Lucy Warburton: Jesus, I never should have told you to watch the fucking 'Wire.'
This is is an incredible opening two episodes. Turns out all Lindelof shows end up being about a Christian metaphysics in some way or another but as someone raised that way but agnostic for thirty years I’ve let’s say religiously avoided art about faith. And yet I find Lindelof’s takes so thoughtful and nuanced that I can’t help but take them seriously.
This episode is wonderful.
And the cherry on top: the only tick in the “world is explicable” category that we really got all episode (seeing the kids meet his dog-shooting partner was something—I guess it makes him real—but hardly relieved my confusion) was the finding of the theretofore inexplicably disappeared bagels. Just a masterful touch at the end.

I really thought the Bagel got raptured, it was a good Bagel, and good Bagels go to heaven... ah, well, guess it didn't make the cut.
