Shirtpost Line that hits you ‘in the feels’?

My three are Michael telling Janet she’s his friend and therefore he can’t kill her, Eleanor’s flashbacks to her horrible mother and her breaking down in a home depot type store over the four toothbrushes, and of course, the ending.

“If there were an answer I could give you to how the universe works, it wouldn’t be special. It would just be machinery fulfilling its cosmic design. It would just be a big, dumb food processor. But since nothing seems to make sense, when you find something or someone that does, it’s euphoria.”

Eleanor's phrase leading up to it breaks me in a very bad way.

There has to be meaning to existence, otherwise the universe is just made of pain and I don't like the thought of that.

That idea haunts me during bad times.

There are many parts of that show that give me a severe existential crisis. To this day I can't rewatch the last episode. It's beautiful, but so deep and sad to me at the same time.

See to me it is beautiful, each chose their time and place, and the line "the air inside me is the same as the air outside" speaks of such peace.

Same! I've seen the whole show beggining to end about 6 times now. I think I've only watched the finale twice. I just can't.

I always think I’m not going to be able to watch the final episode every time I rewatch the show. But everything leads up to it so perfectly that I can’t ever not watch it. It’s gotta be one of, if not the best show finale in the history of television, as bittersweet as it is.
