Interview

In the episode, we see Kevin put a plastic bag over his head — something we assume he does on regular basis. Is he dying and coming back to life each time or is he just coming as close as he can?

LINDELOF That’s something that has context later in the season. Kevin is probably an atheist, or at the very least agnostic. But in a world where the sudden Departure happened, atheism doesn’t really work anymore. It’s this idea of, “I don’t believe in anything but then how do you explain how the Departure happened?” What he does know is that he had what amounts to a religious experience when he had this International Assassin experience and that he felt empowered and alive and emotionally connected and so I think that this idea that he’s flirting with — what you and I would say is suicidal behavior — is him wanting to visit that space again. Walk right up to the edge of it but then he maybe always chickens out. He’s engaging in activities in the first episode that would somewhat argue our suicidal behaviors. He’s told that a body of water has poison in it and he jumps right in. He puts a plastic bag over his head and goes right up to the point of unconsciousness. He doesn’t seem to be a guy who’s afraid of death. In fact, he is openly flirting with it. But if you asked him if he’s suicidal, he’d be like, “What? No, not at all. I’m fine.”



Episode #22 (season 3, episode 2): “Don’t Be Ridiculous”

Debut: SUNDAY, APRIL 23 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

In her official capacity as fraud investigator for the Department of Sudden Departure (D.S.D.), Nora (Carrie Coon) travels to St. Louis to investigate a possible scam that involves convincing the family members of The Departed there’s a way to see their loved ones again.
