He did—the reviewer got it wrong.

(And they even had a preview for next week's episode at the end…)

2 more—the season is 18 episodes.

And a director. This is That obviously owes a lot to the Herskovitz/Zwick family dramas (thirtysomething, My So-Called Life, Once and Again) so it makes sense Ken Olin is connected, though I think Fogelman's writing is a bit more sentimental. (Jason Katims of Friday Night Lights and Parenthood also came from the…

What? They had a flash forward?

Shouldn't that fuck you be given to the English translator?

Was this actually something we saw in season 1? Jessa convincing Shosh to hang with her instead of going to Aruba? Cuz if so, God, I really don't remember.

Thanks—that article cleared up why this review mentioned the price to join—and I didn't remember it whatsoever:

They certainly rarely mentioned it—that I can remember—after the pilot.

Indeed.

It does lower the stakes for Kate if her twin moved across the continent—

I *think* Kevin told Sophie that they had had a date at that diner when they went on a theatre trip (?) But otherwise I am all for your idea of teleporting (even the "fat camp"—Toby was not allowed to travel but he was allowed to drive miles outside of whatever city they are in?)

So…since I have zero idea of how US geography works aside from Seattle, LA and NY, is that close enough that Kevin could travel from NYC to see his mom, and then travel back to the play?

I guess they could tour other local spots—though that seems weird that it would mean Rebecca would have to be away for a complete full month—but one thing this show does rather poorly is give any sense of place. We know that Kate (and Toby) and Kevin were in the LA area to start, and that Randall lives, I assume,…

I dunno—they seem to be a decent light jazz/covers combo. One that I could see locals supporting—but not particularly one to do even a small tour.

Sorry, I should have not said anything ;) This is created/shorun by Dan Fogelman, who has a somewhat eclectic writing career. He created the musical comedy series Galavant, wrote the screenplay for Disney's Tangled (which is, apparently, how Mandy Moore got involved, as she was Rapunzel's voice there) and the film…

Agreed. Though you do realize Katims isn't involved in this, right? But it certainly is cut from the same cloth.

Depending on how long after Jack's death it took for Miguel and Rebecca to get together plays some bearing I think. I am not a big Miguel fan, but I have seen twice in my life close family friends end up romantically involved (in one case it's lasted, in another it didn't) after becoming close while sharing the grief…

It's meant to be a small off-Broadway production, so an understudy wouldn't necessarily be there. Also if Kevin became the main producer (granted which is pretty unheard of even off-Broadway anymore) he would be the one to make sure there was an understudy. A stage manager or someone might take over and read from a…

Is it gonna get a major release, or is it another VOD thing no one hears about like these movies have been? I've actually started to stop being surprised when I run into people who know The Room—it might help that I work and am a grad student at a university—where it has played midnight showings, etc, several times….
