Next up: A flowing white gossamer dress, candleabra, Soviet funeral dirge music playing on the phonograph, hubby in a twitchy brood by the fireplace, and Barron hearing "the whispers."

I'm with you. The Monster Series, or whatever you want to call it from the 30's & 40's, was better served with fewer stakes (if you will) and grungier budgets. Aren't Mummy movies scarier when it's just four or five explorers in creepy tombs? Wasn't Dracula scarier when he was just freaking out Harker or appearing as…

Maybe too heady, but hopeful nonetheless.

It looks like The Wire - west coast style. Which is pretty intriguing.

Fair enough.

Or they'd just write Iceman having a fight with cancer.

Stealth best Muppet Movie.

Yes. Or set it in a thoroughly corrupt police force where the cops are the bad guys.

Cool theme to latch on to. Harkens back to Mulholland Drive and it's two convertibles at the beginning that collide; likewise symbolic of the plot & story about to unfold.

Or else they've set themselves up "Twin Peaks-like" if the show should take 20 years to become a cult classic, they've got future adventures to explore!

Kerplunked onto the protective paper sheet on the clinic's exam table, yes.

With him it's the eyebrows. Keeping the conversation focused strictly to the facial area, for the time being.

Plus, even though 20 years have passed, how long has Nora been back? Also they made a point of saying the teleport scientists have been traveling around clandestinely while sending people over. Who knows how many travelers would blab the identity of the inventor. Yes eventually word of successful travel would get…

Erlich owns it, though.

Yeah! Of that 2% a good chunk probably died due to immediate disasters and the complete collapse of world wide society. I wouldn't be surprised if the number plummeted well below 1% before turning around.

Yeah, The Leftovers won the night for me the last three weekends. Twin Peaks is now free to take over (for another 5 weeks, anyway).

Nora Durst's adventures in Bartertown.

All inanimate objects would be the same in both worlds, so baby in the car hopefully made it. Unborn baby Garvey would have appeared on the doctor's table in the clinic. Not good odds of survival.

I agree that last week felt more like the finale, culminating with tonight's sequence of Nora climbing into the pod. After that, what we got tonight was the epilogue. So it was a bit of a come down. But even though it was a softer landing, at the end the show decided to be about Kevin and Nora and really I'm left with…

I love Carrie Coon's teeth.
