The show’s brilliance is matched only by the oddness of it not being available in a decent box set. I rewatched it two or three months ago and wanted to get the whole thing on disc but they are weirdly difficult to find, particularly if you want to be consistent in format. Like I could get a combination of seasons on…

Is the internet ready to stop bitching and reevaluate Lindelof yet?

Its amazing, we’re still locking these people up and the guy who incited it is in line to retake the White House.

Good luck to him. For all that the commentariat love to shit on him (and I’m not wholly innocent here) for not being a Downey-Jr-level attention- magnet, I’ve never seen a film with him in it and thought either “he shouldn’t have been cast in this” or “this is not a good film”. Even the non-Bourne Bourne movie was…

You can bitch about Lindelof, but between Lost and Leftovers, he has like 6 of the best hours of TV ever.

Lindelof was so smart in the wake of Lost to have a show where the whole point is that there isn’t, and never will be, an explanation. I love how it critically and sympathetically examined our need for stories to frame and accept loss. In the end, it doesn’t matter if Nora’s story about her lost family is true, what…

That last episode of The Leftovers is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen. But it completely held my attention the whole time which is rare for a one hour show.

I almost forgot! Thank you for this, my anniversary rewatch will commence immediately

One of my top five shows of all time, and while it does get a lot of acclaim from the right places, I think it deserves even more - it really deserves to be on the same pedestal as Sopranos, The Wire, the BBverse, etc. Just beautiful television.

This show is an all time favorite of mine.  I have not brought myself to watch it again but I intend to do so.  What emotion and power.

The entire time I watched this show I kept asking myself “what IS this? What does any of this MEAN?” And then in the last 10 minutes when they finally reveal everything I screamed “THIS IS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN.”

They’ve been doing better lately.

There aren’t a lot of shows where the weakest episode is still better TV than almost anything else on contemporaneously but this show pulled it off. Carrie Coon is amazing and this for me is the best thing Eccleston has ever done. The finale wrecked me & I still think about it often.

“Where was Helaena this episode? We got one teeny glimpse at her as she passed Aegon on the stairs...”

Are you forgetting the funeral procession scene where she nearly has a public meltdown?

I read the scene as Otto being legitimately outraged by the murder of the ratcatchers. In his mind, they are civilians best left out of the game. But Otto understands that merely by existing, his great-grandson was a combatant in the big game, and thus was always vulnerable to assassination. Which is why he’s upset,…

My favorite show of all time; I’m currently in the middle of my fourth rewatch. I think the whole cast is top notch, but the characters of Nora and Pastor Matt, especially, are so beautifully written and acted, every single one of their scenes is riveting. Plus, that scene in the second season between Nora and Erika…

I think it’s an interesting reflection of how Alicent seems unable to comfort and emotionally parent her children - likely because this is how she herself was parented by Otto. She can see their suffering but has no idea how to relate to them, other than through further scheming. 

I FOUND EPISODE 2 OF NEW SEASON TO BE A SNOOZE-FEST. WAY TOO MUCH DIALOGUE & NOT ENOUGH ACTION. WE KNOW WHAT SIDE EVERYONE IS ON & I STRUGGLED TO STAY AWAKE. SURE HOPE IT GETS BETTER BECAUSE I’M NOT IMPRESSED. THE PACING IS AWFUL.

I’m going to set up shop as a Westerosi armorer and sell cotton t-shirts. So much more comfortable, and exactly as much protection!
