I'm kidding of course but I've fallen on the "it's a fantasy for coping" side of the debate after sitting with it for a few months

I don’t think she lied, but it doesn’t matter because she either stayed or crossed over and came back. When you love someone, what matters more is that they are there in front of you.

I don't think it "doesn't matter," but I do know that when I was watching that scene, I did not care whether it was true or not. I think there's a very fine distinction between the two, which I'm not really prepped to articulate right now--it's been a little too long since I've seen it.

I can't tell you how I know. But I promise you, I know. And she did not lie.

TIL Joey went to the alternate dimension in The Leftovers. How was Laurie's fetus doing?

I think you're hinting that you have some sort of inside source, which is neat (tell us the details or else) but as far as I'm concerned authorial intent is irrelevant. All that matters is what's on screen and that's pretty open to open to viewer interpretation

The fetus from The Leftovers has never seen Licorice Pizza, can you believe it?
