I'm gonna miss this show so much.

You know sometimes I disagreed when people said there was nothing like this on television. I was wrong. I was very wrong.

Agreed completely.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Man, the pressure to go back to the "hotel" world for a third time, how easily it could have gone wrong, but nope. Hit it out of the park. I love how they tied it down to Kevin's internal conflict and his inability to articulate what it is he wants.

Absolutely amazing.

 

[oatmeal]

Only thing I wish was that there was some sort of dog take over in the government.

Amazing episode though. No idea what will happen next. Seems like the departure didn't happen.

 

[BrightLightLava]

The afterlife is real obsessed with Kevin's ding dong.

Remember that in International Assassin he got a pat down and the guy made a comment then too.

(I mean, I get it).

 

[~Kinggi~]

Whats crazy is i feel like this episode was literally the big showdown. They really didnt quite have the budget to live up to their ambitions. Like, they literally stopped the great flood and saved the world and the final episode is gonna be an epilogue wrap-up. Damn shame. First 2 seasons did a damn fine job hyping this up and they are kind of salvaging what they can now.

...I wouldn't really say that's accurate. The point of the show wasn't a big epic world saving event (and he didn't save the world, it wasn't actually ending), it's just about people going through some heavy stuff.

 

[ezekial45]

That was easily my favorite episode of the series. That was just fucking wonderful.

Man, I'm gonna miss this show. I'm not ready for it to end.

 

[Justin]

Man that was pretty heavy at the end. I thought it was obvious that Kevin wanted to die but could never say it but I take away from the end is that he really just wants it be with Nora but was so insucere that he pushed her away. If he rushes to find her next week only to discover she fried herself it will be heartbreaking.

Yep, completely. The last page of that romance novel, phew. I'm really curious to see where Kevin goes from there.

I'm really looking forward to the finale next week but also tempering my expectations a bit. I don't expect any answers - I'm just going to try and enjoy the ride. I'll definitely have some tissues available because this show makes me emotional as fuck.

Absolutely brutal in the best possible way. I adore this episode.

 

[blame space]

Yeah Jesus

 

[hey_monkey]

I'm so glad someone here had already commented on that thud. I died.

 

[backflip10019]

Damn that was good. I'm gonna miss this show.

 

[Justin]

Was kind of expecting Laurie to show up as a gut punch to Kevin.

 

[BrightLightLava]

I'm so glad someone here had already commented on that thud. I died.

The thud first, then everyone sneaking peaks.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Was kind of expecting Laurie to show up as a gut punch to Kevin.

Same here. Id be fine if the scooba scenario was her exit but I feel she deaerves more.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Was kind of expecting Laurie to show up as a gut punch to Kevin.

I'm hoping that her not being there means she's not dead, but yeah, I was expecting her to be there as well.

 

[blame space]

Unless I completely misunderstood last week's episode I don't think that is going to happen

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Great epiaode. Love the music from the other side.

 

[Einchy]

"What now?"

I guess the last episode will be all about Nora...maybe?

 

[hey_monkey]

The thud first, then everyone sneaking peaks.

That whole sequence was just the perfect dash of comedic surreality. And I was SO glad to see Patti!

eta:

"What now?"

I guess the last episode will be all about Nora...maybe?

Yeah, that "what now?" was tops. Really just the whole question of the show.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Unless I completely misunderstood last week's episode I don't think that is going to happen

Also there was Amy's interview with Hollywood Reporter about the episode where she outright said "It's a goodbye." Can't imagine everyone here missed that, and it's even referenced again in this week's post-episode interview with Justin

Her story's over, next week is the end of everyone else's, especially Nora

 

[firehawk12]

They didn't even send the finale out to critics, so I hope it's fucking crazy or I'll be disappointed. lol

There was never any great flood the crazy dad was just crazy I think

 

[oatmeal]

That's because Theroux suggested the first 7 and not the finale, while nude of course.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

This season was never about the end of the world, it was about people wanting the world to end because it'd be easier than going on

 

[aronnov reborn]

Man i'm hoping for some sort of happy ending.. like season 1 and Season 2.....

I have a feeling though Kevin actually wants to live now... and yeah... the irony.

 

[oatmeal]

Just heard that the finale is 15 mins longer...whoo

 

[oatmeal]

Also, that was some serious fucking gross gore.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

I didn't like this episode. It was a little too busy.

 

[BTM]

1 more to go guys. It's been quite the ride

 

[The One and Done™]

I didn't quite understand that episode. Someone please explain.

 

[Epcott]

I won't lie... I was squeamish when Kevin began cutting. Does this mean his own personal afterlife is nuked and gone? Damnit Lindelof... your friggen endings and head games.

 

[BrightLightLava]

I didn't quite understand that episode. Someone please explain.

Kevin realized that he drove Nora away because he was scared, and realized that his suicidal tendencies were Keeping him from moving forward in his life so he nuked the afterlife. The real world was never going to end, and has no answers for anyone.

Also, he's got a top notch hog.

 

[stenbumling]

Didn't surpass International Assassin for me – not that I ever expected it to – but it was pretty fucking great. Hearing Kevin squeeze out

Spoiler

"Patti Levin?"

was so good.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The length of that penis scanner tho

👀

<____<

Lmao @ the thud that happens when Kevin puts his dick on the machine &#129315;

>____>

Only thing I wish was that there was some sort of dog take over in the government.

Ugh, same. There should have at least been a reference or something. Crossing my fingers for doge time in the finale.

 

[Chitown B]

I feel like I'm supposed to "get it" but I don't. And I feel like I get Twin Peaks, and LOST, and many other shows that most don't

Is the other world just a fever dream? Ugh.

 

[Mrstriker09]

Im liking this season a lot but season 2 is still my favorite, anyone else agree?

 

[Erigu]

Well, that was shit.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

The penis scanner scene had me in stitches. *THUD*

So I'm guessing the last episode is Kevin going out to stop Nora, maybe? Seems like he finally realized that he messed up.

 

[5taquitos]

Well, that was shit.

You've now spent 27 hours of your life voluntarily doing something you hate.

 

[neshcom]

Who was the Vice President? Feel like I was supposed to remember her, but I definitely did not.

 

[Chitown B]

Who was the Vice President? Feel like I was supposed to remember her, but I definitely did not.

Uh, Liv Tyler?

 

[Epcott]

Who was the Vice President? Feel like I was supposed to remember her, but I definitely did not.

Head of the cult (forgot her name).

Didn't realize Kevin (the mistakenly drowned one) was checking out Kevin's "door authorization" until after the episode &#128518;

 

[fade_]

Who was the Vice President? Feel like I was supposed to remember her, but I definitely did not.

Meg played by Liv Tyler who took over Guilty Remnant.

 

[Erigu]

You've now spent 27 hours of your life voluntarily doing something you hate.

I don't hate watching bad stuff.

 

[ezekial45]

This episode was also a wonderful callback to the first episode this season with the town in Australia waiting for the end of the world. I was wondering how that was gonna come into play again.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I was surprised Kevin didn't run into Laurie. From a story perspective it would've been completely unnecessary since they had just said their goodbyes. But I was willing to bet money she was going to be his Vice Pres. And that's even with still having noticed Liv Tyler's name in the opening credits.

 

[moondoggerr]

Loved it. Nothing else grabs me like this show. I'm very excited for the finale. Seeing how they explain old Nora will be intriguing.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

So, are only people who are dead in his perception in that world? Great episode, could have ended there.
