I really just hope that the event isn't revealed to be actually the Rapture.

And the "bagel subplot" was sort of dumb.

The whole purpose of that was for him to verify for himself (and us) that he isn't delusional. The beginning of the episode started dropping clues that he was insane. No one saw the Mystery Man, the truck was in his driveway, his bagels just disappeared. He's clearly delusional, right? Well, maybe not. His daughter addressed that the guy exists. His father said someone was sent to talk to him. And he found his bagels. So maybe he's not so crazy after all.

I hope I wasn't the only one who was checking to see whether the daughter and her friend specifically addressed the Mystery Man when he was at the door.

There's still a part of me that's thinking that maybe the Cop guy actually handed her the beer (a-la Tyler Durden) and he's still going to end up being insane (or whatever his dad is going through).

Every play 6 degrees of separation / Kevin Bacon? I think you'd be surprised how many people know someone in a random 2% of people over the world; might not be a direct family member but likely a friend or a friend of a friend would qualify as a 'direct connection'.

Yeah, I mean, how many Facebook friends do you guys have? Imagine of 2% of them randomly went missing. Or how many of them would mention that one of *their* friends went missing.

One thing I wonder which I don't know if they answered or not: Did anyone actually witness anyone disappearing? The Pilot made it seem like people vanished out of sight. I didn't know if anyone had actually seen anyone, because then that might shine some light on what happened. Did they just "blip" out? Were they lifted into the sky by a white light? Did they transport out like on Star Trek?

The people disappearing alone violates multiple laws of physics, so getting all science-y on this show won't really help.

The show implied that he was having sex when the incident occurred but I don't recall whether or not that woman (whether it was his wife or not) vanished. Also I'm pretty sure that the quick cut shot of the guy running around naked was actually his father so the two events are unrelated.

But if you cum inside someone and they're raptured.. what happens to the cum?

I just realized how dumb it is that the GR use pen and paper to communicate. Presumably they could use sign language, right? Or just text each other, good god.

Or some/most/all of it could be supernatural and real since 2% of the planet's population vanished into thin air and magic is definitely a thing in this show.

Given that the creators of this show are linked to LOST, expect a "Hey it looks like we're going to give you a scientific reason for these supernatural events, but in the end we're going to say that you shouldn't have expected that and that the story was really 'about the characters and their experiences.'"
