Our thoughts:
As I always say, one of my favorite things about this show is watching the growth of the characters- and Kevin’s growth (along w/ Justin’s acting) is the best… I loved when he realized, his fame or money wouldn’t matter as much as being “there”~
“My dad was the most ‘there’ person that ever lived,” he says.
I also loved when Jack tells Kevin that maybe what makes “parents loom so large in our heads is they’re a million things to us all at once” and that “even after they’re long gone, we’re stuck with them, we can’t help it, they’re inside of us.”
Did anyone catch the name of the guy in the car accident?? I didn’t, but the actor is Joshua Malina (from Scandal, The West Wing, and so many other things!), so I have to think this character will reappear at some point, right?? I always feel like they only use a recognizable actor if this is the case? Or maybe not… ?
