So I suppose the final Answer is that the world split into two identical worlds, most of the people continuing on in only one of the worlds and a small fraction of the people continuing on in only the other, those in each world baffled at where everyone else "departed" off to. That's the what Answer, anyway. The why is left as an open mystery that may never be solved in either world...
But the story never was about what happened that day or why, was it? It was about what happened in and to the lives of those who continued on in the more populated world from which 2% had apparently "departed", and especially the lives of the Garveys and those around them, most especially Kevin and Nora. And in that it did deliver. Wow. And given all of that, what an ending. It would probably have taken too much and too long to depict all of what happened to Nora, so I appreciate how the story-telling summary approach fit in more easily.And how these two people, terribly broken by the massively complex fallout of the "departure", finally rejoined, each (mostly) free of the baggage that'd been haunting them for so long...
Oh, yeah. And: Yay! Laurie lived! :-)
Thank you White Rabbit Productions, Film 44, Warner Bros. Television, and HBO Entertainment for this wildly imaginative and richly illustrated ride, and for not giving up on it before giving it a true and fair conclusion.
