"No sign of Erika Murphy yet, and barely a mention, though it sounds like she’s alive. But not well, of course. At the very least, it’s clear she doesn’t share John’s sense of optimism about Evie’s fate."

I know they’re going to have a new theme song for this season, but i absolutely love “let the mystery be.” it's exactly how i feel about the mysteries of life and death - though i myself, being a pagani-ish/scientist type, personally lean towards the “carrots and little sweet peas” philosophy, or at least that (if…

me too. i think that prologue was set in early settled australia (did they dress that way then?). thus, i also though that old woman on the bike was the same woman from 1844 who believed, and for some reason also couldn't die. then i saw it was an aged nora and was like "oh, flash forward, of course." but if she's…

this was a great episode, but ghost patti rickrolling kevin was one of my favorite tv moments ever.

kevin probably bought some on the way there? or they were in his car and he found them after he and nora got in it to go look for the girls?

this wasn't really a recap, and i'm 3 years late here but… are we supposed to assume that wayne or one his henchmen killed that guy at the gas station, then left, then drove back when tommy and christine arrived? i didn't understand why he was dead. so they'd have the place to themselves i guess? i felt like that…

i fucking love veep, mother fucker,

the entire CAST of perfect strangers departed.

i think this show is about delving into the depths of human psychology and religion in a way that i've rarely see any other show do. it's like aliens were doing an anthropological experiment on humans and were like "hmm, let's see what happens if we just disappear 2% of them… not enough to disrupt society, but enough…

"and being careless with religious iconography!" i'm sorry but that made me LOL.

ann dowd is actually a tremendous actress!

there are scenes with people watching the news (and of course, perfect strangers), but yeah, you'd think you'd see more kids on iphones and stuff.

also, his car died when he was like "i'm fucking tired of this fucking baby fucking jesus." kinda lame, kinda funny.

i think their draw is that it is a relief, for some people, in just letting go of these bedrock ideals like "family" and "meaning." of finally stopping to pretend everything is normal when it's not ok. that life is pointless, in the grand scheme of things (well, this is always the case), and the very laws of…

is there really an app like that?

ok, this has been driving me crazy since the first time i watched this show. matt, we already KNOW it wasn't the rapture, because people departed from all over the world, china, india, iran, many countries which are not christian-majority, have had millions of people disappear. that's your proof. right there. no…

thank you, episode, for ensuring that every time i try to lighten my mood by watching 30 rock (yes, i do this a lot), i will now experience a feeling of sickening brutality whenever kathy geiss shows up.

it's actually right outside the city (NYC), not upstate. and the demographics are correct with their color, but not their religion… there would be a lot more jews in a suburb of NYC.

jews are also considered white. there's been a few hate crimes against them in the past, i believe.

i can't decide if wayne is placebo effect either. but the placebo effect is real, so that doesn't invalidate wayne, or at least his effect on people.
