And in all fairness, your passion for this show as of late has surpassed your excitement for many things discussed. That alone makes me think I should give it another shot and see how the next two seasons play out.

I am thinking I might start it up again soon.

seriously the only “interesting” thing is that people vanished with no explanation. the rest is just a bunch of american-style relijun which is the dumbest kind there is. ordinary dolts, disaffected teenagers, relationship soap operas, just... no man. no. sorry. shit’s weak. nothing original except an evangelically inspired premise with an xfiles twist. zzzzzzz

You don’t get to make broad statements about the show after half-watching 3 episodes and bailing.

If you’d seen the rest, you’d know how utterly dumb as fuck this sounds, but you’ve already said you’ll never watch the rest so...

Guess dumb as fuck is your play on this one.

Sad for you. Genuinely sad for you.

You’re a pussy, and I’ve lost a ton of respect for you.

The Leftovers is smarter and better than the Nolan Batman trilogy, which is great but not like this.

And don’t act like it’s my support of the show that turned you off.

You’ve already said you barely watched 3 episodes and called it off when you walked in on a scene that disturbed you.


Here I thought you gave a shit about quality film, and turns out you don’t have the attention span to even watch ONE episode without interruption.

Sad days, these. Sad days.

Thank you!

(Also note that half the time when I talk about Batman it’s because Slambang has goaded me into it — see above. This is totally different, and it would be a serious shame if nobody watched this show, which is so. much. more. than Symbols’ shallow read after napping through a couple hours before throwing in the towel because of violence no worse, and significantly less offensive, than most of the shit he loves)


Anyway, you get rep points THE MOMENT I’m able to give them to you again.

The WORLD slept on this show. I slept on this show. It was stupid of me, and I wish I could watch it again for the first time.

goddammit

Like folding clothes with “boring unpredictable shit” on in the background that you judge without watching? Haha. Ok, dude. Very important man, got it. Lol.


Again, your position is invalid because you didn’t watch, then bailed.


OH HEY! Remember when you ate my asshole in a mean way for Amadeus? Well, consider this my version of that.
At least I ***watched*** Amadeus before I called it cartoonish, melodramatic crap.

Moral: Only Symbols gets to have fits when people don’t like things.

Seems fair.

christ man.

not sure what you’re going on about really but it can’t be my choice of tv in my own home in my own time, can it? can it?

feel free to pm if you wanna tell me wtf is going on with the emotions but face value i can’t reply seriously at the hysteria.

i think your “intelligent” show sucks. the stoning was just the last straw.

i have all the attention span for something good. won’t participate in a staring-at-a-turd endurance contest. life is short.

and btw im totally uninterested in “lost” as well. yes yes it had high ratings. big yawn. please don’t get a... what’s that old timey word. “conniption”, or something, lmao.

that writer does not write for me. i am not his audience.

but seriously, if you’re having real problems that are driving you to the edge, feel free to pm, i wont fuck you.

i think it’s dumber to finish a shit sandwich only because you took a bite of it

seriously.

entertainment should not be homework.

i’ll watch it if you pay me though

$100/hr good?

Another endorsement for The Leftovers

Of course it's symbols decision whether he wants to watch it or not, but giving up after glancing at 3 episodes (and a very unrepresentative scene) is a shame. I wasn't sure myself to begin with but by the end of S1 I was sold. I had problems with bits of it (inevitable in a show like this) but they weren't problems in terms of quality, more like questions and disagreements. (And not enough air-time for Jill) I don't watch a lot of TV but I'd say it's the best I've seen probably since that 1st season of True Detective.

thanks.

it was 4. i watched 4 full episodes. the stoning happens at the start of 5.

the first episode i looked at carefully and said no. the other 3 were 2nd chance to hook me.the scene was not the reason, it was only the last straw. why suffer?

currently im in no mood for the ongoing depressive state of a whole planet just watching people suffer suffer suffer suffer suffer. cops, violence, suffering. dogs shot, deers eaten. teenage sport fucking. then more suffering and reading little notes and all those pain faces. “heroes”. smoking for faith. the mystical roulette pigeons and the 3 days late dr who. all suffering. everyone fucking sad and angry. the annoying mayor. false memory tropes. stolen baby jesus. mystical cults and prophets. police brutality, paranoia and persecution. magical babies? many flashbacks. real? divorce papers. “don’t forget me” lighters. the organized theft of family photos. it made me tired...

watching true detective season 3 was hard enough, but at least carmen ejogo was in it, lol.

so, maybe i’ll have a new look at this thing around halloween season or something, since hbo is extra $. i know you watch horror all the time but i must have it in limited doses.

plus right now i already have a soap opera of suffering, and it’s called teresa’s troubles, haa haaa haaaaa.

looking for a title for the upcoming boris series. not sure if it will be tragedy or farce...

Thank you for watching and giving the show and honest chance.

Glad you like it!

And yeah, it’s Symbols’ choice, but it’s certainly a shame.

i so wish you were just trolling with the excess displays, cuz it would be hilarious

Hey, if you’re not in the mood for a bleak show, I get that.

I’ll take “maybe I’ll revisit around Halloween” as a win, and thank you for the reconsideration.

I mean, the show is depressing. I dunno about false memory tropes... but it’s a goddamn dark beast... truly.

I paced myself and spent about 3 weeks on it because it was just too goddamn heavy to binge all at once, but by S1E4, you’ve only scratched the surface of what the show is about. By the end — heck, by the next season — it’s something entirely different.

But yeah, revisit around Halloween. Or some time when you’re more of a mind for bleak things and not, y’know, sunny, cheerful shows like GoT, where nobody gets hurt and stuff works out.

im not doing you a favor you lunatic haaa haaahaaa. i am not doing it for you or for anyone.

i might not care for it on halloween either

you realize you being so invested in someone doing what you want is a leeeeeeeetle crazy yes?

im speaking as a friend here. you need to chill it with these fantasies. you do this shit in real life?

is the man in the truck real? or is he an alter ego? o wait he’s real and just left the truck there. did the cop go nuts? or was it his dad. oh it was his dad! did this happen? did i dream it? did he hallucinate it? is this a flashback? is this a dream? is this a kind of thing everyone writes for tv these days?

i get that you like it, but you need to understand that not everyone has to like it and the world will not end if this happens. yes?

i understand that the show is a puzzle the viewer is meant to put together. and it might never be put together. it’s how “lost” hooked millions. everyone wondering what it all means. and i understand you loved “lost.”

...“lost” had zero appeal for me. ZERO. could not fucking stand it. it hurt my eyes.

it’s not about shit “working out”, it’s that beyond the bleakness i didn’t like the whole aesthetic and method of it. i didn’t like the characters and i didn’t like how they reacted to stuff and i didn’t find the situations really interesting. it was more like “everyday schlocky”. it’s like being around a bunch of people i can’t stand watching them fo stuff ive seen on many other tv shows. like getting trapped in the supermarket for the rest of my life.

demonyo made a sane suggestion and i gave him the courtesy of a consideration. i know that he understands different people have different tastes, and if i don’t like it again in the end he’s not gonna melt down and jump off a bridge.

seriously i think you have a problem with this, hahahaha. it’s funny... but it’s also not.
