* Season one
|
||||||
|
** Episode three
|
||||||
|
The painting is Job on the Dunghill by Durer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From wikipedia:
|
||||||
|
#+begin_quote
|
||||||
|
The Hebrew Book of Job is part of Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Hebrew
|
||||||
|
Bible. Not much is known about Job based on the Masoretic Text.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The characters in the Book of Job consist of Job, his wife, his three
|
||||||
|
friends (Bildad, Eliphaz, and Zophar), a man named Elihu, God, and
|
||||||
|
angels (one of whom is named Satan).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It begins with an introduction to Job's character—he is described as a
|
||||||
|
blessed man who lives righteously in the Land of Uz. The Lord's praise
|
||||||
|
of Job prompts an angel with the title of "satan" ("accuser") to
|
||||||
|
suggest that Job served God simply because God protected him. God
|
||||||
|
removes Job's protection and gives permission to the angel to take his
|
||||||
|
wealth, his children, and his physical health (but not his life).
|
||||||
|
Despite his difficult circumstances, he does not curse God, but rather
|
||||||
|
curses the day of his birth. And although he anguishes over his
|
||||||
|
plight, he stops short of accusing God of injustice. Job's miserable
|
||||||
|
earthly condition is simply God's will.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the following, Job debates with three friends concerning his
|
||||||
|
condition. They argue whether it was justified, and they debate
|
||||||
|
solutions to his problems. Job ultimately condemns all their counsel,
|
||||||
|
beliefs, and critiques of him as false. God then appears to Job and
|
||||||
|
his friends out of a whirlwind, not answering Job's central questions.
|
||||||
|
Job, by staying silent before God, stresses the point that he
|
||||||
|
understands that his affliction is God's will even though he despairs
|
||||||
|
at not knowing why. Job appears faithful without direct knowledge of
|
||||||
|
God and without demands for special attention from God, even for a
|
||||||
|
cause that all others would declare to be just. And the text gives an
|
||||||
|
allusion to Job 28:28: "And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the
|
||||||
|
Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
God rebukes the three friends and gives them instruction for the
|
||||||
|
remission of sin, followed by Job being restored to an even better
|
||||||
|
condition than his former wealthy state (Job 42:10–17). Job is blessed
|
||||||
|
to have seven sons, and three daughters named Jemimah (which means
|
||||||
|
"dove"), Keziah ("cinnamon"), and Keren-happuch ("horn of
|
||||||
|
eye-makeup"). His daughters were said to be the most beautiful women
|
||||||
|
in the land.

In the Greek Old Testament Book of Job
|

|
#+begin_quote
|
||||||
|
This man is described in the Syriac book as living in the land of
|
||||||
|
Ausis, on the borders of Idumea and Arabia: and his name before was
|
||||||
|
Jobab; and having taken an Arabian wife, he begot a son whose name was
|
||||||
|
Ennon. And he himself was the son of his father Zare, one of the sons
|
||||||
|
of Esau, and of his mother Bosorrha, so that he was the fifth from
|
||||||
|
Abraam. And these were the kings who reigned in Edom, which country he
|
||||||
|
also ruled over: first, Balac, the son of Beor, and the name of his
|
||||||
|
city was Dennaba: but after Balac, Jobab, who is called Job, and after
|
||||||
|
him Asom, who was governor out of the country of Thaeman: and after
|
||||||
|
him Adad, the son of Barad, who destroyed Madiam in the plain of Moab;
|
||||||
|
and the name of his city was Gethaim. And his friends who came to him
|
||||||
|
were Eliphaz, of the children of Esau, king of the Thaemanites, Baldad
|
||||||
|
sovereign of the Sauchaeans, Sophar king of the Minaeans.

** Episode five
|
||||||
|
Christine means "follower of Christ". I think Christine is carrying
|
||||||
|
the second coming of Christ. Tom is representative of "Doubting
|
||||||
|
Thomas" aka Judas. Tom will not believe Christine is carrying the
|
||||||
|
second coming of Christ.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Episode seven
|
||||||
|
This episode I noticed a crazy amount of blue, as someone else mentioned. Rewatch it; it’s fun. Besides the obvious mailboxes, the color is everywhere. The blue wrapped around a tree during the fridge in the woods scene, when Kevin runs through the GR chasing his Daddy, almost all the doorways, awnings, flags, clothing is blue. When Tommy is stalking the mailbox, there is a blue ribbon on his antenna and a blue ribbon on the blue billboard above the mailbox.There is a shit load of blue in Nora’s room. Several women in particular in the episode wearing blue shirts. There are lots of water references. Sex scene is in all blue. And there are way too many more to mention. I don’t think it “means” anything per say, however, like a pink ribbon for breast cancer, the blue ribbon symbolizes the day of the departed. I think Damon is weaving the color in just as a subliminal and symbolic device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Both Tommy and Kevin also handle wads of cash in their scenes. Just another tie in there.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- This episode made a point of attempting to defacing Wayne a bit and
|
||||||
|
validating Kevin Sr. Doesn’t mean one is a nut job and the other
|
||||||
|
isn’t, but they sure went out of there way to punch holes in Wayne’s
|
||||||
|
authenticity and lend support to Sr.’s voices. Him being guided by
|
||||||
|
them to save Jill alone is an example. All the relevant clues you
|
||||||
|
all found in the Nat Geo issue too.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- I predict the theory someone mentioned about the GR using that
|
||||||
|
Departed Replica Service Nora stumbled across at the convention will
|
||||||
|
happen. In the previews you see a bunch of people’s clothes layed
|
||||||
|
out into outfits on the floor. They took all those photos of the
|
||||||
|
departed, which is what they would need to have an accurate dummy
|
||||||
|
made. That scream Nora makes seems like an appropriate reaction to
|
||||||
|
finding replicas of her ex and her kiddos in her house. And the “We
|
||||||
|
made them remember” note we see the GR scribble. Yup, I think that’s
|
||||||
|
gonna happen.

** Episode nine
|
||||||
|
So the Departure freed everyone from their burdens, whether they
|
||||||
|
wanted to be free or not.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Kevin: Freed from making the mistake of cheating on his wife. In the
|
||||||
|
moment I'm sure he didn't want that lady to disappear, but the
|
||||||
|
Departure gave him a way of escaping the mistake he knew he was
|
||||||
|
making.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Laurie: Freed from having a baby that she couldn't handle. She hadn't
|
||||||
|
told Kevin yet, and she knew she was emotionally not prepared for
|
||||||
|
another baby. Of course she didn't wish that the baby would disappear,
|
||||||
|
but the Departure made it so she wouldn't have to deal with having the
|
||||||
|
baby.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Nora: Freed from the stress of family. Pretty obvious. She didn't want
|
||||||
|
her family to literally disappear, but in that moment she was probably
|
||||||
|
thinking how much easier her life would be without them.
|
||||||
|
- Also the mom with the crying baby and the family with the disabled son
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Departure - in theory - should have made everyone's life easier.
|
||||||
|
By taking away all the stressors, the Departure is really God/the
|
||||||
|
Universe's way of showing people what is truly important in life.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Season two
|
||||||
|
** Episode one
|
||||||
|
In astronomy, axis mundi is the Latin term for the axis of Earth
|
||||||
|
between the celestial poles.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Regarding the opening scene: beyond thematic/symbolic meaning, I think
|
||||||
|
there's something literally and physically important about that spot.
