Storyline

- TriviaEpilogue: "In the early 1970s, Nasir Ahmed led a team of researchers who developed the Discrete Cosine Transform. This technique is still used by companies as part of their image and video-sharing technology. You don't know his name but Nasir and his team are responsible for keeping us connected today. He and his wife Esther recently celebrated their 56th anniversary. We video chatted to hear their story."
- Quotes
Rebecca Pearson: And even when we are old fogeys living out here in the woods one day like witches from some children's fairy tale, we're still gonna be close to them.
Jack Pearson: Didn't realize we were going to be witches.
Rebecca Pearson: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna let myself really go.
Jack Pearson: Oh, okay.

Featured review
A Perfect, Moving Snapshot
With a show as special as "This Is Us," there's always a chance you'll experience that rare episode you know will be timeless (see "Memphis" from Season 1). Rarer still, though, is the episode that perfectly captures a specific moment in time.
Years from now, when time has dulled the urgency of this pandemic, "In the Room" will probably seem like a dated remembrance of a difficult time. Know this, though-in the moment (as the US was approaching a half million deaths from COVID), this episode was a remarkable snapshot of exactly how we lived our lives. It was the choice, however, to incorporate Nasir Ahmed that turned a very good episode into something deeply personal and profoundly moving. In that moment the importance of his Ahmed's work is revealed, "This Is Us" has never felt more like "All of Us."
