I had to miss this epi due to a work function - and I also managed to put my Hulu on hiatus a couple of weeks too soon, so...right now I can't watch it w/o paying $2.99. And this season isn't inspiring me to pay $2.99, so.....

I take it the epi went went straight for 'the only real freedom in the afterlife is oblivion," yes?

It would make sense- they've hit on most of the commonly held possibilities: heaven, hell, purgatory, evolution of the soul via reincarnation. I guess maybe it's a good sign that they went for oblivion the episode before last - there's still time for a twist of some sort.

I can't imagine what it'll be. I guess I'll have to make sure to be home to watch it. :)
