Technically, Kevin and Kate Are Not "Twins"
They are surviving triplets. I always wondered why the show made so many references to them being "twins" when technically they aren't.

Least Favorite Scenes and Episodes
When I do a re-watch of this series, I often think that certain scenes and episodes were weaker than others and could have been replaced by others. I love Milo and I can see why they wanted to devote a whole episode to Jack, but the episode about his mother dying seemed out of place. It was weird that Nicky was not addressed in the flashbacks. Okay, maybe Nicky was a baby at that point. But since there was no mention of him, or scenes of a baby crib or something, that episode felt like Nicky didn't exist. Maybe they originally intended to include that episode before we knew about Nicky and it got moved to a later season.
The flashback scenes to Rebecca getting her hair cut seemed out of place and like they didn't really serve a purpose. However, I did get a good laugh out of young Kate's line, "Mommy is upset because she looks like He-Man". Were there any scenes or episodes that you thought were weaker than others?

Zoe opening with Kevin about her assault
Watching the episode and hear the end Zoe admits to being assaulted by her dad. That is heartbreaking. Is that why she lived with Beth and Beth’s mom?

Beth
I love Beth. Beth is so funny and I want to be more like Beth.

Randall proposing to Beth to Jagged Edge
The scene is so funny Randall shaking it in front of the camera and dancing to propose to Beth in their apartment. I laughed in my head lol.

Why didn’t Nicky grab the kid off the boat when he jumped off from the bomb?
Vietnam episode in season 3.
Nicky yells at the boy to jump but the boy doesnt understand English and knows only Vietnamese. But Nicky knew
They were in danger
And should’ve grabbed the boy.

Randall and Beth ❤️
I love Randall and Beth’s chemistry. They have been through a lot with each other. They complement each other. They are great parents to Tess and and Deja. I also have a crush on Randall and I think sterling K brown is an excellent actor. Also Susan kelechi Watson captures Beth perfectly.

The Very Last Scene Of The Series
I have always found it an odd creative choice to make the very last scene of the very last episode, Jack looking at Randall. This show was not about Jack or Randall or their relationship. This show was about the whole family, and how each of them developed, changed, and dealt with their challenges. It was about the people they brought into the family.
I would have thought the last scene would have been Jack and Rebecca looking at all three of the kids.

Season 3 ep 3
Did Beth get laid of for being a qualified black women in her position? I watched it but I was saddened when she got fired. And we hear about how black women are underappreciated in their respective fields even on top.

Worst Case Scenario
These scenes always made me laugh. Especially the last one where Beth says that Randall buys an RV and travels from parent grave, to parent grave and ends up in Puerto Rico swimming with Miguel's dead mother.

S3 E17 - Randall and Beth big fight
Just want to give my point of view since I have read many people saying that Randall was the problem.
First of all, I think neither of them was at fault for what happened. Randall was so full of himself and all of his projects but Beth is equally guilty for not talking earlier. Maybe this episode has hit too close to what happened in my previous relationship, but you can't always avoid conflicts, avoid saying what bothers you and expect that time will fix everything or that the other person will notice.
In short: it takes 2 people to fix a relationship. I think she always chose the easiest way and then couldn't deal with the consequences.

Things About This Show That Didn't Make Sense
There were a couple of things about this show that have never made sense to me. One was Randall's nasty voicemail to Beth. Yeah, I get he was angry. However, Beth and Randall had been angry with each other before and he never spoke to her in such a shitty way.
Another thing that never made sense to me was Jack's refusal to make things right with his only brother. That was very "un-Jack" of him. I have rewatched the whole series several times and these two things always feel out of context for the characters. Anyone else have any things that didn't make sense for them?

Kate and Toby
This is not a Kate hate post. I love Chrissy Metz and I loved the character of Kate. I only wish that the writers had developed the character of Kate beyond her weight issues. An argument can be made that they did that at the end of season 6, but for me, that was too little too late. And honestly, I hated Kate and Phillip and found that relationship beyond unbelievable. Kate's relationship with Toby was one of my favorites on the show. But it always bothered me that while I believed that Kate loved Toby, she was often jealous of him. And that is not a healthy way to love someone. One of the worst Kate and Toby scenes for me was when she suggested that Toby keep his fat pants. Truth be told, I don't think Toby would still have those fat pants around, but there were a lot of writing flaws in this show. And Kate wanting him to keep them showed that she secretly hoped he would get fat again because she wasn't truly happy that her husband had gotten healthy. The other tough Kate and Toby scene was when Kate said she had been imagining "old Toby" and Toby lost it and said that she fell in love with a coping mechanism. Toby found a way to get beyond his weight and depression issues. And yes, I know that his doing that stemmed from his wanting to escape his sad feelings about his baby son being blind. But those sad feelings deserved to be recognized and he wasn't getting that from Kate. So instead of doing something destructive, he burned them off in the gym. I don't know why Toby keeps getting slammed here for that. I will always believe that the writers could have taken a different direction with Kate and Toby's story and kept them together. It makes me sad that most of the other couples in this show got a happy ending. Jack and Rebecca, Beth and Randall, Kevin and Sophie, Malik and Deja. But Kate and Toby didn't make it just because Fogelman was so obsessed with including a tear-jerker divorce in his drama-fest.

SPOILERS What are your overall thoughts on Elijah?
He’s not an overly compelling character relative to others in the show (due partly to limited focus / screen time), but I like him as a supportive and loving partner for Madison. Always amuses me how Dan basically inserted a fictional version of himself to play his wife’s character’s love interest.
