So, has anyone watched the first episodes?
what do you guys think about them?
how do you feel about the season ending this month? (two episodes each monday).
(season 2 spoilers ahead)
I am loving the clues and insight we are getting so far, especially from Milan and his seemingly insane mission to redeem people through death...
Most interesting for me is Victor. I wasn't sure what to think since the beginning but have long wondered what his mother meant by the "fairy" that would take care of him. I almost wonder if she was planning on having him committed to a psychological institution and told him that so he wouldn't be afraid. I also wonder if he was a Revenant at the time of the crash and tried to stop it from crashing rather than cause it as he seems to foresee many things... he may oppose the idea that people need to come back and helps them see visions of their worst fears/memories so they can work through them in their current life state rather than having to come back after their death, helping them attain peace; almost like a warm welcome from the heavy weight of Nietzche’s concept of the eternal return and the idea that we are destined to perpetually return and live the same experiences.
There are many cyclical themes running throughout the show that have made me return to that concept. What do you guys think?
All in all, I am loving the series and haven't been this compelled about the aura of mystery surrounding a show since pre-writer's strike Lost! Also happy they haven't given away too much too soon, but are gradually opening up a few answers. I like sitting and stewing on ideas, figuring out what's right or wrong along the way.
I hope it continues to reveal itself in the right pace and won't wrap itself up in a "all religions welcome to heaven" mess with a bow and pile of unanswered questions lying in its lake wake.
