She probably tweeted about it or something.
He was definitely the real deal, Meg just told her husband that he wasn't because she didn't want closure, she wants an excuse to lash out at the rest of the world.
Because he had physic powers, i thought they clearly established this.

The guilty remnant in general strike me as pretty selfish. They use their own grief at the departure in order to chastise others who were able to cope with theirs or even move past it, while claiming that being able to deal with it is the same as forgetting it.

just marathoned this. So now I've has seen 2 Timelord weenies.
So is season 3 going to keep it ambiguous, or will it be full on angels and demons?
>>63616241
No they're fucking not.
>>63615934
This. People are like that in real life though. I have an aunt that I stopped talking to because she had the gall to tell me I didn't care when my own mother died.

Whatever Pleb. Yes they are. But they reject Camus and choose suicide as the solution.

>Yes they are.
Can you even explain why?

When did GR do this?
So is he basically immortal now?

They stone eachother to death. They sit down to meditate in burning houses. They don't jump out of the way of cars. They drive into semi trucks. They shove glass into their necks.
>>63616494
They smoke to proclaim their faith. They smoke to proclaim that life is meaningless and attempts to extend it futile and useless.
>>63616494
They exist as blank silent slates- emulating the universe- for others to project meaning onto.
>>63616494
They pass out a flyer to Tommy that says "everything that matters about you is inside" that is blank (ie, pure potential)
Shit, all their posters seem pretty in line with absurdism

>They smoke to proclaim their faith. They smoke to proclaim that life is meaningless and attempts to extend it futile and useless.
And? They smoke because they think the world ended, because 2% of the population vanished. An actual person who embraces Absurdism would't think anything of this because existence is INHERENTLY absurd and doesn't make any sense. The GR are arguably the LEAST absurdist group in the fucking show. They have a quasi-religious persistent and pervasive ideology to remind everyone that the world ended on October 14th.
>They exist as blank silent slates- emulating the universe- for others to project meaning onto.
That would be true...during the first half of the first season.

The stoning was more of a sacrifice, she didn't look like she was in on it.
>They sit down to meditate in burning houses.
>They shove glass into their necks.
They did kill themselves, but it doesn't seem to be part of the cults plan. The lady did it as the end result of a random situation.
The rest are passive aggressive. It happens if it happens, but they aren't trying to die.

I hope not, but I wouldn't be shocked.

You completely misrepresent Absurdism. They don't believe that the universe is absurd. They believe that the act of seeking meaning in a meaningless universe is absurd, or alternately, that meaning is found upon the seeking and not there inherently. It's absurd to look for meaning since the act of looking for it causes it so you're attempts to find it are the only reason you find anything. Self-fulfilling prophecies- something Kevin does a lot in s1.

Did i say that?
I probably enjoyed the "afterlife" scenes the most out of anything this season. I liked this guy in particular, and I've been trying to think of who he could possibly represent. On one hand the hotel seems to be a form of limbo where everybody just kind of hangs around perpetually and he could just be some kind of figure who guides people one way or the other. However, I also think he could be some representation of Charon in that it seems like he has some form of control over who passes on and who is able to be sent back.
