/or her friend. He also was repairing cars of people he knew and asking them to recommend him to their friends, so he could have earned some money that way, too.
