Seriously, you are reading Gini ridiculously. How is she being a twat to men? Just because she fucks them and doesn't remember details of their life a year later? Her two main concerns are her children and the study (/Bill). Just because she fucks a dude doesn't mean she owes them anything. Doesn't matter how you…

I loved watching them laugh. Thought it was a great touch.

But your insights into what Lillian originally thought of Libby (that she is just climbing the ladder, using any guy who will help her), and then that judgment changing during their friendship, and then Gini lying to her, all that is part of the betrayal, too.

My interpretation was that she can't trust Gini anymore, so she also can't trust that Gini will carry on with her study past her death. It became clear to Lillian that Gini's priority was Bill, not her, necessarily leading to her decision.

I think that lying to ourselves (and possibly to others) in the face of desire is quite a normal thing. It can lead to very bad outcomes, the worst of which, to my mind, is perpetuating the delusion well past the end of desire. However I think that despite the deception, the living the lie, the embrace of a fiction…

How heartbreaking was it that Lillian's "mentor" basically didn't care about her at all? I wanted to personally punch that asshole in the face. And when Lillian opened up to Gini, but Gini couldn't do the same? That scene immediately left both women suddenly alone again, and it's tragic because they are both facing…

I actually feel her behavior is fairly obvious. She has no control over anything in her life, now that she's had the baby. Before giving birth, Libby could fantasize about how it would change her relationship with Bill, and Bill himself. That has not happened, and Bill is even further from her, given his intimate…

There are so many grammatical errors in this review that it truly bothered me. To the point where I was completely distracted. Are there no AV Club copy editors? This is not a critique of the author at all—I'm a professional editor, so I understand the role of a writer versus the role of an editor.

…

It bothers me with Kruger because it's more noticeable, and there is no explanation for it. No one from El Paso would ever sound like her. At least with Rhys he's secretly Russian, so I can forgive it. Also, he's adorable (okay, maybe I'm biased).

I'm still not sure, either. It's going to depend on how the show continues to approach these ideas, and whether or not it provides answers.

Yeah, so, I had the same fears, but I'd say go for it. If you really loved Lost, you'll probably like the style of the show. The acting is pretty good, and I'm intrigued by the characters and their reactions (we still have very little motivation for a lot of them, which is a problem, but one that I hope will be…

I also have to disagree about the Lost thing. I've seen the whole show and didn't get much out of it beyond the second season. I don't think these reviews need to have anything to do with that show in particular, and I hope to god the attention to detail on The Leftovers far surpasses Lost.

I'm optimistic after watching the first two episodes this season. The first season was sublime, just beautiful, but that kind of pace is unsustainable, I think. Unless every season only has 6 episodes. I think the Teddy/Tawney relationship is extremely well done, and the mystery surrounding what Daniel did or didn't…

This is disappointing. I like the guy so much, and his interview on The Nerdist was cute. I'll still watch it, but I was hoping it would get a better review.

I thought this was one of the strongest episodes of the season, which I mostly loved. The sex prep was hilarious, and I didn't mind the women's magazine headlines because they were so funny. "Hair down there? Kill yourself." Still makes me laugh. The inordinate amount of time spent applying deodorant, the fake…

I fully expected Malvo to be at the bar. I wasn't actively trying to predict what would happen next, my brain just went there. I can't help it.

I was wondering about that, too. We just saw his fly open, no penis. Unrealistic, I think.

I actually did a happy dance after that scene!

It's kind of a question of where to draw the line. Amia obviously decided to have sex with him because she wanted to, given her feelings for him. But should Louie have persisted after she tried to say no and leave? It's a tough call, but I think the fact that most people watching that scene were uncomfortable points…
