The Leftovers (HBO) TV Show • Page 35

I'm a total Kevin.

As for the finale-- as much as I want it to be completely out there and bonkers, I don't think it will be. They set up a lot of whacky ideas and generally swerve at the last moment to bring it back to reality.

It's going to be Kevin's journey getting back to Nora before she zaps herself into oblivion. I'd love for it to end with Kevin getting to Nora and Matt right after she does it, and Matt has to tell her she's gone. But that's like so grim that I doubt it happens.

 

Yeah, I think the finale is going to be pretty grounded. I don't expect any big twist or anything too out there.

 

Kevin/Nora is really all the closure I need at this point.

 

If I could ever interview lindelof the first thing I'd ask/say to him would be... "admit it...you originally thought Kevin's daughter and her high school friends were gonna play a bigger part in the series and then changed your mind"

 

In fact I'd go as far as saying I bet you thought a few characters were gonna play larger roles.


Season 2 and 3 are so much different than 1

 

Guys...









I fuckin love the Leftovers

 

Don't forget that this was originally planned as a 1 season mini-series that covered the length of the book. It was only because of the success of Season 1 that they kept going.

 

there we have it. While season 1 is solid, i feel like there were a lot of things you'd expect in a show like this. The daughter and her emo friends, felt like one of those things (and it was my least favorite part of the series).

It wasn't until season 2 and 3 where Damon really got creative where the show took off.

 

yep! I give a ton of props to Tom Perrotta who wrote the book and has worked on all 3 seasons with Damon, but when they made the decision to continue the show past the book it really, really opened up

 

Holy shit what a bummer it would've been if season 1 was the end.

 

Sort of fun fact: Tom Perrotta's cousin was my high school film and drama teacher.

 

Less than 12 hours until we're all crying.

 

24 hours for me :(

 

Wait...

How soon do the episodes show up on HBO Go/Now?

 

Immediately when it starts to air on HBO, so 9 eastern.

 

I'm already crying

 

I'm not ready for this to end.

 

Praise Kevin

 

I just want to know, what happened to the children's shoes?!

 

where's the freakin shoes, lindelof?!

 

I thought Holy Wayne was going to be a huge part of the series early on.

 

first season was pretty bad so it's good they switched it up so much

 

Why do you think it was bad?

 

the plotlines weren't satisfying, the character development was in a way where i didn't care about anyone on the show...just thought what it tried to do failed at creating good television.

last season was much better but still struggled in some of those regards, this season finally has elevated it to the level that the acclaim has generally been at imo

 

Wow I'm surprised you like this season more than last
