Susan Kelechi Watson was so amazing in this episode. Her goodbye to Rebecca just destroyed me. And then her conversation with Randall about Deja being pregnant made me laugh. Her performance as Beth over the entire series was just masterful. I want her to be in all the things I watch from now on! More Susan! Put her in every movie and TV show!
I agree with you about Susan's acting. I'm no fan of Hollywood in general, but she really got to me. I have my issues with this series, and am not crazy in love with some of the characters, but this episode was so well done! Congratulations to everyone who worked on "This is Us"
I don't know if you've seen it or not but she's in the "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" movie with Tom Hanks. Of course she has one of the best lines in it delivering in only her way of, "Mr. Rogers knows my name!!!"
I agree it was sad but it was also so hauntingly beautiful - it was so unexpected too. I feel like Mandy Moore deserves an Emmy. For sure the writing and directing of that episode also deserves Emmy’s! Everything about it was beautiful. It was one of the best pieces of television I’ve ever experienced. Just beautiful. 💜
It was the 1st episode that I actually liked a bit. Im not a This Is Us big fan. I have sorta binged thru it just to see how they end 'the series of weekly tears' and how they end Alzheimers dx (yes, Ima RN who has taken care of a few dementia patients). Making some of the past characters into train employees was nice. Glad to see that Katie made her flight in time to say goodbye. I had a rocky relationship with a mom. I came, I binged, Im glad it is over.
I had the privilege to be there for my grandma. We played it out similarly, with the immediate family going through pictures and telling stories around her bed. I can attest that they DO still hear you. Gram opened her eyes once and nodded to me when I talked to her, and she reached up and grabbed my cousin's hand without opening her eyes when he bent down to tell her goodbye.
Agree it was absolutely beautiful this whole show has been one of kind I've never seen anything so beautifully written and performed and I feel it will be a long time if ever we will see anything close to this great again!! Going to miss it so much !
Through all the seasons I’ve felt like this show was about the death of Jack and how his death affected the family. But now I know that really this has all been about Rebecca. Her strength, courage, and beauty in the face of loss and life. Love this show and will definitely miss it once it’s gone.
I was just thinking about this. I feel like it's such a brilliant and beautiful depiction of motherhood through Rebecca's story. The flashbacks are all about her building her family but kind of in the shadow always of Jack - the obvious hero. And when the kids grow up they often don't appreciate her and she starts to fade - both her story in those episodes and her actually mind in the story. And slowly her relationship with her kids heals and they start to recognize her again. It's just really stunning and subtle and impecible!
I totally see your view but I don't think it's been ALL about Rebecca all along. I mean, this episode depicts the death of the matriarch of the family very beautifully. However, I think the show is as much about Jack and the Big 3 as it is about Rebecca. At least that's how I see it.
The entire show is about A family, each family member and life as we know it. I’m pretty sure, everyone watching this show could see their own story somewhere throughout episodes… this show is really about us all…#ThisisUs
She was waiting for her little bug... I cried so much I couldn't breath! When Randall said "Tell him hey" and Rebeca and Jack see each other in the afterlife... I had such a knot in my throat that I had to repeat myself "they are actors, it's not real, calm down!" Thank you for this masterpiece!!
Yes! I loved the line, when the Doc said, "I was only your doctor once." (in no way dismissing that time in the scene), and Rebecca says, "Ya, but it was a big one". Something about that hit me - how impactful just ONE BIG experience together can be on a lifetime and connection
Sadly, my best friend who introduced this show to me ("You've GOT to watch it!", she'd enthusiastically tell me) passed away 3 years ago. While watching this episode I found myself talking to her. Berta, what do you think? Isn't this a great ending for her and Jack? And then I cried for many layered reasons... One of them being that I was in Kate's position when my mom passed in December the same year as my friend. I had forgotten my ID at home and missed my flight. Unlike Kate I wasn't able to say goodbye to mom in person before she passed. So yeah...I was a big bally mess watching this episode.
Thank you for sharing! I find watching something so beautifully sad helps to reach deep into parts of myself that need to be heard. ‘When it ends sad, must be something was very special’. May you always remember the special, even if it is paired with tears. ❤️
I began watching the series with my mom and she passed away before season 2 began, it has been a difficult journey but somehow TIU has helped me with my grief. With this episode, I can imagine your friend and my mom are in a better place for sure.
@@AdrianaLopez-sy6yg I loved the train analogy. And the fact that it had been foreshadowed in earlier episodes was just so clever and perfect. With my mom, we struggled whether to bring her home to Kansas where the majority of our family is buried or leave her in Colorado. She didn't specify in her will. But as we were going through her things we found a slip of paper where she had written about how the Colorado snow was perfect in the morning. When I put it on Facebook, my cousin saw it and nearly fell over. The words happened to be song lyrics to a kind of obscure Christmas song that was playing in his shop at the moment he saw my post! Sounds too crazy to be real but I swear it's true. So we found a small cemetery that had a beautiful view of the mountains and we buried her in her beloved Colorado.
In an interview, Dan Fogelman said that he also never really got to say “goodbye” to his mother because she passed away during an operation that was supposed to be serious but not life threatening. So this might also have been his way of saying goodbye to her (three times over). You were lucky to have such a good friend.
I felt the same way about the “uplifting” way they handled this episode. Also, my two favorite things in this episode? That red dress was stunning 🤩! But William (and the absolutely beautiful script) blew me away. Honorable mention goes to the cinematic style of that beautiful train, and all the stories it held.
The background music that accompanied many of the heavy scenes was pure mastery. The train scene as Rebecca passes through each cabin, the music in the background almost mimicking a train was genius. Music director for this show also made the show what it is.
I knew what was coming and thought I could handle it. But of course, I was a mess. Never have I felt so emotionally moved by a television series. So much beauty, from the words spoken, to the gorgeous movement through the train was everything I hoped it would be. I cannot imagine how hard this episode must have been for the cast and crew. I love every character so much, but especially Miguel. William is featured in this episode, looking healthy and happy in comparison to how he left us. Thank you for that. I cancelled an appointment today because my eyes are so swollen. LOL.
I was so wrung out emotionally, eyes swollen, energy low. I kept crying at the mere thought of Rebecca talking to the Dr/bartender. His words were exactly what she needed to hear. As a mother, I also know that I've made mistakes, but I try very hard to get it right, just like Rebecca. It hit me like a body blow. The tears just would not stop. Even now, two days later, I have to not go there emotionally. We all got affirmation from that scene.
