whew! I feel better now. for a minute there, I thought our protagonist was going to start cutting herself.

indeed. and in the past three months I've discovered and fallen in love with Rory Scovel, so now I'm incredibly jealous of that autograph.

maybe you shouldn't own a TV.

but not much more.

cool story, bro.

agreed. I'm just saying that I've learned not to apply "real world" rules and decision-making to this sometimes frustrating show. I keep having to remind myself that people dealing with the aftermath of something so mind-bending as the Departure would act in completely bat-shit ways.

sick anachronistic burn from the apple fanboy.

haha. investment portfolio. if we want to get ridiculous, there's a good chance the markets haven't stabilized since the Departure.

whoopsie-daisy.

you and every other teenager.

upvoted because dwb123 is clearly an idiot.

I don't know; it rang false to me. I kept thinking, why isn't Nora asking him for details? after all, that's a pretty huge and screwed up confession. but then I thought, well, this show does take place in a heightened reality considering everyone in the world experienced the Sudden Departure, so maybe the characters…
