If they could not change the title sequence from last season I'd appreciate it.

This show is really awesome and we are spoiled loving rotten finding ways to complain they didn't give us a better intro and that's OK.

This show is a masterpiece every single week and I'm eternally grateful to everyone involved.

I figured Kevin regressing back to his down-home police chief persona was kind of thematically on point in a show mainly about people futilely trying to get their old lives back despite batshit crazy things happening to them. It's A Good Show, people.

Like it was a socially-segregated place full of the same charlatans like the goat guy where people were willing to murder him and his family in service of and because of that division. Like I just don't understand how a guy feels driven to serve those kinds of people, especially after he'd lost connection to his father.

Isn't Jarden an open community in this season? I thought the idea was that it was just another town after what happened three years prior, and Kevin was keeping the peace. I might be wrong.

Like if you want to buy into Lindelof's story that this is still a "character study", why would you have a three year time jump when these characters have changed drastically in the span of days or hours. You're kinda disrespecting your audience to say "and then for three years after an armed insurrection and drone strike on a cult that invaded the town, everybody stayed basically the same" and then a month after that, they all leave the country and their relationships.

A three year time jump doesn't say "these characters have been back to normal for three years" it means "it took three years for these characters to get back to normal".

Getting back to normal is a really big part of character development and arguably the main drive for every character on the show; it's insane to skip it.
Time jumps happen all the...time in television. You could argue it's cliche but no it's not insane.

Kevin might've told everyone in his life that he was just visiting his dad in Australia. Laurie had no idea he was still searching.