|
||||||
|
The ledge where the cavewoman died is the same one that the girls
|
||||||
|
parked their car on when they went missing, overlooking the pond where
|
||||||
|
Kevin tried to kill himself. This is shown through the camera work
|
||||||
|
(which focused on the light gray rocky surface of the ledge in the
|
||||||
|
transition between the cavewoman dying and Evie and her friends going
|
||||||
|
for a swim). Modern-day residents like to attribute the earthquakes in
|
||||||
|
Jarden to fracking or gas explosions, but it seems that spot has been
|
||||||
|
prone to earthquakes for ages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, when Kevin was in the well with Patti, she said: “Our cave
|
||||||
|
collapsed, Kevin. Now we can spend all our time digging through the
|
||||||
|
rubble, looking for signs of life. Or…we can transform.” Unless the
|
||||||
|
cave from the story is popular mythology in the Leftovers universe,
|
||||||
|
it's an odd thing to say. There was also some sort of cave incident in
|
||||||
|
Australia, according to some of the in-show newscasts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Long story short, I think the scene is going to show its significance
|
||||||
|
in Season 3. Perhaps it's some kind of portal to another world (or to
|
||||||
|
Australia).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Something about the behaviors of the 3 missing girls stuck with me..
|
||||||
|
It seemed they 'put on a good show' whenever visible or in public,
|
||||||
|
acting like normal teenage girls. But the only two shots when they
|
||||||
|
were alone resonated, specifically: 1) when they're in the car riding
|
||||||
|
back from swimming in the beginning, dead quiet - no music - still
|
||||||
|
faces. and 2) when they're running through the woods naked... I don't
|
||||||
|
know what any of this means, or if there's any significance. But it
|
||||||
|
did get me thinking about what lies underneath with them, and if it
|
||||||
|
has anything to do with their disappearance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1: To show that Jarden is inherently special or magical.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Q: What’s the significance of the prologue, which takes place in the same spot that becomes Miracle?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A: The episode is called “Axis Mundi,” an ancient thought that goes back thousands of years. The idea is there are parts of the planet that served as a cosmic pole around which the entire universe circles. So for instance, the pyramids at Giza, the temple in Jerusalem, the Kaaba in Mecca are axis mundis. What’s really remarkable about an axis mundi is that putting something sacred there is not what makes it sacred. It’s that the land itself was already sacred for some mysterious reason, and that’s why people put something there. Jarden is an axis mundi. To indicate that, Damon [Lindelof] came up with this clever prologue, which will of course pay off in subsequent episodes. The inherent sanctity and magic of this place — whatever it is — is an eternal thing. It’s not just something that happened at the sudden departure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and 2: to parallel the cavewoman saving/finding the cavebaby and Nora saving/finding Lily
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Q:Is there a parallel between the Eve-like woman in the prologue whose baby is rescued by another woman, and Nora finding Holy Wayne’s baby on the Garvey’s doorstep?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A: Very much so. Everything that happens, the symbolism, is quite deliberate. You should read something into everything you see.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
** Episode three
|
||||||
|
I'm realizing that what this show is absolutely excelling at in its
|
||||||
|
second season is sowing doubt. The MIT guys mention their thesis, and
|
||||||
|
it's enough to make Nora impulsively buy a house in Jarden. The former
|
||||||
|
GR member gets a note saying "Any Day Now" and it's enough to send her
|
||||||
|
back over the edge. Kevin's visions of Patti, the psychic warning to
|
||||||
|
John, Tom's story about his powers. Instinctively, we say it's a
|
||||||
|
hallucination, fake, not real. Against the laws of nature. But as
|
||||||
|
Kevin's dad said last week, "The laws of fucking nature have seemed a
|
||||||
|
little upside down lately."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm loving the craven commodification of the rapture that keeps
|
||||||
|
popping up. Last season, we had the Departure convention with uncanny
|
||||||
|
valley dolls and feel-good self-help pablum authors. This season, we
|
||||||
|
got Miracle, which is basically Mecca-meets-Disneyland. Now, before we
|
||||||
|
even get to the theme song, we get Departure Insurance. It's such a
|
||||||
|
ridiculous concept -- how could you possibly estimate the likelihood
|
||||||
|
of another departure? It's not like it's flood insurance, where you
|
||||||
|
can look up weather patterns or something.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The publishers seemed over the top, but -- and maybe I'm dating myself
|
||||||
|
here -- I vaguely remember how quickly the September 11th attacks got
|
||||||
|
commercialized. There were songs and books and commerative everything.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This show is supposed to be about how people deal with tragedy, but
|
||||||
|
for how universal the rapture was, it's taking an American
|
||||||
|
perspective. Which is fine, but this show is particularly about how we
|
||||||
|
deal with shared tragedy in the United States.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Episode four
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So the population has now balanced out to 9,261. Isaac leaves town,
|
||||||
|
Kevin's family of four come in, and the three girls depart. Also, in
|
||||||
|
the prayer circle as Nora is going into the woods to look for the
|
||||||
|
girls, they chant, "We are the 9,261. We are spared." It sounds like
|
||||||
|
they know that departures happen in their town, and that the
|
||||||
|
population always stays the same.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Actually the people that replaced Matt and his wife were the former
|
||||||
|
priest and his wife. The priest had hip surgery in Austin I think.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another Biblical reference: The hotel where Isaac (an important
|
||||||
|
Biblical character) was staying was called Babylon - both a place
|
||||||
|
where people were kept captive but also in Revelation (end times).
|
||||||
|
Babylon is known for captivity and exile.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Virgil was a real Roman poet who represented to the real Dante
|
||||||
|
Alighieri the pinnacle of human reason as well as the limitations of
|
||||||
|
human reason. In The Divine Comedy Virgil was sent by Beatrice to
|
||||||
|
serve as Dante's guide through Hell and Purgatory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Has Patti told him anything that his subconscious mind didn't already
|
||||||
|
know? I'm not sure if I think she's the voice of his hidden
|
||||||
|
personality to his "normal" personality or if I think she's externally
|
||||||
|
trying to get him go somewhere or do something for her.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Episode five
|
||||||
|
Job's wife spoke only once. Same for Matt's in this episode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Good episode. Job beings Matts favorite book is very fitting. The poor
|
||||||
|
guy is constantly getting shit on. Mary being pregnant is the one
|
||||||
|
glimmer of hope he got this episode it was nice to see him feel some
|
||||||
|
joy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm starting to really dislike John. He's a bully who will intimidate
|
||||||
|
anyone doing something he doesn't like. I hope we find out what made
|
||||||
|
him the way he is.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ending was very sad. I admire Matt for saving that man but I hate
|
||||||
|
seeing him take his place. What is he repenting for? How long will be
|
||||||
|
up there? Will someone else take his place? Will he inspire change in
|
||||||
|
the camps?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I don't think it's about him repenting for his own actions. I think
|
||||||
|
he's repenting for the town of Miracle and what it's doing to everyone
|
||||||
|
involved. You can see the separation between "us" vs "them" is driving
|
||||||
|
a father to literally become a road side bandit to find safety for his
|
||||||
|
child. And what is it all worth? An orphan. Did Jesus die on the cross
|
||||||
|
for his own sins? No. He died on the cross for everyone else's sins.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The show was really obvious about one thing, and that is the Job
|
||||||
|
parallel. Matt mentions his favorite book of The bible is Job. In this
|
||||||
|
book, Job is highly favored by God, and is prosperous in all aspects
|
||||||
|
of life. Satan makes a wager with God, that if he let Satan have his
|
||||||
|
way with Job's life, Job would turn his back on him. God takes the
|
||||||
|
bet, and Job loses his wife, children, land, cattle, wealth, and even
|
||||||
|
his health (harsh, I know, but that's the Old Testament God for you).
