The Leftovers (HBO) TV Show • Page 50

Oh, I'm not worried about being entertained. I'm thinking more about how the different symbols will resonate and whether the overt nihilism in the first season works better in retrospect.

 

That stuff usually still works for me because it’s so fun to catch things that you didn’t the first time and such...I just remember being in awe of things like the dogs, the deer, Holy Wayne, the event itself, etc...and now that I know, I feel like I’ll be less excited about all that haha

 

Finale time. Here we go. See you in 77 minutes.

 

First season is better on a rewatch

 

eh. it still kinda sucks. and i say that with this being my second favorite show ever. really a testament how strong seasons 2 and 3 are.

 

Season 1 never sucked and never will

 

It doesn’t suck but it’s not great

 

That last table scene though...

I don’t think I loved the episode, but the ending was great. Carrie Coon killed it.

As you can tell from my posts here, I never was fully into where they went with season 3. I much preferred seasons 1 and 2 (I think I’m in the minority in that opinion). Overall, this was quite a show. Unlike any other show I’ve watched.

 

justin theroux and the way he played it the final episode was truly fantastic

 

Yeah. He and Carrie were amazing throughout the whole series.

 

So do you think she was telling the truth?

 

No

 

Yes

 

No.

I think she's always wanted to believe in something, but could never quite get there and its at the core of what drove her nuts.

 

I think she was telling the truth.

 

I want to believe she is telling the truth, but isn’t that also the point of why she tells it? She might be participating in her own closure. The show itself seems to revolve around the idea of faith in something, in the absurd, in religion, in other people, or in nothing at all.

 

absolutely not

at that point she owed nothing to him. totally was just telling her version of what she believed happenec

 

I want to believe it

 

I still don't know, and we never will

 

In the moment I believed her, but looking back at the rest of the episode it makes more sense to me that she's lying

 

Yeah I believed her initially, and still want to believe her, but looking back on everything it was absolutely a lie.

 

I miss this show.

 

so real. my friend actually texted me this morning saying he’s watching it for the first time. was very jealous.

 

If I want to get into this story, should I read the book first? Or would it matter if I watch the show then move to the book later?