I lost my mother a little over a month ago, I held her hand as she left this world. I have been incredibly sad since that morning, hoping that she wasn't afraid, praying that she could hear me as I said my goodbyes and the last "I love you"'s. Even though I just spent an hour ugly crying watching this episode I strangely feel better now. Thank you "This is us".
This was so amazingly well written and just intensely wrapped in a perfect epsiode. Tuesdays will never be the same without the Pearsons. Wow. Just wow. Rebecca and Jack forever. LOVE.
An outstanding show all round. It was a wonderful series that didn't need foul language, nudity, or violence to be a huge hit. It was deep, thoughtful, realistic, & a learning experience. One show left to go, I will miss this gem.
This was probably the most beautiful episode of the whole series. A lot of tears were shed, a lot of smiles too. Beautiful work by all of the actors involved. Not looking forward to it being over, but like life, every good (or in this case incredible and great) things must end. Thank you to to the cast and crew for taking us on this journey of love and life, in the most REAL LIFE series I've ever watched.
I absolutely loved the Marcus Brooks storyline! Yes, we had to think about Jack’s gut wrenching death again but Fogelman makes it less sad by “zooming out” (as William tells Rebeca) and showing us how the end of his life was the beginning of Marcus’ life as a researcher. Death is less sad when we realize how meaningful life is and how our lives touch so many other people’s lives - sometimes in small but significant ways. The fact that Jack’s life touched the Brooks family by a piece of advice that simultaneously stretched back to the very first episode and went forward to the future made that it especially poignant. Life really is a “Circle Game”. Dan Fogelman is a genius! and I’m going to miss this show so much! 😢❤️☺️
My mom & I were talking about the Brooks storyline half the morning. Can you explain the connection you interpreted? I saw it one way, my mom saw it another. I wanna hear more detail about the advice & it circling back to the first episode. Sorry, if you don’t mind. 😁
@@4MixMasterMonkey I think the Brooks storyline had 2 purposes. The fantastic 'misdirect' the show has mastered was that throughout the episode we were given the impression that Marcus was the father to Deja's baby, only for Malik to appear at the end. The more detailed connection to the first episode comes from the conversation between Jack and the Brooks father at the coffee machine. Jack shares the advice that he was given in the very first episode about 'when life gives you lemons'. That then became the Brooks family motto. Marcus suffered a setback with the cancer medication, has siblings reminded him about the family motto and he went on to develop medication to combat Alzheimer's. So one of Jack's last acts before he died ended up inspiring someone years down the line to discover medication to help the disease that killed Rebecca. Brilliant writing about how one life can touch another and the subsequent ripple effect.
I just wish that Chrissy got a chance to work with her two younger Kates. They could’ve thrown that in after Kate finally made it to Rebecca‘s bedside. Oh well… Also, it would’ve been nice to see Rebecca reunite with the baby that she lost when Kate and Kevin were born. The third triplet! But that last part is minor.
I agree! I say this not to be mean at all, so please hopefully no one takes it that way and takes this comment in the spirit in which I mean it, but I think this was more of a logistics thing in terms of getting the actress on the train in that way. I could be wrong. But when I saw she wasn’t there and everyone else was, I thought maybe that was it. Again, not meant to be cruel or mean, just thought this might have been the rationale.
I was waiting for that too! I was hoping she would see a child sitting there she didn't know, and it would turn out to be the third triplet. Or that one of Kate's or Kevin's kids would be sitting there, and they would reveal that they were also the third triplet, reborn as Rebecca's grandchild.
Ooo, that would have been interesting but I think that would have been a tough narrative note to pull off cause some would have seen the reunion with the child to delegitimize Randall as the Pearsons’ son.
No that would have been a major thing for her to reunite with Kyle. I tweeted this and everyone agreed lol. If he could have been the one leading her through the train I would have lost it!
I guess I got it wrong but I thought when Rebecca opened the last door to the caboose, the little boy sitting on the chair next to the bed was the third triplet??????
It was amazing and emotionally sad. The writers wrote a great ending. One thing that I found somewhat disappointing was that Miguel got one of the shortest part in saying goodbye to Rebecca. He became Rebecca’s anchor for a large part of her life (the most difficult part). I lost my mom 2 yrs ago to Alzheimer’s, I truly hope that she heard our goodbyes just like Becca did of her family. THIS WAS US...
I just watched it as well. I thought the same thing, about the Miguel part but I think in Rebecca's mind, the Miguel that showed up was not yet her husband and that is why he said "you're my favorite person". I am very thankful of the whole Miguel episode, it was about time for a whole episode dedicated to him. I cried so much seeing that he was gone before Rebecca.
When this show started my dad was healthy. He got sick and was in the hospital for months. And died 2 years ago. Next week when the series finale is going to be aired. It wil be on the anniversary of his death. I was shocked when I saw that. It's going to be an emotional episode for me especially. Miss you dad every day. And I am going to miss this show very much. Just a beautiful show. Amazing writing, producing and cast omg you can just feel how much they love each other.
This episode was sad but expected. There have been other episodes that were so sad that I felt someone punched me and left me in a puddle on the floor struggling to breathe! This one had a sad tone but a "grateful" undertone that made up for the sadness. The writing was superb, the acting flawless, the casting impeccable. Kudos to everyone involved. Can't wait for the finale it will be "one for the ages"--just like Rebecca and Jack's love.
I enjoyed the episode but surely I can't be the only one that thought Miguel, Randall, Kate and Kevin deserved more moments to talk to Rebbeca like Beth and the doctor got? I was waiting all episode for that. Poor Miguel got 5 seconds! He's absolutely critical to Rebecca's life. It would have been great to see Miguel help her through the train (that would have had a deeper meaning). Overall still enjoyed it'll the episode just think they missed a few potential moments with Miguel and the kids
I agree that Miguel should of played a much bigger part. I also felt that we didn’t need the storyline about the other family at this late time. I realize that he invented or helped invent a drug for Alzheimer’s but it was too late for Rebecca so I thought it completely unnecessary. I would of rather seen more of the family and them saying their goodbyes instead.
