Ahh ok then. I guess I was hoping the spiritual stuff wouldn't be the entire focus, but this doesn't necessarily mean it will be.

I rewatched both seasons and s1 definitely improves a lot but is still far, far below s2.

I still really don't get this assertion. Fair enough if you really just hated the mystical side, but imo season 1 has far too much (at least the first half) smug, self-satisfied, misery porn bullshit. And I still like that season. The emotion and character work feels much more real and effective to me in the second season, which I consider GOAT television. The difference in the title sequences basically says it all, for me. S1's is overbearing and tryhard, while s2's is more evocative.

What about the many season 2 episodes with little magic and mystery, especially Lens? Were they less deep or intelligent? Or the mysterious stuff in s1, like the magic sewer grate of fire and the Patti dream sequence (or whatever it was it's been a while)? I'm fine with you disliking s2 even though I'll argue against it but you're posting like anyone who feels the other way is an idiot who is missing the obvious bad stuff. And the s2 title sequence is very obviously about the departure hence the images the song is juxtaposed with.

If only I had a literature degree so I could realise how the Lost finale is Actually Bad (I don't really like a lot of the final season but absolutely think the finale knocks it out of the park)

It doesn't have to be a subtextual masterpiece to be good. Not everything can be Mad Men. It provided good closure for characters I had grown to love. That's it.

I'm in LA right now and HBO seem to have a monopoly on the billboards here right now. Seen loads of ads for Leftovers as well as Veep and Silicon Valley.

Incredible episode. Can't think of much to say, but I had the same thought as the previous poster that Erika might have taken Lily and ran off, replacing her dead daughter.

I mean, I think most people got into it with season 2, after it was confirmed they fixed tons of the problems with s1. Certainly most I know who watch it. I don't think 1 is garbage but preferring it to 2 is absolutely straight-up insane.

The GR in s1 is absolutely one of the main lovely things about that season. Regardless of the thematic sense they might make, minutes and minutes of people showing notebooks to each other is just objectively uninteresting television and something that clearly would work way better in the original book.

One possibility for passages from the book making their way to Aus is that Michael has been uploading parts online behind Matt's back.

Leftovers has always been a little egregious with the cuts to older scenes but this was definitely the worst. What an episode, though! drat! Although Kevin's overall arc over the course of the series does seem a little wobbly.

That finale was wonderful. I could niggle about not really being into revealing whether or not Laurie died and the lack of Jill and Tom this season and other such minor issues but honestly I'm just so impressed with how they pulled it off. People complaining that this finale was almost all Kevin and Nora should note they've basically been closing off other arcs in the last few episodes anyways. This entire last half of the season has been like, finale after finale.

When Nora meets the scientist he asks her why she would possibly want to go back after managing to get there. Make of that what you will.

oliwan, what are some of your other favourite TV shows? (I know I shouldn't be encouraging him but it's better than hearing you all argue why something obviously deliberately ambiguous actually isn't because insert pedantic reason here)

It's pretty fun that the two creators both so clearly believe opposite things about the ending. For me personally it makes its ambiguous nature even more effective and satisfying.

The movie was good but I wouldn't mind a miniseries that gives the story more time like it deserves. Of course I do think Watchmen shouldn't really be hosed with ever as it's basically objectively impossible to top the original but I'll watch whatever Lindelof gets up to.
