I guess no one saw any of the previews that were constantly being played on NBC. Or even watched the first few minutes of the show, when Rebecca talks about how strangers come into our lives and make a big impact. It was obvious that everyone in this week's episode was going to somehow be connected to the main story.
I didn't find the premiere to be confusing at all. I thought it was good, and it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out.

I'm going with this. This show has always followed this format so it shouldn't be completely surprising. I was wondering how they were going to keep this up now that we have a pretty good picture of the past. Now I see. I'm actually feeling more optimistic as I was tiring of the same old storylines. Last season I kind of backed off of it being "must see". I might now stay tuned.

I never watch commercials, so didn't catch that at all. I knew they would somehow tie into the main story, however for a premier, it isn't IMO a smart way to go. On top of that you don't understand at all how they tie in until the last five minutes. The other characters we have fallen in love with, want to see their storyline. Watching a story of people who you don't know who they are and how they connect for an hour... just didn't jive IMO.
Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought in the earlier seasons this was done pretty regularly. There would be a character you hadn't seen on the show before, and in the last few minutes you'd see how they tied in to the others. It was one of the things that set this show apart and I missed it in the last couple of seasons. I really like that they've brought that format back and I was looking forward to the last five minutes of the episode. It was great!

I agree, I was glad to see they brought back Griffin Dunne's character (Jack's brother), I've always liked him. I think this season is going to be really good. I think they could have shown the main characters a little more and they did at the end but they needed time to set-up the story for the new characters. I mean, it is only an hour show.

But that's kind of how this whole show is. If you didn't like the format of the premier, then you haven't liked the format of the series. Even the very first episode you didn't know until those last few minutes how everything tied in together.

True, but that was for the major characters, and even they were spread out over several episodes.
If this week's episode is introducing new MAJOR characters, they'll need to change the title to This is All of Us.

For the characters we know and love. When they have introduced new characters they have been woven into the episode, not the entire episode. Big difference.
