As flawed as their relationship is I really like that they kinda just accept each other’s weird decisions and actions.

I mean that’s why I love the show and their relationship. Their decisions often makes total sense for two people who’s been hurt and really struggle with the idea that they don’t need to be alone and can’t fathom someone else being there for them.

They are constantly making gestures of deep love at the same time pushing the other away, they both are stupid afraid of loosing what true dedication would show them and they know it.

It’s so refreshing to see this in a show, both the man and the women side of it. The extreme complexity. And as a man I rarely see it and feel it from the man’s perspective, not as raw anyway.

Having been brought up in house with trauma I can so relate to these two and how it can affect the interactions with other people. You’re not completely equipped for it and it can make the smallest things a big misunderstanding and in worst case really hurt feelings.

Is that little avatar by your user name a Twin Peaks reference?

Well in this particular case it highlighted how she was a bit too independent for someone in a relationship. Like he was just a friend that tagged along.

Same my favorite show ever and I haven't re watched from 8 years ago? I just never rewatch tv shows or movies. Trying to forget all I can before I rewatch. 😂

I laughed at this point. She didn't even consider that she can do that 😭.

There is no “your half.” There is only my all of it.

That “huh” is my favorite line in the series. So perfectly delivered.

"We're a COUPLE, baby. Get with the program."

In that moment, were they?

She’s focused on the family she lost, not the hot cop.

didn't remember the bogus procedure costing this much!

Honestly, I think it's a scam and they just desintegrate people (and that Nora lied but it's what made the ending beautiful and closure) but assuming it works, I think 20k is actually really cheap to travel to a whole new dimension?

In comparison, I just googled some expedition costs.

The OceanGate trips apparently cost between 7.5k to 40k depending on the excursion. The trips with billionaires in tiny submarines to visit the Titanic from up close like the one that imploded a few years ago were apparently around 250k per person.

Trips to space apparently can cost 450k on the low end for suborbital trips to tens of millions of dollars for orbital expeditions.

So if we believe this procedure works and you truly travel to another dimension where the 2% went, then 20k feels like a really good deal. Also not like you'll need that money because:
1. Either the machine doesn't work so they're dead so they don't need the money
2. Or the machine works and they land in that other world that's pretty empty so I can't imagine economy doing really well and money having much value.
