Ausmund posted:The show isn't really about the departed. The flashback pre-departer episode in season 1 was a big clue on that. There is something much bigger going on. Definitely. The show is about survivors of tragedy and picking up the pieces of your life after a tragedy. I think people who want to watch the show just to find out what happened are watching it for all the wrong reasons. We might get a few more clues about the Departure event in this season but I don't feel the creators have any responsibility to explain it. Perrotta certainly didn't feel a responsibility to explain it in the book and I don't think they have one, either. The other thing is that, even if they explain the Departure in some way, they would do the show a disservice to give anyone any sort of closure even if they discover more about the event. The whole thing with tragedy is that people often attempt to understand why as though it will help them cope better with the aftermath, but it rarely does.

Matt Zerella posted:They were feeling sad and down and jumped on a trampoline. Trampolines are fun and good. This isn't hard. On The Watch Lindelof said they got the idea from someone on the writing staff's aunt (iirc). They just wanted something that was genuinely joyful and fun and an activity rather than  about stuff. The idea is weird, the show is weird, and I think it worked.
