That's what i was going to say, not many tv shows can pull these kind of things, but with The Leftovers it works perfectly. BTW aaand we are halfway through season3. I'm going to miss this series so much.
Seeing Evie on the tv screen with that blank stare gave me chills. Anyone catch what her sign said? Looked like a bible verse.
Surah 81, a Quran verse. When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] And when the stars fall, dispersing, And when the mountains are removed And when full-term she-camels are neglected And when the wild beasts are gathered And when the seas are filled with flame And when the souls are paired And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked For what sin she was killed And when the pages are made public And when the sky is stripped away And when Hellfire is set ablaze And when Paradise is brought near, A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. So I swear by the retreating stars - Those that run [their courses] and disappear - And by the night as it closes in And by the dawn when it breathes [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. And your companion is not [at all] mad. And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. So where are you going? It is not except a reminder to the worlds For whoever wills among you to take a right course. And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. Thanks, Leftovers-Reddit for being the first result when I searched for Surah 81.
Maybe until the finale. I feel like Lindelof knows this show is so depressing that we need a semi-happy ending :(
That fight was gut-wrenching. That final shot with the water streaming down from her eyes was incredible.
"Like it? I fucking love it! It's riveting! I read it fucking cover to fucking cover!" Theroux needs some love for his performance last night.
Mild/interesting spoilers from the new EW. We're getting a - Laurie-centric episode. - A "wild head-trip episode that's a spiritual sequel" to International Assassin. And then there's Lindelof on the finale... "I hope they dig it. But I've been wrong before." Nah, Damon. You weren't wrong at all.
