Le Saboteur posted:I have a bad feeling the ending of this show may leave me feeling a bit unsatisfied but I'm hoping for the best. Apparently, numerous cast members, including Lindelof himself, have said that it's satisfying. Take that as you would, but the man is still sensitive and aware about how everyone in the world took the ending to Lost, and doesn't wish to repeat that. I've never seen Lost, just going by what I've read.

This episode made me realize this season was never about the end of the world, it was about people wanting the world to end because that would be easier than keeping going. Just like Kevin sabotaged his relationships because that was easier.

I was kinda hoping for him to just ask someone in the afterlife metaphor eventually "what happened to the departed" and only get a response of "does it matter"

This show is such an emotionally satisfying triumph. I can't wait to see what happens next week. Ann Dowd is still a power to be reckoned with. I watch a lot of television, no other cast delivers more emotional gut wrenching performances than this cast. Think about it, almost all of it is purely dialogue. I will miss this series.

When the camera panned away from the door to show Kevin's face as the VP walked in, I was expecting the VP to be Nora, because then there would be the added tragic notes of knowing that not only did she die and Kevin didn't know until now, but also that her radiation thing killed her instead of sending her to the departed. Though I guess that wouldn't explain Laurie's absence.Professor Shark posted:I have the piano version of Where Is My Mind in my playlist for driving to work Bulky Bartokomous posted:Lost all the way.

Long after peak TV is over and people have chronicled what occurred and all the best of lists have been written and all the breaking bads have been discussed. I think this may be the most important show that has ever been created.

I feel this episode really told viewers that, other than the departure, nothing "supernatural" is going on and that everyone is just getting crazier. In the other place Kevin learns absolutely nothing he doesn't already know and only meets people he already knows are dead. He may just be addicted to being asphyxiated. Edit: I take back that he doesn't learn anything in the other place. He learns about himself.

There was nothing really wrong with that episode, I just wasn't super into it. Especially as the second to last episode. The first hotel episode was something special and this felt like a lot of retread and wheel spinning in an imaginary world when the next episode is the end of the series. Like "Across the Sea", it probably would have fit better earlier in a final season.

Goddamn, that narration during the promo for the next episode... Can't wait. I liked this episode, it was crammed full of happenings, which is nice. The last shot in the etherworld of Patti and Kevin watching the bombs fall was nice. I have to ask, maybe I'm just dumb, maybe I can't quite piece it together, but if the etherworld/afterlife/whatever it is is like a polar opposite of the real world, then what does nuking it signify, saving the real world?

Nuking it is Kevin making a definitive decision to never come back to this place, despite the fact that it's the only place he's ever felt like he's had any real purpose. Whether it's actually the afterlife or just some mental construct he's created for himself to work out his issues and feel important, he's recognized that constantly bailing on his own reality is not healthy for himself or the people he loves.

I noticed in the final scene that both Kevins, John, Michael and the dog were there, but I didn't see Grace (unless she was out on the lawn and I didn't see her). Wonder if that means something happened to her during the storm, or if she was just inside. Does anyone know if next week's finale is extended length? I feel like there's still a lot of wrap up for the usual ~1 hr run time.

Only Matt and Nora need to be wrapped up now. Both Kevins(Sr. and JR.) and the Murphys stories were perfectly concluded in this episode. I don't know what else there is to say about them.

I was more wondering if there might be some stuff next week like a flash back or something during the storm for the non afterlife faring characters mostly. I'm not expecting everything wrapped up in a neat little package. I'm also hoping there's at least a quick look at whether or not things went crazy back in Jardin. Is the inflatable Busey okay?!

Felt like that episode could have been the series finale itself. "What do we do now?" as the lingering note the show leaves on literally and thematically I really liked the idea of Kevin having to destroy himself and this other world though. It's great the show has always been able to edge into the supernatural while applying it in ways that make it personally impactful or cathartic to the characters and while this episode didn't have the shock or craziness of International Assassin, it still felt like it nicely completed that circle and sent Kevin back in a new and better light. I also liked how he had 3 tasks to do, got nothing for each of them in response, and then sorta bullshitted to Grace and the others about it by leaving out the important details.

Holy Wayne maybe but I'd chalk that up to more people getting what they needed and him just being a good con-man/cult leader Season 2 goes a bit heavier and blatant with the whole returning from the dead part.

I liked the episode, despite it being somewhat of a retread and the dumb jump cuts to explain what was meant when he read from the book. Dream logic scenarios to descripe an inner emotional and mental state (when done well, mind) is totally my poo poo.

The question is how much Kevin Sr told Kevin about his encounter with Chris, because he mentioned "I told your father there is no song to stop the rain" which he did but I wonder if Kevin knew that.