i was very happy to see William guide her through the train. something about his presence is so calming & he gives so much wisdom. I absolutely do wish they gave Miguel more time though. I’m still trying to figure out what’s the significance of him disappearing so fast bc i do think he was still very important in her life. idk, but i keep imagining Rebecca being guided by both Jack & Miguel in the afterlife. we’ll see bc there’s one more episode :(
@@kelceynicole I pictured the same thing about her being guided by both of them. She was actually with Miguel longer, he was very important and he got only seconds. 😒
This is/was by far, one of the best shows ever to grace our screens! I cried, happy and sad tears every episode. I’m already getting my tissue ready for the last scene…😭
As I cried like a baby at the Train episode, I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to listen to Randal,Kate and Kevin, but what really caught my heart was Beth, omg!! Her goodbye to Rebecca was so hard.. I cried so hard !! Seeing Kate running to say goodbye to her mom… oh God!! The tears!! William as her train guide… geez… that was so beautiful. It reminded me of the movie the 5 people you meet in heaven.. I think it was 5 it could have been 7.. with Jon voight (spelling) Thank you to the cast and crew of this is us.. it’s been a beautiful 6 years. 🖤🤍💙💜❤️🧡🖤 😭😭😭 ✨🙏🕊🙏✨ I wish you all a very happy and successful life and career. 🫵🏻🪨
The writing is phenomenal. The symbolism of her life and moving through the train was simple but brilliant. I really also liked the tie-in with Jack and the other dad in ER, who’s child was injured and lived while Jack died. That child, Marcus Brooks became a doctor and researched Altsheimer’s looking for a cure and later cancer. All the little nuances - beyond excellence. I have loved this show. Truly one of the best series I have ever seen. Many thanks to everyone involved in this show. No bad language, no excessive show of skin - it can be done!!👍👍❤️❤️
One of the most beautiful, perfect hours of television I’ve ever seen. And yeah, I was *WRECKED* when it aired. What a show this was! I’ll revisit it again in time.
As a senior citizen I am acutely aware every day that my time on earth has an expiration date. I found the episode “The Train” extremely comforting. Exploring each box car of my life and then being reunited with those who have left before me makes the thought of passing more acceptable. Truly inspiring!
To all the family of this is us. THANK YOU. I LOVED this show from the beginning. You made me feel like I was part of your family. You touched on every aspect of life that reached everyone. May you all be BLESSED. ❤️
One of the best shows on TV I will sadly miss it... The episode of The Train really touched my heart it didn't make me sad but actually made me happy.. I took it as death is not the end and to me it was full circle that's just my opinion... Will definitely miss the show ❤️
The Train episode broke me, I cried the entire time. It made me reflect on my losses and how beautiful the process can be. The cast of This Is Us, I’m forever grateful.
My dad passed a few months ago from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was in my hometown of Maine, and I was flying from Mississippi to see him on his desth bed. When Kate sais 'Tell her her daughter is on her way', I literally started to ugly cry. Each layover I would tell someone to tell him I was coming, that I would be there and to 'wait for me'. When Kate made it, it was reminiscent of when I made it, just in time to say 'your daughters here', just like she did. It felt like my dad was sending me a sign that he knew I was there, I cant explain it, but it was a powerful moment for me watching this episode. ❤
One of the things I loved about this show and will miss is the way they show what you knew was coming. Like with the house fire: you knew it was coming, but you didn't know what caused it. Jack's death: you knew it was coming, but you didn't know how they's show it. There was still that element of heartbreakingly beautiful surprise.
I always wanted to hear Mandy (Rebecca) and Chrissy (Kate) sing together on the show one last time. I will never forget this episode. It was beautiful!
Bravo cast of This Is Us you tore our hearts that with emotion some of us fans of the show can truly say we weren't expecting every episode that you have been in I can truly say I enjoyed from meeting the piercings to the final train ride well done!
I absolutely loved it! The whole, elegant train concept was perfect. For me, I got the most emotional when she saw her doctor that delivered her babies. He was such a great character.
3 years ago I fell and broke my hip. While home for 6 weeks recuperating I had a friend tell me about this series and how good it was. So I binge watched right up to June of 2019 and then started watching every week. This show literally saved me. It is truly a breath of fresh air. It's always amazing when the actors, the writers, the directors the producers everyone involved all come together and make magic! Every single actor was spectacular and through their interactions just brought a quality product to life! Thank you! I loved it!
just watched this episode not even 15 min into the show i was balling like a baby. such a beautiful episode least to say i went threw about 5 tissues maybe even more. i will miss this show 100
Aaah…. This was just beautifully sad! To connect on such a deep, real and raw level is such a gift in life. As a nurse who has cared for the dying it is truly beautiful to help others connect at such a critical time in life. There are two times in life that we have little control-birth and death-its during these times we can, I believe, learn much about being present and experiencing the full capacity of our souls! Big thanks to the writers, to the actors-for your choice to be present! God bless and keep you all. PS: ‘Final Gifts’ is a beautiful book written by two nurses who have many years of helping others pass. They taught me and helped me to ‘see’ as others are passing they truly are caught up and greeted by the angels.
Was not disappointed. Was SO good. That episode alone would of been the perfect final episode. I’m so curious to what next week is going to be like and I am basically already on the edge of my seat.
beautiful episode..This is us reminds me that I strive to be a mother like rebecca.her aura and love for her kids exceeds everything. i want my kids to remember me like that
This episode was one of the best episodes written. I would love to think my final moments would be like this. I cried and reveled in all the family gathering and the saying of goodbyes but Randall being told he was to be a grandfather. The end is just the beginning😢😅
Beautiful!! The last few episodes for me have not been depressing they just have been stunningly breathtaking and haunting. From each savored story, to the cinematography to the music choices. Just beautiful! Sad to see it end, but it's better this way.
Three days after watching the train episode I still find myself in awe about it...it was beautifully written, I saw death in a different light. The writers...wow! Can't see how next week will top that, im dreading the final episode.
Bravo to the the cast/crew and everyone involved!! It’s been a pleasure tuning into the Pearson family on a weekly basis. I’ll miss the routine. Thank you soso much for bringing me along.🥂
This was a beautiful ending, so cleverly written, beautifully acted. Characters I loved, a family that you wanted to be a part of. So sad it has ended, I feel I’ll never find such a good series that really pulls you in as a viewer. Every character was vital to the story, every character added a layer to the complexities of love & family.
I feel this was one of the best series I have ever watched. SOOO realistic. I wish it did not end, but understand it had to in order for it to be so fantastic. It left us wanting more and mourning it's ending. I don't understand how the writers were so clever to make such a complicated yet realistic show. Unbelievable the way this show played out. Great minds! Kudos to everyone involved!
