I think the point is that the GR philosphy is to not get angry not that
the individual members of the cult never get angry. Which is why Meg had
that smug grin on her face once Laurie smacked her, she pushed Laurie
to her breaking point and in her head she proved that Laurie was no
better than her for losing her cool…

Another wonderful episode. Clearly Dean seem to be talking an invisible entity in the Cabin. He's insane just like Kevin's dad is. Patti's speech before her death sounded awfully similar to Kevin's dad's last week with all the references to "purpose" and the "time being near". I think the show is drawing a direct…

Yea looks like the GR are planning some kind of sick prank

She clearly mentioned in the show that she "had" a dog. It probably died like most dog do. Try to pay attention to the show every once in a while

He definitely was talking to an invisible entity

Excellent defense- someone point by point demolishes your entire argument and here's the response "The questions I mentioned were deliberately stupid on purpose to make your life easier, you wouldn't be able to handle the awesomness if I actually asked real questions. Infact I just wasted 10 minutes of my life asking…

Dog, please don't bother wasting your time answering inane rhetorical questions. Either some people don't have the intellectual capacity to handle above average tv or are just acting a fool on the internet. Either way no point engaging ;) The world needs people of all varieties, otherwise who would make Teenage Mutant…

Damn you Miles for posting that scene from "The End" and making me cry

Why not? TV and movies are littered with stories that are terrified of the audience not having the answer and not getting what they want. Why not commend the man for giving us something different? There are 100s of Jerry Bruckheimers, Dick Wolfs and Chuck Lorres, what's wrong with having one Damon Lindelof who is…

I'm not sure what you mean. When Twin Peaks originally came out it was marketed in the typical way network tv seriazlized shows are with promises of answers and resolution which never came (and I don't think that was a bad thing). Ironically that show literally changed the entire direction of where it was going based…

I have no idea what point you're trying to make. I think you need to lookup what a MacGuffin actually is and then compare it to the context you're using it in. The polar bear by definition cannot be a MacGuffin as it was always on the periphery of the show appeared in perhaps a grand total of 10 scenes across a 120…

Your entire post was just a rant about the lack of answers, the number of mysteries and the baffling nature of the show. Just because you preface it with some obligatory Lynch praise doesn't mean people are going to ignore the rest of your post.

Actually, funny you mentioned Twin Peaks. I have seen virtually the exact same comments directed at Twin Peaks as what the OP posted about The Leftovers

This show is not for the simple. If someone still doesn't understand the answers to the polar bear or the hatch then that means one of two things 1) they never watched LOST and jumping on the hate bandwagon so as to feel part of something 2) they are too stupid or simple minded to understand two questions that were…

After this episode I'm convinced that Holy Wayne has some kind of magic. They are pushing the "he's a fraud" thing with multiple asian girls way too much for it to be true. Clearly he is doing something right with what that doofus who was protecting the other asian girl said. While I'm not 100% convinced, I think…

The ratings are pretty solid. Doing better than Newsroon, Veep, Silicon Valley, Tell me you love me, Big Love, Treme and a lot of stuff on HBO that gets renewed all the time. I think if the show doesn't get renewed it will come down to some CEO personally having a distaste for the show.

waahhhha waaahhh waahhhhh. Me want answers!!!!! Me want answers RIGHT NOW

Pay attention to the show for a second. This is not hard stuff to follow

Yes obviously you are an authority on all parties. Clearly it is impossible to conceive of a party taking a turn that you PERSONALLY haven't experienced at the "professional conferences you've been to".

I have just realized that I'm looking forward to Season 2. It seems that stuff that is original to the show is a step above the stuff that is in the books (not that I am looking down on the book stuff, that is great too). I have not read the book but from what I have read the Christopher Ecclestone episode was all new…
