They get vegetables for dinner!

Read up on David Koresh. Very similar. Only his promise isn't salvation, but survival.

He's totally David Koresh. All the way to the splitting up couples and taking the women as his wives.

I haven't been reading much about the show, so forgive me if this has been talked about ad nauseam, but am I wrong to think maybe MiB was being intentionally cruel to the hosts for all those years in order to make them break through their acceptance/ignorance of the situation and eventually rebel?

No, he shouldn't have done it. But there was a LOT of truth in his words.

Agreed. He's clearly a great actor and he seems like potentially a great character (I don't know the comics), but they have been clumsy (or lazy) in portraying him.

He may be a pacifist but he's also a bad ass. He can knock them all down with his stick and Carl can shoot them in the head.

This is like when everyone hated Walter White's wife because she was no fun and wanted him to stop doing all that crazy shit. Then near the end, we were like, "okay, maybe she had a point." I hope they keep Morgan. They just need to broaden his character beyond just being the pacifist guy.

Why not kill Maggie? After all, she's been killing that southern accent for a few years now. And not in a good way.

I'm not trying to defend Abraham here, but I have a theory. Abraham thinks he is permanently damaged mentally (and thinks Sasha is too—a kindred spirit of sorts). But maybe he thinks there's still a chance for Rosita to stay relatively healthy, mentally speaking. Maybe he dumped Rosita thinking she deserved better…

I think the important message from this episode is to always remember to tip your concierge.

Yes, the creative equivalent, I suppose. For me, when a show's entire premise is based on a huge chunk of people mysteriously disappearing, I expect a few devices like that. I didn't feel disrespected, because I didn't think it was necessarily the easy way out.

I disagree that this is the equivalent to a dream sequence. This was his afterlife journey. In the context of the show, it actually happened.

The was one of the most interesting and captivating hours of TV I've ever watched.

I don't know. His delivery on how 3.0 and 4.0 aren't good enough is Goldberg at his best.

True. He made it rhyme with his accent. Still funny to me though.

I don't know about weirdest lyrics, but worst/best rhymes are from "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie. It it, he rhymes "there" with "year" and "door" with "saw."
