This Is Us 01X11
Airdate: 01/10/17
Rating :*****( 5 stars)
The episode started with Jack a teen or at least a pre-teen and it showed how his father used to be abusive to his mother. The next scene also in the past is when Rebecca and Jack got their own house, and they both really love the house they’re getting it ready for the babies. Back in the present Toby is in the hospital, but he is alive. Kate and Toby are playing strip poker in the hospital, but Kate refuses to strip when the doctor comes in. Oliva comes back and she says that she has changed, and she wants to be back in the play and she wants to date Kevin again. Jesse William’s boyfriend and Randell are trying to get to know each other better. In the past Rebecca sends out Jack for Ice Cream, but instead, he goes to see his father for alone of money. William says that Jesse has been taking him to go see state funded nursing homes; because he doesn’t want his cancer to be a burden for Randell and his family. The episode ended with Jack and Rebecca in a new house that Jack had brought for them, a bigger one and you as the viewer are to assume that it was with his father mother that was given to Jack.
I find the writing on this show so great, and I love it so much I think that it is some of the best writing on TV today. This was a show that was filled with so many quotable moments, and I loved all the writing on the show. “So is this the moment when we find out if we’re having a boy of a girl?”-Jack “we have what I like to call artnerships.”-Kevin “ No no it’s an exciting thing.”-Jack “I don’t know I heard other New Yorkers slam it and I wanted to fit in.” -Kevin “I brought you guys here to distract me, and you’re doing a terrible job.”-Kate “Who are you, and what have you done with my wife?” -Jack
I loved this episode, and there was really nothing that I didn’t  like about this show in the typical This Is Us fashion, there was nothing really wrong with this episode. I loved the scenes in the past where you got to see how Jack and Rebecca brought their first house, and how they brought another house that was bigger when they found out they were having triplets. I loved the scenes in the present in particular the Toby and Kate scenes, and the fact that Toby told Kate he loved her and then later she told him she loved him back. I loved that we got more backstory into the kinds of parents that Jack and Rebecca came from. I think that Slone and Kevin are just adorable, and I hope that their relationship expands on the show.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday - Unpopular Bookish opinions

Welcome Back! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  thatartsyreadergirl . This week the top is unpopular bookish opinions, was submitted by Kaitlin Galvan at  somehowimanageablog . I don't think I have that many unpopular opinions, but We'll see if I can get to ten. I do not mean this to be a personal attack. I know some of these will get into beloved areas of book community, so take these as just my opinions. 1- I have only read one Harry Potter book, and will probably never read the rest. Yes, I know how odd this makes me sound. I was a Twilight kid, and I preferred those over Harry Potter. I have see all the movies, and I want to read Fantastic Beast, as I believe I will love that world and those characters more. 2- I hate mystery and horror novels. I know how odd this might sound to some people. I'm just not a fan because they creep me out and I am more skittish than most people. This is a beloved genre, so I think this is an Unpopular opinion? The exception to thi...
