Big thumbs up for the Metallica during the opening scene!
It's finally been worthy the time spent observing Laurie. She's been unlikable and irrelavant for me for the most part but at least by the end she got to be useful.
I think she's alive though.
Goodbye Nora? Goodbye Laurie? What the hell??!!?!! I wanna see what happens next to Nora, I guess at the end she would never get peace because she’ll always miss her kids, no matter what she couldn’t move on so I guess this is the right thing for her?
And oh Laurie, I’ve always been mad at Laurie for leaving her kids and even right now with that last scene I was like how can she do this to them, but I understand that above being a mother she’s a person, someone who’s been hurting and affected by that event and these are her choices and at least she got to say goodbye to everyone (except her actual current husband)
Yet another fantastic intro. Powerful episode
The Laurie episode. Where she seems to connect as some semblance of the supporting, re-affirming positive-enabler she once was to just about everyone around her. Watching her accept and leave Nora there was hard. Watching her the entire time she was on that boat (after Nora's "elegant" concept) was harder. She seemed so happy just then, almost peaceful. I really do hope that Jill and Tommy's utterly lovable phone shenanigans were lifeline enough, but... leaving it right then... sigh.
The depth of wow just continues to amass, toward what promises to be the oddest of storms...
Great ending, when what keeps her alive is the smallest "stupid" needs from her children
Even knowing the outcome of the final scene, knowing it was not intented to be a mystery, but still cannot help feel ambiguous. Just disbelief that you hope she didn't do it because the phone call was right on time - can you imagine how even more intense this would have been if we get the Jill/Tom episodes? Whatever Laurie went through the whole show, and how she was there for everyone but herself, how she even didn't find peace neither inside or outside the GR, she relentlessly tried to cope with the burden of other people's thoughts. Maybe she was Thomas, maybe she was Judas. Cannot help but hope she eventually found peace in the next life or this one.
"We're all gone." - Laurie
Some of this season has been great thus far, but overall I've felt that it has been quite underwhelming compared to the first two seasons. Hoping that the last two episodes blow me away.
Right up there with International Assassin in terms of just absolutely gut wrenching TV. Brilliant stuff. Just one teeny tiny nitpick; for a show that's so centered around faith, religion, and scripture — you'd think they'd realize that there's no S at the end of the Book of Revelation. Especially when Matt is the one who mentions it (after Nora of course).

There's a storm coming.
I really liked the flashback storytelling and the foreshadowing before she joined the guilty remnant. Laurie sent Nora off to try and find her kids with Matt. She is Nora's enabler and emotional support. Nobody wants to be that security guard but someone has to do it or else there will be fucking chaos. (Side note when she took the cigs from Nora and said you are now officially my patient I couldn't help but think of Saul Goodman.) Laurie got to her final goodbye to Kevin and when he asks about Nora all she says is, "We're all gone." Everyone is emotionally gone, that's what this world does. She takes her life after one last talk with her kids about Today's Special. Today is the seventh anniversary and it is special. Who else will go besides Kevin? Will he see her at the hotel? Will he be able to come back and save the world from the flood?
This is some of the best TV ever and I don't want it to end. 2 episodes left..
