I'm still amazed how good the second season was. I thought the first season was decent but was blown away by the second. I still occasionally go back and watch Kevin's kind of bad but awesome karaoke.

I've not yet watched Carnivale but I wonder if some of those shows from that era didn't get a longer extension because of time slots. Nowadays almost any show, especially on HBO, is on demand so people can watch when they want. I would love to see a subscription service like HBO seek feedback directly from their subscribers. I know they watch ratings but an end of year "which shows should we keep" type survey for all subscribers could probably benefit them. Admittedly I know next to nothing about how TV channels are wrong so it is possible they already so something similar or it's a stupid idea.

I didn't get to watch any of this season until this week. Skimming this thread I see many people saying that the Kevin Sr. episode was either slow or out of place. I think it holds up a lot better when you get to immediately watch the next episode. But now I'm sad I have to wait for the next episode like the rest of you :(.

Clearly everyone on the show are actually the departed and they went to an alternate universe where gumtrees grow in Texas.

Anyone else find it surprising that almost no spoilers have leaked for this season? I remember we had a whole separate thread for LOST episodes that was spoiler discussion only. Everyone was leaking poo poo back then.

People are letting the mystery be.

I think this thread has the most consistently positive poster opinions for any show in TV IV. Maybe up there with Better Call Saul and Fargo.

Given the cold open's focus on Laurie going all in and then changing her mind at the last second, I'm going to hold out hope that wasn't the end of her story.

But the odds aren't good. Jesus, what an episode.

Holy poo poo I remember that. Not all of it but I remember the plaid hat and the goose and the rainbow. Man this show...

Why was Laurie suicidal though...

Suicidal thoughts and urges are a lot more complicated than that and even though you could point to a number of things as possible reasons I appreciate the show letting it be vague.

I originally interpreted the shoe question as a grieving mother who wants to try and piece together the last hours of her children's lives. Maybe it's a test to see if Kevin successfully passes over but I doubt that she would do that.

I saw S2 after S3 had been airing, so I knew they'd do something dumb to get them all to Australia. So instead of following a decently interesting GR plot with the revolt against the gatekeeping of salvation, they nuked all of it, had a flash forward and then made Kevin a police chief again so they could do that dumb Too Many Kevins bit. Him being chief was central to the plot of the first season, but doesn't do anything for the plot after that.

I'm honestly not asking this to antagonize, but what shows do you enjoy?

I like to think that Nora didn't go to wherever the departed went rather she was transported to a timeline where she became a cop in Minnesota for several years before coming back.

It's probably been said already, but I'd love to watch just a few episodes of the world where 98% of the people vanished and people have to migrate and find others, ultimately consolidating but leaving vast amounts of the world vacant, then after several years this scientist who was thought to have vanished appears, followed by a few hundred others who appear sporadically in different parts of the world.
