Max Richter's music is amazing in the series.

It gets played fairly often throughout the show, but I always really dug the song that plays during the bridge scene.

The music during the Hotel scenes is great and the contrast between tone and the scenes causes me to laugh

Almost done the rewatch, I even enjoyed Meg this season

Any non-spoiler speculation on how the show might end? Finishing the second season today, I thought everyone returning without explanation would be pretty bittersweet.

That or the departed and more appear, I've always thought a multi-universe thing could be going on since Dean "The man with no past" Dogman

Kevin finds a way to contact the departed with his ability to cross over to "the other place" while it's never clear what exactly happened to them, he is able to give closure to a world in great pain and everyone can heal.

Or some of this happens but no one believes him.

It does have some nice parallels to the Crazy Wayne stuff though.

I would watch a season where the departed come come back exactly as they were with absolutely no explanation of what happened. Just focus on the returnees dealing with a world that moved on without them.

Yeah that could be pretty interesting.

Like even if it was just Nora's husband and kids coming back to find out Nora is not only with some other dude but has an entirely different family now, when from their perspective no time at all has passed could alone generate tons of interesting drama.

I really feel like it will end something like this. At least, the season will lead up to the anniversary day of the Departure and then end before showing us the actual day.

Although when I saw the first trailer for this season I though the part with everyone in different locations looking up at the sky in shock was possibly the sun going out, since that's the only thing I can think of that would cause people all around the world to react that way at the same time.

Haven't there been a few shows like this? Like The 4400, The Returned, Les Revenants.

I'd rather they didn't do anything with the departed people, except maybe something small like have departed characters as unremarkable extras in the purgatorial hotel world.

What they don't know is the last episode breaks the fourth wall to follow Lindelof's breakdown as he realizes he's on a deadline but has no idea how to end the show.

Like Raxivace said, it was implied that he wished for his family back together but what he got against all odds was a new family, complete with a new baby and even a new dog.

This is like that Harold Camping guy who kept predicting the end of the world and when it didn't happen would change the date.
