Ep. 4: Time After Time | "Kyle" (S1E3)

Grief. Where do you begin when you feel like you’re slipping through quicksand? Jack and Rebecca bring home three babies while grieving the loss of another. Randall just reunited with his birth father, William, but now grieves his terminal illness. All channel their grief differently. How do we go through the process of grief with care and ultimately come out on the other side of it? Who do we lean on in these moments of darkness so we don’t have to face it alone? Kate reminds us of the importance of being there for each other, no matter the circumstances… time after time. Deep breaths.

I just want to say that Mandy Moore is the best actress, I mean they all are. But I think her portrayal of Rebecca from episode 1 to series finale… phenomenal and honestly underrated and should win ALL the awards.

Truly one of the best performances in television history

@milirodriguez8493 Ай бұрын

@aekelly Right?She definitely NEEDS to, especially after her portrayal of Rebecca. She played her in different ages so so well. I think from all the cast(all which we fell in love with), she did the most portrayal from age, which means different growth experiences for her character. Also after finding the death of Jack...oof, she did amazing to get us in the feels

Sterling being the lead podcaster does a great job holding it all together. He knows how to communicate the story and back ground. He knows that when it's off topic Sterling brings it back.

“The show is not sad. You’re sad. Life is sad.” I agree with you, Chris… there’s always something that will throw us off-course in this life and will allow us to connect to the show on a much deeper level. We just have to go through the motions no matter what. Grief is a powerful and complicated emotion, a feeling that no one will ever come to understanding because everyone handles it in a different way. There’s no right or wrong when you’re experiencing it. Thank you for discussing this topic, you guys! It’s very important ❤️

Mandy, you handled the portrayal of older Rebecca to a tee. Chris is so right. There was subtleness of movement, dialogue, even gaze. Extremely well done!

Ms. Moore was definitely an unsung hero and actor on the show. She was a shining star.

Them mentioning Jack's tendency to sleeping on the floor in the first few episodes just made me think, he was literally in a war. He would've slept on the floor a lot during that time. I've heard that sometimes that carries over after you leave the warzone. I'd never really thought about it before, but for some reason that kinda hit me listening to this...

@michaela2706 Ай бұрын

Speaking of handling the babies and actor freedom, 1 that sticks out a lot is when Toby introduces himself to baby Jack as "the 1 with the beard". And, like it was just meant to happen, the baby playing Jack touches his beard and Chris says "exactly". Just felt like the perfect thing to happen and perfect response.

Mandy Moore, Hair and Make up crew all deserves their flowers. So many times I had to remind myself that was makeup. Her as an older woman was so believable. It really felt authenticate from her look all the way to her behavior and mannerisms.

I just adore this podcast! I know I truly loved the show, but listening to the podcast, I am learning WHY I loved it so much! Things that touched my heart, just "because it DID" but your drilling down on the acting helped explain to me WHY it did that to me. I am shouting, "yes, that's how I felt, too!" or "yes, that is how it affected me, too!" So very enjoyable to be listening to this. I had no intention to actually watch the series again, because I loved it so much the first time and didn't want to watch it after being analyzed, but the more I hear the podcast, that is EXACTLY what I want to do. Thank you.

Since it started to resurface on Facebook I said I couldn't rewatch because I didn't want you all to leave to begin with. I loved you all from the beginning it brought back my childhood the innocence of kids when adulthood wasn't so evident. I turned on KZfaq to see this podcast and said ok my favorite cast is talking about my favorite show I'm going to subscribe.

I can't believe the story of the couple with triplets/twins- heart wrenching, but what a God send this show was to them especially WOW! I related to so much of this material over all seasons- between randall reconnecting with his father, seeking information about his mother, as well as when kevin and randall had their awful fight. I connected with randall being the fixer- and his therapy session discussing that! wow. that hit home! so much of this series hit home. brilliant writing and brilliant acting!

Rebecca’s decisions about Randall’s father though make so much sense. As a 1979 adopted child. Closed adoption was the norm. It was so different from now. As a mom I understood her decision so much. But also the missed opportunities in it. The last season actually sparked me to finally search for my birth mother, whose name I always had. Discovered she died less than a year before.

I have a question about Randall. Kevin is always referenced as the oldest, but it was shown that Randall was born almost a day before Rebecca and Jack had their babies. They had him share a birthday with Kate and Kevin, which ok, he could have been born after midnight. I know Kevin is Kate’s big brother, but Randall was the oldest of both. Just wondered why that was never brought up.

She plays three stages in Rebecca’s life from teenager to 90 years so effortlessly. The transition is seamless. She deserves to win so many awards. Yet the powers that be have overlooked this phenomenal actor’s talents.
