The Leftovers 9/7/2014 "The Prodigal Son Returns"

I may rewatch this episode.. Good season finale. It did feel like they were covering their bases for if the show wasn't renewed, because it could have ended on this episode.



...but clearly that's not what they wanted. There were four things I wanted to remember to post (among others):



* Remember when Kevin was thrown in the insane asylum room? Remember later how he woke up so you thought it was "just a dream"? Well, someone slipped him a copy of that 1972 issue of National Geographic, and when he opened it up to the page with the note, it was on the article about Cairo.



That's actually what was in that issue. He tore up the first copy he ever received (or destroyed it someone - I don't totally remember), and the second one that his daughter bought wasn't met with much approval. It doesn't seem like he read the magazine. So how did he know that Cairo was one of the articles? And how did he know what that page looked like? He gained actual information during that asylum "dream". It was more than just a dream.



* Two more things that Kevin and Tom did in common this episode:



1) Both of them went into a bathroom and found someone sharing Wayne's DNA



2) Both of them had a black man ask them if he could help them.. (Kevin was granted a wish by Wayne, and Tom was offered help from the religious bus)



* If the GR really really really wanted to piss Nora off, they'd have had the girl not only sitting in the correct seat (they screwed up the boy and girl's seats - they must have just had some rough account she told in a public story), but they'd also have the girl spilling orange juice all over the table. HOW MANY TIMES DID SHE HAVE TO TELL THE KID!! TWO HANDS!!!



It looks like it can be interpreted that Wayne indeed did grant Kevin's wish, assuming that Kevin just wanted a family again and now he's got Nora, Jill, and as a reddit poster said, another son fathered by someone else. (he even got the dog that he bet could be rehabilitated)



Oh, and.. "JILL!!!!!!!!"
