I was thinking he wished to be happy. Dude should've wished that people disappearing didn't happen.
 
i think he either wished for happiness or a family

yeah has to be one of these. If it was family I'm thinking any semblance of a family even if it doesn't include his ex. So Nora and Jill could be enough for him and he would accept it.
 
^that too. And with Aimee gone, they will be a true family with no distractions.
 
Did they ever wrap up the Fed storyline? I know they were going to investigate Gladis'murder but we never heard about that again.

Who is the biggest scumbag on the show? My vote goes to Patty but that's just me.
 
^I don't know if Patti was bluffing but she casually mentioned it was the GR that stoned here. If so, that's messed up.

Christine is up there with biggest scumbag. Not Tom's fault you fell for a "you're the only one that will connect the bridge" or whatever he was spewing. And then you ditch him with the baby. :{ :lol
 
i think the aftec storyline with cremating the bodies was just to show how the "gov't" deals with groups like the gr 

as far as biggest scumbag: lori/christine for leaving their children

Poor Aimee. I hope we get to see what she's up to next season. Would let her stay at my house and she can eat breakfast with no bra on and her perky nips showing through her shirt.
 
I thought Laurie's initial struggle to tell Kevin Jill was in the house was a scumbag move.
 
I don't really want to watch next season either. Although, it will be on again next summer in the 9 or 10 Sunday slot, and I know I will end up watching it even though I can't stand it.
I'm assuming by next summer The Strain, Masters of Sex, Ray Donovan, and 2 or 3 new good shows on AMC, FX, Showtime, Cinemax, and even HBO will be around by then to give me options.
So you really trying to miss out on a week's worth of discussion over missing white shirts in between episodes?
Hey...your life...
:lol

Yeah, a real sacrifice.
 
The episode gave some answers in its own little way.

There are still frustrating parts about this show. EVERYTHING has to be a mystery. Even small stuff, like the daughter finding Nora's gun and crying. It's not 100% clear why she breaks down or even cares about the gun so much. When almost every scene is written to make you ask "what's going on here?" it gets frustrating.

I'm not sure what to make of the GR's intentions. Right now they just seem lame.
I'm late but let me answer this for you.

She cared about the gun because it signified Nora's pain and craziness following the rapture.

Jill wants to be able to get over all the pain too but thinks it's impossible so when Nora was walking around pretending to be 100% better, her getting rid of the gun was evidence that she was.

So Jill was obsessed with finding out if it was possible to just let go and be better.

And when she really dug around in Nora's, literal, dirty laundry she found the gun hidden amongst her kids things. Right there in the source of her pain.

She realized Nora wasn't better, she just put her hurt to the side temporarily, and Jill realized there was no hope and everyone else was hurting like her too regardless of what they said.

It overwhelmed her and she broke down. Notice her demeanor changed by the time she got home. She had given up hope and resigned herself that life was hopeless. So she joined the GR.
 
The dog he tied up is nice now too so they have a family dog.

Wayne: Ask me a wish, you don't even have to say it, just think it.

Just thought of this ... Other than the 2 kids holding her and tom's hands during the disappearance ... They didn't lose anyone as far as they know

What reason would Jill and Kevin had reason to feel sadness of that day? Only one who knew about losing something is Laurie



On another note. I would have much rather watch Nora get it on with that chick she called instead of her getting shot :rolleyes

Same reason people who didn't lose anyone in a national tragedy or disaster feel unsettled and sad when they see the world around them crumbling.

And Jill did lose someone -- her mom and her nuclear family. **** went to hell after that day.

Kevin talks about how happy she and tom were to see him when he got to the school and was ok, but then as their mom fell apart so did everyone else. Jill lost just as many people as Nora did, even if Nora can no longer see her disappeared family.

It's not like Jill gets to speak to hers...

True true I was looking at it from a completely disappeared stand point

Although that family wasn't as happy as the kids thought though but I guess in her mind it was.

So when did Kevin confess about being with another woman that Laurie told Patti what happened ... And Patti told Kev he had a dirty D?

Picking up the book in a couple days. I always get hooked by these shows with some sort of supernatural, religious stuff and troubled characters fighting through adversity and struggling with their own personal demons. I was a big fan of Lost even though it didn't keep up with the quality of the first season. Anyways this show in many ways is similar.

For my money Kevin is the show. There are other really good performances but I think he killed it this season especially the last episode. I could feel the mans pain he's struggling and it's ironic because after the event all he wants is his family. When he read the Book of Job 23 that was really deep. That scene really got to me and that passage is very well said about God.

One thing Kevin should think about, he's taking a major W dropping his crazy beat looking ex wife for the bae Nora cakes. She even has great lips and skin, Kevin your winning on that brah let Lori be. Best yet you got Killer back B! He desperately needs a bath though Kev

We didn't see Kevin confess but I'm going to guess he must have at some point after the disappearances.

He has a habit of telling the people the truth. He's a good guy.
