This Is Us 01X11 review contains spoilers

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.

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I am taking part in the weekly memes  The Sunday Post hosted by caffeinatedbookreviewer and Stacking The Shelves hosted by .tyngasreviews . I have had a great time coming up with the updates for these posts in the last few weeks and so I will keep doing them. Life This week was crazy for me because I had a a work blog due. While I enjoyed doing the post, it was more research than I had allotted for, so I just needed to spend more time on the blog than normal. Other than that it was an easy week. I got some read in and I got a new chapter up for my fanfic. Yesterday, we spent a lot of time in the backyard and shoveling stone for the yard. Read I just finished China Rich Girlfriend earlier today! All For One Alex &Eliza #3 is still so much fun and I think it is my favorite book of the trilogy still. Currently, I am on page 184/391 I read some The Princess and the Fangirl and I am 50% done. Rather than pushing it for the next few days, I deci...

    Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose of this meme was to bring the book blogging community together and foster our love of lists. Each week, Jana posts a topic, and we readers respond based on that prompt. This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release. I loved this book, and I knew when I read it that it had the potential to be...

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I will link up to  The Sunday Post  hosted by  /caffeinatedbookreviewer  and Stacking the Shelves hosted by  tyngasreviews . Life This week was busier than usual because I ended up going to Peter Pan Jr rehearsals in the afternoon so I could  work with the music cues. The show opens this coming Friday, and this week is Tech Week, which is a four days where the cast will be able to work with lights, sound, mics, costumes, makeup, and basically run the show and get notes. The cast is 3rd-8th graders. I've been helping for years and I love it, although because I love Peter Pan, I have a soft spot for this show in particular. Other than that it was a relaxing week. Read I started Rich People Problems by  Kevin Kwan on Monday. I am 21% done, and I already love this book. I might not love it as much as I loved China Rich Girlfriend, but it's still early.  All For One was the plan to finish last week, but I still have ...
