A very satisfying conclusion to one of the best shows I've ever seen. Could not have asked for anything more than that out of this season. I'll miss it.

So, in the universe of the show, was Nora's story a truthful one or was it manufactured?
And however you interpret it, what if any difference does it make to your experience.

Don't buy it... Any Mother would choose to stay with her children...After what she went though to get there.. Kevin...immortal or not??? What was the nuclear holocaust shit all about?? Guess this style of writing a show isn't my cup of tea....

It may not have mattered to you, but I think it's a question the creators wanted to be raised.

The entire season was about the stories we tell ourselves to give meaning to our lives, so there's certainly an argument to be made that what she told Kevin wasn't "real." People can debate that all they want, but what really matters (at least to me) is that Kevin was there and "believed" her.

Great end and great show.
My first reaction was that Nora was being truthful but there is a small part that has really thrown me. When Nora goes to that barn and sees the nun with the man she was with leaving the area and she gets into it with her a little bit. Nora laments the idea of the doves spreading messages across the world is a lie and the woman responds that it is simple a better story. I wonder if Nora let that sink in when relaying her experience to Kevin. |

I get that with Lost...I think a lot of lessons were learned with Lost in preparing for this finale. I did not feel like I had more questions than answers with this one and just felt like this was one of the better damn shows I have ever seen start to end.

This is a really really deep dive on the finale and what all went into writing it and filming it. Worthy read for anyone who was super into the show enough the have a strong feeling good or bad on the on finale.

Except the point of the show was not the mysteries themselves (I could not have cared less where the 2% actually went, it did not matter at all to my experience or enjoyment of the Leftovers), but how the characters react to them.
