The Leftovers Season 2 - Page 9 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Feel pretty much the same way I did after the s1 finale

'Well that was emotional and tremendous, wow...but where could it possibly go from here?'

I think it's 50/50 for a s3. To be honest, I think it'll be as much about HBO picking it up as it is about whether or not Lindelof and Perrotta wanna go forward too.

I love the series and would be thrilled to see more, but I think they told a beautiful and fulfilling story that could probably end here. And it's possible they feel the same way.

Decent finale, better than S1's finale, but I felt S2E9 was the best of the season. I'd be satisfied if they ended the series here. Don't want to have a version of Lost's sixth season.

Based on the rest of the thread's comments, guess it's time for me to start binge-watching Fargo.

This show really started with one I barely cared for to one I watched just to watch to one of the better shows on television. Honestly, did not see this coming.

I think it's become quite obvious that there are.

Kevin is Jesus and John is Doubting Thomas. John didn't believe until he could see and feel Kevin's wounds.

So this show is basically the second Lost, right?

There are a lot of thematic and cosmetic similarities between the two shows

Really enjoyed this seasons, from the first scene to the last. Purgatory was awesome and original. Really hope we get a few more seasons!

Excellent. I also wouldn't mind if it ended there, but also want another series!

Also, had no idea Kevin Garvey is doing Zoolander 2, also wrote Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2, is married to Jennifer Aniston and is cousins with Louis Theroux.

That's at least half a win.
I'd like 2 more, but at least there is a solid time frame to wrap up whatever they are going to wrap up.

The back in purgatory scenes were magic.

Awesome!

Also, the decision for it to be the last was Lindelof's. Per Sepinwall:

Quote:

UPDATE: I was able to get ahold of Lindelof to ask him a couple of questions about the renewal, first about how difficult it was to persuade HBO to keep the show going.

"I'm in Jersey helping my mom move," he said. "I was afraid I'd have to sing for my supper when I got back to L.A next week... I didn't. Mike Lombardo called with the good news and it was a done deal."

And why is Lindelof — who previously had to push ABC to end "Lost" much earlier than the executives there wanted him and Carlton Cuse to — ready for the third season to be the last? (In the press release announcing renewal, he wrote that the end would be definitive, "And by ‘definitive,’ we mean ‘wildly ambiguous but hopefully mega-emotional,’ as all things related to this show are destined to be.")

"It's a gut instinct," he said. "I feel like there's more story, but not MUCH more. And I don't want to drag it out unnecessarily. Lots of fans and critics understandably had a sense that we could have ended after season two... That was a strong indication we were closer to the end than the beginning."

Seems about right. I'd expect the final season to be no different in structure than the first two. I can't really imagine an ending to the series that would be any more fitting than how s1 and s2 ended.

I'm catching up on this, now on s2e4. So trippy, it almost makes me dizzy. Also Nora Durst has a bangin ass for a lady in her mid-30s, as I noticed while they were looking for Evangeline around that dry pond.

I was kind of let down by the finale. I think because it was again focused on a GR scheme but it paled in comparison to the one in S1's finale. This was a REALLY good season though. They're doing one more season and they know it is the final season, that should be epic.

I recently watched Mulholland Drive agan and it's crazy how different Justin Theroux is in it. His look, the way he talks, everything

I liked the s2 finale and found it pretty satisfying, all things considered. Great season. My fear for this show going forward is that it will go spiraling off into nonsense like Lost did, really hope that doesn't happen.

Theroux is an amazing actor. In addition to Mulholland Drive, he was also completely different as a really beta character in Six Feet Under.

I think the fact that the writing teams knows this season is the last and that they think hey have a lot more story to tell, leads me to think this season will be excellent and perhaps an all time great.