|
||||||
|
Through all this, Job remains faithful to his god, and Satan is proven
|
||||||
|
wrong about him. Job regains it all back several times over (new wife,
|
||||||
|
many kids, lands, wealth).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I think it's very typical that Matt's favorite book of The bible would
|
||||||
|
be Job. He needs to believe there is a coming back from this low.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Love the "What denomination?" line. Callback to when he was at the
|
||||||
|
casino exchanging money for chips in his episode last season.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9,261 in town. No matter what. Our 4 protagonists come to town, three
|
||||||
|
girls disappear and Isaac. The father and son enter with their wristbands,
|
||||||
|
taking the place of Matt and Mary. Father dies, son stays. Mary goes
|
||||||
|
in, Matt stays outside. It must remain 9,261.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A theory... John's job is be the one who makes sure the numbers don't
|
||||||
|
rise. Therefore, he must be vigilant about squashing any rumors about
|
||||||
|
"miracles" that would increase population in the town. I don't know if
|
||||||
|
everyone is in on it, or he might be one of of a handful of people who
|
||||||
|
know about the numbers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Episode six
|
||||||
|
The brilliance of this show is their ability to present mysteries
|
||||||
|
which are left intentionally ambiguous so that the viewer projects
|
||||||
|
onto the story their own beliefs and interpretations. Every question
|
||||||
|
can be viewed through the lens of the skeptic or the believer. The
|
||||||
|
only truly paranormal occurrence on this show has been the initial
|
||||||
|
disappearance on Oct. 14th. All subsequent anomalies can be
|
||||||
|
interpreted as genuine mystical phenomenon or perfectly explainable
|
||||||
|
depending upon perspective. Did the river drain through supernatural
|
||||||
|
means or was it foreshadowed that the area lies on a fault line and
|
||||||
|
the water slipped through cracks? Does Garvey see a ghost or is he
|
||||||
|
mental ill, a potential genetic disorder shared with his father? Did
|
||||||
|
Holy Wayne truly heal people or were they just ready to accept
|
||||||
|
something they truly wanted to believe in - to be loved and forgiven?
|
||||||
|
I don't think any of these questions will ever truly be given a
|
||||||
|
definitive answer because that flies in the face of the goal of the
|
||||||
|
show, to read to the audience in different ways depending upon what
|
||||||
|
they want to believe.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An interesting note on Wikipedia regarding Azrael:
|
||||||
|
#+begin_quote
|
||||||
|
There is no reference to Azrael in the Catholic Bible, and he is
|
||||||
|
not considered a canonical figure within Christianity. There is,
|
||||||
|
however, a story in 2 Esdras (disallowed by the Catholic and
|
||||||
|
Protestant Churches, but considered canonical in Eastern Orthodox
|
||||||
|
teachings) which is part of the Apocrypha. 2 Esdras has the story
|
||||||
|
of a scribe and judge named Ezra, also sometimes written "Azra" in
|
||||||
|
different languages. Azra was visited by the Archangel Uriel and
|
||||||
|
given a list of laws and punishments he was to adhere to and
|
||||||
|
enforce as judge over his people. Azra was later recorded in the
|
||||||
|
Apocrypha as having entered Heaven "without tasting death's
|
||||||
|
taint". Depending on various religious views, it could be taken as
|
||||||
|
Ezra ascending to angelic status. This would add the suffix "el"
|
||||||
|
to his name, which denotes a heavenly being (e.g. Michael,
|
||||||
|
Raphael, Uriel).
|
||||||
|
#+end_quote
|
||||||
|
That part about entering heaven without experiences death sounds a lot
|
||||||
|
like the departure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Episode seven
|
||||||
|
Laurie's in town now, population is increased. The old man shot and killed himself to equalize, so Kevin's not dead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Big thing for me is we see Virgil making them BOTH lemonade to drink
|
||||||
|
in the scene where Kevin goes to talk the first time they discuss
|
||||||
|
while Kevin is awake. I don't believe that imagery was by chance as I
|
||||||
|
don't believe anything in this show is by chance. I believe he made
|
||||||
|
Kevin the poison, (there was still plenty of poison left for Virgil to
|
||||||
|
drink had he wanted to follow suit) but shot himself because one has
|
||||||
|
the potential to be reborn (poison) and the other is the final
|
||||||
|
(gunshot) because as so many have pointed out, he is to be Kevin's
|
||||||
|
guide through hell/battle. Virgil's death is a sacrifice, and must be
|
||||||
|
final while Kevin's death is based in the ideology of the grandmothers
|
||||||
|
bird practice. When Erica buried her bird she did ask for Evie to be
|
||||||
|
ok without her so she could leave her husband, something did happen to
|
||||||
|
Evie so her wish was granted, it simply wasn't in the way she intended
|
||||||
|
it to be. She clearly had that bag packed in the closet with money and
|
||||||
|
hearing aid batteries ready to leave.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And yeah I think Virgil molested Michael and John as his father wanted
|
||||||
|
revenge on that hurt. He probably became even further angry when his
|
||||||
|
father in law didn't die. Because of the magic component it's probably
|
||||||
|
why he holds the "there are no miracles in miracle" anger and
|
||||||
|
debunking so close to heart. It would not be a miracle to him that a
|
||||||
|
man that molested his son didn't die.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I think y'all are taking some self-made rules for granted. In this
|
||||||
|
episode, Kevin was given two solutions for his problem: one from
|
||||||
|
science, one from superstition. He made his choice, look what happened
|
||||||
|
to him. The show's not gonna give us the answers so this discussion
|
||||||
|
would probably go for years and no one would win but I think one thing
|
||||||
|
is sure: we're not gonna see "magic" happening any moment soon. If
|
||||||
|
Kevin survives I suppose is gonna be something as ambiguous as what
|
||||||
|
we've seen, maybe what Virgil gave him wasn't really that letal, don't
|
||||||
|
know. And if Patti's gone, then you can argue that Kevin is telling
|
||||||
|
himself to have figured the problem out, even though I think some
|
||||||
|
pills would have helped more (also in a way less dramatic fashion).
|
||||||
|
Anyway, grreeeeat episode. Love Ann Dowd.
