I did have to snort at Jack’s line that Blockbuster isn’t going anywhere. And I must ask again…have they filmed all the future scenes with the Baby 3? Because those ten year old actors don’t seem to be aging AT ALL. I’m rewatching DS9 and I can see a difference between Jake of Season 1 and Jake of Season 2.

In that flash-forward scene, I think we saw Kevin’s son as about a ten-year-old. Was that the same actor who plays the younger Kevin?

I thought it was too. [It turns out it’s not.](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10387116/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t22)

Speaking of 11 year old Kevin, how bout him horn-dogging the nurse? 😃

Toby did say “I just talked to Jack and they’re on their way”. Maybe “they’re” is Jack and Kate? How far in to the future is it supposed to be? Would Jack already be with a significant other?

I assumed it was Toby and Kate’s son Jack and he’s coming with his mother.

I can’t figure out what part of the season 2 finale implied that future Deja is in jail. I don’t recall anything like that. She did do some bashing on the cars in that episode. I must have missed something!

Same here. I should have quoted Ivylass. 🙂

Just rewatched the ending. Randall walks in the room, Bec is in bed, Nicky is sitting in the chair. No Miguel.

When Randall comes in he says “I’m your son. Randall.” So I wonder if Bec has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t recognize people anymore.

When Toby arrives he says “I brought the sidewalk chalk.” So that, and Pin the Tail on the Donkey… what’s with the kid stuff?

Just like the hot dogs and crackers for Thanksgiving.

Also, Future Kevin’s acting career must be going well.

Toby: “Kevin’s house is _huge!_”

Yeah it’s interesting that we didn’t see either Future Kate or Future Kevin, only Future Randall.
