    I'm really glad I made this far

    When I have watched first four episodes I almost quit watching. Now I finally understand why people love this show. You must give it a chance.

    The episode that sealed the deal

    This is definitely the episode of the series that made me think this show is something more than just an average drama. So far all the complaints of "it's going to be like lost" and that there will be no answer to the mystery have been at the back of my mind. This episode shows me that those things do not matter, what does is the amazing character development and plot of this post rapture community. The show has so much potential and as each episode goes on(even the individually centred ones)it has shown layers of complexity in each character even minor guilty remnants. This episode offers a minor explanation for who the guilty remnant are but still leaves much of their background in question, leaving the viewer to question just what drives them to be so "evil". With two more episodes to go I can only hope the rating goes up for this unappreciated HBO masterpiece as the season hopefully comes to an climatic end.

    • Quotes

      Kevin Garvey: You want me to kill you.

      Patti Levin: Oh Kevin, you can't kill me, you don't have the fuckin' balls. I want you to commit. I want you to finish what you started. I want you to go all the way. I want you to say you understand.

      Kevin Garvey: Understand what?

      Patti Levin: What happened! What's happening. To me. To you. Oh vanity of Sleep, Hope, Dream, endless Desire, the Horses of Disaster plunge through the heavy clay: Beloved, let your eyes half close and your heart beat over my heart, and you hair fall over my breast, Drowning love's lonely hour in deep twilight of rest, And hiding their tossing manes, and tumultuous feet. Kevin? Kevin. Kevin Garvey. You don't have to hide from me.

      Kevin Garvey: [stares a moment. looks over at a toolbox. gets up and retrieves a gutting knife from it, and stalks back over to stand in front of Patti bound to a chair] You're going home.

      [kneels and starts cutting her loose]

      Kevin Garvey: You're not gonna' tell anyone what I did to you. Because I'll fuckin' tell them. Lose my fuckin' job, so fuckin' be it. But I am not gonna' lose my mind listening to the words coming out of your fucking mouth. No, Patti. No. I don't understand you.

      Patti Levin: [picks up a piece of broken glass as Kevin walks toward the door to leave] Kevin!

      [he turns to face her]

      Patti Levin: You do understand.

      [Patti stabs herself in the neck, blood pouring down her body as she collapses]

      Kevin Garvey: Oh Jesus! Oh God!

      [rushes to Patti and lowers her to the floor, removing the shard from her neck]

      Kevin Garvey: What the fuck did you do? What the fuck did you do?

      Patti Levin: [last words] You understand...
