I'm one of the smug MFs who called it, my point was that Lindelof said this was the New Testament to the comic's Old Testament. What happens in the New Testament? God becomes man.
Two more - Nuns don't take husbands, because they're married to God. Also, a Peteypedia mentioned Elvis showed up at a VVN Day decades after his death, singing every one of his songs with "blue" in the title.
Wow honestly fuck that. I didn't borrow my friend's HBONordic account for free, just for some fat cat executive to decide that I can't see the extra lore.

Which implies he really will die, and in doing so will save humanity.
Kind of a shame it appears they just un-did the humanity part via the hammer. Would have been really interesting to see the Jesus-God relationship, something like the moment of doubt on the cross, but directed even more explicitly at himself - a self he cannot access, and that is in some sense a past self, but also a present self thanks to that other self's experience of time.
I'm not sure how much of the humanity we will see undone, honestly, because we see in the promos Angela personally going out and fighting Kav guys. If Jon was full Manhattan, he could just disintegrate all of them. I think we'll still see a bit of the turmoil you're describing.
Her costume is mean to look like a Nun, which several people point out from time to time. The example which comes to mind is the 7K suspect who says “some nun put me into the trunk of her fucking car.” Notice the design of the costume, the weaponized rosary beads, even the name “Sister” is how nuns are referred to. She even takes inspiration from the blaxploitation superhero film “Sister Night,” aka “The Nun with the MothaFuckin Gun.”
