Violetgoblin6

I am thinking 1990? Rebecca said Jack had stepped up as dad a few years before which was 88? 89? And the kids looked the same as they did at the tenth bday party with Sophie and the Princess Bride. My brother got the Nintendo set with Mario game I for Christmas 1990 and played it religiously through 1991.

Thanks for this. I am surprised. Lately they've waited to release the pictures of the next episode on Monday nights!

Absolutely. I didn't get that either. Beth & Sophie went to bed.

Yes. I think in my case I expected so so much. The whole Mandy Moore throwing up thing and Chrissy Metz being devastated. I cried for Miguel and last week. I didn't really cry this week. I do have a question: why was Rebecca looking above Beth and at the light behind her, during Beth's speech?

I wonder if the very fast pace of season 6 has to do with Randall's speech about "time moving fast". We also saw Miguel tell Randall at the wedding, "it's moving to fast" Randall: "what is?" Miguel "all of it". And next week the nurse tells Kevin and Randall "it's going to go fast now", or something along those lines. Just the speed of time as one ages compared to being a child. I definitely can relate!

Six Feet Under finale in 05 (been so, so long) was actually mostly sad for me. Ugh, the Echo Park scene with David seeing Keith destroys me. I get chills thinking about it. This episode, Family Meeting, had me hysterical. The juxtaposition of healthy, vibrant Rebecca and old Rebecca. Time wise, Beth said, "I've known this family over 30 years". So, 2028? Beth and Randall met in 98.

Well, they say life ages you now in days! 🤣😝

Yup. As I wrote earlier, my uncle passed in 2012, suddenly. His widow, my aunt, met a man at game night and by May of 2013 they were very much an item. He had a ring and a trip to Mexico planned before she too passed in November 2013. Her daughter never spoke about him or met him, infuriated that her mom moved on so fast. In fact at the house the night my aunt passed (also very, very suddenly) she was icy cold to him. My aunt's son, however, loved him and did stuff with him on weekends.

I think Andy is around my age, Amber younger? In "The Game Plan" in season one or two, Shelly or Miguel comment they have a "6" year old at home. I was 6 in 1980. I generally didn't hang with kids 6 years younger. Different grades, different schools, different interests. I finally say "Miguel" last night. Despite haven seen the shortened montage on Youtube that morning, I was overwhelmed and hysterical. Like The Time Travelers Wife novel hysterical, Directors Cut of The Butterfly Effect hysterical, Memphis hysterical, What Dreams May Come hysterical. There is always something subtle that cuts me in the heart and brings the tears. In Memphis it was Randall holding William's face in hands and William's "I'm scared" and "My beautiful boy". This time, it was the Rebecca and Miguel scenes of 2009 and then how they only had like ten years before her diagnosis. How life works out strangely but gloriously at times. Finding another heart that fits your's so late in life after your first heart passes on. Miguel's expressions of love with the kids. Such a great, expressive actor. I KNEW the apple tree seeds would turn into a momentous tree that we'd visit again near deathbed scene. Notes: * Wonder if he died in 2028, the apple tree looked bigger and Jack died in 1998 (who, of course has a tree, love how trees factor in the show), plus the Big 3 needs to age, the pic that somebody posted on here from Us Magazine really shows the aging. Makes some sense. Wedding in 2026, they talk with Miguel is Thanksgiving 2026 and then another year of care and Christmas with Andy, and then he passes the following autumn (apples on tree). The twins are the same age as the wedding (looking around the same age, that is) I swear Mig and Rebecca look older (cane and whatnot) and people's hair has changed. * LOL, still annoyed as someone who lives near Bethlehem and has spent time and sleep-away camp in the Poconos that the cabin is so so very prominent in their lives. I mean, Marc and Kate drive there impulsively, thanksgivings there, lots of summer trips...Pococos and Pittsburgh, not close. I've only been to Pburgh airport in passing to PSU to see my husband from my own college in Ohio. Plus, were they not selling it in the Randall drinks the mushroom smoothie episode? Wasn't the cabin Jack's boss (perhaps Mr. Lundy's?) * Rebecca sternly tells them to "do the big things and take the big risks" earlier this season. Apparently they did. Kate and Kevin's remarriages (plus Kates divorce), Randall's senate seat, Kate's new job. * How many wigs do they have for Rebecca? Someone on here noticed, as did I, that her hair at Tess's birth was longer and wavier. Maybe she got it done the next day? Lol.

Absolutly adore the costumes and hair. Wish I'd been an adult in the early 70's rather than just being born! Great show, Penn is fantastic!

Yes, thank God. Same with able parents. My dad does have Parkinsons but it is still thankfully mild at this point His two best friends have it and have deteriorated much further. My mom's best friend's husband died of it in 2016. My mom thinks Parkinsons is so prevalent because people are living much longer. All my grandparents died before 80. All born from 1905 to 1912.

In 2001 I was 27 and working as a waitress in a local restaurant that served many, many retirees. Lots of people in their 50s and 60s came in with their parents. I would become anxiety ridden with fear from seeing the parents suddenly take on the children's role and the parent's role to the child. Big oxygen tanks, children reading the menu to their parents, the parents frail and unable to read the menu. My then strong father would come in and he was not even 60 yet. I would say to myself, 'please stay in this time, please stay in this time'. As Randall said in his Kate wedding speech a few weeks ago, time goes by way, way, too quickly and most especially with age. Randall said something, like when you're 5, well that is 1/5th of your lifetime and everything is new. My twenties felt like "baseline" and I took them for granted. They lasted, at least in my mind, a long time. I had no worries about 30 or my 30s. They passed far, far quicker though. My 40s have been warped speed. Years feel like the way 8 months felt 10 years ago. I feel sick and nauseous thinking of what is ahead, as everyone reaches this point. Or like my cousins, they lost their parents very suddenly at 69. And, omg, from 2001 to 2022 went by terrifyingly fast.

