re: The Leftovers HBO Season 1 Thread

I have a feeling Garvey's wish was pretty simple. His wish was to be forgiven. He carries great guilt for cheating on his wife and family which was highlighted exponentially during the disappearances.

And Holy Wayne probably read that simple request for forgiveness and was pleased considering how everyone else likely wishes for things to return to normal and to have their loved ones return. Probably why he gave that big grin before saying wish granted.

And it is the show's irony that Garvey continues to fight daily battles with the guilty remnant when his own internal guilt is what's causing so much pain, angst and mental breakdowns.

Or something like that.
