is nobody really thinking about the flash forward we actually got in ep1? what are the possible explanations for it?

the most likely explanation is nora goes up to some remote fucking place after getting scammed in australia, thus the skin damage she had

I'd actually prefer if she actually went through, but instead of going where the departed went, only people who went through the machine were there, this would be truly fucked up.

and I'll drop whats been foreshadowed hardest about nora's entire plotline. The process makes her unable to interact with technology. Period. The people they blast "drop off the earth" because they can't use facebook anymore. Fin.

Mark lynn baker needed someone else to call nora and the dark hotel room because he can't interact with technology anymore and the effect propagates backwards through time. So none of the people went anywhere they just can't communicate with anyone anymore.L O S T

you should hope for something else

these shows are controlled by budgets, and the show can only afford so many characters per show

she has been pushed out via the budget process

That's so specific. I suspect it happened one of the nights Kevin and his buddy were doing some blacked out dog hunting.

They suspected Nora to be azrael's ghost because supposedly people disappear where she goes but the 3 girls they mentioned didn't departure at all

If the visuals of this opening don't make you feel SOMETHING, you're not human.

After 2-3 seasons it's easy to forget just how massive it was.

She has skin damage from nuclear fallout.

The 'end of the world' will happen because enough people believe it will happen. Somebody will fire a nuke and start a chain reaction.

The nuke is hinted by the guy in the airport who was shouting about it and trying to get into the metal detector.

SURAH 81 also points to the effects of a Nuke going off.

I mean, he's not wrong. I am young, and the extent of my problems right now are dealing with a breakup and stressing about when I'm gonna graduate college.

I've only really lost grandparents so far, thankfully.

I DO get to LARP as someone experiencing tremendous loss and sadness watching this show. I hope I never have to feel this way for real.

If anything, this show has made me more aware to the fact how much a cunt I am and how I abuse my relationships.

You're not wrong, though.

>>82570193
Why can't it be a mix? There are definitely some entirely character-driven episodes like the Matt and Nora episodes, and recently the Kevin Garvey Sr. episode. But there's also an overarching plot that drives the characters. Your criticism is pretty confusing, though. Could you give a specific example of why you think it didn't work in the show?

>>
>>82570315
How is that confusing in the slightest? What part is confusing you?

In a character driven drama, the characters drive events. Events are the results of characters interacting with one another in manners that cause reactions between characters.

The first season of the leftovers was vaguely character driven, as most events were the result of actions by established characters operating under some fashion of established logic.

Then in the second and third season, characters have done nothing but reacted to plotting developments. To say, actions by characters who aren't established and aren't operating under any sort of established logic or events that just occur out of the blue.

So the pretense of leftovers being about the characters is paper thin if you understand anything about what that claim should mean.

>>82570691
Characters react to the circumstances that happen, sure, but the show is still about how the characters react to situations. I can see the point you are trying to make, but I'm not sure why this makes you think that the writing in The Leftovers is terrible. You simply don't like characters reacting to things in the show?

You are, that's why she looked like Evee, the camera show the real POV.
>>
>>82570804
The problem being, one huge completely unexplained happening in order to get characters to have some commonality is fine. The problem is the show goes back to that well every episode rather than letting the characters interact organically. Because that's a lot easier than writing something completely character driven.
>>
>>82560025
>the most likely explanation is nora goes up to some remote fucking place after getting scammed in australia, thus the skin damage she had

Why do people keep saying this? Do they just not want to believe she's actually old and that the world doesn't end on the 14th? The first part of the season was a vignette about people disappointed at the apocalypse not happening.
>>
>>82571001
the "old" makeup was so shitty people are rationalizing it as skin damage rather than just really bad "old person" makeup.

Because they can't allow themselves to think any aspect of the show is bad.

LET THE MYSTERY BE

So what's up with the boat people in the next episode? Are they a bunch of cultists who found the Book of Kevin after Kevin Sr. threw it away?

The previews are not worth speculating over. They have already contained numerous misleading dialogues and scenes that aren't in the episodes. Don't talk about them, don't even watch them. If you watch them you can officially consider yourself a cuck.
>>
>>82568620
Yes, people just openly smoke weed in any place lots of young adults gather.
>>
>>82570942
I'm racking my brain thinking through seasons 1 and 2 trying to think of where your criticism applies, but I can't see what you mean. Thinking through season 2, there definitely were a lot of ambiguously supernatural elements like the stuff at the lake, evie's disappearance, mary waking up from the coma, but it was obvious that those specific unexplained elements affected some characters more than they did others. Kevin wasn't really affected by Mary waking up that one night, yet Matt clearly was. People like Nora and Evie's parents are more shaken by her disappearance then, say, someone like Kevin is.
>>
>>82571092

>>82571159
Season 1 was the closest the show ever came to character driven. The worst offender as far as "plot driving characters" goes was kevin's alternate personality forcing him into dramatic situations he'd never have been in otherwise.

