I just realized Kevin Sr was on the roof after the failed end of the world much like the pilgrims or whatever they were in the beginning of the season

It would have been nice if Kevin died like 2 times max. I think he's died at least 5 times now

I just saw episode 7, I'm not sure where the penis scanner fits on the retard scale of the show. I guess right below the magical negro in the cabin called virgil who is a guide to the afterlife. No, maybe it's the most clichéd metaphor of inward struggle: literally killing another version of yourself. My students in grade 9 don't hand in writing this lazy. Anyway, just one more episode and I will never have to watch this trash again. I don't know why I kept watching after season 1. I guess I'm the only non-fanboy left now. Feels good in a masochist kind of way. There's a reason noone watches this anymore, or why it's not registering any awards. edit: season 1 still good though.

One needs to truly free the Penis, before one can gain access to duality of the self. The Penis is the key to understanding the soul. It's beautiful.

For a second I tried to think of a show that has a passionate following that I could start watching and then trolling its fans with "edgy", contrarian critiques on internet message boards but then I realized that doing absolutely anything else would be a better use of my time.

How does the Penis Scanner work? Does it measure weight? Or girth? Both? What if it's cold outside?

I agreed with all the individual points you made and still found your posts to be grossly insufferable, so maybe that's the sign e: hahahaha I didn't realize this was the same poster who was going on about his MA in literature. I don't think your posts are insufferable anymore, now I think they are hilarious Can you imagine being a student in this guy's English class?

oliwan posted:Yes well in retrospect I regret having watched season 2 and 3, but what can I do? your opinions, especially for someone who cites an educational background on these things, tend to be the most literal and boring interpretation. People fighting themselves is a trope (Logan did it recently), but in context is used in support of more interesting character development and plot themes. Your stuff amounts to pointing and going "chekov's gun" even in situations where it's used in service of a good story, just because you think it's some distinct knowledge you have. You're that guy. You also seem generally confused about moments of levity or fun so you come off as an unfun person. Canadian Surf Club fucked around with this message at 01:37 on May 30, 2017 |

"no one watches this anymore" is both incorrect as an opinion and factually (each episode's getting more viewers than anything 2015's second season received, and viewership isn't why the story's ending but because the showrunners wanted to conclude everything in the third season)

I think it's pretty clear that there is no "God" in the Leftovers universe. I wonder if that will play in the finale next week.

Lindelof has actually said that within the Leftovers' universe, atheism doesn't really work anymore. Because of the departure and the way it happened (too clean and tidy to be a natural phenomenon, too far beyond human technology to be man-made), a higher power/intelligence must be involved-- whether divine or demonic or alien or whatever. A huge point of interest for the show is examining the outrageous and desperate ways people start to behave when they get confirmation there is a god of some kind-- an active god, ad that-- but that this god is not explaining itself.

Whenever I had to get into an apartment complex with a coded gate the first numbers I'd try would be 6969, followed by 1234 and 4321. One of those were bound to work and if it didn't then whatever I looked up my friend's name in the box but most of the time 6969 worked.

You know that the existence of aliens doesn't preclude atheist beliefs, right? If anything, the mass undermining of traditional religions would bolster atheist thought, much like WW2 did.

Sometimes people use the word "atheist" colloquially to mean something more like a general skeptic, like someone who doesn't believe in gods or souls or the afterlife etc.Invalid Validation posted:I think the flashbacks have been a little much this season, I don't know why there is so much of it when there wasn't any need for it in season 2. There were a few in season 2. During the "Homeward Bound" karaoke scene, for example.

Leftovers has always been a little heavy on the "Quick cut to thing you probably remember" (Most egregious in my book: Matt sees the body of the guy who beat him up, broke his hand, stole his car AND credentials to get into Miracle, and the show gives you a flashback to that very event which happened not half an hour ago. Just in case you didn't remember what drove the entire plot of the episode!)
