This Is Us was supposed to air a new episode tonight, but we are going to have to wait two weeks to find out more about Kevin’s car accident.
“No new episode of #ThisIsUs tonight – Covid-related production delays in LA have forced us to delay a few weeks,” Executive Producer Dan Fogelman wrote. “But the next few are big ones, and we are close, so we hope you’ll hang in there with us. Sorry!”
Hopefully, they will be able to wrap production on season five before Mandy Moore gives birth to her first child.
Right before the This Is Us went on Winter break, we found that Randall’s mom did not die right after he was born. Therefore, I thought they were going to have a happy reunion. Well, there would be tears because it is This Is Us, but still happy.
Well, yesterday, when the show finally returned, we found out that she died five years ago. So what is the point? It feels like a jump the shark moment. Like what else can we do to Randall? We killed off both of his dads; now let kill off one of his moms. The mom he thought was dead. It just makes no sense to me.
What also doesn’t make sense, to me, is how did she even know he was her son? She never spoke to Randall’s dad after she died, so how would she know he was taken to the firehouse and adopted by the Pearsons? And if she knew where he was, then why didn’t she go to find him?
I am sure they have something planned. I just don’t know if I care. Just like they have run out of plotlines for Kate. Let’s reveal she had an abortion when she was 18 because she got pregnant from her abusive boyfriend. Then let’s have her confront him so she could feel better about herself.
It really feels like they are just filling time until their planned ending for the show. And they are not doing a good job. I have been losing interest in the show for a while. With storylines like this, they are not going to keep me interested.
On this season of This Is Us, we are going to see how Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Miguel (Jon Huertas) got together. This past Friday, when Milo Ventimiglia was a guest on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon asked him how he thinks Jack will react to their relationship.
“Jack’s dead! So it really doesn’t matter what Jack thinks,” Ventimiglia said. The actor did go on to say that Jack loved his family so much that he would want his wife and children to be happy.
Ventimiglia also said that sometimes it is hard to live up to what a good a person his character is. Therefore, if you ever hear Milo talking about Jack’s flaws. That is him trying to let himself off the hook for not being as good of a person as Jack.
I set up an interview with Ventimiglia back when he was on Gilmore Girls. Let me tell you, there is a lot of Jack in him. You can’t play that good of a guy without being one. The audience can tell when someone is not as nice as their character. That is why some people are always the bitch or the villain.
The This Is Us patriarch also revealed how Mandy Moore told the cast that she is going to be a mother. They were all on Zoom call, catching up. When they got to her, she timidly told them she is pregnant. They were all so happy for her. Ventimiglia says he is so thrilled that someone as great and amazing as her is going to be mom influencing a child. That gives him hope for Earth.
Justin Hartley is filming a scene with his TV sister, Chrissy Metz, today. While they were waiting to go on camera, they were locked in the new on-set cages.
Well, I guess he forgot we are living in a different time, so he banged his head on the plexiglass when he went to greet his This Is Us co-star. Ouch! On the bright side, at least he doesn’t haven’t COVID-19.
Let’s hope for the makeup department that didn’t leave a black and blue mark.
As we know, COVID-19 has changed the way Hollywood films its projects. One of the differences is that while actors are waiting to film or go over lines on stage, they have to sit in little blocked off wooden and plexiglass cubicles.
This Is Us’ director Ken Olin shared a video of Mandy Moore, Jon Huertas, Chrissy Metz, and Chris Sullivan in their cages. To me, it reminds me of when I go to a pet store, and all of the cats and dogs are in their confined spaces. Therefore, I have to ask you how much is that actor in the window, and which one do you want to take home with you?
