    This show is amazing. I thought Kevin was actually trying to kill himself with the bag but couldn't, and kept trying. They never showed that he stopped every time like he said to Nora. And she's a badass for putting up the picture of the dead tower guy, that was awesome!

    Thats exactly what he was doing. He's starting to realize that Matt and the others are onto something with thinking he has some "otherworldly" power.
    Will be interesting to see if just Nora and Kevin head to Australia or if others join them.

    This is quirky fantastic TV at its finest.

    The opening with the Perfect Strangers theme song was awesome!

    That ending was another look into the future. I guess those 4 women have read the Book of Kevin and are looking for him. Somehow they stumbled onto the property of his father. 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

    if u see ;;ast night episode,connect it so epic why thye got that police dude..just wow

    Yeah it was ok last night. Felt like a waste of an episode....to not have Kevin or Nora in an episdoe at all when there's only 8 episodes in this final season is kinda silly.

    They're taking like half the season to set up the final 4 episodes.

    You just can't give the people a Nora free episode. Can't do it!

    Yeah, I get it and all, but last night wasn't deserving of a full 60 minute episode just to play Memento, or whatever, to come up to the same point as the week before. Nonsense.

    Yeah. It's one of the few episodes in the entire series that I haven't really liked. Can only imagine all the mind fuckery that will be packed tightly into the second half of the season though. I might just wait till they all air and binge them in one sitting...

    From what I've read it sounds like Nora and Kevin do not get to Oz until episode 5, maybe ep 4? And that this season doesn't really get going until 5 episodes in. But who knows - next week's looks pretty good.

    I enjoyed this episode, the acting by S. Glenn was fantastic.
    It helped explain last weeks ending while furthering Kevin Sr's ambitions/beliefs.
    He thinks he's the ONE, and that ladies story at the end and finding him by the cross helped reinstill that belief. Little does he know its actually his son who is the ONE.

    He also mentioned seeing the chicken egg in the TV in Perth when he was tripping. I think that was when Kevin Jr was in purgatory and in actuality he saw Kevin thru the TV and was talking with him.

    I really liked the last episode, usually when actors get long monologues I get annoyed (a la walking dead recently). But this time it was awesome. Really set everything up for me. And that horse lady killing the guy over finding one piece of paper that resembled scripture, crazy. So since he can't do the last dance cuz he killed the guy, which was hilarious, looks like the rain is gonna be coming :)
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

     Great episode! I was wondering how stable Kevin and Nora's relationship actually is/was. It seemed like they were in 2 different head spaces unless they were having sex. This show has done a magnificent job showing the effects of PTSD. Can't wait for next week!

    That episode went way too quick, it was awesome. Love the twist how he could see her and wasn't crazy, but then was because she wasn't really her. Has Nora hit her breaking point, are they really done? I think they need another season!

    Indeed - but liked this character episode wayyy better than the Kevin Sr. one - I think Matt/Eccleston is probably the most underrated character/actor on this show.

    Agreed....much more entertaining standalone episode than the other one.  It just feels like a waste to have these type of episodes when they only have 8 episodes for this final season.  Can't believe there's only 3 left.
