Netflix's The OA

I loved this too, entertaining and horrifying at the same time.

Whoa, Twin Peaks? I couldn't sleep for a whole week after one of those episodes. The OA is completely tame by comparison.

Twin Peaks is pretty tame today. It probably affected you b/c you were a lot younger when you watched it.

OA makes more sense IMO.

Er no - do you not remember the flashback to Laura Palmer's murder? That was one of the most disturbing, protracted murder scenes I have ever had to watch and I could never watch it again, some 20+ years later.

Other aspects of the show are indeed completely lame by today's standards. But that, was pure horror.

Here's a pretty solid explanation/series recap that helped answer some of the questions I had after watching the finale: http://www.thisisinsider.com/oa-season-finale-analysis-2016-12

The way inread this, and i could be way off- was that the movements combine their will power. They did the movements to stop a mass shooting, to protect everyone, and by distracting the shooter and giving the kitchen guy a a chance to tackle him, they achieved that. And maybe they also sent OA off where she wanted to go (am less certain of this aspect)

Why wouldn't the movements, including the fifth movement, have either protected OA or sent her to the other dimension?

Good question but i cant answer that

At the end, she "wakes" to bright light, then darkness similar to when she's had NDEs, and she says"Homer?" I think that indicates she either went to the other dimension, or is having another NDE.

I assumed she was shot before they started the movements.

I don't think the books are any sort of proof she's a liar. I think she bought the books to study and learn more about what she's been through.

Or...Maybe her parents bought the books.

One of my many questions: why did her dad nod knowingly and let her run out of the house when she left to run to the school shooting?

Just finished! It's a bit strange at first, but very binge worthy. I hope we don't have to wait too long for Season 2.
