Why Australia is so cool?

>>83400473
it's the shitpost of continents.

>>83400404

Why does /tv/ act like this show is up there with HBO classics like Sopranos, The Wire, and Deadwood?

>>83400730
Well, it's better

>>83400758
No, it really isn't.

>>83400730
this place is full of numale scum. just look at all the capeshit threads.

DUDE UNEXPLAINED BULLSHIT LIKE HALF THE WORLD'S POPULATION DISAPPEARING AND YOU WILL NEVER GET ANY ANSWERS LMAO!

DUDE IT'S ABOUT THE GREAT CHARACTERS LMAO!

remember when the entire first season's story arc with the black dude never went anywhere and was never mentioned again? the leftovers is for jaded and depressed faggots that are too scared to be the first one to say "uh...this pretentious crap isn't going anywhere" because they're so fucking scared of "not getting it" when there's nothing to get. fucking fuck off with these shitty ass leftovers threads praising how good it is.

>>83400897
Speaking of the black dude from season one, why would they bring in a baby that damn dark when the mother is Asian?

they make their shit up as they move along, so dont think u will ever get real answers

of all tv series, no. among soap operas, yes.

>>83401431
does not matter in the weeksly bad guy/weekly murdervictim shows, but in lost/leftover like shows its more than anoying

>>83400730
you can tell it's great solely by how triggered half the board gets by it. Take something second rate like the bridge or the americans, no one who doesn't watch it gives a fuck, this leaves a lasting impression for better or worse.

>>83401448
keep watching season 2

>>83401431

most series creators/writers do not : (1) claim during the first season that they already have the answer about the island mysteries planned out; and (2) claim that the answer is a scientific answer.

all speculations, discussions, arguments, assassinations and divorces were based on those two facts hence the massive anger when it turns out the answer was religion and the island was purgatory.

>>83400730

not all /tv/. just the soapies fangirls. different people have different tastes.

Stopped watching in the first season, fucking boring shit with nothing happening, half the cast doesn't even fucking speak

Pushed through season 1 because I liked Kevins cuntish attitude to everyone. Every other character besides Nora, Aimee and Kevins dad pissed me off too much. Got to season 2 and found myself not giving a single shit anymore.
Push through again or was season 1 the only goodie?

>>83400730
It's better

>mfw The Leftovers show delusions time and time again being proven as delusions
>mfw people seem think the MC delusions are real
>mfw they actually think Kevin's fantasy world is real

>>83401602
It was not purgatory, though.

>>83400404
that's not season 2

>>83401968

the final scene of the final episode makes it abundantly clear that the island is purgatory and they all died in the plane crash in the first episode.

How did Hurley get to the Church if he escaped the island?

>>83400730
Because it is. The fact that people keep making these comments is proof enough.

>>83400404
Yes and the greatest television series overall so far.

>>83402295

the island/purgatory is all about resolving your issues so you can move on to heaven. hurley's "escape" was his way of moving on to heaven. hurley was in church to welcome him to heaven.

CARROTS AND LITTLE SWEET PEAS

Season 1 is probably my favourite, but season 2 had the best ending.

I'm not digging Season 3 as much as the previous ones. I guess it's going to Australia, but I felt the same about Miracle. Sure felt like Miracle had a purpose though.

Why do retards watch this show expecting answers?
The reason why people disappeared is completely irrelevant.

>>83402444
I have a feeling that's what they'll do, unless they have something more fitting with the Kevin/Nora resolution I assume is coming.

what is the show actually about

>>83400404
What is this and should i watch it

>>83403040
One day for no fucking reason, 140 million people disappear. The show is about how this event has affected a specific set of characters. It is NOT about solving the mystery of how those people disappeared. It is about how people cope with it. Where did those people go? Were they raptured? Does that mean the rest of us are damned? Will we lose more people? etc. It's great.

>>83403098
so what is it actually about
some people going "hmm where did they go" while shopping for groceries?

Kinda. People react in different ways. Some adults look to God, some get hookers to shoot guns at them, some have formed nihilist cults, false prophets, etc.

The story is about a police chief who has to try to keep the peace while a cult seeks to terrorize the citizens of an upstate NY town. At the same time he tries to deal with his family who copes in weird ways and has his own psychological issues.

>>83402365

they didn't die in the plane crash though. the purgatory flash sideways was a completely different thing. they weren't always dead. they all showed up in purgatory at the same time even though they died at different points in their lives.

>The story is about a police chief who has to try to keep the peace while a cult seeks to terrorize the citizens of an upstate NY town. At the same time he tries to deal with his family who copes in weird ways and has his own psychological issues.

It's my guilty pleasure schlock show. I post on 4chan about it but in public I would deny that I've ever heard of it because it isn't patrician enough for me to publicly endorse.

>they didn't die in the plane crash
yes they did.

hurley just made their lives a little better once he god jacob'd

it was a second purgatory.

>>83403501
the problem is that's all dumped immediately upon s02e01. From that point, said police chief is jesus, hes got a literal demon on his ass, and spends the rest of the series using his powers of "not being able to die" to get rid of that demon then save the world.

>>83400404
According to this shitty board it is. So no, every season is utterly terrible.

>>83400730
The Leftovers is already miles above the cocksucker soap opera

>>83400897
Took me a while but i am afraid that's exactly what it is. The whole show is basically a very long Lost finale.

>>83400897
wait but the black dudes story did go somewhere that's why s1 was actually good.

He granted kevins wish at the end. The story that never went anywhere was Tom's it existed solely to give the baby to kevin and nora.

