Saw the new thread and got excited, now I'm bummed that we have to wait until April. Looking forward to a binge watch before the new season starts.

There's literally a scene in the finale where Jack's dad explains to him that the island was all real, but the place they're in now isn't. Yet I still have conversations with people I know who claim "it was such bullshit, they were in purgatory all along!"

Maybe that's what people mean when they say Lost broke people. The show broke their ability to believe what a TV show is telling them even when it's directly telling them something because they're too deep into their own theory.

Also his ex-wife showed up.

Can we spoiler the Lost ending stuff please.

Just kidding, we gave up on Lost after the 3rd or 4th season. Not sure if we'll ever go back and finish it up at this point.

The time commitment is ridiculous though, it is something like 120 episodes. I ran up against the same thing with my West Wing rewatch, the tv seasons back then ran 18+ episodes. A lot harder than binging through today's 10 episode seasons. I'll probably get back to it one day, but so much other TV to get through first.

e: I don't wanna talk about LOST anymore or justify why I like the finale. Back to The Leftovers:

Just finished Season 1, Episode 9, The One Where People Depart

Kidding of course, the episode's actually titled "The Garveys At Their Best." And it's really accurate. I'd forgotten they'd done an entire flashback episode in season one for some reason and this one's really great. I also hadn't realized that Kevin's little glimpses of happiness during his rendition of "Homeward Bound" in season two pretty much consisted of scenes from this pre/during-departure episode.

Kevin Sr.'s party is sweet, and it's fun seeing Matt cut loose and not really giving much of a poo poo about anything because of a cancer scare, I guess?

Obviously every character has serious problems, but there are moments of true happiness sprinkled throughout each of their stories and this entire hour serves as a nice contrast for the mega-grim poo poo that's about to transpire. I've always been impressed by this show's ability to create unease, and they do it very well here when you watch everyone's lives fall apart in slow motion lol.

I'm on a rewatch and "The Garveys At Their Best" is a great reframing of the series and perfectly placed in the progression of the episodes. I love how some of the facade stats to break down over time. Some great acting in there, especially between Laurie and Kevin.

The last couple of episodes I've rewatched have featured Theroux jogging in his gray sweatpants which make the outline of his cock look like it's made from marble or stone.

It's funny how he charms some some Asian ladies gardening when he jogs past.

I was reading an interview with Carrie Coon and she jokingly said she thinks Lindelof puts Theroux through all these tough scenes (drowning, getting buried, shot, etc) because Lindelof is jealous of how devastatingly handsome he is.

This is like that Harold Camping guy who kept predicting the end of the world and when it didn't happen would change the date.

The acting was good and I understand what they tried to do. Kevin Sr Is just not a compelling character.

Have to disagree, might not have loved this episode like Nora's episodes but I dug Sr's journey. I kept wondering if he was onto something or just batshit and I'm willing to go along for the ride to find out.

Also, cultural appropriation is a crime?

Rewatching the last episode, the dialog between Matt and God is great. When God keeps answering "why?" over and over it reminds me of when a therapist tries to help a client get to an understanding The therapist knows the answer but tries to elicit the understanding and have the client reach their own awareness.

From the season trailer in the OP that I've watched 1000x now:

We see Kevin Sr. dunk Jr. into a normal bathtub "If I could do this instead of you, I would", but then it cuts to Kevin underwater with the seesaw from the pond behind him, so either he goes under twice, or something interrupts the first attempt.

I noticed this as well.

You don't think hosed up people in a hosed up relationship can love each other?

This is more the rule than the exception. Amazing how hosed up people (Alcoholic-enabler, abuser-codependent, etc.) find each other, it's like radar.

Any Regina King fans should check out American Crime. It's a (now cancelled) anthology series, and she's on each season

Going back a bit she had done really strong scenes in Southland.
