@arishonok: They haven 't shown it yet , but I'm inclined to believe that the boy saw everything and ran to Terry and they went together to the train and that group . And the postman just wants to use Xavier to get him killed.
Ay-ay-ay. He deceived so many people. Killed a friend. The boy was injured. Xavier is sent to attack innocent people. By the way, Cameron Britton is a great actor, he was gorgeous in Mindhunter, he played a maniac incomparably.
Until the very end, I really liked everything. But you can't completely turn a character's character around in one final scene. For example, Terry was correctly informed that, in theory, you can expect anything from him. But the postman was an exceptionally positive hero, and not a loony. He comes up with a story about her abduction at gunpoint, without preparation, and tells it convincingly. What? Does he expect his husband to be killed in an attack and his wife to choose him out of desperation? Well, if he can think that fast. There's a fat hole in his plan, what if the wife manages to tell her husband that no one abducted her. Her husband will come back and just finish him off. And we return to the fact that we were not shown his manic attraction. They seemed to show an adequate reaction to her rejection and acceptance of friendship.
Moreover, it hasn't been shown yet, but I think it was. That the kid ran to his wife and told her about what he saw, and she took him in a hurry and took him to the train. I can't imagine what a postman can expect at all.
@Paramelion: Oh, yeah. And the meaning of all this lies is not particularly clear. If he had told him all the same things, but had kept silent about the murder of his friend, nothing would have changed - Collins would only have run faster on his wife's trail. They survived, then she decided to leave in search of her husband, they quarreled, and she left, most likely in the direction of the train. Collins has enough problems finding a wife, a baby in his arms, shit is going on in the bunker all this time, the probability that he will run back to look for this postman in order to avenge a man he didn't even know tends to zero. There are no police, only a child saw it, no one would have done anything to him. If an impulsive act towards a dude who has obviously annoyed everyone with his nagging over the years can still be attributed to the affect of realizing that their little personal world is finally collapsing, and then nothing will be the same as before, then lying to Collins and his plan, which took a second out of nowhere, to set him on peaceful people, it doesn't fit at all into what they said about the character for the series.
@Paramelion: Only the character in all its depth was not revealed to us in order to turn something around. There were signs that everything was not so simple with this postman, but all the guesses were on the conscience of the viewer. On the contrary, I was sure that he had broken the radio, and blamed it on a "friend", because there are a lot of such creepy people who pretend that it's OK for them to be friends, but they just wait.
@rina_volk: No signs were seen. And Terry broke the radio, for which he apologized in the last scenes. And if you don't trust even overly friendly people and suspect, then this only means your personal experience of interacting with people. Which is sad, of course (For the average person, the finale turned the character of a postman upside down.
@Paramelion: A single adult man without friends who picks up the idea of a bunker instead of forming an adequate social bond with a new acquaintance is already a huge red flag in itself. It became obvious about the radio after Ravi's confession, but he was more than expected from the postman, while Gary clearly did not expect that his husband was still there somewhere and could respond, he probably hoped that Teri would come to terms with time and stop looking for a family. And my experience is the most common female average
@Paramelion: there is such a nice guy syndrome, when "good" men believe that they owe something for this "goodness" :) and as a result, they rape/ kill, whatever, and this is right and fair for them, because they were "supposed" to respond.
@Paramelion: He is completely alone, reads text from cards and works at a job that is usually reserved for people with disabilities. In the Russian translation, he talks about a pension (apparently an allowance), at his age. Asperger's is highly likely, and it seems to be with a disability. And these are not signs, but just explicitly spelled out.
@rina_volk: Is a kind guy with bad social skills a red flag right away? Beyond my understanding, of course. He didn't need a bunker by itself, just a friend. And he was preparing this bunker for him.
Another beautiful story, a look at the same events through the eyes of a new character, Gary the postman. And at the same time, Teri finally returned to the screen. Honestly, the series is starting to look more and more like a Fallout Market, survivors, and that's it) But rather in a good way, and in this series they even dispensed with the events in the bunker. Apparently, it's not as interesting there right now as it is outside.
And this Gary turns out to be not at all as quiet as they tried to imagine him for almost the entire series. Purely out of emotion, he took and killed the one who, in fact, organized a shelter for him and several other people. In fact, he only provided the room itself, and it was Ennis who steered the rest, who, by the way, initially set him up for this very survival in the apocalypse, albeit at first in a joking way. And all for the sake of some leftist fool who was looking for her husband and children anyway, and the probability of their reciprocity was near zero, even if she did not find Xavier or he was killed somewhere along the way. Moreover, the child's psyche was traumatized by such a sight. In general, this is a very controversial decision. It may be partly justified by the fact that Ennis broke the radio and handed them over, but there are doubts about that.
It's interesting with the train as a whole, but it's a pity that Xavier doesn't go there in peace, but immediately with a bomb. It is not very clear why Teri was abducted, and whether this is really the case, and not she herself left with Bean and who else remained of the survivors at the post office. After all, they already know Gary by sight, why can't we somehow come to an agreement with them through him? There are a lot of armed men there, what chance can there be against them? And now God forbid I get out of there, and hell knows how to get to Colorado in this case. Well, let's see where they go in the next episodes. Fortunately, we were promised at least another season, so in addition to frost, the topic of heat should also be revealed, or how they were going to prevent it.
P.S. The topic inside Atlanta itself and the incomprehensible wall has not yet been revealed, but I hope this will also be explained gradually. Zombie apocalypse, huh))
This is not the series I started watching. It was about intrigues, murders, investigations in a bunker. I was just starting to memorize the names of the characters. They seem to have begun to reveal them a little bit. Conspiracies, skeletons in the closet, scary secrets... and now the second season. The children from Mad Max appeared and disappeared. The woman hid in the museum, bumped into a passerby and died. There seemed to be some other people flashing by. It's generally perpendicular to them. Here's a quiet psychopath in post-nap. It's so fresh, it's cramping my cheekbones. Well, we would have made it a separate series "How the Negro walked through the Fallout."
When I started watching the series, I thought: "Oh, the death of the president, detective, high," but now we all know that the essence of the series is about something else entirely. The first one was about this underground bunker. It's an interesting season, but this one is a thrill. Every episode is a fire. They are so cozy, lamp-like and soulful. Just people, just the apocalypse, just survival. (and nerds would be the most tenacious and tough) This is the usual story of Annie's survival in the house of the "king", first alone, then with a nice and, importantly, kind company, then with GG. And this cool bunch of singles in this series. It's all so cool, it's all so new. Not like in all the TV series about the post-apocalypse. It's been a long time since I've felt so good watching it.
A separate respect for music, I already wrote it under some kind of series))) The tracks are perfectly matched and very coolly remade
@SchwarzwalDem: I'll surprise you, but an electromagnetic pulse doesn't kill electronics in principle, at most it temporarily prevents them from functioning normally, I rebooted/waited and that's it. Like solar flares, they can cause a blackout on earth, but more often than not they are even invisible.
Damn, I was so upset about the murder of that dude bunker organizer. I got into his character, he developed so abruptly — from an unsociable survivor, he gradually moved on to a sensitive character, capable of warmth and admitting mistakes. Mailman, what have you done?
That's a twist, of course. The postman turned out to be rotten. It's not clear what his plan is, of course. He doesn't seem to have thought it through very well.

44But what did he do to Terry anyway? I didn't understand something.
And the postman just wants to use Xavier to get him killed.
By the way, Cameron Britton is a great actor, he was gorgeous in Mindhunter, he played a maniac incomparably.
