Ha, there's this. It's a fan-edit, only using older footage. There's waaaaay too much craziness crammed into it, but I still got chills. Maybe it has to do with the fact that 'The Day The Whole World Went Away' is one of my favourite NIN songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HzCWqPhi0o

Last Chance posted:Well, sorta. Spoilering even if it is speculation, since it's related to an actual line from the trailer of the upcoming season: I genuinely wouldn't mind finding out. Like if it was something terrible like they were somehow displaced off the earth, and into space where they exploded... That'd be pretty I'd say, to me, the most satisfying revelation with regards to revealing it would be if everyone who departed is currently living in an alternate reality where 98% of the population departed; that THEY were the Leftovers. Not going to spoiler tag it, since it's nothing more than speculation not based on anything.

Raxivace posted:If they're just dead, even if its for unknown reasons, I kind of feel like that just gives things a little too much closure. Ok, I have to agree with this; there's something extremely unsettling in not knowing whether or not the departed are ok, or just gone. Maybe they're in some sort of hell, or maybe they're in a way better place than the leftovers. If they're officially dead, yeah, that's fairly normal, despite the circumstances.

tadashi posted:Definitely. The show is about survivors of tragedy and picking up the pieces of your life after a tragedy. I think people who want to watch the show just to find out what happened are watching it for all the wrong reasons. We might get a few more clues about the Departure event in this season but I don't feel the creators have any responsibility to explain it. Perrotta certainly didn't feel a responsibility to explain it in the book and I don't think they have one, either. Maybe the show works on a meta level, with us as viewers also having that need for an explanation after such a loss, albeit a fictional one. We just need to all make sense of it. We watch the characters go through this, but a lot of us are, too (in a much smaller and less tragic sense, of course).

Gorn Myson posted:The only thing that I think is better in season 1 than in season 2 is the fact that Holy Wayne had more screentime. Yeah, I don't know why people aren't just accepting this. Implied and not shown, great, but using this as an argument against it possibly happening? No, it loving happened. Anyway, I think a lot of posters who are making GBS threads on season 2 might have only binged it. I remember us all loving it in this thread as it aired. Maybe that has something to do with it? so I'll let it be.

I've never seen Lost, and I don't think I'll ever be checking it out, but from what I can tell from what you all are saying about it, Lindelof was NOT given complete creative control by the network, correct? And this was the major cause of the issues that have been brought up, including the finale and how long it took to get there? Well, I'm really glad that The Leftovers is what we get when he DOES have almost-complete control (aside from the original author helping out). I have a good feeling about how this show will end. I highly doubt, aside from limiting it to 3 seasons, HBO has gotten much in his way.

So, is Lost the reason that people thought there was a recorder in Chau's cigarette when saw Mike when he left the DA's office in season 5 of Breaking Bad? Is it the reason for "Mike's Voice"? Because if so, gently caress Lost.

How people could find issue with the trampoline scene, yet nothing about the wholly (in)appropriate theme song change up and Wu Tang generated writers is beyond me. I'm not saying I disliked any of it, on the contrary. But c'mon; be consistent. Also, this is the only show that fills me with dread to the point where I'm absolutely hooked. Final seasons tend to do that to me a bit, especially when you know that something big and not necessarily good is coming (like with Breaking Bad). But this show... It's carved this hole into my emotions, and only filled it up with feelings of uncertainty and questioning, and goddamn, I don't think any other work of fiction has done that to me, other than House of Leaves, which is why I mentioned it before.

Bonk posted:Any adaptation of House of Leaves, if Danielewski ever lets it happen, needs to be based solely on The Navidson Record and not the rest, because finding the documentary is what sparks the story. Adding the outside stuff feels like cheating the book. I mostly agree; I'd take it one step out and include blind Zampano narrating it from time to time. But it would work best as a series, one season, 6-10 episodes. They could even try to frame it like a true documentary, maybe involving found footage of the "explorations". gently caress, I want a good adaptation of it.

5 RING SHRIMP posted:For someone unfamiliar with House of Leaves why does it keep coming up in here? Is it like a good complement to The Leftovers? That's mainly my fault that it keeps coming up. It's got a similar 'this is wrong and no one knows why' vibe to it. It's legitimately the only true 'haunted house' story I've ever experienced, as the house itself really is what's haunted. It feels legitimately sinister to me. If you like the thought of impossible physical geometry almost forcing itself into your world, then check it out. Fair warning, though; there are a LOT of dry spots that have put off friends of mine from reading it, though I was never bored. Then again, a lot of my friends just don't read, so maybe that's the problem Edit: there's an SCP that's likely based off of it.

I'm confused as to one thing; when Kevin Sr was talking about being in a hotel room (whoa) with a smoldering mattress (holy poo poo!) he said he saw a chicken on tv (what?). I was fully expecting him to say that he talked to his son, but I guess he doesn't remember his actual drug trip but instead just the aftermath, right? Maybe I have to watch it again. Anyway, at least the tv and mattress thing means that Kevin Jr DEFINITELY isn't crazy, if he was (either in death or a dream world) able to communicate with his dad. Aside from the actual departure, is this the first confirmed element of the supernatural/other worldly workings, for lack of a better term? Everything else has been able to be interpreted as possibly all in the characters' heads. Even tower man might have just witnesses him talking to himself.

# ¿ May 2, 2017 11:23 |

Maybe Kev jr gets sacrificed, but something good coincides with it, so it's deemed as necessary and fulfilling. Meanwhile, Nora, not wanting to fill the 'Jesus's Wife' role, hides away. Maybe she knows he was sacrificed for bullshit reasons and is understandably bitter and angry. Perhaps the question she's asked is akin to "Have you accepted Jesus into your life?"
