This Is Us "Super Bowl Sunday" Super Bowl After Show

Say what you will about this year' Super Bowl After Show of This Is Us, but it might as well be one of the best.

From the beginning to the end, "Super Bowl Sunday" delivers with highly emotional moments that was met with joyous and humorist moments. Even though he knew what this episode was about Jack's death, it was way more than just that as we see these characters take on the 20th anniversary of Jack Pearson's death that you would have thought died in the house fire but it turned out that he died from a cardiac complications due to the smoke that he had inhaled from the fire.

Throughout the episode, we see how each take on the day: Kate, who blames herself for Jack's death as it was her asking to get their dog in the house, re-watches the video tape that Jack made when she was singing in her bedroom, but worries of losing it when the VHS eats it but is saved thanks to Toby and his guy. Kevin looking to forget the day, but visits his Jack's tree and talk about the things that had happen and promises that he will be more like him even if it takes 30 years and talking with Rebecca about how she's gotten a message from Jack yet on that day.

Randall puts on a Super Bowl party for his daughters, but a sudden death of the family pet gecko changes things. He and Tess talk about how things have changed since meeting William, Deja and his new job. But a after telling her that she will always be his #1 to him, and promises to do things when she's older and we get to see a stunning future of Tess meeting with Randall as she's a Foster care worker.

But through the performances from the cast that was outstanding, the one that really stood out was Mandy Moore's character Rebecca, who dealt seeing Jack being the husband and father of saving his family, coming out with some severe burns and smoke exhaustion. After getting a check at the hospital, she leaves Jack to call to check on the kids and get a candy bar, but after that call changed and getting the devastated news, you see her changed from the person that she was to being the brave mother that she turned out to be, who deals with telling Kate and Randall. When Rebecca, in the present day, gets a call from Kevin asking if Jack sent a message, she thinks that it was Kevin that was the message this year.

I can go over and over about this episode as it was emotional engaging from the beginning to the end. From the first five minutes of the episode I was in tears due Jack getting back in the house to get the family dog. Each story had a special moment and the actors really delivered their best performance of this season so far. But Moore was the one that really stood out in this episode and deserves an Emmy nomination for this episode. The episode really depicts that after an even that something can go wrong in an instant and how a family can still grieve and come together on it's difficult day. The ending came as a stunner when we see the future of Tess as a foster care worker and meeting with her dad.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch This Is Us with a new episode this Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.

This Is Us: Could Randall Be Killed Off?

It's been the news around social media since last week's heart-wrenching episode of This Is Us. No, I'm not talking about the crock-pot this time, this happens to be one beloved character has said that got the idea rolling.

In last week's episode, Randall (Sterling K. Brown) makes a remark of how their father, Jack (Milo Ventimiglia), has been dead "longer than we had him," and adding that he can't picture himself as an old man. But to Kevin (Justin Hartley) reassures his brother that he's not going anywhere.

It's that touching scene that has resonated with the fans who saw this as a sign that Randall might be killed off down the line.

However, the creator Dan Fogelman has said that fans can rest easy for now because the show isn't planning to kill Randall right now.

Fogelman tells Entertainment Weekly that, "I can assure everybody that we're not killing Randall this season, so everybody can relax. I think they would burn my house down."

Just to note that Fogelamn did say "this season," so he isn't making any promises that Randall would be surviving the long run of the series. But it does seem that the conversation with Kevin wasn't a foreshadow of his demise and was just a simple fallout from Jack's death and nothing more to it.

"I've experienced with a lot of friends, when you've lost a parent, particularly for whatever reason a parent of the same sex -a boy losing his father or a girl losing her mother early--there can be a slight mortality clock that kicks in a bit earlier than it does on other people, especially since it was formative. And I think that's something Randall and Kevin feel," Fogelman said.

So I guess there you have it. Randall is not going anywhere this season, but that doesn't mean any bets are off for him in the future.

You can catch This Is Us on a special Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 4th at 10:15/9:15c (SET YOUR DVRs WITH EXTRA TIME!!!) on NBC.
