I can't believe it took me this long to watch this show, especially since I loved LOST. The 2nd season was, in my opinion, the best season of television I've ever seen.

These forums were at their peak during the :lost: seasons.

Anyways. I think my favorite scene of The Leftovers is Kevin singing "Homeward Bound". Beautifully shot, and reading about how they chose that scene is pretty funny.

It's almost Gametime! Let's go.

Also I love the ABBA song they used for the trailer. I get a very nostalgic DHARMA vibe from the music video.

Maybe "Sarah" was using the doves to communicate with the departed? Those notes were written by them, she went crazy when she figured out how to communicate with them and she's spent the rest of her life trying to figure out how to meet her kids?

I wonder if this will be left intentionally unexplained, a complete mystery even when the show is done.

(And yes, I actually do want to find out what happened to Lily too, and I think it would be better if we do find out.)

No way they don't give us an answer when they had characters bring it up in the first episode.

Loved the episode. This is seemingly going to have two types of groups when the show ends: those that watch for the characters and those who want answers. Exactly like the 2 groups of people that either loved or hated the end of LOST.

I don't believe Leftovers has received a single prime time Emmy nomination to date.

It hasn't. The biggest travesty was Ann Dowd not getting one. Her performance in season 2 was outstanding.

Why was Kevin Sr. carrying a bag of shoes when Laurie shows up in the VW Wagon?

I'm rewatching the episode and it seems weird that Grace mentioned at the end of the episode that they never found her kids shoes.

I think the other place(if it exists) is where bad folk go when they die. Who has Kevin met there? A murderer, a wife-beater, and a child molester. Be cool if Meg was there trolling the afterlife.

Mary was there at the hotel. She wasn't evil.

I disagree. It's a litmus test for whether what Kevin does is real. He has to ask them where their shoes are, and only if they are there will Grace believe anything else he says about his contact with her kids in the other world.

I just found it random that the writers would have Sr. Say "shoes" as apposed to "nothing" when he's asked what's in the bag.

Carrie Coon is going to get nominated for best supporting actress for two different shoes this year.

Also the actors and dialogue are so good. I just realized there hasn't been any action scenes in like 3 weeks. All dialogue. So so good.

For those of you that have watched both The Leftovers and LOST, which musical score had more of an emotional connection for you?

I'm a big LOST fan, but the score for this show is so simple and beautiful. It's a tight one, but I'm going with The Leftovers.

This show is such an emotionally satisfying triumph. I can't wait to see what happens next week. Ann Dowd is still a power to be reckoned with. I watch a lot of television, no other cast delivers more emotional gut wrenching performances than this cast. Think about it, almost all of it is purely dialogue. I will miss this series.

Patti's quote stating that she knows there absolutely isn't a God made it pretty clear for me. She stated that Kevin brought her out of retirement, and since Kevin helped her she felt obliged to help him.