>>83400897
to be fair... "black dude's" story was about a dude setting up a toll booth at the fourth stage of grief, bargaining, and charging for "acceptance." As the entire first season was nothing but strained metaphor for the stages of grief.

This was all dropped of course as soon as lindelof took over the writing.

>>83404171
>his own psychological issues

None of it is real. Even if it is, it's literally not important (as of s03e07).

>>83404250
The show essentially got cancelled, so imagine this is season 5.

The plot is build around the Departure. Kevin's manifestations are from him trying to regain control and feel important. Even if he is Jesus, he doesn't care. He's accepted that the world has ended and is now trying to fix his life with his family, not be Jesus.

It went off the rails after season one. It's basically Lost tier

Also, what about that flashback that Laurie had in s1 that went nowhere?

>>83400897
The whole point of Holy Wayne's sub plot is that he was a fraud. This is further proven by Tommy's arc in Season 2. Anyone can do what Wayne did in a world where the entirety of humanity is in an existential crisis and probably clinically depressed.

>>83409576
breh, no point in bothering to explain it. People who don't get it are either too stupid to get it on their own are too stupid to let go of their dumb opinion that they'll fight to the death to hold on to. Leftover threads are literally the worst because of them.

During the flu epidemic in 1918, 5% of the worlds population died.

You know what, people didn't go crazy, they just moved on. The whole idea that the entire world would go insane from 2% of people disappearing is stupid. It would be shocking and big news for a few months, then people would start playing videogames, watching movies, watching sports again and forget all about it. The world would go back to normal relatively quickly. It would just be some mystery that people talked about sometimes but mostly forgot about. Not some earthshaking cosmic disaster that shattered the minds of humanity. Humanity is way stronger and more banal than that.

the only way this makes sense
is if 98% of the world disappeared, and the 2% is all that remained.

That would be the twist that makes this world dystopian as fuck

>>83411434
Yeah you are a retard.

Their fucking clothes vanished with them. Not to mention the fact that there is no reason for it not to happen again? You're telling me you would go back to following sports?

>>83411554

Yeah see, that would work. 2% leftover would actually make this show work, people would be insane and in shock for decades. Society would collapse.

Instead they did the reverse and had 2% disappear and 98% leftover? Nigga are you serious? "Oh no, 4 people out of the 200 people I know disappeared! I guess I better go insane and start a crazy fucking cult!"

It's retarded.

>>83411434
that's a nice false equivalence you're basing your argument on. I don;t get why you keep coming back and posting it over and over again.

>>83411434
>>83411699
breh, people don't let shit go. This isn't about the 98% of the people who are still around, it's about the few that were directly affected by the departure. They don't show you the random majority that moved on with their lives, they show you the specific minority that didn't and the story is about them because it would be super boring if it was about the former.

>>83411699
>people would be insane and in shock for decades. Society would collapse.
except they wouldn't because society wouldn't collapse, it wouldn't exist. They would go insane from not being able to live how they used to and reduced to living like cavemen.

>>83411685

Yes. And everyone else would too. It would be a mystery for a little while, but within six months people would just shrug it off and forget about it. The people who don't understand this don't understand humans.

Remember Malaysia Airlines Flight 370? That jet with 300 people on that just fucking disappeared a couple of years ago? Remember how they never found anything despite the biggest search in aviation history? Most people forgot about it completely. You get some crackpots with conspiracy theories but most people just shrug and move on and forget about it. You could do that with an entire town, say every person in Missoula, Montana just disappeared tomorrow. It would be huge news for a few months. And when after a year or so investigations turned up nothing people would just move on with their lives and forget about it. There would be a bunch of conspiracy stuff "aliens took them" "the government has them in secret fema camps" etc. But mostly people would just move on and forget it ever happened.

In reality you, just like everyone else, only care about the couple of hundred people you know directly. It's called Dunbar's Number. Everyone beyond that you don't really think of being real. Not really. It's why you don't feel and different in impact between hearing 30,000 people died in a disaster and 300,000. Scope insensitivity.

If every single person in China mysteriously disappeared today, vanished with no trace. I would be over in it like, a day. Maybe not even a day. I'd be back to watching movies and porn and eating pizza that same day.

>>83412075

leftover threads are literally the worst threads because of retards like him (and I'm giving him the benefit of doubt that he's not the same retard spouting the same shit over and over again)

tl;dr he's a retard with a retarded argument and there's no point in engaging him. It's like arguing with someone who believes the earth is flat.

>>83412635
I'm going to assume you're well over 18. Despite all contradicting evidence.

You remember how they rushed to put a face on 9/11? As many faces as possible? This was to ensure it locked into the public consciousness as quickly and solidly as possible. GWB's initial reaction to it ("wow, bad pilot") would have been the reaction of most people without the assigned faces, the idea of it as an attack, the manufactured opposition, the other, placed as responsible parties, parties to which there is the capacity to retaliate.

People just vanishing can't have a similar treatment. Disease before medicine couldn't really be handled the same way. Some people lost their shit but most people just soldiered on. A number of superstitions arose on how to deal with disease (bless you) but the severity of such things faded into obscurity.

Part of growing up is realizing one day you and everyone you know is going to die and there is nothing you can do about it. But the central premise to the leftovers is, somehow, all the characters are literal children who somehow never even so much as conceived of death or loss until the happening.

Also its more than one person saying such things.

>>83412869
You still have yet to address any facet of the argument. Despite multiple people presenting expansions and contractions of said argument,

a show where all episodes are produced before airing is a lot different than shows that are produced as they're aired.

I love the music choices on this show but they're always so overt. God Always Knows is goat but didn't fit the scene at all and completely overpowered what was happening.
