Season Finale Of This Is Us Season 6

So, About That This Is Us Finale...

Okay, let's just get this out of the way. The This Is Us finale happened. Remember all the hype? Remember the tears we were supposed to shed?

Maybe I'm just a robot. Or maybe... just maybe... it wasn't the waterworks extravaganza everyone expected. Dare I say, I was a little...underwhelmed?

The "Big Three" and Their Chill Vibes

The episode mostly focused on Rebecca's passing and the aftermath. We saw the Big Three – Kate, Kevin, and Randall – contemplating life. They sat. They talked. They... well, mostly just sat.

Look, I get it. Grief is complicated. It's not always a dramatic movie scene. But where was the oomph? Where was the gut-wrenching, soul-searching drama we'd come to expect?

I feel like I'm at a casual Sunday brunch with The Pearson's. Not that it is bad, but...

Jack and Rebecca: A Heavenly Hangout?

We also got those sweet little scenes with Jack and Rebecca on the 'heavenly train'. They were lovely, don't get me wrong.

But again, something felt... missing. Perhaps the scenes are so comforting that I'm missing the dramatic part.

Where was the emotional punch? I'm starting to think I should have put on a pair of onion goggles just to feel something!

Unpopular Opinion Alert!

Here's where I might lose some of you. I think the show peaked earlier. Remember the Crock-Pot episode? Talk about tearjerkers! Remember when Jack died? Now that was a finale-worthy moment.

The slow burn, the subtle revelations... it all built up to such a powerful climax. This finale, however? It felt more like a gentle simmer.

"It was like ordering a pizza and getting a perfectly acceptable, but slightly bland, slice."

Missing Pieces of the Puzzle

Maybe I had unreasonably high expectations. Maybe I wanted the show to tie up every loose end with a neat little bow. Perhaps I was just seeking closure and didn't get it in the way I wanted.

We didn't see much of the younger characters. What's going on with Deja and her baby? And Nicky? Is he still yelling at squirrels?

These minor stories could have had more focus. I would've loved to see more on it.

A Quiet Goodbye

The finale ultimately chose a more subdued path. It focused on the cyclical nature of life, the importance of family, and the acceptance of loss.

It was a nice message. A peaceful sendoff. But did it leave me sobbing into my tissues? Nope.

Did it make me question the meaning of existence? Not really. Maybe I'm just dead inside!

So, Was It Good?

Look, This Is Us was a fantastic show. It made us laugh, it made us cry, and it made us think about our own lives and relationships.

The finale wasn't bad. It was just... different. Perhaps that is okay.

It wasn't the grand, epic, tear-drenched conclusion I expected, but it was a quiet, reflective goodbye. And maybe, just maybe, that's enough. But don't come for me if you disagree!

Now, excuse me while I go re-watch the Crock-Pot episode and have a good cry. Just kidding... mostly!
