This Is Us does a extremely good job switching between the previous and the current in every of its storylines, which might’t be a straightforward activity for the present’s writers. But one fan has identified a tiny element that may make you pause for a minute and suppose, “Wait, what?!” This potential plot gap is centered round the place the principle characters reside as adults, and the way inaccurately the present portrays the space between Pittsburgh and New Jersey.
First, let’s recap: the Pearsons grew up in Pittsburgh, and not one of the members of the family reside there as adults. Kate and Toby reside in Los Angeles, Kevin previously lived in LA (the place he labored on The Manny) and at present lives in New York City, Randall and Beth live in New Jersey, and it looks as if Rebecca and Miguel reside in either New Jersey or upstate New York. They ceaselessly present up at Randall’s home for Thanksgiving and different household occasions.
The head-scratching difficulty – identified by a San Francisco moms blog – is how shortly the characters generally journey from Pittsburgh to New Jersey, which are literally six hours aside. In the “Super Bowl Sunday” episode, we be taught that every of the Big Three offers with the anniversary of Jack’s death in alternative ways, and Kevin finally ends up on the particular tree (presumably in Pittsburgh) the place the household scattered his dad’s ashes. He has a heartfelt “talk” with Jack after which calls Rebecca, who’s training her custom of creating lasagna and watching the massive sport by herself at residence. But then, a couple of frames later, Kevin is on the sofa with Rebecca, they usually’re watching the sport collectively.
Similarly, in season two’s “Number One” episode, which chronicles Kevin’s journey from injured soccer star to grieving grownup with a painkiller addiction, we see grownup Kevin return to his highschool in Pittsburgh to offer a speech. After he has a horrible night time and hooks up with a former classmate, he flees to the one place he is aware of he can discover assist: Randall’s home. The solely downside is that this all appears to happen whereas it is nonetheless darkish out throughout the identical night time.
Have you seen this too?! Redditors have taken observe of the discrepancy as effectively, they usually’re torn between calling it a plot gap and assuming that Kevin has enough money to charter a plane (unsure about that concept). At the tip of the day, who’re we kidding? A element this small would by no means deter us from loving each single episode of This Is Us.