|
||||||
|
** Episode eight
|
||||||
|
I don't know if this has been discussed yet or not, but there was an
|
||||||
|
interesting tie-in to Greek mythology in this episode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Virgil warns Kevin not to drink the water at the hotel. After a while
|
||||||
|
we realize that the people who have drunk the water don't seem to be
|
||||||
|
the same people that Kevin knew in the real world, or who they were
|
||||||
|
before they died, if you will.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here's why I find that interesting: In Hades, there are five rivers
|
||||||
|
(Styx, Acheron, Lethe, Phlegethon, and Cocytus). The important one
|
||||||
|
here is Lethe, which is known as the river of forgetfulness. In Hades,
|
||||||
|
the spirits of the dead were meant to drink the waters of Lethe. In
|
||||||
|
doing so, they would completely forget their previous life and would
|
||||||
|
be able to move on and (according to Virgil, the ancient Roman poet)
|
||||||
|
be reincarnated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's awesome that the people in the hotel forgot their earthly
|
||||||
|
memories upon drinking the water, just like drinking the water of
|
||||||
|
Lethe in the afterlife. And Neil is such a drunk he remembers who he
|
||||||
|
is.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Transcript from the radio broadcast about the resurrection in
|
||||||
|
Australia (Perth): For those who didn't catch it, I just replayed it
|
||||||
|
on HBO go. The audio clip on the news specifically mentioned the guy
|
||||||
|
who came out of the cave was David Burton. Broadcaster: "Resurrection,
|
||||||
|
that's the claim in Australia, as witnesses described a man previously
|
||||||
|
believed dead, emerging from a cave in Wanneroo, outside the city of
|
||||||
|
Perth." Australian dude (witness) :" walked out covered in mozzie
|
||||||
|
bites, saying he'd just been in a hotel! " Reporter:" The man,
|
||||||
|
identified as David Burton" TV turns off I bet this was the guy from
|
||||||
|
the bridge.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I do like what they did with Patti. The point of this episode for me
|
||||||
|
was that at the end of the day, Patti spent her whole life never in
|
||||||
|
control and always terrified about what some terrible god-like figure
|
||||||
|
would inflict on her. First it was Neil. Then, after the 14th, it was
|
||||||
|
whatever made all those people disappear. Spiritually she was still a
|
||||||
|
child - she never learned to cope with those feelings and move on with
|
||||||
|
her life. She looked at everything through the lens of terror and lack
|
||||||
|
of control. In a sense, nothing really changed for her on October 14 -
|
||||||
|
it changed for everyone else. In a sense, Guilty Remnant is many
|
||||||
|
people becoming what Pattie was before - silent, out of fear of some
|
||||||
|
terrible god, just as she obeyed Neil's commands to be silent. (Note
|
||||||
|
also that Neil is the only one who seems to know what's going on in
|
||||||
|
that place - so the writers are assigning him some superior status to
|
||||||
|
the other spirits there).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And so I feel like this episode is really a statement about Guilty
|
||||||
|
Remnant, and generally how to cope with that feeling of everything you
|
||||||
|
love suddenly being taken away, as with the collapse of the cave. You
|
||||||
|
can do what the cave woman did at the beginning of the season, which
|
||||||
|
is soldier on as best you can; or you can do what Patti did and remain
|
||||||
|
a spiritual child who refuses to take control because she is too
|
||||||
|
afraid.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That's also what's interesting about the scene where Pattie (or her
|
||||||
|
double) is a senator. She seems very confident about her ideology and
|
||||||
|
being a champion of the Guilty Remnant, but in fact it is a huge lie -
|
||||||
|
she is still just a child who believes she should keep her mouth shut.
|
||||||
|
The Guilty Remnant really wants people to stop trying to feel like
|
||||||
|
they have any control or connection - stop feeling anything so they
|
||||||
|
can't get hurt when they lose it. It's an ideology based in the same
|
||||||
|
kind of terror that Pattie felt before the 14th. I mean really, what
|
||||||
|
is she saying in that speech? Everyone already knows you could lose
|
||||||
|
anyone you love at any time - that didn't change on the 14th! So why
|
||||||
|
surrender to that fear? But that's what she wants everyone to do
|
||||||
|
because that's how she lived her life.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Interesting also that Wayne is her bodyguard: subservient to her,
|
||||||
|
Wayne another person who gave comfort to people feeling lost, Wayne
|
||||||
|
who was so keen to kill Kevin when he mentioned Neil - Kevin was
|
||||||
|
coming close to exposing Pattie's big lie that the Guilty Remnant is
|
||||||
|
about moving forward. It's really about cowering in fear all the time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The other interesting thing is that Kevin had three outfits, IIRC, the
|
||||||
|
pastor's robes, the international assassin, and the cop. The fact that
|
||||||
|
two other people showed up in similar costumes is telling - I think
|
||||||
|
they are not three aspects of Kevin but rather three aspects of all
|
||||||
|
people. Everybody needs to believe in something larger than themselves
|
||||||
|
(pastor), everybody or most everybody believes in playing by the rules
|
||||||
|
in society (cop), and there is a part of everyone that subverts both
|
||||||
|
of those things (assassin). When he sees those three outfits, Kevin is
|
||||||
|
being asked, how you are going to handle your inner Pattie, ie, your
|
||||||
|
existential fear? Are you going to turn to religion (pastor's outfit -
|
||||||
|
religion, cults)? Are you going to just going doing what you normally
|
||||||
|
do, observe conventions, and try not to think about it (cop)? Or are
|
||||||
|
you going to get rid of it and attack it and take control?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is maybe why we see the cop with the black bag over his head, the
|
||||||
|
priest trembling in fear for some unknown reason. The message of the
|
||||||
|
show thus far has been about the inadequacy of both their methods.
