WTF does LOST screwed people up even mean?

If you didn't like LOST you probably won't like Leftovers.

I think it's just that you can't go into the Leftovers expecting any sort of answers regarding what happened during the disappearance. Watching LOST week to week for years it was absolutely impossible to not come up with theories about what was going on and what things meant. Not that the character development and themes and poo poo were worthless once you definitively found out they were all really dead, but the theories were impossible to ignore. With the Leftovers we at least know we aren't going to get answers so dips into the mythicism or supernatural or you whatever you want to call it happen and you don't have to search for" physical" literal meaning.

This is what I thought. But delta bravos in the thread keep repeating it when nobody is even discussing "theories."


"I like season 1 better than season 2"

"Lol LOST really messed people up"

Haha yep

UmOk posted:

Should. One of the best TVs ever.

For reasons I mentioned in my previous post I wonder what LOST is like after the fact. It was a cultural phenomenon, the constant speculation and fuckery made it by far the most fun show to talk about I've ever watched.

Season 1 had Carrie Coon getting naked and Season 2 had Justin Theroux getting naked.

Who is getting naked in Season 3? This is important and should probably be spoiled so we can all properly prepare ahead of time.

Agreed. The Leftovers is both an apology for Lost and a remake as handled by a channel like HBO.

Ironically, HBO would have probably blew it harder than ABC did if Lost premiered on HBO in 2004.

Basically, I wish Lost came out in 2017 on a good channel but if it wasn't for Lost and the lessons that were learned from it, TV would not be as good as it is now.

Oh please

Anyone listen to Lindelof on the Ringer podcast today? He was on I think last year and was really good. I'm going to listen soon.

Someone said there might be a mini spoiler regarding how many more episodes a minor character is in it so beware if you care. No clue what that means but just thought I'd warn you

To be clear, the episode mentions a main character from Season 2 and how much they are specifically in this season.

Yeah I listened to it. It shouldn't ruin anything for anyone really but just wanted to give a warning before I got a chance to listen myself. I thought it was a pretty good interview. I love listening to those 3 talk. There was another little "spoiler" re: future Nora to kind of be confirmed as being "real"

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?"

This is so good I feel like I'm reading a spoiler

And the Christian themes have been a part of the show since it started. Did you watch season 2? It takes place in the Jarden of Eden and has a charater named EVE-EE who is tempted by a Meg into casting herself out of Jarden.

Because she's desperate and suicidal. She smashed her arm in a car door on purpose (and used to have people shoot her). The scam aspect of this thing enrages her but there's also a darker reason for her interest in it

Yeah. It's sometimes hard to remember this with her and EVEN when she's showing how crazy and hosed up she is, she/Carrie coon does such a good job that I'm constantly like "eh she's not that THAT hosed up" because I buy her bs. At least for me

I kind of appreciated it this episode, if I didn't listen to podcasts I would have had no idea that the dude on the bridge was Aussie Jesus.

Any recommendations for podcasts that talk about the Leftovers? I've only listened to Lindelof episodes of the Watch but would love some more stuff. Especially if it's whole episodes about the Leftovers or episodes of the show!

The main one I listen to is on Post Show Recaps by Josh Wigler and Antonio Mazzaro of RHAP/Survivor fame.

I also recommend the Better Call Saul Podcast on that channel too if you are sick of the self congratulatory meanderings of the official one.

And then I just watch Chirs Hartwells recap.

The first season was exactly as it was billed, people struggling with an unexplainable and enormous supernatural occurrence and how they personally dealt with the aftermath. Everything after is purestrain Lindelof trash. It would be 100 times better if it weren't so tonally jarring minute to minute. American Gods proves you can have Prestige TV(tm) with Mature Themes and still have goofy things like people getting sucked into vaginas, but Leftovers has dream sequence dick scanners interspersed with realistic depictions of suicide with the worst music supervision I've ever seen in a TV show.

Kevin's superpowers are central to the show, and they are just written in without any kind of validation, just like an 8 year old writing a story where everything can happen. That's the level of writing here.
