AxeManiac posted:We end the season in the other world where everyone has to deal with 98% of the population disappearing.  Yeah, like a parallel world? But that would be a WAY different world post-rapture than the other one. Our modern world can deal with 2% of people going missing, but 98% would be devastating. Basic services would break down in like a week and then everything would be quite bleak. Kinda like the show uptil now ...

Losing 98%, the world economy would cease to exist and I imagine the remaining 2% would die off pretty quickly as a result of things like food supply, oil supply, and access to medical resources being cut off in the first few days and weeks following the Rapture. They'd be wishing they were taken/not-taken.

At this point, someone ought to make a list. Wayne's Hugs, Asian babies, Father's invisible friends, National Geographic, Patty's soothsaying. Just go full LOST with it.

They'd be wishing they were taken/not-taken. People wouldn't just die off. We know that at some point in history the total human population was around 10,000. For comparison, 2% of just the population of New York City would still be almost 170,000. It'd be pretty bad, but people would figure out a way to get by.

There's some sort of war happening there that the US is involved in. Patti mentions that Gladys' son died in Yemen.

The world would be reset for sure, but the bigger problem would be the unmanned nuclear plants and all the planes in the sky and man, that would be a horror show for real. Doctors leaving mid operation, little baby fetuses falling to the ground because their mothers disappeared, nobody left to shoot dogs. I don't want to think about that terrible world. Those ABC pictures are awesome.

Last Chance posted:Christ, this thread has been trying to answer that question after every single episode that's aired. I personally think this show is great. Caught up right before the finale; want to talk about whether the show is good or not again. (It's great and you should tell your friends.) I think one of the main reasons--and no one for whom this applies will ever admit this--that so many tv reviewers and watchers couldn't get on board is because no one in the show gets to be a "badass." Almost every other prestige drama I can think of has some character most of the viewers would kind of like to imagine themselves being (at least in part, no matter how "flawed"). And that character acts as a driving narrative force, taking the viewer along for the ride. But who the hell would want to be Kevin Garvey (slow, confused, *emasculated*), the show's nod to the trope? If this has already been discussed to death, apologies. But that's the main thing I can think of. (That, and that one of the things the show is primarily about is sadness/grief (as others have observed), and many people just don't want that in their television. I mean, I guess I'm not sure exactly why I do, either, but the characters and their broken world are still compelling to me. Even if I still don't care about the Guilty Remnant.) I kinda hope Lindelof was burned enough by the Lost criticism that he doesn't make me regret the decision to take this ride with him, though. I'm willing to go without precision-instrument narrative compulsion; I'm not willing to go without thematic or narrative cohesion, period. But thematically, the show has already operated well enough to earn some trust. VVV edit: yeah. And, I mean, it's not like Lindelof actually deserves all the personal attacks/derision thrown his way for Lost. It was just a show, and sometimes those don't work out the way viewers would like. But Lost didn't work for me, either, and I do think the Leftovers needs to (and does) operate on a different level. onefish fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Sep 7, 2014 |

I hope he gets redeemed with this show. The amount of bullshit that gets thrown at Lindelof and the show for some wrong leftover (pun intended) from Lost is staggering. It's a good show and nobody is forcing anybody to watch.

It's an excellent character drama full of bold plotting, cohesive worldbuilding and clever revelations in its debut season and I have yet to read a legitimate criticism of it that isn't someone transparently projecting their anger that it isn't "lost part 2, but with swears". The closest I've seen to an understandable gripe is that it's so relentlessly depressing by nature, and a lot of people can't take that in their television just like many people who can't handle cringe comedies.

What's funny is that it does feel like "lost part 2, but with swears" to me, only it's a bit more honest about what it is prioritizing. It's not teasing along some bullshit hatch all season, which is a good idea if the writers have no intention of making the hatch be the focus of the show long-term. It feels a lot more upfront about the fact that the characters and not the mystery are what we should be paying attention to. Disclaimer: I loved Lost, the hatch, and even if I recognize the ending as flawed I still enjoyed it.

I thought most people hated this show because they hated Lindelof and were afraid he'd just make Lost all over again? It's getting hard to keep track of the reasons I should ignore anyone who has a different opinion.

This show is absolutely the spiritual successor to LOST. LOST really hosed up a lot of people.

I thought that last episode was the "greatest episode of lost" ever. Leftovers totally is a spiritual successor to Lost in the best of ways. People need to stop hating on Lindelof, but also he could stand to have just a TAD thicker skin about the criticism of Lost.

That was something I guess. I like a lot of stuff about this show, but they need to chill out with the slow motion, hyper-emotional music segments. The dramatic effect kinda wears off when you do it nine times in an episode.
