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.

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.