Wooo this show had me in my feels thru and thru. I definitely shed many tears but I am so thankful for such a beautifully told story ♥️. This is Us was absolutely EVERYTHING! Ugh I even cried watching this. ! So many EMOTIONS!!! Lol okay ima go ahead and head out now! ♥️
Oh my goodness! This episode 😭😭😭 This show!!! 😭😭😭Maybe my all time favorite show. It’s so beautifully written, so beautifully acted ❤️❤️❤️ «When something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening.” Chills 🥰 My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole series and it’s sad to see it ending. But no series brought a story more full circle than this one. It’s been a blessing to watch a show that felt so real and good through all the ups and downs. This is life! This is Us ALL OF US ❤️💕❤️
Absolutely loved this whole series devastated this isn’t going to continue but thank you all. It made us viewers, laugh, cry & showed us what true love & family is meant to be. Thanks again you graced us with the most beautiful series of all time ❤️
Love love loved it!!! Very moving. Yeah, I was a mess, but this show has always tapped my emotions like no other. Very relatable, like when I was bedside for my own mother’s passing. This Is Us has taken us on an incredible life journey with all the twists & flashbacks & amazing characters. Am going to miss my Tues night plans. Guess I’ll have to watch it all again. Thank you ALL for the (entertainment) experience!!!
It was absolutely beautiful! The performances, script, set designs, clothing and makeup...WOW! I watched it twice and cried. Having lost my Father/best friend recently and being a mother of three, it really hit home and embodies family love! Bravo!!!
Phenomenal episode and season. The writing so thoughtful and poignant tying so much together in the end. Brilliantly sad. I’ve loved every episode of this series. I will miss it
I couldn't stop crying. I went through an entire box of tissues. So devastatingly sad, yet so beautiful and uplifting, especially the reunion at the end. It was a joy to see so many characters share scenes for the first time, the young Big 3 Actors were incredible throughout the series. I will miss this show terrribly. Thank you for 6 years of compelling drama - such fine acting and magnificent writing are hard to find these days on network tv. I can't imagine what could outshine or replace TIU. It was definitely MUST SEE TV. Stellar, a rare gem of a show.
Loved THE TRAIN episode …it portrayed death so beautifully. And I know people who are dying do wait fir a loved one….had that experience myself twice . The train is a journey …as our life is …❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This show was one of the best ever. So different and so beautifully done. Sure it was depressing stuff alot but the story was telling about the journey of a family thru the years and call the trials that can and do happen along the way.
One of the best episodes of any TV show in history. I absolutely loved and adored it. This show is going out on a bang. And even though I said I hate they the show is becoming “this is grief“, one thing that kept me hanging onto the show for six seasons is that the pain is often mixed in with the feel good… Honestly the most dreadful episode for me was Tobey and Kates divorce, and maybe I should’ve hung in there after that.
@@cheri7054honestly, the freedom is to Tobi. Here's my prognosis of the relationship; They both fell in love with the Low Self Esteem versions of themselves. Tobi made several efforts to come out of it. Kate would barely try and sink further into hers. Anything or anyone trying to help her out of it was seen as trying to change her and was a threat. So you see, Tobi lost weight, he started to like himself. He got a better job, earned better, mixing with great people and Kate's esteem started to feel like she was dying. Kate refused to grow which is a terrible thing for any human! We all must strive to be the best versions of ourselves possibly! Tobi won!!!! He got of out of that mess!
@@donneadidi9796 it’s very sad though, because when anyone marries, no matter when in their life’s journey, there’s absolutely no guarantee that the two ppl marrying that day will continue to grow & change & mature at equal or even similar rates. In fact, that rarely ever happens. It’s rare that two people change, mature, grow, better themselves, whatever, at the exact same rate as their partner. Marriage is still marriage though, and you are committed to one another, you hang together until you’ve both done your “changing,”. You don’t leave the marriage or just throw in the towel and say “see ya” simply because one of the spouses hasn’t changed yet and the other has and he/she is too impatient to wait any longer for that to happen .,
I binge watched the entire 6 seasons. 120 plus hours of my life watching this alone (not my husband’s cuppa). Oy, the emotions. I do agree that the ending was a relief, as it was beautifully done and tied up all of the loose ends to a satisfying perfection.
Yes, there were tears while watching, but I also felt comfort and joy, so many emotions at once, thank you to everyone involved in making this very special episode.💗
Susan Kelechi Watson was so amazing in this episode. Her goodbye to Rebecca just destroyed me. And then her conversation with Randall about Deja being pregnant made me laugh. Her performance as Beth over the entire series was just masterful. I want her to be in all the things I watch from now on! More Susan! Put her in every movie and TV show!
I agree with you about Susan's acting. I'm no fan of Hollywood in general, but she really got to me.
I have my issues with this series, and am not crazy in love with some of the characters, but this episode was so well done!
Congratulations to everyone who worked on "This is Us"
Yes, she's the mom and wife everyone should have. ❤
I don't know if you've seen it or not but she's in the "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" movie with Tom Hanks. Of course she has one of the best lines in it delivering in only her way of, "Mr. Rogers knows my name!!!"
Yes! The whole episode was so moving and beautiful but Susan saying good-bye had me choking up.
Her wit and one-liners…she’s AWESOME!
I agree it was sad but it was also so hauntingly beautiful - it was so unexpected too. I feel like Mandy Moore deserves an Emmy. For sure the writing and directing of that episode also deserves Emmy’s! Everything about it was beautiful. It was one of the best pieces of television I’ve ever experienced. Just beautiful. 💜
With Laura Linney’s incredible performance in Ozark’s final season, it’s gonna be quite the showdown for the Emmy.
I agree, she was wonderful in it x
Hauntingly beautiful is exactly a perfect way to put it! I was balling with tears of sadness and the sheer beauty of this episode. 💜
It was the 1st episode that I actually liked a bit. Im not a This Is Us big fan. I have sorta binged thru it just to see how they end 'the series of weekly tears' and how they end Alzheimers dx (yes, Ima RN who has taken care of a few dementia patients). Making some of the past characters into train employees was nice. Glad to see that Katie made her flight in time to say goodbye. I had a rocky relationship with a mom. I came, I binged, Im glad it is over.
Mandy deserves an EMMY for every season.
I’ve never seen the transition of life played out so beautifully. It was absolutely perfect.
I had the privilege to be there for my grandma. We played it out similarly, with the immediate family going through pictures and telling stories around her bed. I can attest that they DO still hear you. Gram opened her eyes once and nodded to me when I talked to her, and she reached up and grabbed my cousin's hand without opening her eyes when he bent down to tell her goodbye.
Agreed!!!!
100 percent true.
Agree it was absolutely beautiful this whole show has been one of kind I've never seen anything so beautifully written and performed and I feel it will be a long time if ever we will see anything close to this great again!! Going to miss it so much !
This! I thought if this is the way it plays out in the end I will be ok going like this
Through all the seasons I’ve felt like this show was about the death of Jack and how his death affected the family. But now I know that really this has all been about Rebecca. Her strength, courage, and beauty in the face of loss and life. Love this show and will definitely miss it once it’s gone.