|
||||||
|
Going on about your business doesn't really work, and all religions
|
||||||
|
were at once shown to be a sham. In the face of what happened on
|
||||||
|
October 14, the cop has a bag over his head and is about to be
|
||||||
|
executed, the priest is lost and terrified. Both of their ways are for
|
||||||
|
children who are too scared to find their own way, like Patti. So, you
|
||||||
|
have to soldier on the best way you can. Put on that assassin's outfit
|
||||||
|
and just figure it out from there.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now was this all a dream or a drug trip? That's possible. Virgil could
|
||||||
|
have committed suicide out of guilt and given Kevin a drug that made
|
||||||
|
him appear to be dead but not really. I'm not sure why Virgil would do
|
||||||
|
that second part. And then, what about the bird? Kevin didn't know
|
||||||
|
about that legend as far as I know.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All I know is, that episode creeped me the fuck out and now I have to
|
||||||
|
watch something else so I can sleep. There were four outfits in the
|
||||||
|
closet that Kevin could have chosen. Other than the international
|
||||||
|
assassin, we saw the cop walking down the hallway with the bag over
|
||||||
|
his head and the priest crying in the elevator. The fourth was the GR
|
||||||
|
white clothes. Maybe these are sides to his personality - a man who
|
||||||
|
certainly has some kind of faith, who once respected the law (maybe he
|
||||||
|
still does) but takes it into his own hands when he needs to. That
|
||||||
|
episode was ah-fucking-mazing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mary receives balloons: I know one balloon said "Congrats!", and there were some blue-colored balloons. Looks like she has a boy!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Kevin's exit from the bathtub is a birth.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My apologies if this was already mentioned. When senator Patti says
|
||||||
|
"Our cave's collapsed", it is an obvious reference to the first scene
|
||||||
|
of this season, but I mostly understand it as a reference to Plato's
|
||||||
|
allegory of the cave (*): the sudden departure forces leftovers to
|
||||||
|
face the truth, and the truth according to Patty is that "on October
|
||||||
|
14 attachment and love became extinct".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I see some kind of connection with the 1st Epistle to the Corinthians
|
||||||
|
(13:11–13): "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a
|
||||||
|
child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away
|
||||||
|
childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to
|
||||||
|
face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am
|
||||||
|
known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest
|
||||||
|
of these is love."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And, incidentally, 1 Corinthians also contains the verse about the
|
||||||
|
tongues of men and of angels (but not the God's Tongue ;) )
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Episode nine
|
||||||
|
I guess this explains why the girls sat in complete silence during the
|
||||||
|
car ride back from the camping trip in the first episode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I think they were practicing how the route and how fast they could
|
||||||
|
escape without clothes to ditch any evidence. and spreading scents
|
||||||
|
through the woods.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The three girls are going to hang themselves off the bridge, per Meg's
|
||||||
|
plan. Guy in other world that Kevin saw on bridge was getting the
|
||||||
|
ropes ready.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Well, pretty much nobody saw that coming eh? Whoa.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So I have really come to hate the Guilty Remnant, not just because of
|
||||||
|
what Meg is doing but what it represents generally. I posted last week
|
||||||
|
about how being in the GR really is about believing that you are
|
||||||
|
powerless and that your actions in trying to live an enjoyable life in
|
||||||
|
the face of a cruel or indifferent world are all pointless. You try to
|
||||||
|
sheer away all attachments and feelings because you are afraid of
|
||||||
|
having it taken away from you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This episode really drove that home for me. Based on the way this
|
||||||
|
episode proceeeded, it appears to me that Meg's joining the GR was not
|
||||||
|
directly due to the departure. She has an open wound of a different
|
||||||
|
kind - the departure made her mother's death seem insignificant and
|
||||||
|
she was never really able to mourn. So she has felt this constant pain
|
||||||
|
of loss and fear of the random unknown striking her life in this way,
|
||||||
|
since her mother's death was very similar to a departure in the way it
|
||||||
|
felt. One moment she was there, another moment she was not.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But what is awful is that this episode really shows how the Guilty
|
||||||
|
Remnant is actually about taking that feeling of pain and
|
||||||
|
powerlessness and really letting it define who you are and your entire
|
||||||
|
life. Not only are you wallowing in your misery, you are spreading it
|
||||||
|
around. Meg seems to have taken the lead of the extremist and
|
||||||
|
terrorist faction, but she has a good point that she makes to the
|
||||||
|
leaders of the GR that what she is doing is not so different from what
|
||||||
|
any other GR group does.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There was someone who described the GR as essentially a cult of
|
||||||
|
depression. People who are severely depressed they tend to disconnect
|
||||||
|
socially (leave your family, no talking); they engage in
|
||||||
|
self-destructive behaviors (smoking constantly); they have a flat
|
||||||
|
affect (no talking, blunted emotions); their sensory experiences are
|
||||||
|
dulled and they take no pleasure in things that they should enjoy
|
||||||
|
(plain white clothing, empty buildings, ascetic lifestyle). But worst
|
||||||
|
of all, severely depressed people engage in constant rumination, which
|
||||||
|
is the rehashing and repeating of pessimistic and negative thought
|
||||||
|
processes. So not only do they feel bad, but they keep thinking over
|
||||||
|
and over about how bad they feel and how permanent that state is, and
|
||||||
|
how pointless it is to try to get out of it, they are constantly
|
||||||
|
reliving the experiences that cause them to have this awful mood. And
|
||||||
|
this is what all the GR's "actions" are about, trying to become
|
||||||
|
"living reminders" - stalking people, stealing their pictures, putting
|
||||||
|
the fake bodies in their houses, faking a departure - they are trying
|
||||||
|
to force people be constantly rehashing and reliving the experience of
|
||||||
|
the departure because they have succumbed to this way of thinking, and
|
||||||
|
they want it to define other people's lives too.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
People said this episode was setup, but I think it makes some good
|
||||||
|
observations about human nature. Mainly that people can take any
|
||||||
|
ideology to an extreme point. And, as a cult of depression, there are
|
||||||
|
some people who because they are so unhappy they lash out at other
|
||||||
|
people, sometimes in violence. I suspect Meg was this type of person
|
||||||
|
before, because we see she was bit of a spoiled rich girl who needed
|
||||||
|
cocaine to get through basic daily functions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Cocaine is a very interesting choice. Clearly she was addicted, I mean
|
||||||
|
who does coke in the middle of the day in the bathroom when you're out
|
||||||
|
to lunch with your mom? That suggests she had some severe
|
||||||
|
psychological issues prior to the departure in the first place. It
|
||||||
|
probably suggests a lack of coping skills (severe drug dependence
|
||||||
|
generally). This would be despite that she is high-functioning, ie,
|
||||||
|
she is good at masking her psychological and drug issues. She also
|
||||||
|
likes uppers, might suggest she deals with her problems by engaging in
|
||||||
|
goal-oriented behaviors that make her feel like she has power and
|
||||||
|
control, and erase her bad feelings about herself, but these behaviors
|
||||||
|
are actually destructive. Her mom also said this about her, that once
|
||||||
|
she has a goal she will not let up on it. And also, cocaine is
|
||||||
|
expensive, especially if you're doing it all the time as she evidently
|
||||||
|
is. I would suggest that as a spoiled rich girl she has always had
|
||||||
|
access to resources but has never felt like she deserved it and
|
||||||
|
consequently has low feelings of self worth. Add to this she was
|
||||||
|
abandoned by a father figure, which can also contribute to low
|
||||||
|
self-worth feelings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Taking all this together, we see that Meg is exactly the type of
|
||||||
|
person to lead the extremist faction of the GR. She is a spoiled rich
|
||||||
|
girl who does not know how to cope with things not going her way. And
|
||||||
|
even though she's good at pretending she can cope and handle life
|
||||||
|
(pretending to want to pay for something her mother bought for her,
|
||||||
|
even though it is obvious she had no real intention) she is spiteful
|
||||||
|
and vindictive when she does not get her way- she spits on the ground
|
||||||
|
of Jarden after she doesn't hear what she wants to hear from the
|
||||||
|
psychic, even after he warned her that she would not be satisfied no
|
||||||
|
matter what he said. She hates that the people of Jarden seemed to
|
||||||
|
have been protected from the pain of loss she and everyone else felt
|
||||||
|
(even though for her it was not caused by the departure). And so,
|
||||||
|
vindictive, spiteful and goal oriented, and lacking proper coping
|
||||||
|
skills, she lashes out at them and tries to take away their happiness
|
||||||
|
by taking the ideology of the GR's constant reliving of painful
|
||||||
|
experience to reinforce their sense of powerlessness to violent
|
||||||
|
extremes. It makes her feel powerful, and coming from where she came
|
||||||
|
from psychologically prior to the departure, that is her substitute
|
||||||
|
for real coping skills.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Meg is an asshole. I hope she dies in a fire.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I really like that there were a few callbacks to earlier in the
|
||||||
|
season, like when Meg says something about putting out a cigarette in
|
||||||
|
someone's eye. Made me think immediately of episode 2 when Kevin was
|
||||||
|
questioned by the anti-GR officer wearing an eye patch.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I also doubt it's going to be answered, but I thought the bit about
|
||||||
|
the gas lines and manhole covers exploding was interesting. We saw it
|
||||||
|
happen in season 1 in Mapleton and it seems weird that it would also
|
||||||
|
happen some 1400 miles away in Texas.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Season two finale
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Definitely. There were quite a few Genesis allusions this season.
