Well, Nora got herself a baby.

let me just put that scene in context

as they arrive home, garner sees his new girlfriend (who he has to know had to hang out with fake copies of her entire family all fricking day), chilling on his front porch with a black baby. so many questions should be running through his head

Stuck with this show from the beginning, glad I did. Was talking to a buddy of mine this weekend and him and his wife watched the first two episodes and recorded the rest. I told him Ep 3 is where this show really kicks in and that he was missing out on a good series. They'll catch up.

Loved the ending but I don't think that Garvey is getting his entire family back. The way Tom dumped the kid off on his dad's doorstep and then went to his mom, kinda makes me think Kevin, Nora, Jill, and the baby will become a family unit, and Tom will join Laurie and the GR. Did notice how Jill still hasn't said a word since joining the GR, so maybe she is still GR crazy too, but she did go with her dad, not her mom. It was her dad that risked his life to save her, maybe that act changes everything between them for the good.

Also, Laurie is a freaking nutjob. If the GR is the answer than why don't you want your own daughter a part of it, told her to go home? Reason is she knows the GR lifestyle is wrong and she doesn't want it for her daughter. Then she struggled to break her silence in order to save her own daughter's life.

Finally, at first I thought Nora was writing a suicide note until she said she was too much of coward to take her own life. I think she was just going to take off and leave Kevin, not because she didn't love him but because she didn't want to connect with anyone again so she could never feel loss again. Finding the baby on the porch gave her a purpose in life, a responsibility, a reason to live life again. My take away from the ending is she stays with Kevin now.

I really hate the GR. I loved when they were getting their asses kicked after what they did.

And Liv Tyler's character is the worst. Her snapping her fingers at Laurie, for some reason, really pissed me off.

Well, juts as Nora's pain has returned, and she is about to act on it.......HOLY WAYNE's (now motherless) child is thrust into Nora's life......to take away her pain.

The more I think about it, maybe his wish was for his family back. His family being Jill and Nora, and now Wayne's son. Tommy was his stepson, although he tried to contact him throughout the series, but Tommy connected with his mom. So maybe, his "family" is technically together as it should be.

It's a girl so in reality all that has been created is the worst driver known to man.

I still have no idea what the GR's philosophy is. Can someone please help me out.

Just watched the finale again.

That scene with Kevin and Wayne was fricking amazing. I wish they would have shown more of Wayne throughout the season.

You know what else I like on this show? How society has changed and it's just open season on cults. Wayne was obviously gut shot with the FBI on his trail. There were freaking normal housewives shooting down GR members in the streets. Crap grandma and grandpa were getting in on the action.

yes, please don't bring any of that shite back here though
