“I was like, ‘Ah, what a beautiful way to wrap this up.'”
I just remember closing it going, “You stuck the landing, Dan.
No one’s going to be disappointed.
This is a really beautiful way to end this story.'”
Ventimiglia in “full” agreement, noting: “It feels complete.
It feels like there’s no more room for anything else, nor does it need anything else.
It’s justfull.”
What else do you should probably hear?
More opinions from the whole cast and a few hints from them about this last-ever episode?
Let’s convene this family meeting to preview “Us.”
And it’s such a beautiful way to leave the series.
It just feels like…
I don’t know, it just feels right to me."
it’s not the highest high, and it’s not the lowest low that we remember.
It’s the beautiful, peaceful times.
And I think Dan executes that perfectly."
Susan Kelechi Watson (Beth)
“I think this landing is stuck.
I don’t know anything else that needs to be said or done.
I really think that he did stick the landing in it.
And you’re talking about someone who’s been working on the last episode since season 3.
This has been three years in the making.
I think in his mind, he knew the last episode when he knew the first episode.
So this landing has been stuck for a while.
We just now get to share it with everybody.”
It’s an exhale that says, like, ‘Okay, now I can say goodbye.'"
Justin Hartley (Kevin)
“There’s the funeral.
But the episode is not necessarily just about the funeral.
It’s about the people that are attending it and where they’re going from there.
So, it’s pretty special, pretty special.
But coupled with that, they’ll have a smile on their face….
I think end of the show is pretty uplifting, actually.”
Milo Ventimiglia (Jack)
“It reminded me of the first episode.
I just saw a lot of beauty in its simplicity.
There’s a lot of pressure that TV shows can put on themselves to really have this perfect landing.
I thought it was really beautiful.
I was really moved by it.”
And their children will have children will have children.
This story could just go on forever and ever and ever.’
“Us” airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
