You guys should read up on your Barthes and your Foucault if you're​ bringing the authors into it:

Taking Nora's story at face value really is extremely retarded and demonstrates a total lack of understanding of the finale that has to be, I imagine, the product of a severely broken brain. It also totally diminishes the power of the finale, since the lie and Kevin and Nora's acceptance of it is the whole point of the scene, and the whole point of their character development. It doesn't matter what Lindelof says or doesn't say -- we can only go by what is there.

I finally got around to listening to a podcast with Damon Lindelof and though a lot of it wasn't new, one of the interesting things I learned was the influence The Wizard of Oz and Superman 2 had on the show

And people complain about the quality of front page content these day. Was that kid lowtax's nephew or something?

In light of recent events, I had no idea this was a real thing and not something created for the show:

Burned through this over the last week. Overall I like it, but have mixed feelings. I had no clue about the semi-reboot and was stunned by it, and thought it was a welcome change after the fairly humourless first season. Nora and Matt are excellent characters.

I mostly don't care for Kevin's magic hotel world, although the well sequence was affecting. It doesn't feel surreal, and it's too literal-minded. Probably unfair in that respect that I'm currently watching Twin Peaks, but yeah. I felt the same way about The Sopranos. I also felt Kevin's psychotic breakdown turning out to be supernatural was a letdown, mainly because I was sympathizing with it as a breakdown.

The finale was fantastic. Laurie and Tom's anti-cult work was a great episode.

So is it canon that Kevin stopped the flood or what?