So. Beautiful. Truly 😢❤😢😢😢
I was just thinking about this. I feel like it's such a brilliant and beautiful depiction of motherhood through Rebecca's story. The flashbacks are all about her building her family but kind of in the shadow always of Jack - the obvious hero. And when the kids grow up they often don't appreciate her and she starts to fade - both her story in those episodes and her actually mind in the story. And slowly her relationship with her kids heals and they start to recognize her again. It's just really stunning and subtle and impecible!
I totally see your view but I don't think it's been ALL about Rebecca all along. I mean, this episode depicts the death of the matriarch of the family very beautifully. However, I think the show is as much about Jack and the Big 3 as it is about Rebecca. At least that's how I see it.
@@monsev.arellano9125 could not agree more.
The entire show is about A family, each family member and life as we know it. I’m pretty sure, everyone watching this show could see their own story somewhere throughout episodes… this show is really about us all…#ThisisUs
She was waiting for her little bug... I cried so much I couldn't breath! When Randall said "Tell him hey" and Rebeca and Jack see each other in the afterlife... I had such a knot in my throat that I had to repeat myself "they are actors, it's not real, calm down!" Thank you for this masterpiece!!
I can’t stop thinking about this episode and that part in particular! 😭
Just happy they found a way to bring back William and the doc. The show truly came full circle.
Yes! I loved the line, when the Doc said, "I was only your doctor once." (in no way dismissing that time in the scene), and Rebecca says, "Ya, but it was a big one". Something about that hit me - how impactful just ONE BIG experience together can be on a lifetime and connection
Sadly, my best friend who introduced this show to me ("You've GOT to watch it!", she'd enthusiastically tell me) passed away 3 years ago. While watching this episode I found myself talking to her. Berta, what do you think? Isn't this a great ending for her and Jack? And then I cried for many layered reasons...
One of them being that I was in Kate's position when my mom passed in December the same year as my friend. I had forgotten my ID at home and missed my flight. Unlike Kate I wasn't able to say goodbye to mom in person before she passed. So yeah...I was a big bally mess watching this episode.
Thank you for sharing! I find watching something so beautifully sad helps to reach deep into parts of myself that need to be heard.
‘When it ends sad, must be something was very special’. May you always remember the special, even if it is paired with tears. ❤️
😢😢😢🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🕊🕊🕊
I began watching the series with my mom and she passed away before season 2 began, it has been a difficult journey but somehow TIU has helped me with my grief. With this episode, I can imagine your friend and my mom are in a better place for sure.
@@AdrianaLopez-sy6yg I loved the train analogy. And the fact that it had been foreshadowed in earlier episodes was just so clever and perfect. With my mom, we struggled whether to bring her home to Kansas where the majority of our family is buried or leave her in Colorado. She didn't specify in her will. But as we were going through her things we found a slip of paper where she had written about how the Colorado snow was perfect in the morning. When I put it on Facebook, my cousin saw it and nearly fell over. The words happened to be song lyrics to a kind of obscure Christmas song that was playing in his shop at the moment he saw my post! Sounds too crazy to be real but I swear it's true. So we found a small cemetery that had a beautiful view of the mountains and we buried her in her beloved Colorado.
In an interview, Dan Fogelman said that he also never really got to say “goodbye” to his mother because she passed away during an operation that was supposed to be serious but not life threatening. So this might also have been his way of saying goodbye to her (three times over). You were lucky to have such a good friend.
I felt the same way about the “uplifting” way they handled this episode. Also, my two favorite things in this episode? That red dress was stunning 🤩! But William (and the absolutely beautiful script) blew me away. Honorable mention goes to the cinematic style of that beautiful train, and all the stories it held.
Loved it. The writers did a great job.
It was pure genius, the train concept. Her being aware of the past, present & future... just spectacular writing.
The background music that accompanied many of the heavy scenes was pure mastery. The train scene as Rebecca passes through each cabin, the music in the background almost mimicking a train was genius. Music director for this show also made the show what it is.
I knew what was coming and thought I could handle it. But of course, I was a mess. Never have I felt so emotionally moved by a television series. So much beauty, from the words spoken, to the gorgeous movement through the train was everything I hoped it would be. I cannot imagine how hard this episode must have been for the cast and crew. I love every character so much, but especially Miguel. William is featured in this episode, looking healthy and happy in comparison to how he left us. Thank you for that. I cancelled an appointment today because my eyes are so swollen. LOL.
I was so wrung out emotionally, eyes swollen, energy low. I kept crying at the mere thought of Rebecca talking to the Dr/bartender. His words were exactly what she needed to hear. As a mother, I also know that I've made mistakes, but I try very hard to get it right, just like Rebecca. It hit me like a body blow. The tears just would not stop.
Even now, two days later, I have to not go there emotionally. We all got affirmation from that scene.
I lost my mother a little over a month ago, I held her hand as she left this world. I have been incredibly sad since that morning, hoping that she wasn't afraid, praying that she could hear me as I said my goodbyes and the last "I love you"'s. Even though I just spent an hour ugly crying watching this episode I strangely feel better now. Thank you "This is us".
My thoughts are with you. 💗
I'm so sorry for your loss. May she Rest in Peace and fly with the Angels. God Bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm sorry. ❤️
You were so lucky to hold her hands as she left.
I wish I could do the same....😭
What a blessing to be able to say goodbye
This was so amazingly well written and just intensely wrapped in a perfect epsiode. Tuesdays will never be the same without the Pearsons. Wow. Just wow. Rebecca and Jack forever. LOVE.
An outstanding show all round.
It was a wonderful series that
didn't need foul language, nudity, or violence
to be a huge hit.
It was deep, thoughtful, realistic, & a learning experience.
One show left to go, I will miss this gem.
This was probably the most beautiful episode of the whole series. A lot of tears were shed, a lot of smiles too. Beautiful work by all of the actors involved. Not looking forward to it being over, but like life, every good (or in this case incredible and great) things must end. Thank you to to the cast and crew for taking us on this journey of love and life, in the most REAL LIFE series I've ever watched.
I absolutely loved the Marcus Brooks storyline! Yes, we had to think about Jack’s gut wrenching death again but Fogelman makes it less sad by “zooming out” (as William tells Rebeca) and showing us how the end of his life was the beginning of Marcus’ life as a researcher.
