So, This Is Us will come to an end tonight and I am sad. I am sad because instead of feeling this way because a show I loved for years is ending, I am actually feeling incredibly relieved.

I didn't enjoy this last season at all. While I imagine that, Kevin's """love life""" aside, the show is wrapping up in an emotional way, I can't believe that in a show who had the story planned all along, for 11 episodes of its FINAL SEASON almost nothing happened and the plot barley moved on, while the rest of the final episodes were full of rushed storylines.

They developed Kevin and Madison for 11 episodes only to end their story with a montage and destroy everything they built for them until that moment. They pretended that it wasn't like Kevin was about to realise his feelings for Madison just one episode before and then they magically put Kevin and his ex wife together (a basic character we know nothing about, with zero depth and not enough screen time throughout the years) completely out of the blue, even if it didn't make sense anymore for where the characters were at that moment of their life/growth.

Like, if someone had told me that, after all the hype, I should have waited for SIX SEASONS just to see Kevin end up with the same woman he had a relationship with when he was young (and it didn't work) and then AGAIN when he was 36 years old (and it didn't work 2.0), I'd would have laughed at them!

Oh, and a reminder: this is a show that it was supposed to be realistic and the writers have always been proud of that! Like, if you indeed read the interviews post ep 6x02, you'll even read that they didn't make Nicky end up with Sally because..... It would have been unrealistic!!!

And what about Kevin's character development? What about his journey in the previous seasons and him letting go of the idea of a Hollywood type of story? What about the love of my life will be my child(ren) when the twins have been basically an accessory to his storyline? What about his career? Justin was so excited talking about his S6 storyline and nothing of what he said happened because they changed everything.

Kevin's centric episode ended with him finally finding the foundation, deciding to live a fearless life and then, a couple of episodes later, we see him going back to his S1 era and dating women after women because he lost Madison (let's be honest) and only in the end he ends up with the woman (after Cassidy declined his proposal) that was conveniently available.

I won't talk about how and the stupid reasons why they ended up together because other people already discussed this enough.

Even reading the interviews after 6x14 where they were saying that their story has already been told and that there's no time to show more of that is a real joke if you think that they had 3 YEARS in advance to think about Kevin's endgame (no but seriously, imagine to not have enough time to show your main character's love story after SIX SEASONS OF HYPE!!!), but well, it's what they deserve and I really wouldn't care about it anyway.

Isn't it funny though, that despite the show is trying to imply that "it's always been Sophie", Justin actually said that he doesn't think that it had always been her and that it would have been interesting to see Kevin end up with Madison or Cassidy? Yeah Justin, we know that!

There are many more things about our beloved Pearsons that they could have shown us (slowly and more) and yet they didn't because they wasted precious time, but this is a blog about Kevin and Madison, so I will stop here.

Anyway, @ this is us writers, thanks for making the goodbye much easier.

Firsts and lasts

Im gonna be honest…i liked the episode…but it didnt feel like an end.

Last weeks episode felt more final than this one. I get the intention. Its left feeling open to show that life goes on but it was still lacking something for me

Maybe one last jump forward with the next generation and all their kids and the big three super elderly? Have that cut between the past scene and the post funeral scene?

I dont know it just didnt quite hit me the way i thought a series this emotional would.

[shes-her-own-hero-now]

Not to be That Person continuously talking about This Is Us, but it's been my favorite show since it premiered. For 6 years I've set my alarm for 8:55 every Tuesday from September through May and I (like many others) have connected to these characters. Laughed with them, cried with them, rooted for them. We watched them grow up. We've watched about 80ish years of this family's story in a span of 6 seasons. We have felt like this family were part of ours.

It's almost like finishing a really good book, but worse. Because this has been 6 years of feelings and connections, not a couple of weeks.

I'm so sad this is over. It's like a part of me is missing (I know that sounds so dramatic). I've never been this sad over a show ending, honestly and idk how to handle myself other than vent (and watch it again).

3 years ago, when they announced it will be done after it's 6th season, I was like 'yeah that's probably good. Where else can they go? You can't possible put this family through more trauma.' but now that it's over, I don't want it to be.

This season really made me fall in love with the show all over again (NGL, some recent seasons were meh). And that's what makes this so sad.

[shes-her-own-hero-now]

I don’t know if it’s because I was half watching the show and working but this series finale didn’t hit the way I wanted it to hit.

Maybe because all the big things already happened in all the episodes leading up to the finale?

But overall, I enjoyed This is Us and I’m happy to see it end gracefully.

"Sasha Banks and Naomi are suspended indefinitely and stripped of their titles."

"We are all let down by the actions of Sasha and Naomi."

And who the fuck is "we"??????

[shes-her-own-hero-now]

I’ve been seeing so many terrible takes on twitter about how sasha and naomi should have just played the game, shut up and wrestled, do what they’re paid to do, etc. and like literally this is the reason that wwe is the way that it is with its toxic ass work environment catered to vince, with everyone walking on eggshells around him, absolutely terrified, begging for his approval or sitting anxiously waiting for him to suddenly change his mind on something at the last minute. I am so proud of naomi and sasha for standing up for and believing in themselves and the work and effort they put forth. Those are two women who know their worth, know what they deserve, and are unapologetic about it.

[shes-her-own-hero-now]

WWE can shove this statement up their ass.

Where was this energy for Becky and Charlotte when they LITERALLY threw a tantrum on live TV?!?!

Where was the press release when several other wrestlers (Brock, Toni Storm, Jeff Hardy etc) walked out on matches?!

Fuck that company. Diversity my ass.

[shes-her-own-hero-now]

I STAND WITH NAOMI AND SASHA BANKS.

[shes-her-own-hero-now]

I hope this whole Sasha and Naomi situation is a work or something storyline related

WWE loves being passive aggressive towards black superstars who don’t tap dance when they want them to, ESPECIALLY black women. That entire post on Instagram wasn’t needed. If I was in their shoes I would have done the same thing. You’ve given your life to a company, scarified time away from your family, put your entire life on hold only to be treated like shit in return? Absolutely not, this is bullshit

[shes-her-own-hero-now]

honestly the scariest moment in the movie was when wanda looked at the camera for a brief second.

And I'm like omgg, are we next???
