The Leftovers

Hey, even Topless Prophet took a couple episodes to get rolling. Well, one and a half.

The fact he rolled down the window to someone who knocked on it and not just ran like a fuckin bandit when he had all that cash means he should have got jacked for that cash.

Anyways to clarify all thats happened so far -

Wakandanz vanished
Wakandanz came back
now Wakandanz dont speak and formed a cult?
Super Black can take away peoples pain so long as hes banging underage asians?

I don't think the people in white came back, it's just their fucked up way of coping with the loss of the departed.

The guys in white are a cult called guilty remnants (gr). The books does a better job of explaining the explosion of neurotic cults after the rapture.

Show blows..shocked hbo gave it a go. Must be really low budget for them

This isn't an HBO original btw.. they actually bought it from Warner iirc.

Hope they kept the receipt.

Yeah, thanks.

Anyways, the show is produced by Warner bros television, a discrete production studio, it's thefirst of several external buys HBO has made,which includes a fox show and a jj Abrams show also from warner tv.

Edit: the jj Abrams show is actually just produced by his bad robot studio, the show is westworld and will be created by showrunner Jonathan Nolan of dark knight fame.

This show is definitely pulling a Lost. Spoiler for book readers

Ok well yeah the show i guess explained it in a way that confused - so the people who vanished never actually came back?(yet) and the people in white are just some weirdos who decided not to ever speak again? I think i better just wiki it because as it stands now its a show without a purpose which makes it hard to get into.

The reverend's episode was actually alright because he at least has his reasons for being the way he is despite being a hypocrite and a poor Christian; it was at least engaging (despite retarded parking lot scene). The cop and his family though... its as if they are being a bunch of emo douchebags merely for the sake of it. It's like mostly everyone else had something horrible happen to them and so they feel left out and are trying extra hard to fit in or something, at any rate I hate watching them and as a result dislike watching most of this show.

My fault for not knowing that "created by Damon Lindelof" would equal a show as shitty as this one, but even I'm surprised. Binged through all of the aired episodes yesterday.... This show is terrible.

If last night's episode was as bad as the rest, I think I'll have to cut this one loose.

I keep expecting something cool to happen and it never ever will.

See that's the problem with Christian eschatology... The upside is pretty fucking boring.

If your carrot is an eternity of playing the the harp on a fluffy cloud with legions of smug Mormons, then you'd prolly wanna focus mainly on the stick too.

At least Muslims get 72 virgins.

every time i read this thread i feel like one of the best decisions ive made this year is not to watch this show

my life is pretty boring tbh

Last nights episode was the worst one yet. I'll monitor this thread, if you guys say something really cool starts happening I may pick this show back up.
