Drama Damon Lindelof Developing The Leftovers at HBO

[Rowsdower!]

Okay, so Wayne is one sleazy f***. KILL HIM. KILL HIM WITH FIRE.

Interesting stuff though with Kevin's dad. I really want to know what's so special about that issue of NatGeo. I'm also curious about Kevin's blackouts.

Carrie Coon is stealing this show.

I'm getting tired of this **** dragging.

I honestly just assumed he was going to roll it up and beat that dog into submission with it.

Every week, it just astonishes me even more than the week before. Incredible episode. Such a unique, engrossing, intoxicating piece of work, the whole hallucination part with Kevin was haunting & that moment between him & his dad in the dinner was fantastic.

Theroux continues to kill it (seriously, he doesn't seem to be garnering as much as attention as he should IMO, I'd put him down for an Emmy nod, along with Coon, Eccleston), Glenn is excellent as always, Zylka is showing a lot of promise as well, makes me think of how underused he's been in The Amazing Spider-Man.

Visually, it's also such a distinct show, practically all shows nowadays are shooting on Alexa (some on Epic) and tend to all look the same, but this one truly stands out. Michael Slovis (Breaking Bad's DP for most of the show) did the pilot & really established a strong visual style (along with Pete Berg), Todd McMullen (did The Newsroom) is doing a great job on the rest of the show.

That really didn't surprise me. In the first episode he had about 20 of those young Asian girls all hanging out by the pool at his ranch.

Carrie Coon is stealing this show.

Dat ass

 

[squeekness]

That was a human bite mark on the cop's hand, right? Cause it didn't look much like a dog bite. Did he do the kinky with the daughter's friend and forget? She keeps looking at him and asking questions that could go either way.

 

[Hyde]

Yeah I thought the way she was acting was suspicious.

Another fantastic episode, although I'm worried it'll get to the end of the series and it'll feel like the plot hasn't really progressed and we've just been watching the daily lives of these characters. That's what it feels like at the moment and while it's GREAT, I want to delve deeper into what Wayne's up to, what's up with Kevin's dad, the Guilty Remnant, the dogs etc.

Can we assume that there's some kind of connection between the dogs and Wayne now because of the vision?

 

[squeekness]

Part of me half wonders if the dogs are the people who disappeared, or something like that. That they got transformed somehow. I dunno....

That's what the show is though, a sort of reflection on all this, and it is SO refreshing. Fingers crossed for season 2 renewal, but it should be a matter of time, it's a big hit for HBO when you take into account all their platforms.

 

[Hyde]

I get that, but there's a way to do both that and advance the plot. Say this show runs for two or three more seasons, keeping the same pattern and style in each one, by the end of it people will be thinking 'well, what was that for?'. After a while watching the daily lives of these people is gonna get really boring.

 

[Tim_Riggins]

If people wonder "what was that for", then it's just not the show for them, you can"t please everyone.

 

[runawayboulder]

I'd expect a Season 2 announcement as soon as the finale is over.

 

[squeekness]

Hope so. I like this show enough to keep going.

 

[antsman41]

I just think it's funny how Jill's friend never has a bra on.

My sister's friends sure didn't do that around my parents...

It had better not be that. Dammit if this turns out to be some True Blood "shifter" bullsh**, I'm canceling HBO.

Lol, I wasn't thinking shifter so much as a higher power transformed them against their Will kind of thing, or that it made the dogs smarter somehow. Like that dog the cop ended up with, it seemed to me that it was trying to communicate somehow. As for the human bite on the hand, I was thinking it was a kinky sex thing, like the friend of the cop's daughter did it and he forgot. I dunno, I'm just trying to work out all the strangeness and I am probably not even close, lol.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, I know... this show is crazy. At this point, I have no f***ing idea what is going on but I do think Kevin's father is on the right track about the leftovers being "in the game now." The only question is then, what the hell is the game?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

This show has so much going on and it all works.

None of the side stories are dull or weak.

and the way they're all interconnected keeps you well engrossed.

 

[Marvin]

I just keep hoping this show isn't Lindelof'd. For me, with him it's always like this; a great start, big mystery, great introspective and characters then come the ending....fingers crossed they actually deliver for me this time around.

 

[chamber-music]

Okay, so Wayne is one sleazy f***. KILL HIM. KILL HIM WITH FIRE.

You can never trust that slick SOB Johnson t:

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah. I just found out recently that he also played the Marquis de Carabas in a BBC adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. That's some perfect casting right there.

 

[Tim_Riggins]

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

renewed for second season !

 

[squeekness]

Great news.

 

[rashad]

I'd expect a Season 2 announcement as soon as the finale is over.

Renewed well before it.t:
