I bailed after four episodes because watching it felt like I was having a conversation with the show that was going like this:

The Leftovers: People disappeared! Nobody knows why!
Me: Great, so what happens next?
The Leftovers: No answers will ever be provided for why they disappeared!
Me: Okay so like, are the events you're showing me important, or...?
The Leftovers: Not all things can be known! You'll just have to deal with that!
Me: Right, but like... you've heard the saying about how stories should start as close to the end as possible, right? So if a portion of the world disappearing and all the immediate fallout from that event are just the background events, what happens now is going to be even more interesting than that, right? You didn't take that saying too far and start the story after it ended, did you? Just... I just need something to happen, or I need you to show me that something is going to happen, or... loving meet me halfway, here.
The Leftovers: It's like a metaphor for death and the human condition! Life doesn't always have answers!
Me: Right, I'm out.



The A.V. Club loved the show, but even from the gushing reviews I never got the impression that the show had stopped doing end-zone dances on the 20 yard line over how goddamn clever it was.

Nobody uploaded any clips of it to youtube but pretend i linked Seth from UYD making fun of the Leftovers after the first episode for being exactly that

Broadway is inside the loving beltway now?

You're right, Broadway definitely isn't its own weird insular community of well-off people :v:

Elon Musk is, like Donald Trump, a Wharton boy. My partner used to work in academic administration and was briefly working at Wharton, the most agonizing job she ever had, just a boot camp for vampires as portrayed by Udo Kier.

i fear you may have missed my joke, son

 drat, if only someone tried to start a comic company with that radical philosophy in mind, they'd be dominating the marketplace right now and everyone involved would be rich
