Featured review
Tour de Force
Since this show was pretty much about Kevin and Randall and their "clearing the air" meeting, we have enough background to know it wasn't going to be easy. First of all, there were the words spoken to each other after Rebecca was to go for the experimental treatment. They both admitted that they were trying to hurt the other one. Randall is so tense and so full of hurt, some of it self inflicted, that we don't really know what he is hoping for. The fact is the Pearsons brought home a black child. In my experiences, adoption agencies often try not to place black children with white families. It is known that adjustments are hard. The fact is that the kids are all the same age which makes a difference because comparisons are naturally there. The fact is that Randall is gifted academically, and Kevin, at least in his formative years, is not. Resentment starts early and Kevin doesn't recognize his own gifts. So anger build and it continues. No excuse. For those that are so critical of Randall, let's remember that in this family, that is the dynamic. The flashbacks show subtle things. When they go to see Mr. Rogers, the placing of the lanyard on Randall and not on Kevin, sets things off. I don't think Jack has any idea of what the perception is. So as they try to sort through these things, Kevin is frustrated because he doesn't know what to say or how to act. Randall will never be satisfied and Kevin will never totally get it. But as they close their time together, there is some progress and a lot of life yet to live. I thought this episode was like being in a fight--my wife and I were both fatigued.
