the last ep was probably the best of the whole series and i can't help but think there is a direct correlation between quality and lack of weird

I thought of this, this is probably the correct answer.

I guess that's how they discovered Tom and it just had the bonus of her going all suicidey

just finished, and I'm pretty sure the remnant and liv tyler are on to Jill's bro being the new Wayne, explaining the rape scene. had to be a reason she wanted his go go juice inside her. I was kind of disappointed in the episode overall but it was still entertaining and did a good job of building things up. Anyone know the total # of episodes? hopefully 8-10 with no mid season BS. Still waiting on grandpa to get to Australia and meet up with reborn guy, the TV said his name was David something. I may have to re watch S1 and look for clues.

I like the theory about the rape, but it didn't seem like he busted one. She left him with blue balls.

Why, I don't know. Just fricking with him I guess

No way, he busted. If Liv Tyler raped me on camera, I would've concluded that scene in a quarter of the time.

I wasn't sure about this season from episode 1, but I honestly think this season will be the better of the 2.

Man, I was really worried about this season when I heard it would take place in a new location. The first 3 episodes have all been really strong. I don't care for Laurie's story but I am sure it will go somewhere interesting. I think I just hate her character and I have a really hard time accepting that in a quick 2 months she got out of the GR and is far enough removed to counsel others. I think there were some hints at the end of the episode that maybe she is doubting herself but I may have been looking too hard.

I think the girls Departed. How else was the car locked with everything inside it and the car running? I wondered all along if Miracle actually had no Departures, would be interesting if it turns out they just decided to make up this story for press and money. But if not, I like the idea that there has now been a mini event in Miracle. Maybe delayed for some reason?

Why the hell was what's-his-name doing in the water tied to a cinder block!? I know he sleep walks, did he do this to himself out of guilt? Did someone else do this to him? Is it tied to the girls disappearance?

Loving all the mysteries this season, can't wait to see what gets resolved and what does not.

And good catches on all the Australia references. I didn't connect them. I found it interesting that the letter was just labeled to Syndey, Australia with no proper address. How would that ever find its way to the owner unless it was to someone so very well known?

her son found her at the end of the last season, most likely used his new power to hug and " heal" her. She said this episode she had been ling to protect him.


Then again, since there WAS that scene where she saw the video he was watching, I guess it's a possibility he's faking having the power just to try & help the people. he could have been watching the video to rehearse acting like him, either because he wants to be like him or he wants to trick people. Time and more episodes will tell.

Is this even true though? Laurie and Tom agreed on "giving them all something else to believe in" hence the reborn Holy Wayne act. Does Tommy even have those powers? Were Holy's powers even real in the first place? We don't know, and that's why this show is awesome.

FWIW I think he has the powers ("Don't touch me" to his sister, him watching the Holy Wayne youtube early years video, but I have no idea)

There has always been SOMETHING going on in miracle. The first cavewoman scene saw seismic activity kill her tribe, and they showed that fissure in the road being protected by glass. Just not sure exactly what it means yet.

Started binge watching this show last week and I am now caught up. Really loving the show already, especially the piano theme. I think Tommy is just faking the whole Wayne thing to give those people hope, but I could be wrong. Looking forward to the rest of the season

Same here. I thought that was pretty obvious before I started reading this thread

Who knows with this show.

I was thinking he tried to drown himself "in his sleep" and divine interaction prevented him from dying.

when i first saw it it almost looked like maybe he was getting sucked in and his leg got caught??? seems unplausible that if that much water was going down 1 cinder block would be enough to keep you weighed down.

How about that piano version of Where Is My Mind. Best soundtrack of any show I've watched except for maybe LOST