My uncle, by marriage, passed April 2012 at 69 from a sudden heart attack. His mom had had Alzheimers for years and was 90. Her other son debated telling her. He did, but she consistently forgot he passed. She lived until 2021. People hold onto this disease for so long, like Rebecca.

Haven't seen it yet, but i watched the promo for Family Meeting and was confused because the Big 3 look so young. Especially Kevin. Like, he seriously looks like he does in 2022. I assume Family Meeting takes place after Miguel's death.

Yup. I went to high-school with triplet girls, three girls, all C names.

Yup. I feel the same. Kevin's love life has always been my least favorite plot thread in the series. I mean, I actually do like the character, I just was like 'whatever' in terms of who he ended up with. Very curious to see Miguel's story though. TIS, in my opinion, does such a great job with Rebecca's looks through the years, even as far as fashion and hair suitable for each year.

It is Madison. Her hair is longer and I recognized her big smile. It stands to reason thqt in 10 years or so fashion wouldn't have changed that much.

Yes! I went a wedding in 06, Catholic Philadelphia wedding, and the wedding was late morning, the reception around 7. Everybody drank in between. Dinner was held up and it was a mess. Guests puking over the balcony.

Yeah. Ken Olin deleted it soon after posting it. But some say it could be deliberately misdirected. Lol, at this point I'm over the Kevin mystery. It's gotten to the point where they personally beat the dead horse too much.

Okay, I wonder if the train episode will be Rebecca on a train to heaven and meeting people on the way. Of course, Jack will be last. Kinda like Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven.

OMG! I would love that! Very St. Elsewhere finale (which I saw live btw).

San Ynez? See, at first I thought it was Spain and then Napa and then I went to TIU Reddit and they're saying it was filmed at a specific Spanish Winery.

Complete and utter downer. Even as a kid. When Toby brought up Kate's obsession with Jack I laughed out loud. Remember the holding Jack's head in her hands? Or young Kate saying, "I want to marry you." Teen Kate is so negative and grumpy and was this way even when Jack was alive. Yeah. I mean, I figured Kate was alive in the Rebecca deathbed timeline, but I didn't expect it in 2043 or whenever, nor Toby. I didn't notice their aged looks either until both were sitting down with Lucy. I did notice Parfait's shorter hair though. Wonder if Parfait is the "they're" in 2032. Like Jack, Hayley and Parfait. People have mentioned that Toby looks depressed in the scene when Randall calls him "to come down". I wonder if Toby is working temporarily in the Philadelphia area and his wife and children are in Los Angelas. I chatted with one of the writers on Twitter years ago (when we found out that Randall heads to the cabin to see "her") and asked if Randall moves near the cabin. They said that yes, at that point in time Randall and his family live near enough to the cabin to "drop by" whenever. Looks like Toby got there pretty fast if you see when he arrived compared to Randall and Tess. Huh, maybe Toby is big time in IT at that point and travels all over the place for work. Maybe he is just stressed? Yep. I always look for hints in the deeper future scenes to see if anything has changed, and nope. Nothing new here. I remember in Six Feet Under they at least tried. Somewhat. This episode actually reminded me of SFU when they showed the new Big 3's 6th birthday party and then jumped to 2040s. If anyone has watched the SFU finale surely you must remember the Claire driving scene and how they flashed forward to the near future with Willow's birthday party and then kept jumping, later and later...(that montage destroys me btw, I know the finale of this show will too), believe me, they tore a page from Alan Ball's book. Oh yeah, the Kevin romance at the wedding is most definitely significant and I just know, lol, that the writers are trying to throw us off by showing Kevin gazing longingly at Sophie while sitting with Cassidy. Honestly, at this point I am expecting Sloane to pop up at the winery in Spain, on vacation or something. Me too. I was relieved to see them alive in the future and getting along. I've known couples who have actually become very close with their respective spouses years down the road. At first I thought that was the case, but then Jack was like, "You're both here", like it was kind of rare. Yes! Exactly! My thoughts too. I was like, of course. Of course they haven't done much with Phillip so they throw a classic "sob story" at him. I am already becoming tense at the end of this 6 year journey. I have a lot of criticism of the show, but overall I enjoyed it. I'm not a big tv person, but I was grabbed by TIU's trailer during the end of the 2016 Olympics...to the point where I reran the trailer 5 times. I had remembered in May of 2016 seeing a bit piece about the show, but then it was called 36. I then popped over to IMDB and found out the "twist". I love shows that jump back and forth in time and life (and books!) Plus the show introduced me to Justin Hartley who is a treasure.

Lol. I'm sitting in bed right now reading the forum and was literally just pondering how it seems like yesterday the kids were born, the new Big Three. Of course there's a 6 year time jump! But then remembered back to the my soap addiction in the 80s, early 90s when they'd age a child 16 years the next summer! Adam Chandler and Dixi's on All My Children and Bianca! More interesting!
