I didn't mind the all-over-the-place so much because at least they were trying to tie together some of these new characters with the older ones. Did I miss something, though? Why was the soldier woman RV shopping with Kevin and Nicky? Just because they were all at that meeting together and/or Nicky threw something through that window, etc.? Seems flimsy to me. I mean, sure, you might want to tag along if a celebrity asks you to go RV shopping (ha ha), but she didn't seem all that enamored of Kevin at ALL and was very standoffish for most of the episode. That whole bit seemed forced.
I think the baby-bonding thing with Kevin and The Manny was simply to find a way for the woman soldier (we gotta find out her name <snort>) to soften toward Kevin. Notice that she DID soften a little and even laughed. Still, though, a long scene and anecdote just to get a chuckle out of that woman.
I think the scenes with Toby and Kate bickering in the car are the seeds of (perhaps) why we seen future-Toby without Kate. Perhaps the beginning of the end? EXCEPT that, of course, why wouldn't Kate be at a family gathering in the future instead of Toby? It's HER family. Either they're tricking us and she just shows up later (and possibly because they're divorced and not living together), or she has died. They can torture us with that unknown bit for years if they want to.
I do love this stupid show, too, though.
And I love how Phylicia Rashad (sp?) can so easily play the younger version of herself and it doesn't look stupid or forced.
