  1. Didn't TPTB already deny that they'd give an explanation for the departures? If that's the case, are we supposed to just watch all these characters flounder in pain for (at least) another season?

    Don't get me wrong, this episode was really good. I loved seeing different sides to the characters, and it was nice that some of our conclusions were correct. What I want to know is what I should care about on this show? Should I root for the characters to find a way to move on without magic hugs? For these folks to find purpose beyond wearing all white and being 24/7 dicks? For some to get a handle on the voices in their heads? Listen, if I want to deal with looming, unanswered questions that'll never have satisfactory answers, I can do that with my own existence. On a show like this, I want answers.

  2. Oh well. Show's over, doesn't matter anymore anyway.

    Yup.

    What makes me mad about this show is how lazy the whole endeavor has been for the last few seasons. I expect this kind of thing from the CW or Showtime, but Not HBO.

  3. I'm kind of stunned that they presented the graphic chaining, torture and blood-rape of a woman to the point where she goes insane as something we're supposed to cheer.

    What the hell is wrong with people who could produce that, or accept that as "entertainment"?

    Next on HBO, Ariel's Angels, the wacky hijinks of a hardworking Cleveland entrepreneur and his female associates in the basement.

    Yeah, I found it hard to cheer for someone being raped for the rest her life. And when I say "found it hard," I actually meant "impossible."

  4. Hi, I'm a longtime lurker, and newly registered to post on this site.

    I have to thank all the other posters on this board for helping me out with my frustration at this show. It's really good to know that my concerns are held by so many others, and reading this board after viewing an episode is the most entertaining part of this show (for me).

    On the subject of Matt vs. the GR, I have to agree that Matt is the better of the two. Sure, he's dredging up dirty laundry, but he genuinely seems to care for people. His mission is to nurture hope and purpose, while the GR have all the charm of a Herpes outbreak that never seems to subside.

    Perhaps his desperation to find hope is partially selfish, but he wants find light, and he does want to bring others with him. Christopher Eccleston's performance is heartbreaking to me, and one of the few reasons I stick around. With a show this bleak, I have no choice but to support the only character actively searching for something to be positive about.