Yes, he can be lazier. His original plan was to have kevin seeing patti in ausfailia. But he posted it here and even fans were extremely negative towards that idea. As horse was deader than dead.

But he still wanted kevin crazy in ausfailia so he just threw in evie for no reason.
>>
>>82571203
It's not character driven is what makes you think its bad? Even though it fits the themes of the show when the characters are the ones reacting to seemingly supernatural events?
>>
I think Season 2 took away what made season 1 so special. It felt like it was doing something weird to just be weird.
>>
>>82571193
I think there is some third answer or it just depends on how you answer the question.


I'm convinced has to do with showing that you have no attachments to this earth still.
>>
>>82571282
Because lindelof is claming its about the characters? Because its operates under the pretense of being about the characters? But it isn't? Because it is, in reality, an intentionally weakly plotted show that regularly drops throw-away plot elements in order keep the cheap and easy drama flowing?
>>
>>82571311
The first three eps of Season 3 is that for me. Season 2 felt different than the first, but I didn't think anything about it was there because it didn't need to be.
>>
>>82571330
god damnit negro they reject everyone and watch how they react
>>
>>82571251
>so he just threw in evie for no reason.
Evie works well: Kevin just 'lost' his own daughter to college and adulting, so seeing his ex-wife's new husband's daughter kinda makes sense.
>>
>>82571311
but season 2 and season 3 is both objectively much better than season 1.

>It felt like it was doing something weird to just be weird.

You might be right, that would be a good twist on it. But then where did the male nurse guy go?

Negro he knew evie for like five seconds.
>>
>>82571344
It is about the characters. It's about how the characters react to these situations and either find meaning and link their circumstances to fate, or either completely go on the opposite end of the spectrum. And about characters who struggle to find a balance between both. It seems that you dislike The Leftovers because you don't like what the show is trying to do, but it's not at all weakly plotted.
>>
>>82571439
His job was done so he went back into the void from which lindelof pulled him.
>>
my favorite subplot is the government just cleaning house with the cults. Would have been interesting to see a whole ep focused on that somewhere in the first 2 seasons
>>
>>82571443
Knowing evie is not the point, knowing what her loss does to her father is more important and that is what makes an impression on his psyche.

You are an idiot dude. Not liking season 1 is the ultimate pleb filter. If you like the wacky random weird shit in these seasons that marks you more of a redditor pleb than liking Season 1 over the rest..... you are so backwards its surprising.
>>
>>82571451
I'm not that guy but these supposed character arcs are just a few characters crying a few times throughout each season. The characters have a cartoonish level of depth that doesn't even approach accurately capturing the level of detail and authenticity required if you are supposedly exploring the human condition.

It seems you lack the literary knowledge to have even the barest idea of what you're talking about.

The show is built around random things happening to people and then acting like their reactions are dramatic. Period. This isn't character driven drama. As character driven drama literally means, "CHARACTERS DRIVE EVENTS." This is event driven drama, as events drive the characters. But the events are happening for no reason or purpose and the characters react in a manner that is easiest to write, without deviation.

The characters don't develop or mature. The fact they had to write out the teenaged girl once she couldn't just be "THE TEENAGED GIRL" anymore is just more proof of this. Then if the characters do develop, it happens off screen and is specifically not addressed. Because figuring out a way to get season 1 kevin to be season 2 kevin would be difficult.

stop getting so butthurt over this, goddamn. Its a lindelof drama. If you've never seen one, sure, you'll mistake it for quality. As his specialty is empty intrigue and then pretending it was about the characters the whole time when he can't deliver on anything.

>>
>>82571608
You're not talking about character development, since the characters do develop in the show as we find out more about them and what drives them. What you are talking about is character progression. This is something that a story doesn't even to necessarily have, but even so, I would say that you are wrong that we do not see the characters progress at all through the story. There are clear moments in the story where you can see how the characters progress through the story based on the events that happen to them, it's not things that happen off-screen.

Currently the best show on television and easily in the top 5 ever made.
Lindelof has truly cemented himself as one of the all time greats. this is better than Lost ever was.
Even with the small fanbase most people still don't actually understand the genius of this show. it's sad, maybe one day people will be understand.

If 2% of the population can vanish all at once, why is it hard to believe that people can see the dead or travel to/from "purgatory"?

I love this crazy show. Why do ppl need someone in the show to explain what's been happening to the characters?

Kevin Sr took drugs and spoke to his son who was in purgatory through a TV. That's absurd as fuck and pretty rad.

Go with it. It's entertainment.
>>

it's kino mate jest let the mystery be
