I'm beginning to wonder if Kevs craziness is just that. If these so called convos with others are just all mental issues he's constantly fighting in his head. Even the cause potentially for him, his mother dying could have started him down his path.

such a clever demonstration of the futile search for meaning and purpose in life.

hope it doesn't end up the easy way by revealing some real (?) meaning

I'd rather leave it unexplained, just a random event that meant absolutely nothing

Remember the conversation KEVIN had with PATTI in HOTEL LAND?

Where she talks about the ABANDONED BABY she had placed into an ORPHANAGE, where she felt it was better off, because it didn't grow up with the FALSE HOPE that it was LOVED or something?

And PATTI also liked what Kevin said to her about how she DESTROYS FAMILIES?

Are you saying you think what PATTI was saying to KEVIN was right?

That LIFE has no meaning, that FAMILIES also have no meaning or purpose?

And ALL BABIES would be better off in an ORPHANGE than they would be growing up inside of a FAMILY?

Just because PATTI had an ABUSIVE FATHER and HUSBAND, does that mean ALL fathers and husbands are the same way?

And we should all ADOPT PATTI'S way of thinking even IF we didn't have the same kind of an experience as she did?

one must imagine sisyphus happy is what I believe. This being said, families do have a meaning (or else they do play a role in building some meaning), though not necessarily a purpose.

Crossed my mind in analyzing all this is Kev is completely torn in his mother dying to how he created family with Laurie to his cheating to Nora. And why Patti or his own mind making up dead Patti telling him all kinds of garbage to confuse him more.

Last night we hear family isn't important. Or there is no family from "fake" Evie. Complete opposite of message we heard in other seasons. Other examples of both sides, seeing the husband at beginning of S3 turn on his wife who believed end of days each night on roof. Back and forth on different characters dealing with family or no family. Jill no family. Mary leaves or says she is. Laurie left now back. John family now New with Laurie. The Aussie mom losing her entire family. Nora lost entire family but now has but also lost Lily. The cave woman lost entire family then child.

Wow.

OH SHIT! Episode 4 was effing on point with my expectations! Nora's disappointment/anger when she found out she was rejected was just another demonstration of how attached people become to beliefs in time of despair, how the search for meaning overcomes rationality, of how cynical people are so often concerning their true expectations. Jeez this show is becoming more and more awesome, on its way to becoming an absolute masterpiece.
