I don't even know what to make of that episode. I'll have to watch it again at some point. What a trip.

Good news everyone. One more season left to come.

Great. Hope they have the story to tell.

Some stories can go on forever. Some have a narrative to conclude.

Romeo and Juliet, timeless classic.

Romeo and Juliet II, utter shit.

After this great season, I think I'll trust him on that.

Don't misunderstand the lack of inflection inherent in type.

I look forward to few shows more than this new season of The Leftovers, and sincerely hope it is as good as it has been up to now.

That's not snarky or sarcastic, even if it looks that way from the wrong angle.

Final Season pending tonight, and the word across the board has been OVERWHELMINGLY encouraging [reviewers received 7 of the 8 episodes, so it could fall apart at the very end, but it doesn't sound like it].

I won't catalog all the glowing reviews, just state they're out there and they're uniformly glowing. That coupled with prior enthusiasm should suffice.

Leftovers, Fargo, Better Call Saul, The Americans and GoT may be top 10 shows all time, all on or pending right now. Up there with Justified, Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

There really isn't anything on television like it. There are some scenes that can make one misty just recalling them.

And that opening credit sequence. Wow!! Encapsulates the show without revealing a thing, and puts you right into the mood to watch every time.

That's clearly a mystery to be solved [or not, damn it Lindelof] later.

The actress playing Nora is the one who played Sarah, and it appears that she was going to the same site at the Great Disappointment of 1844 to retrieve the doves. But beyond that, who knows the time or circumstance?

Except maybe this?

There’s this guy. He has devoted his entire life to telling people about the wonders of God, even though his relationship with the Almighty hasn’t been the healthiest.

When he was 10, he was so envious of the attention his baby sister was getting, he asked God to give him some of it back, and God responded by giving him a nearly fatal bout with leukemia. And still he believed, and still he tried telling others about God. When he was a teenager, his parents burned to death in the family home while he and his sister sat on the curb watching, him insisting the entire time that their parents weren’t suffering and this was all part of God’s plan. This guy grew up to be a charismatic and influential reverend, preaching a gospel that would then be forever undermined when a random two percent of the world’s population vanished in a way that went against any scripture he’d ever read. Worse, one of the people who vanished did so while driving his car, which crashed into this guy’s wife, rendering her permanently catatonic, according to the doctors. So now the guy became obsessed with spreading the good word that many of the Departed were bad people, and received many punches to the face for his troubles, and lost his church itself to a new cult that had sprung up and already started picking off members of her rapidly-dwindling flock. And the guy’s focus changed, again, to saving the souls of the members of this cult, none of whom wanted saving — at least not until they lit the town on fire metaphorically, and the town responded by lighting them on fire quite literally.

At this point, the guy quite wisely decided it was time for a fresh start, and now his religious fixations turned to what had improbably become the safest, holiest place on the planet: a small town in Texas where nobody Departed. The guy went there for what was supposed to be a brief visit, and was stunned when God granted him a miracle on his first night there: his wife woke up and made the sweetest of love to him. But once again, God was like Lucy Van Pelt with the football, and the wife went back to her catatonia — somehow pregnant, even though they’d never been able to conceive before her accident. This guy told his loved ones about the miracle, and they of course thought he was both crazy and a sex criminal, and as penance for his many sins, the guy wound up doing time — some of it fully nude, in stocks on top of a taco truck — in the tent city outside of town, separated from his wife and unborn son. Still he suffered, and still he believed, and still he preached, and after all of that, he was again rewarded when she woke up for good, told others the truth about the night the baby was conceived, and gave birth to a healthy boy.

This guy should have been happy. He should have been content in his family and in his faith. His miracle wife and miracle son had made him a charismatic and influential man of the cloth once again, but he became convinced that the town was the only reason both were okay, and he forbade them to leave until she decided to go, for good, and take the boy. And this guy’s belief has refocused — again — on a family friend whom he has decided (with some decent evidence) is the new Messiah, only the friend has no interest in the position and flees to Australia rather than playing whatever his appointed role is for what our guy has decreed to be the most important day in the history of creation. So this guy follows him halfway across the world only to get stranded on a boat filled with the most sinful of heathens, and it’s there that this guy meets…

God.

Who is really kind of a jerk.

Laughing yet? No? Have I mentioned that God — after making this guy re-examine every belief he’s ever had, and ever bad choice he’s ever made — gets eaten by a lion who was set free after being the beloved totem of an orgy? And this guy we’ve been following — who has been trying to convince everyone around him of the existence of both God as a concept and this man claiming to be He — watches the lion eat Him, then turns directly to the camera and says, “That’s the guy I was telling you about.”

Now that’s comedy.

Well, that was pretty soul crushing but I guess not too surprising. It was at least good to see that Matt's priorities have shifted after last week in the right direction. Looks like his character arc is complete.

Now it's time for Kevin to head back to the hotel.