|
||||||
|
There was Cain and Able theme, with the older brother attacking the
|
||||||
|
younger brother (angry over the younger one's close relationship with
|
||||||
|
God.) We also had the Sodom and Gomorrah vibes in the finale, and, of
|
||||||
|
course, the snake from the prologue.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
edit: Calling back to the baby-threatening snake, the woman who stole
|
||||||
|
Nora's baby had a snake tattoo.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Jarden wasn't spared. There's pain everywhere, not having any
|
||||||
|
departures doesn't change that. Evie and Erika understood that, and
|
||||||
|
Evie's conclusion was that the town couldn't be protected from pain,
|
||||||
|
so that's why she did what she did. Least that's what my first
|
||||||
|
thoughts were.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Do you guys even realize that the dramatic climax to this episode was
|
||||||
|
the main character singing karaoke poorly? And it was excellent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I just...you can't get this in other shows. A lesser show would have
|
||||||
|
made International Assassin the season finale. A lesser show would
|
||||||
|
have had Kevin leading his family to safety during the GR stampede.
|
||||||
|
This show shoots the main character in the chest, keeps him off screen
|
||||||
|
for 30-40 minutes, then has him sing karaoke poorly, and it was
|
||||||
|
excellent. HOW? What kind of fucking witchcraft is this?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, how stinkin' perfect is the poetry of Kevin's death? The first
|
||||||
|
episode of the series ends with Kevin shooting dogs. The last episode
|
||||||
|
of S2 has Kevin getting shot in a room full of dogs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So many people are looking for the answers to questions that literally
|
||||||
|
DON'T MATTER. The entire point of the show, which is clear to me now,
|
||||||
|
is that we as humans are constantly seeking answers that we will never
|
||||||
|
find, when the real answer is literally right in front of us.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I see some people think Kevin is dead and went to Heaven, but doesn't
|
||||||
|
Jarden look more like Hell right now? And he did push a little girl
|
||||||
|
into a well....I mean.... This could mean the whole time after the
|
||||||
|
Departure was a Purgatory for the Leftovers to get their stuff
|
||||||
|
together. The earthquakes are the warnings that time is running out
|
||||||
|
and something is changing and the GR are ushering in the transition.
|
||||||
|
Jarden was the Axis Mundi and when stuff got real you could go Up or
|
||||||
|
Down. His vision of his happy family is at the end is the illusion and
|
||||||
|
the torment because he will just keep losing them in a myriad of ways
|
||||||
|
for eternity. Sad Ending.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I think sometimes (and not fully believe but I like to just come up
|
||||||
|
with theories that may or may not be total bullshit), that if Jarden
|
||||||
|
is an axis mundi or a place where our world and the afterlife
|
||||||
|
intersect or have their closest doorway, that it maybe erroneous to
|
||||||
|
assume it's a doorway or portal to the positive afterlife or heaven.
|
||||||
|
The garden of Eden was gods place set aside for man, until Satan
|
||||||
|
slithered in (girl who took Nora's baby and entered the city had snake
|
||||||
|
tattoo) and took over the garden of Eden and helped man fall with the
|
||||||
|
help of eve (evie). So while we have always assumed Jarden was a place
|
||||||
|
of amazing power and good, it may be the opposite. Remember Satan was
|
||||||
|
an angel until he fell. The bible also mentions if and when you see
|
||||||
|
Satan he will appear as the most beautiful thing in the world to you.
|
||||||
|
To Nora, the most beautiful thing in the world is a place safe from
|
||||||
|
the departure. So I could see Jarden as an axis mundi, a place where
|
||||||
|
the other side has a little control over our side. But only in that
|
||||||
|
space. There may be other axis mundii that God controls more than
|
||||||
|
Satan. Mapleton possibly. Who knows. But that if Satan has control
|
||||||
|
over Jarden, to some degree, that he protected the town during the
|
||||||
|
departure (implying the departure was Gods doing in some way for some
|
||||||
|
reason). But Satan is the great deceiver. The great trickster. So he
|
||||||
|
would protect a place because he knows that would make people think
|
||||||
|
it's safe and special and holy and good. So people would flock there.
|
||||||
|
And eventually, with enough fervor, demand to be encircled by its
|
||||||
|
protection. That's what we saw tonight. Not really demand to be apart
|
||||||
|
of the protection, but demand to be inside. While the GR went in to
|
||||||
|
establish that it wasn't any different than anywhere else, many of the
|
||||||
|
followers went in believing it was special and holy and protective.
|
||||||
|
And now, with even more people inside Satans little sandbox on earth,
|
||||||
|
he can wreak even more destruction. He has them there. He had them
|
||||||
|
bought in. He had them fully believing the things that happen there
|
||||||
|
are a result of gods procreation and love. So, he can do as he pleases
|
||||||
|
and even if people question it being good or bad, they will assume
|
||||||
|
it's good cause it's Jarden. It's miracle. But with the imagery of the
|
||||||
|
fire. And the burning. That's hell imagery. And with the earthquakes,
|
||||||
|
every time we see an earthquake we see (except for the last) someone
|
||||||
|
come back from the otherside. Kevin twice and Mary once. And they seem
|
||||||
|
to happen more regularly. Maybe the earthquakes are Satans powers
|
||||||
|
escaping more concretely into earth. Evil ascending if you will. And
|
||||||
|
with every win he has, he gets stronger. And if he's stronger, he can
|
||||||
|
make more earthquakes to get stronger. Maybe the last earthquake was
|
||||||
|
him getting even more power or entering into Jarden in a corporeal
|
||||||
|
form. The Sodom and Gomorrah vibe at the end strengthens that view for
|
||||||
|
me. The greatest trick Satan ever pulled wasn't convincing the world
|
||||||
|
he didn't exist, but convincing the world his only area of power on
|
||||||
|
earth was the safest and most protected by God place on earth. So
|
||||||
|
people flock there. They literally take water away with them. To wear
|
||||||
|
or hold near them or drink. We see the dangers of drinking the water
|
||||||
|
as it relates to the otherside. So if Jarden is as close to hell as
|
||||||
|
you get on earth and always has been, him convincing the entire world
|
||||||
|
it's the safest place be and to come drink the water or hold the water
|
||||||
|
near your heart or in your hands as your pray is the most genius evil
|
||||||
|
of all time. Now people literally hold what is a metaphor for the
|
||||||
|
blood of Satan in their hands as they pray to God: sacrilege. They
|
||||||
|
wear it and drink it and take it back to their homes and countries.