Death is less sad when we realize how meaningful life is and how our lives touch so many other people’s lives - sometimes in small but significant ways. The fact that Jack’s life touched the Brooks family by a piece of advice that simultaneously stretched back to the very first episode and went forward to the future made that it especially poignant. Life really is a “Circle Game”. Dan Fogelman is a genius! and I’m going to miss this show so much! 😢❤️☺️
My mom & I were talking about the Brooks storyline half the morning. Can you explain the connection you interpreted? I saw it one way, my mom saw it another. I wanna hear more detail about the advice & it circling back to the first episode. Sorry, if you don’t mind. 😁
Following too for the first episode reference!
@@4MixMasterMonkey I think the Brooks storyline had 2 purposes. The fantastic 'misdirect' the show has mastered was that throughout the episode we were given the impression that Marcus was the father to Deja's baby, only for Malik to appear at the end.
The more detailed connection to the first episode comes from the conversation between Jack and the Brooks father at the coffee machine. Jack shares the advice that he was given in the very first episode about 'when life gives you lemons'. That then became the Brooks family motto. Marcus suffered a setback with the cancer medication, has siblings reminded him about the family motto and he went on to develop medication to combat Alzheimer's.
So one of Jack's last acts before he died ended up inspiring someone years down the line to discover medication to help the disease that killed Rebecca. Brilliant writing about how one life can touch another and the subsequent ripple effect.
I just wish that Chrissy got a chance to work with her two younger Kates. They could’ve thrown that in after Kate finally made it to Rebecca‘s bedside. Oh well… Also, it would’ve been nice to see Rebecca reunite with the baby that she lost when Kate and Kevin were born. The third triplet! But that last part is minor.
I agree! I say this not to be mean at all, so please hopefully no one takes it that way and takes this comment in the spirit in which I mean it, but I think this was more of a logistics thing in terms of getting the actress on the train in that way. I could be wrong. But when I saw she wasn’t there and everyone else was, I thought maybe that was it. Again, not meant to be cruel or mean, just thought this might have been the rationale.
I was waiting for that too! I was hoping she would see a child sitting there she didn't know, and it would turn out to be the third triplet. Or that one of Kate's or Kevin's kids would be sitting there, and they would reveal that they were also the third triplet, reborn as Rebecca's grandchild.
Ooo, that would have been interesting but I think that would have been a tough narrative note to pull off cause some would have seen the reunion with the child to delegitimize Randall as the Pearsons’ son.
No that would have been a major thing for her to reunite with Kyle. I tweeted this and everyone agreed lol. If he could have been the one leading her through the train I would have lost it!
I guess I got it wrong but I thought when Rebecca opened the last door to the caboose, the little boy sitting on the chair next to the bed was the third triplet??????
I also thought it was beautifully done. The writers did a splendid job.
So beautiful. So true to being present when someone leaves their body. Good stories help us heal. This is one of those stories.
It was amazing and emotionally sad. The writers wrote a great ending. One thing that I found somewhat disappointing was that Miguel got one of the shortest part in saying goodbye to Rebecca. He became Rebecca’s anchor for a large part of her life (the most difficult part). I lost my mom 2 yrs ago to Alzheimer’s, I truly hope that she heard our goodbyes just like Becca did of her family. THIS WAS US...
I just watched it as well. I thought the same thing, about the Miguel part but I think in Rebecca's mind, the Miguel that showed up was not yet her husband and that is why he said "you're my favorite person". I am very thankful of the whole Miguel episode, it was about time for a whole episode dedicated to him. I cried so much seeing that he was gone before Rebecca.
@@forsythiahoareau6456
Thank you for saying this! Like the insight. Had the same problem as OP.
beautifully done. I loved seeing the old Dr. back as the bartender and of course William
When this show started my dad was healthy. He got sick and was in the hospital for months. And died 2 years ago. Next week when the series finale is going to be aired. It wil be on the anniversary of his death. I was shocked when I saw that. It's going to be an emotional episode for me especially. Miss you dad every day.
And I am going to miss this show very much. Just a beautiful show. Amazing writing, producing and cast omg you can just feel how much they love each other.
This episode was sad but expected. There have been other episodes that were so sad that I felt someone punched me and left me in a puddle on the floor struggling to breathe! This one had a sad tone but a "grateful" undertone that made up for the sadness. The writing was superb, the acting flawless, the casting impeccable. Kudos to everyone involved. Can't wait for the finale it will be "one for the ages"--just like Rebecca and Jack's love.
Loved the “Train Episode”. Beautifully done. I’m gonna miss This Is Us. 💔
Looking forward to seeing what these actors will do next.
I enjoyed the episode but surely I can't be the only one that thought Miguel, Randall, Kate and Kevin deserved more moments to talk to Rebbeca like Beth and the doctor got? I was waiting all episode for that. Poor Miguel got 5 seconds! He's absolutely critical to Rebecca's life. It would have been great to see Miguel help her through the train (that would have had a deeper meaning). Overall still enjoyed it'll the episode just think they missed a few potential moments with Miguel and the kids
I agree that Miguel should of played a much bigger part. I also felt that we didn’t need the storyline about the other family at this late time. I realize that he invented or helped invent a drug for Alzheimer’s but it was too late for Rebecca so I thought it completely unnecessary. I would of rather seen more of the family and them saying their goodbyes instead.
@@nickybrok258 Totally agree. Should’ve focused more on the goodbyes. I didn’t cry on this episode. In my opinion, the previous two were a lot better.
It’s because they were more than just the last moments.
i was very happy to see William guide her through the train. something about his presence is so calming & he gives so much wisdom.
I absolutely do wish they gave Miguel more time though. I’m still trying to figure out what’s the significance of him disappearing so fast bc i do think he was still very important in her life. idk, but i keep imagining Rebecca being guided by both Jack & Miguel in the afterlife.
we’ll see bc there’s one more episode :(
@@kelceynicole I pictured the same thing about her being guided by both of them. She was actually with Miguel longer, he was very important and he got only seconds. 😒
Amazing writers, amazing actors. Every single one of them. One of the best series I’ve ever watched.
This is/was by far, one of the best shows ever to grace our screens! I cried, happy and sad tears every episode. I’m already getting my tissue ready for the last scene…😭
As I cried like a baby at the Train episode, I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to listen to Randal,Kate and Kevin, but what really caught my heart was Beth, omg!! Her goodbye to Rebecca was so hard.. I cried so hard !! Seeing Kate running to say goodbye to her mom… oh God!! The tears!! William as her train guide… geez… that was so beautiful. It reminded me of the movie the 5 people you meet in heaven.. I think it was 5 it could have been 7.. with Jon voight (spelling)
Thank you to the cast and crew of this is us.. it’s been a beautiful 6 years.
🖤🤍💙💜❤️🧡🖤
😭😭😭
✨🙏🕊🙏✨
I wish you all a very happy and successful life and career.
