This is Us- Season six

[prairie_girl]

As others have said, we never got confirmation that Kate was with Jack on her way to the house. That’s why there was so much speculation that she had died, despite seeing her in the future at Jacks concert lol

Personally, I’m glad we didn’t see a mystery Kyle. How would we have learned anything of his story with so little time left? It would have almost seemed cheesy (in my opinion) if he was there.

I cried all the way through - brilliant, beautiful, incredible episode...

 

[BroadwayHermione5]

I did think for a minute that it was going to be the Christmas hospital visit, especially because the snow globe had been mentioned. I think they just like to keep us guessing.


And it's definitely a series I would watch again! There's just so much in it.

I also think subconsciously we heard Christmas so naturally we thought christmas

can I be honest with you? While I’m not someone who has lost a child, I do know others who have. It’s different for each person. None of us fully know their thoughts on Kyle, but I think Dr. K mentioning him, and Mandy’s reactions in the moment showed us the closure she needed in that moment.

 

[BroadwayHermione5]

I thought it wonderful because she had the best death possible, a peaceful one surrounded by family and friends after a long and fulfilling life. I cried not for her but for those like my dad who didn't get that gift.

I’m so sorry

 

[BroadwayHermione5]

Was anyone else thinking that Marcus was going to be Deja’s grandchild? It was a huge shock to me that they interacted with Jack…and right before he died too

YES! Or somehow related to Deja or Malik

 

[BroadwayHermione5]

I was not a fan of the writers changing directions on the Kate storyline. The previous flash forwards always had her driving with Jack to the house. I also don’t believe that she managed to finish college, get a Master’s, design internationally successful educational programs, be a single mom with a disabled child, get remarried, etc, it’s just not her personality that we have been shown even with her growth in the series.

I loved William and Dr K! It was all so bittersweet and now I am tearing up again.

In terms of the masters and everything: a lot of time passed between her marriage to Philip (2026) and Rebecca’s passing (someone mentioned on here 2032? Maybe 2042?) while the bachelors/masters and working for the state in a 4 year time span is a little bit of what I like to call Hollywood magic (not the degree part-considering she has an associates the bachelors to masters can be done in 3 years in most states), the taking it internationally makes sense given the amount of time, especially if it’s 2042

I haven't found a list, so I decided to screenshot the frame and make our own:


Top row:
bottles that would be actually be in a bar
Dad mug - we've definitely seen this
smaller bottle between mugs - is this something?
Lundy mug - from the first construction company Jack worked for
yarn - from the Thanksgiving tradition where they toss it to each other *
trolley car - from the episode where they see the Mr. Rogers show

2nd row:
Steelers on TV - lots of references
pink flowers next to TV - is this anything?
DVDs - what movie? - a character commented on DVDs in the old cabin recently
the terrible towel - from the pilot episode

3rd row:
peanut brittle?? - does anyone remember that in any episode?
white flower in silver vase - is that anything?
fancy dish - I think maybe it's the cranberry sauce from the Thanksgiving episode
cupcake - from Jack's 36th birthday
lemons - major theme, of course


* edited - thanks @anniemae

Wow such a powerful episode all the way through

Really wanted to see Nicky's goodbye. Would have loved to see Kyle.

Loved how she waited for Kate and how they used the speaker. It was just so well done. Also loved when she laid down and said "hey" to Jack.

So moving.

I thought the yarn was from the Thanksgiving episode where they threw the ball of yarn around the table saying what they were thankful for.

Really great interview with Mandy Moore

 

[Breezy_Carol]

Loved this episode! So well done.

I pop in here to read when I have questions but don't post often. You all are serious watchers.

No sign of Kyle?

Was that the triplet that died?

-I too thought they spent too much time on the Brooks family, although I did appreciate the storyline and how they brought it back full circle to the Alzheimer's treatment.

I was confused by this because somehow I thought Marcus and Malik were the same person. I guess not.

Deja and Malik.

So Deja became a doctor and was still with Malik, also a doctor? This is where I got him and Marcus confused.

Malik has a restaurant. He even confirmed it when he said “I got the text and left the restaurant asap”

 

[Disneychick13]

Perfection. I cried for the entire episode. Rebecca waiting for Kate…..and then the “hey” at the end….I can’t imagine what next week will bring because this episode was so well done it could have been the finale.

 

[anniemae]

I have a question. People on this thread have said a few times that they are going to "six feet under us" next week. What does that mean? I think it was a show, but I'm not sure.

I took that to mean that he was just out for dinner.

 

[DisneyLover1217]

I'm guessing they have the bed in the caboose, because both Jack and Rebecca die in bed? I guess, also it could be as someone mentioned upthread they had a lot of conversations while lying in bed.

Six feet under was an HBO show and has one of the most critically acclaimed finales of a tv series.
It follows a family who runs a funeral home. So in a fitting end it did quick flashforward of how the main characters all passed away. Some showed what they did before hand, others did not.

I took that to mean that he was just out for dinner.

No he wanted to be a chef. I believe when she went to him that one time they mentioned it.

They tried to fool us with lab guy. I too thought she ended up with him.
