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.