🫵🏻🪨
The writing is phenomenal. The symbolism of her life and moving through the train was simple but brilliant.
I really also liked the tie-in with Jack and the other dad in ER, who’s child was injured and lived while Jack died. That child, Marcus Brooks became a doctor and researched Altsheimer’s looking for a cure and later cancer. All the little nuances - beyond excellence. I have loved this show. Truly one of the best series I have ever seen. Many thanks to everyone involved in this show. No bad language, no excessive show of skin - it can be done!!👍👍❤️❤️
One of the most beautiful, perfect hours of television I’ve ever seen. And yeah, I was *WRECKED* when it aired. What a show this was! I’ll revisit it again in time.
2 years later and i am crying still...such an amazing show!!!
It truly was the most epic episode. The last 5 had me in tears but this one was so profound. It was a showstopper, so well done.
I agree! It truly was. It shook me right to the core.
As a senior citizen I am acutely aware every day that my time on earth has an expiration date. I found the episode “The Train” extremely comforting. Exploring each box car of my life and then being reunited with those who have left before me makes the thought of passing more acceptable. Truly inspiring!
To all the family of this is us. THANK YOU. I LOVED this show from the beginning. You made me feel like I was part of your family. You touched on every aspect of life that reached everyone. May you all be BLESSED. ❤️
One of the best shows on TV I will sadly miss it... The episode of The Train really touched my heart it didn't make me sad but actually made me happy.. I took it as death is not the end and to me it was full circle that's just my opinion... Will definitely miss the show ❤️
Don't be sad ❤️ this is absolutely the best ride ever!!
I don't by the line that William sad about not being sad. It works for Rebecca but not me.
Absolute perfection. I was sobbing! Best series I have ever watched.
Most beautiful episode in the series. Seeing Jack and Rebecca together in the end gave me hope for my own life. I love you and miss you, Rick.
The Train episode broke me, I cried the entire time. It made me reflect on my losses and how beautiful the process can be. The cast of This Is Us, I’m forever grateful.
The Train was awesome. This episode made me cry the hardest of all the episodes. Such great actors. I will miss this show.
My dad passed a few months ago from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was in my hometown of Maine, and I was flying from Mississippi to see him on his desth bed. When Kate sais 'Tell her her daughter is on her way', I literally started to ugly cry. Each layover I would tell someone to tell him I was coming, that I would be there and to 'wait for me'. When Kate made it, it was reminiscent of when I made it, just in time to say 'your daughters here', just like she did. It felt like my dad was sending me a sign that he knew I was there, I cant explain it, but it was a powerful moment for me watching this episode. ❤
There will never be another show like this. Ever. Just so beautifully executed. I will miss you all!
One of the things I loved about this show and will miss is the way they show what you knew was coming. Like with the house fire: you knew it was coming, but you didn't know what caused it. Jack's death: you knew it was coming, but you didn't know how they's show it. There was still that element of heartbreakingly beautiful surprise.
Yes! Same with Miguel. We new they were married but not until the end did we see how they got together! Love this show! It will be missed! 🥲
I always wanted to hear Mandy (Rebecca) and Chrissy (Kate) sing together on the show one last time. I will never forget this episode. It was beautiful!
Gorgeous, moving, so beautiful on EVERY level. Still crying 😢❤
One of the best shows ever!!!!! No words to describe my feelings...
Comforting, what a perfect word to describe this episode! A beautiful farewell...
It was beautifully done!
Mandy is so Incredibly Beautiful Angel!! 💗😇
Omg it was amazing episode 😭 😍 I cried on the emotional parts loved it. Great job to everyone on this show.
Best show on tv
Insane chemistry and creativity!!!!
Loved loved loved this series! These actors are extraordinary!! Thank you for an amazing 6 yrs!!
Bravo cast of This Is Us you tore our hearts that with emotion some of us fans of the show can truly say we weren't expecting every episode that you have been in I can truly say I enjoyed from meeting the piercings to the final train ride well done!
I absolutely loved it! The whole, elegant train concept was perfect. For me, I got the most emotional when she saw her doctor that delivered her babies. He was such a great character.
3 years ago I fell and broke my hip. While home for 6 weeks recuperating I had a friend tell me about this series and how good it was. So I binge watched right up to June of 2019 and then started watching every week. This show literally saved me. It is truly a breath of fresh air. It's always amazing when the actors, the writers, the directors the producers everyone involved all come together and make magic! Every single actor was spectacular and through their interactions just brought a quality product to life! Thank you! I loved it!
just watched this episode not even 15 min into the show i was balling like a baby. such a beautiful episode least to say i went threw about 5 tissues maybe even more. i will miss this show 100
Aaah…. This was just beautifully sad! To connect on such a deep, real and raw level is such a gift in life. As a nurse who has cared for the dying it is truly beautiful to help others connect at such a critical time in life. There are two times in life that we have little control-birth and death-its during these times we can, I believe, learn much about being present and experiencing the full capacity of our souls!
Big thanks to the writers, to the actors-for your choice to be present!
God bless and keep you all.
PS: ‘Final Gifts’ is a beautiful book written by two nurses who have many years of helping others pass.
They taught me and helped me to ‘see’ as others are passing they truly are caught up and greeted by the angels.
Was not disappointed. Was SO good. That episode alone would of been the perfect final episode. I’m so curious to what next week is going to be like and I am basically already on the edge of my seat.
beautiful episode..This is us reminds me that I strive to be a mother like rebecca.her aura and love for her kids exceeds everything. i want my kids to remember me like that
This show is the most beautifully written show ever!
This episode was one of the best episodes written. I would love to think my final moments would be like this. I cried and reveled in all the family gathering and the saying of goodbyes but Randall being told he was to be a grandfather. The end is just the beginning😢😅
OMG! This episode was mind blowing and I was not surprised! Everything was impecable as always... 💓💓
The Train episode, aka the “Caboose”, was done so well, so beautiful; it was my favorite. I cried for hours😭❤️🤍
I agree with Mandy. Probably my favorite episode. So many good lines. So skillfully written and executed. And yes, more beautiful than sad.
Beautiful!! The last few episodes for me have not been depressing they just have been stunningly breathtaking and haunting. From each savored story, to the cinematography to the music choices. Just beautiful! Sad to see it end, but it's better this way.
Three days after watching the train episode I still find myself in awe about it...it was beautifully written, I saw death in a different light. The writers...wow! Can't see how next week will top that, im dreading the final episode.
The best show ever written. I laughed, I cried, I became emotionally invested in all of the characters, wow what a ride. Thank you.
