And if the children never met Jack can make sense that they call Miguel grandfather.

As much as the pilot's e...OMG, that last twist!<br />As much as the pilot's endtwist filled me with joy, this one filled me with angst! you said "How am I already heartbroken that a character I have only been emotionally invested in for two episodes could very well be dead?" - I'm right there with you! Because at this point I'm quite convinced that Jack is dead in present time. Like you, I noticed the past tense Kate used when talking about what dad said, and I don't think Rebecca would still wear the necklace with her second husband if she and Jack were simply divorced... And you're right, I didn"t think about that but Jack's death could be a part of Randall's desire to know William, and now to do everything he can to help him fight his cancer.<br />This twist really got me, because the second before, when the girls said "Grandma and GRANDPA are here", I was so sure and happy to see Rebecca and Jack, and then boom! (side note: is it usual for children to call their step-grandfather Grandpa? I mean, it's just my personal experience, but I lost my mother and have a stepmother, and my nephews and nieces call my father Grand-Père - French for Grandpa - but call my stepmother by her first name, even though they never knew their grandmother).<br /><br />Beside that... I loved that episode just as much as the pilot. Only 2 episodes and already care so much for all the characters. I was happy to see Kevin call Randall, I was longing for some interactions between Randall and his twins. It pained me to see that the relationship between the two brothers is still strained in present day, but now with Kevin's intent to move to New York, maybe we'll see them rebuild their relationship? (Randall lives around New York, right? 3 bus hours to Philadelphia? I'm not an American, my US geography isn't great)<br /><br />Other thoughts...<br />I know the show has to follow the 80's fashion, but I liked Jack's beard in 79 much more than his mustache...<br />Nice timing for the pile drive, little Kev :D<br />Anne-Clairenoreply@blogger.com