|
||||||
|
Spreading the evil grasp of Satan far and wide, from the meager
|
||||||
|
beginnings in the Jarden of Eden that he had ruled since the birth of
|
||||||
|
mankind when he stole it from God and humans through a trick of
|
||||||
|
knowledge. I know for many this will be a what the fuck did I just
|
||||||
|
read but I'm not saying it's fact. Just something fun to think about.
|
||||||
|
There's a lot that fits with it. Maybe Kevin's protector and angels or
|
||||||
|
prophets aren't god, but Satan all along.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I think based on Michael's story about him and Evie in the tub and her
|
||||||
|
crying hysterically...that Evie had pretty much grown up with the
|
||||||
|
understanding that people always pretend everything is ok, but nothing
|
||||||
|
ever is. And that she knew her mom knew it, too.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In 208, Patti says to Kevin (may not be verbatim) "our cave collapsed,
|
||||||
|
Kevin. We can either go digging through the rubble, or we can evolve."
|
||||||
|
She was telling the story of the orphan who would have attachment
|
||||||
|
issues later in life and how everyone is an orphan after Oct 14 with
|
||||||
|
attachment issues because anyone can disappear at any moment. It's a
|
||||||
|
new world and the whole foundation of a former society man had built,
|
||||||
|
came crumbling down. Like the cave. And the cavewoman's baby was an
|
||||||
|
orphan after she was bit by a snake and another woman took it. Just
|
||||||
|
some good ol' metaphor :)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It seems like an earthquake is a harbinger for a miracle. First
|
||||||
|
episode, the lake drains to save Kevin from suicidal drowning. Then in
|
||||||
|
the finale, the earthquake has Mary snap out of her coma. So I think
|
||||||
|
the final earthquake's miracle was just Kevin coming home to his
|
||||||
|
complete and back intact family.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Anyone see a strong parallel between Kevin and a flawed Christ figure?
|
||||||
|
He spent three separate days/instances dead (cinder block, poison,
|
||||||
|
gun). His time spent dead was used to wash away his sin. He
|
||||||
|
immediately forgave John after shooting him. The song he sings shows
|
||||||
|
that he is truly choosing suffering rather than whatever waits him
|
||||||
|
next. His return to life the final time is him raising from the dead
|
||||||
|
and hopefully leading the people around him to a better place even if
|
||||||
|
that means dealing with what has been portrayed as unbearable pain. I
|
||||||
|
absolutely love the religious symbolism in the show. I do not think
|
||||||
|
there is a right interpretation but rather a large number of vague
|
||||||
|
similarities that force the viewer to draw their own conclusions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I rather liked how easy it was for him to get back when dressed as the
|
||||||
|
police officer. This was likely his 4th attempt at coming back. It
|
||||||
|
seems like all he had to do was embrace himself, his life, his family,
|
||||||
|
his role as protector (all the things he has been questioning for two
|
||||||
|
seasons) to be fully healed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The bridge / karaoke guy is most probably the australian guy (from
|
||||||
|
Perth?) who were found alive after being dead and
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most probably Virgil raped John (pointing having sinned because of the
|
||||||
|
junk). John gets molested by Erika's Dad as a youth and then ends up
|
||||||
|
marrying her? I think it was one of their kids that got molested
|
||||||
|
(Michael/Evie)
|

** More Episode 08
|
||||||
|
I thought the “wardrobe” choices available to Kevin in “International
|
||||||
|
Assassin” were fascinating. Can you tell us more about the meaning of
|
||||||
|
the characters he passes in the episode who were dressed as the priest
|
||||||
|
and the police officer? Do they represent others in this purgatory who
|
||||||
|
“adorned” themselves differently and then failed in their individual
|
||||||
|
missions? — Steve, Texas
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That's definitely it. Fit's perfectly with Damon Lindelof's answer regarding the who and where of the hotel world. Nice job.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Certainly one interpretation is that they're alternate versions of
|
||||||
|
Kevin. Another is that this space is not only accessible to Kevin. If
|
||||||
|
you're looking at this through the magical prism as opposed to the
|
||||||
|
psychological prism, we see a few times this Latina woman who appears
|
||||||
|
to be dressed in scrubs, and if you listen carefully to what she's
|
||||||
|
saying, that may give an indication of an alternate theory. Not to
|
||||||
|
mention, to my knowledge as a writer of the show, Kevin doesn't speak
|
||||||
|
Spanish, and so how would he be having a head trip where somebody was
|
||||||
|
speaking it fluently?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_quote
|
||||||
|
Guys,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm fluent in spanish. I made it my mission to figure out exactly what's going on with the woman that's speaking spanish in the garage and later trying to get a human heart into the hotel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I have deciphered what's going on. I'll get to it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
SCENE 1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A woman who appears to be a CONCIERGE! speaks "...don't tell me you've [done]..." "No me digas que has he-[cho]..."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Woman in rags responds incredulously " ...But I'm not a Doctor!! " "...pero yo no soy doctora!" Kevin enters, they fall silent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Scene 2 has already been translated by others. In short, she's trying to get into the hotel to (presumably) perform a heart transplant on someone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first scene is the REAL clue. The woman dressed as hotel staff is her Virgil, her guide. She's most likely asking whether she drank any of the water.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The woman on rags picked the outfit of a doctor, so she was given a doctor's mission. Perform an organ transplant to get out of the hotel. That explains why she denies being a doctor, and why she seems so desperate to complete her mission.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you watch the scenes thinking of this woman as someone with the same "quest" as kevin, it makes sense. That would also explain the priest in the elevator and the cop with the bag over his head. These aren't different versions of kevin, they're actual people trying to get back to the real world, much like kevin.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit 1: To clarify: What the woman in rags says is not as important as the intonation. In spanish the tone of voice can make a sentence mean something different. The way she says it, instead of sounding like "I'm not a doctor, just a nurse!" it's said and acted in such a way that it comes off as " What the hell are you talking about, I don't know anything about medical care!". That's what sealed the deal for me.

