So sweet to hear Toby talk so glowingly about his experience as a young actor working on Reign and the family that was formed by the show's cast.👑🤗 It's nice to fantasize about what could happen in our wildest Frary dreams.🥰(x)

I’ve always said that MizzSwan’s Dream a Little Dream of Me story SHOULD BE A MOVIE! Toby’s for more Frary and so am I!!! Let’s find a producer!

Breathe: This Is Us 3x04 Review (Vietnam)

This episode was incredibly anti climatic. Normally, I don’t pay attention to promotion but when the ad says, “Find out how Jack became Jack” I expect a little more. A lot more actually.

Let’s dig in...

Jack and Nick

It’s difficult to tell how much time This Is Us is going to spend on a storyline. Sometimes we are told everything in a single episode and sometimes it’s revealed over time. I thought the Vietnam storyline would be one episode of flashbacks (based off the promotion for the episode).

Boy was I wrong.

I am always here for more Jack Pearson, but unfortunately “Vietnam” didn’t tell us any information we didn’t already know (except for one scene). We know Jack’s father is an abusive drunk. We know Jack believes it’s his job in life to protect his little brother. We know Jack Pearson is the master of grand gestures. The episode didn’t illuminate much more information than that, which makes it fairly anticlimactic. Sadly, this felt more like a filler episode in an effort to slow down the Vietnam storyline, which will be told over several episodes.

That’s completely fine. Just don’t tell me all the answers are waiting for me in THIS episode.  

Much of what makes Jack Jack has been ingrained in him loooong before Vietnam.  Jack was heroic, selfless, loving and compassionate before he enlisted. It’s why he enlisted. He pulled a “Jack Pearson” on his little brother – he voluntarily enlisted in to help Nick. Of all Jack’s big gestures, that takes the cake. But again, what led to that decision are qualities already ingrained in Jack before the war.

My hope is we’ll see more flashbacks of Jack and Nick outside of Vietnam, because we really didn’t get to know Nick as anything more than Jack’s little brother. As I said, we already knew that. 

Nick seems to be the meeker Pearson boy, who is in need of Jack’s protection from their bullying and abusive father. Nick refuses Jack’s plan to escape to Canada in part because he’s trying to prove something to himself, Jack and their father – that he can be a hero too. There’s a lot of great character potential in Nick, but we didn’t get to see much of it this episode.

I am not certain Jack swooping in to save the day will be well received. I don’t think endangering his brother’s life was Nick’s intent when he wrote that letter to their mother. Jack has a perfectly good medical reason to stay out of the war. Chucking it and enlisting all for Nick’s benefit may weigh heavily on the younger Pearson’s conscience. I won’t blame Nicky in the least if he’s more than a little peeved at Jack.

Of course, what Jack did is amazing because he’s Jack. Everything he does is amazing.

The best part of the episode is discovering how Jack came up with “Breathe.” His best friend, who lost his foot in combat, reminds Jack to breathe just before they load him onto the chopper. It is such a beautiful moment between these two soldiers, brothers in arms. Jack kept one of the few peaceful moments he found in this nightmare war and passed it on to his children. Ugh, I was a mess.

So, I guess that’s the lesson for me as well. Take a deep breath because this is going to be a much longer journey than anticipated. It’s good. I don’t think you can cover Vietnam in ONE episode, but yeah I was excited. 

The crazy part of the episode for was watching the draft. I didn’t realize it was televised.  Nick was number 5 in the draft (and he shares my birthday). My father was number 8. It was a surreal moment watching a television character’s draft number so close to my dad’s.

I asked about the night my dad was drafted. My mother said they watched in the basement of her college dorm. She said there was a lot of crying. My dad gave serious thought about going to Canada. His childhood home was not far from the boarder and it would have been very easy for him to leave the country. In the end, he decided he had a duty to serve his country and he didn’t want to leave his family behind.  

It’s a story my parents have told in pieces over the years, but this was the first time I think I really sat down and talked about my father’s service in Vietnam in depth.  THIS is what I love about this show. It triggers conversations with your family because we all are the Pearson family in some way.
