'Is a metaphorical idiom in English for an important or enormous topic, problem, or risk that is obvious or that everyone knows about but no one mentions or wants to discuss because it makes at least some of them uncomfortable or is personally, socially, or politically embarrassing, controversial, inflammatory, or dangerous.'
This was a beautiful episode with some clever symbolism. Damon Lindelof to me is probably (one of) the best serious tv art writer of the last decade, with the phenomenal 'The Leftovers' and now with 'The Watchmen', using the same psychedelic road to reveal surreal but still deeply humane phenomena. That road btw is best to be enjoyed as the journey and not to stare blindly towards the end(ing).
