It was the best of episodes, it was the worst of episodes, it was the age of reason, it was the age of faith, it was the epoch of hope, it was the epoch of despair, it was the season of death, it was the season of resurrection, it was the spring of optimism, it was…
NOTE: Spoilers below re season two of The Leftovers. At the outset of this season of HBO’s ambitious original series, The Leftovers, we saw last year’s precarious finale get knocked right off its hinges by a brutal yet beautiful opening that seemed unrelated to the series as a whole. I gave my first impressions of this after viewing it, in…
NOTE: Major spoilers ahead. Also, not that this is not a normal review, and so its style may not reflect what you’re used to from Sci-Fi Bloggers. It would be more appropriate to consider this a “theorist” article of sorts. That said, continue reading if you’ve already seen the first episode of The Leftovers, season two. If…
The first season of The Leftovers has been a confusing roller coaster of insanity. Going into the season finale, I was prepared to feel unsatisfied with the ending and pull my hair out waiting for season two. Instead, I was in total awe.

As Kevin Garvey is preparing a lovely dinner to introduce his new girlfriend, Nora, to his daughter, Patti is hard at work laying out clothes, toys and shoes in the church that she bought from Matt….
I’m fairly certain that, at this point in The Leftovers, we as viewers should abandon all hope of ever learning exactly what caused the “Departure.” This show has gradually become less about why the human race is coping with such a catastrophic event and more about how. And frankly, as far as coping goes, I think…
First off, all jokes about stoning will never be nearly as funny as they were prior to last Sunday. I’ve seen a lot of gruesome deaths (being into Game of Thrones and all), but this one was so upsetting and brutal, really. What I’m suspicious about was what happened right before it: all we see…
Let’s get ready for tonight with a look back at last week’s episode! What is it about dolls and the creepy feelings they invoke? Is it their eternally frozen facial expressions or their soulless eyes? I had a doll that squinted when you squeezed it as a child—it really just looked like it was constipated,…
