Before I close my Leftovers experience, I have to thank Joshua Alston @realjoshiepooh, for his excellent reviews analysis.

I did not say showing Nora's other world would give us answers; my thought was that it would make us want and look for answers for the series' many mysteries. For me, Nora's monologue was as powerful as Kevin's many otherworldly encounter's. In fact, it was more powerful and fitting of the episode. If there were…

Showing the other world detracts from the love story, the intimacy of the episode. It would have altered our experience of the series, shifting us and the story to one of answers instead of the arc of these people's lives. This is likely why we see Kevin and Nora's first meeting several times. Even the wedding/dance…

This may be the first time I have disagreed with Alex so vehemently. The review equates satisfying with serious, with following narrative conventions. The season finale exemplified the show's DNA. The ludicrous with the heart warming meld to serve us a rewarding remix of the genre. This episode answered many questions…

With Lucy and her father's evolution, are we headed toward a Z and Blend showdown?

I will be shocked if we get a resolution to the crime but I do think we will see the characters' growth to a point where they can tackle life in more meaningful ways. The show has been exceptional about showing how the justice system wrecks lives or more specifically how much it takes to confront and rectify the…

"Sometimes it seems like Jack Falahee and Conrad Ricamora are acting on a different show because of the subtlety and softness they bring."

I totally missed that this is a flash forward. I read the scene as post argument with Oliver.

I don't think she is still on Blacklist. She really only showed up for a few episodes.

What about the Law School President? Annalise is now her lawyer so it would not e surprising if she is in the house. And then of course there is the annoying student who Michaela hates.

I don't buy the reviewers, Alex, premise that the show's design is in transition "… from a rambling and compelling road trip to a broad and ambitious mini-epic…" and that this change is responsible for the awkward tone of the show from week to week. I appreciate the show's willingness to move beyond plug and play…

Ok, it took me a minute to follow your train of thought here. Yes, Frank is trying to 'earn' his way back into the group, though how he goes about it is warped and hella manipulative.
Questions about your theory: 1) Your assumption that Annalise hired a hitman to kill Mahoney and Frank is possible but unlikely. If…

Agreed the writers rock!
I never said he is my favorite but I do acknowledge how fascinating the character is on the show. My current favorites are actually Annalise and Asher due to the actors' performances.

I would argue that his character is probably one of the more complex and interesting. Sure, he isn't throwing shade or giving us physical comedy but like Frank his shattered childhood has created a fragile and broken persona that is quite unpredictable. His purpose on the show is being served (think foil) and his…

Great episode and review. Alex nailed the brilliance of this series, "The show’s strengths have turned toward more consistent serialized storytelling as the breadth and scope of the world (and inner worlds of our characters) deepen, but every once in a while it’s satisfying to get an old-school episode of inspired…

For many politicians are seemingly polished con artists, and isn't Trump the epitome of this? The brilliance of the episode was the inclusions of two characters who illustrate the lunacy of Trump's antics. In the final scene, he is throwing mud at himself, which he literally does in his speeches.

His greatness is amplified by his absence.

"(I'm getting a little confused about Frank's motivation at this point, but I think he will be the only good guy by the end.)" This will require quite a bit in the writing room. Yes, he is psychologically damaged and has been manipulated, but good? I don't see how that becomes his descriptor.

The implication is that her husband's affair(s) sent her tumbling. But she was already a bit shady when she met Wes' mother. And remember, I think she dropped Eve for her husband in what seemed like a not so nice way.

Best line: "Michaela is on a path toward graduation law school with a dual degree in dragging."
