Tonight I'm going to hopefully get my partner into watching the show, so I may end up missing out on the rest of the season with you guys if she enjoys it Just remember that I said "Yeah, LOST and The Leftovers really messed a lot of people up" when the screen goes to black, no matter what happens

Come on Caleb the arthritic dog, it's time for you to steal the spotlight. I'm pretty sure we didn't even get a name for that black dog in seasons 1 and 2.

That dog was one of the best characters in the series- loyal enough to make sure Kevin was okay, smart enough to get the Hell away from him

Jesus that was like a brick to the chest. And yeah that no music at the end was brutal goddamn. I am really going to miss this show when it ends I can't remember the last time a show was such an emotional gut punch. The young pope was intense like that but in a different way. drat that was a heavy episode but so so good

Given the cold open's focus on Laurie going all in and then changing her mind at the last second, I'm going to hold out hope that wasn't the end of her story. But the odds aren't good. Jesus, what an episode. Shoutouts to Today's Special

this show makes it seem like it's absolutely effortless to film multiple heartbreaking conversations. It's unbelievable this show isn't more recognized as a high point of modern teevee.

The cold open of Laurie's suicide attempt is exactly how mine went. I was 15, took a bunch of pills, wrote a note... then after nothing seemed to be happening, drank ipecac syrup to puke it all up. And yet, the scene didn't hit me as hard as I was expecting, nor her ultimate suicide at the end of the episode. I wonder what that means.

Gravediggaz in the opening credits was hilariously grim in retrospect.

I was all teary-eyed and feeling cathartic from her conversation with Kevin and was like "that's a sweet ending" and then it shows her on the boat and I yelled out loud, "NOOOOO"

Or just sort of burst open depending on what Gospel you're reading.

Laurie talking to the dog saying "I borrowed your pills" was really creepy to me.

Fast Luck posted:Why was Laurie suicidal though... She lost her child to the Departure, and -- despite her training -- the only solution she could ever come up with is suicide. That's why she kills herself in this episode, and why she joined a suicide cult in the first place. Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 15:00 on May 22, 2017 |

Even after turning against the GR, I think Laurie hasn't fully let go of the idea that the world is over and done with now that the departure's happened, and that what's left on Earth is pointless. "We're all gone" feels like a nod to that.
