The Leftovers Season 2 - Page 8 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

What? The entire season has followed 1 story instead jumping around from place to place like last season. Kevin wasn't needed to tell the story so no need for him here. He will be in plenty for final I'm sure.

Disagree. It's pretty amazing when a show deep in its second season can all of a sudden make interesting a character that has been around since near the beginning, and do it in a way that doesn't come off as out of the blue. At the same time, the episode made me look at a veteran actress in a completely different way.

I actually thought it was pretty meh until the end. Thought liv Tyler was awesome though but the actor that plays tommy just bugs me to no end. Gonna watch this one again I think. What do you guys think Meg meant by "I wanted to get you pregnant"?

Is the takeaway that whatever the black psychic told Meg about her mother's story is her motivation for being a hardcore GR member? It was slightly confusing because obviously the psychic had some ability, but somehow she got disgusted by the whole thing (i.e. the spitting on the ground).

While I definitely enjoy this show, I only started watching it because people were comparing it to Fargo in terms of being one of the best shows on TV right now. IMO it's nowhere close to Fargo, but maybe there's something I'm just not seeing.

Why do people consider this show elite?

Don't know how Meg and the GR got or met up with Evie, I know people will put up a front before they leave their family but her and her friends up and joining that night is strange.

I thought Tommy had real ability but I guess not.

When Liv was being questioned by the black GR lady, I saw a flash of the camper on the bridge, they mentioned plastic explosives as well, but does this not feel a little spoonfed? I don't know what her target would be otherwise, though.

Every week about 20 minutes in, I'm confused and questioning why I'm watching this. Then by the credits I'm more often than not still confused but completely adsorbed and hanging for the next.

I also thought meg was gonna blow the bridge and let the people go **** **** up in Jardin. Who knows now but should be good/frustrating.

Also what was the whole thing about getting Tommy pregnant? Pregnant with an idea I assume?

Just finished binge-watching (well, over the course of ~10 days) S1+S2, can't wait for the finale.

A+ soundtrack for S2E9

Just watched the last 3 episodes.
Kevin with the uber iowaska trip. That purgatory episode was amazing. Lindeloff is an amazing story teller.

Should have waited until after the season finale to catch up. Totally left hanging.

Wow! So good. This better get renewed.

Though even if doesn't get renewed, that would act well as a series finale.

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.