** Theory shaman finale S2
|
||||||
|
This is a little long but you will like it. It explains the connection between the snake and The Australian, the reason why the baby was left on the bridge, Evie and the Garden of Eden, and some other stuff. You will hear my argument for why if the Snake Woman is the snake then Tom Garvey is The Bird. And a universal link between all of these things is discussed, based on what we know the writers know and some shamanist mythology.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From the Reza Aslan interview we know:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Virgil admits that he himself has had a similar journey [to Kevin]. So whatever path Kevin is on is one that many other people in that post-Departure world are also on and have experienced. Joseph Campbell, in his writings about shamans, talks about this character that pops up in a lot of traditions called the dark guardian, and the dark guardian is someone who often accompanies the shaman in these death experiences. But he himself is kind of a trickster character who can't be trusted, may or may not be giving the right advice, and becomes in a sense someone who also has to be overcome for the shaman to finally be reborn and remade. That's all I'll say about that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Therefore:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Virgil became shaman, he learnt it from a similar experience to Kevin. Shamanism is learnt (Campbell agrees) and Kevin is on shaman path.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The heavy religious and shamanistic themes are based heavily on Campbell's work (and this work is based on universal traditions within shamanism across cultures, the shamanism base to all religion, and also their connection to the Hero's Tale, in a way).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Australian is the Dark Guardian (read into Campbell's work, some of the notes are below).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now also note this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In S02E01 the tribeswoman, bitten by a snake, dies holding the baby, lieing down on a rock. The camera pans to the lake, where the 3 girls (from GR) are playing in the modern day. This shows its the same lake. Also the same lake when Kevin attempted to kill himself before the earthquake saved him.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Jarden is a fictional town. The writers could have chosen any name but they chose Jarden. I believe it is a concatenation of two things:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Jordan. As in the river Jordan from the Bible (The Christian cannot enter the kingdom of the heavens without crossing the “Jordan” in its true, correct typical meaning.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Garden. As in Garden of Eden. If the tribeswoman was located in Jarden, where she died, then she might be Eve. She was after all, bitten by the snake. And the snake only bit her after she climbed up the tree and ate an egg. It rattled immediately after she ate that egg and not a split second before. It could have bitten her after any time while walking kilometres but the writers decided on that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Evie" might be connected to "Eve"; she has some connection to the tribeswoman (other than name) as they were in the same camera shot despite being millennia apart. Evie goes missing on almost the same exact location that Eve died.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now, read this: http://saleonard.people.ysu.edu/campbell-shaman.html
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note these bits:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Campbell continues: “With the personifications of his destiny to guide and aid him, the hero goes forward in his adventure until he comes to the ‘threshold guardian’ at the entrance to the zone of magnified power”. (Threshold guardian also means dark guardian if you keep reading). The Australian plays this role literally on the bridge, the threshold.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Thus, encounters with snakes and other frightening animals are similar to Campbell’s notion of the Threshold Guardian, a being that tests the hero’s worthiness to continue the Adventure. "
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Notice the parallels here. I'm going to list them:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The S02E10 "snake woman" (her name in the credits) who steals Nora's baby, and the snake that bit the tribeswoman, killing her after nearly taking her baby. This already has been talked about by others.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Kevin, in the afterlife, goes to Jarden and crosses the Jarden bridge. His Threshold Guardian (The Australian) is on the bridge.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Treat the snake as a threshold Guardian as Campbell suggests. Treat the bridge as the Threshold.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As we know that Eve/tribeswoman was in Jarden, we know that the cavern where her tribesfolk died from the Earthquake cant be too far. In the afterlife Virgil asked Kevin if by Well he meant "The Caverns". Others have suggested they were the same place before, but we didn't know if the tribe was even on the same continent as Jarden.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Evie's (Eve?) trailer (where the bomb was supposed to be) offers Nora shelter after the snakewoman nearly took the baby, then left the baby on the bridge/threshold. Evie/Eve has protected the baby, from the snake/threhold-guardian, at the location of the bridge/threshold.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With the strong shaminism theme, we can weakly suggest that Evie might be some reincarnation of Eve. She shelters the baby, and witnesses the suicide of Kevin, before a miracle saves him, near where she once died. She also goes missing from the car at a location close to where Eve died, on the water's edge. We know this because the scene with the girls jumping into the lake (next to where Eve dies) has the "do not take the water sign". I just checked and Evie goes missing (the car) about 6 metres away from where Eve died on the rocks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That bird of prey (tribeswoman sees/hears it after cavern collapse, kevin hears it at the well) can be treated as a shamanistic spirit guide. "With the personifications of his destiny to guide and aid him". The bird guides the woman to Jarden/the smoke. And it is with Kevin at the well. Both these locations are nearby though, so it might just be a reference to the fact that this is the same geography. However the bird ONLY appears in a dark guardian / threshold situation, assuming the snake is dark guardian. Never at any other times. So if that is true then what about the third dark-guardian threshold situation? Where Nora has the baby stolen by the snake(woman) at the bridge (threshold)? There was no bird in the sky there. However, the guiding spirit (bird) did appear. The snake woman is called the snake woman because of her snake scales tattoo (and her role as the snake). When Nora was lieing down on the bridge with the baby Tom Garvey arrives, and extends his arm, picks her up, and guides her and the baby to shelter. Guess what is on the arm he reaches out with!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Why would snake woman leave the baby on the middle of the bridge? Babys not heavy, and she ran with it anyway, and she was supposedly "protecting it", so what incentive would she have to leave it there. This doesnt say anything concrete about her, other than she doesn't care about the baby, but rather cares about Nora not having the baby. It means something that the baby was left on the bridge: it could have been taken or left anywhere, and it was weird to even leave the baby. The threshold guardian never seems to actually cross the bridge itself, which might be why the baby was left halfway across (she might have vanished when she tried?).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The reason that the bird did not protect the tribeswoman from the snake might be that she ate the eggs from the tree. It was after all immediately after eating the eggs that the snake appeared on the baby and attacked the woman. The bird could have been offering spiritual protection up until the moment the tribeswoman gave in to 'temptation in the garden of eden' by eating forbidden fruit (egg of the spirit guide bird).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The fact that Snake Woman seemed to just vanish in thin air seems to parallel with the fact that the snake seemed to pop out of thin air. It seems that the snake cant appear when the bird is present/protecting. The moment an egg was eaten, a snake appeared. The moment Tom Garvey was nearby the Snake Woman seemed to oddly vanish without a trace or reason.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So while before we had some a few parallels between Nora/snakewoman and tribeswoman/snake, we now also have a connection to Kevin's story. The bridge/threshold in the afterlife and the real world both had the snake/dark guardian. All dark guardian (snake) & threshold situations also have a 'bird' present (Tom Garvey is The Bird).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Following John Campbells work which the shamanism plot line is based upon, we can also predict the major themes for next season.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Kevin has been to afterlife twice. Dark Guardian challenges him each time. He says he wont come back the same. This fits in with shamanism. You have to let go of lots of different things, including family.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Campbell understood this common theme in myth as expressing certain psychological truths, a literary dramatization of the universal human need to transcend the individual’s tendency toward ego-centrism. Our repressed desires and inner conflicts present us with a “Call to Adventure” and, if we follow this call, we experience the exaltation and terror of the spiritual journey. If we face bravely all obstacles and avoid all distractions, we eventually achieve a state beyond selfishness, family, creed, and country. We become one with the universe.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Kevin just spent 2 seasons wondering if he loves his family, then
|
||||||
|
fighting to keep them until the end when they are reunited. Shamanism
|
||||||
|
requires him to reach a state beyond family (Virgil lost/gave up his).
|
||||||
|
Kevin may reach a point where he must give up his family for spiritual
|
||||||
|
truth. This may be the purpose of the priest outfit in the hotel
|
||||||
|
closet.

||||||

** Australia - Perth
|
||||||
|
For those who didn't catch it, I just replayed it on HBO go.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The audio clip on the news specifically mentioned the guy who came out of the cave was David Burton.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Broadcaster: "Resurrection, that's the claim in Australia, as witnesses described a man previously believed dead, emerging from a cave in Wanneroo, outside the city of Perth."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Australian dude (witness) :" walked out covered in mozzie bites, saying he'd just been in a hotel! "
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Reporter:" The man, identified as David Burton" TV turns off
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, I believe the tower Guy's letter was addressed to David Burton. Looking for a screenshot....