Beautifully written story. Captivated an audience for 6 years. Bravo.
Bravo to the the cast/crew and everyone involved!! It’s been a pleasure tuning into the Pearson family on a weekly basis. I’ll miss the routine. Thank you soso much for bringing me along.🥂
Emotionally devastating omg that’s exactly how I felt watching this whole episode! It was by far the most beautiful episode!!
This was a beautiful ending, so cleverly written, beautifully acted. Characters I loved, a family that you wanted to be a part of. So sad it has ended, I feel I’ll never find such a good series that really pulls you in as a viewer. Every character was vital to the story, every character added a layer to the complexities of love & family.
It was incredibly beautiful and moving. I really enjoyed it.
I feel this was one of the best series I have ever watched. SOOO realistic. I wish it did not end, but understand it had to in order for it to be so fantastic. It left us wanting more and mourning it's ending.
I don't understand how the writers were so clever to make such a complicated yet realistic show. Unbelievable the way this show played out. Great minds! Kudos to everyone involved!
This episode is an instant classic only said wow, I don’t remember rewinding an episode and having tears in my eyes since the episode Memphis 👏👏👏👏👏
The episode was amazing. The train idea wow. Mandy Moore beautiful woman just beautiful.
Wooo this show had me in my feels thru and thru. I definitely shed many tears but I am so thankful for such a beautifully told story ♥️. This is Us was absolutely EVERYTHING! Ugh I even cried watching this. ! So many EMOTIONS!!! Lol okay ima go ahead and head out now! ♥️
It was very beautiful the way they show the transition into her death! I am truly going to miss this family!
Oh my goodness! This episode 😭😭😭 This show!!! 😭😭😭Maybe my all time favorite show. It’s so beautifully written, so beautifully acted ❤️❤️❤️ «When something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening.” Chills 🥰 My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole series and it’s sad to see it ending. But no series brought a story more full circle than this one. It’s been a blessing to watch a show that felt so real and good through all the ups and downs. This is life! This is Us ALL OF US ❤️💕❤️
Absolutely loved this whole series devastated this isn’t going to continue but thank you all. It made us viewers, laugh, cry & showed us what true love & family is meant to be. Thanks again you graced us with the most beautiful series of all time ❤️
I cried in each moment of it.I remembered my mother .I wish I could be a mother like Rebecca for my children
Love love loved it!!! Very moving. Yeah, I was a mess, but this show has always tapped my emotions like no other. Very relatable, like when I was bedside for my own mother’s passing. This Is Us has taken us on an incredible life journey with all the twists & flashbacks & amazing characters.
Am going to miss my Tues night plans. Guess I’ll have to watch it all again.
Thank you ALL for the (entertainment) experience!!!
It was absolutely beautiful! The performances, script, set designs, clothing and makeup...WOW! I watched it twice and cried. Having lost my Father/best friend recently and being a mother of three, it really hit home and embodies family love! Bravo!!!
Phenomenal episode and season. The writing so thoughtful and poignant tying so much together in the end. Brilliantly sad. I’ve loved every episode of this series. I will miss it
This was definitely my favorite episode. I cried a lot, but also smiled.
I couldn't stop crying. I went through an entire box of tissues. So devastatingly sad, yet so beautiful and uplifting, especially the reunion at the end. It was a joy to see so many characters share scenes for the first time, the young Big 3 Actors were incredible throughout the series. I will miss this show terrribly. Thank you for 6 years of compelling drama - such fine acting and magnificent writing are hard to find these days on network tv. I can't imagine what could outshine or replace TIU. It was definitely MUST SEE TV. Stellar, a rare gem of a show.
Absolutely the best series I’ve watched.
This episode was amazingly beautiful. (LIFE)
what an incredible script and show
Loved THE TRAIN episode …it portrayed death so beautifully. And I know people who are dying do wait fir a loved one….had that experience myself twice . The train is a journey …as our life is …❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful end to a great series..beautiful recap and will for sure bring tears in your eyes if u have followed the series
This show was one of the best ever. So different and so beautifully done. Sure it was depressing stuff alot but the story was telling about the journey of a family thru the years and call the trials that can and do happen along the way.
Extremely terrifically magnetically beautiful episode. The tears couldn't stop.
One of the best episodes of any TV show in history. I absolutely loved and adored it. This show is going out on a bang. And even though I said I hate they the show is becoming “this is grief“, one thing that kept me hanging onto the show for six seasons is that the pain is often mixed in with the feel good… Honestly the most dreadful episode for me was Tobey and Kates divorce, and maybe I should’ve hung in there after that.
That divorce was a long time coming, I was relieved and happy for Tobi
Agree. The best episode ever in television.
@@donneadidi9796 I was relieved for Kate
@@cheri7054honestly, the freedom is to Tobi. Here's my prognosis of the relationship;
They both fell in love with the Low Self Esteem versions of themselves. Tobi made several efforts to come out of it. Kate would barely try and sink further into hers. Anything or anyone trying to help her out of it was seen as trying to change her and was a threat. So you see, Tobi lost weight, he started to like himself. He got a better job, earned better, mixing with great people and Kate's esteem started to feel like she was dying. Kate refused to grow which is a terrible thing for any human! We all must strive to be the best versions of ourselves possibly! Tobi won!!!! He got of out of that mess!
@@donneadidi9796 it’s very sad though, because when anyone marries, no matter when in their life’s journey, there’s absolutely no guarantee that the two ppl marrying that day will continue to grow & change & mature at equal or even similar rates. In fact, that rarely ever happens. It’s rare that two people change, mature, grow, better themselves, whatever, at the exact same rate as their partner. Marriage is still marriage though, and you are committed to one another, you hang together until you’ve both done your “changing,”. You don’t leave the marriage or just throw in the towel and say “see ya” simply because one of the spouses hasn’t changed yet and the other has and he/she is too impatient to wait any longer for that to happen .,
I binge watched the entire 6 seasons. 120 plus hours of my life watching this alone (not my husband’s cuppa). Oy, the emotions. I do agree that the ending was a relief, as it was beautifully done and tied up all of the loose ends to a satisfying perfection.
One word.....awesome!
Devastating AND uplifting all at the same time…stunningly beautiful!
Hauntingly beautiful is the perfect way to put it. ❤️
Loved the train. This was a phenomenal show!!
I feel the same way about the train episode..my soul wasn’t ready for it. Waited for weeks to watch it
Yes, there were tears while watching, but I also felt comfort and joy, so many emotions at once, thank you to everyone involved in making this very special episode.💗
Great job on the train scene, and the bedside goodbyes. So touching!
