That opening scene was just perfect. It almost made me like Donovan's character. But I can only take so much of his cartoonish frown.

Simone is hitting all the right buttons for me. Specifically the one on my penis.

And conveniently placed hair!

Well, I'll say it. I'm not enjoying this season nearly as much as the last. Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic season of television, and visually even stronger than the first. But none of these characters hold a candle to Lester, Malvo, Molly or Gus. Which isn't to say there aren't great characters on this show,…

They weren't necessarily in Miracle. I took it that the car crash was very recent. If a wrecked car with a dead body had been sitting there till nightfall, someone would have noticed before the Garveys.

That would actually be awesome. Every time something goes Matt's way he ends up causing a larger problem

Considering ambiguity is the basis for the entire show, it seems unfair to call it bukkshit. This isn't a mystery show. It sounds like it's just not for you.

i think this all comes down to "people just don't give a shit anymore." That encampment? Nobody gives a shit. Yeah, probably against the law to have a man in stocks for days on end with no food.
As far as the wrist band thing, I believe it. Those government workers at the desk have heard Matt's excuse a billion times…

Ooh, very nice theory about "the boy" being the boy from the car wreck. Once again, this show refuses to give concrete answers and I love it.

Brilliant little moment: as Matt is scanning the commune he spots a man sitting on his patio next to one of the creepy Departed Dolls from the S1 finale. This show is so great at the little details.

My thinking is that he, along with his fire gang, are trying to stop a Guilty Remnant/Holy Wayne-type cult from forming.

I typically love the music direction, but I can't get on board with that Hey, Ever Think About This Whole God Thing? song.

Fargo is incredibly guilty of this as well. The first season was a little worse, but S2 still has far too many flashbacks to plot points. It's odd because both Leftovers and Fargo are the two shows that demand the most amount of trust from their viewers, yet with basic plot points they spell everything out.

I just sort of hate lyrics like that. It didn't fit into a rhyme scheme, even. Completely on the nose, surface level observations thrown in your face. The melody was nice, but the lyrics are SO painfully obvious (didn't strike me as earnest, more like she was really fucking proud of herself) and so bluntly tied into…

The Gospel According to Matt
Matt & Mary
Possible Rape, Definite Wheelchair

Yeah, it goes back to the two boats and a helicopter parable, right? Is he Job, enduring suffering inflicted upon him by God as a test? Or is he Jonah, blatantly ignoring God's will and getting punished?

Your argument is pretty juvenile for someone criticizing a fictional character's decision making and calling him a toddler.
"Pfft, Bruce Wayne is such a fucking idiot! If my parents got shot I wouldn't prance around in a bat costume!"

I really wonder if the show will reveal it. The one thing that struck me is Erika Murphy saying to Kevin that there were all these reports of miracles that weren't true. But I can't figure out if the Murphy's are just in denial about the miracles or they ACTUALLY aren't true.

Yeah, I mean it's still Texas right?
I guess it's possible that they literally dug a moat around this town, but it hasn't been stated.

Looks like a pretty good peen, too.
