OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

No hyperbole, that was the best season of TV in a long, long time.

Do I need to see season 1?  I bailed after 2 eps.

I say yes. Much of Season 1 is needed to get the full emotional roller coaster of 2

Yeah that was a goddamn amazing season.

My two cents before I dig into Internet opinions that will be better than mine: the last three scenes tied a nice little bow on the themes this show digs into so expertly.

Faith: "I don't understand what's going on." "Me neither."

Community: "What if there's nobody home?" "Then you can come over to my house."

Family: (Kevin walks in to see everyone who is important to him). "You're home."

I'd say the message is that the last one is the most important.

Here's hoping for a season 3.

Not with me in the house! /chork

Anyway, looks good. I predict it'll be a game changer. We can discuss Sunday night.

It was a game changer even if the ratings didn't agree. Go fuck yourself if you didn't love all 2.9 seasons of this. Sunday will be bittersweet

I thought the finale was perfect in that it went in a totally unexpected direction (par for the course) and I thought Nora's story about where the 2% went was outstanding in that it was a pretty straightforward explanation but still punched me in the gut. All this time the show has focused on how the 98% were affected, and how impossible it would be to process the Departure, only to throw a last second curveball in making you consider an even more fucked up scenario.

If true. She may have lied, but I guess we will let the mystery be
