As to "straining credibility" the writers and producers of The Leftovers obviously don't give a damn about that. The entire show is raddled with incredible stuff, so I don't find that a credible argument. I can't imagine why Laurie would have committed suicide at that point in the narrative, but that certainly…

I'm not sure I could identify what the point of the entire show was. Maybe you'd be willing to reveal it to me?

I expected it to be comprehensible at some level, but it isn't. It's just a bunch of random story lines grafted together. Lindelof doesn't do comprehensible.

I definitely thought she was committing suicide when I saw the episode. It's not credible to me that she was still alive, let alone that she didn't tell Kevin that Nora was still alive. But the thing is, we can't be sure of any of this, because the writers were being deliberately ambiguous throughout the entire…

Agree.

I didn't find that believable either. But then, not much in this series was believable.

Yeah, well, she'd been suffering more. She struggled with the departure longer than anybody.

I agree. I read one review that said Carrie Coon carried this show, but I'm pretty sure Jason Theroux more than pulled his weight.

That's true. The automatic door will never open for her on Fargo.

Sure, but that doesn't tell us where they go.

Yes, and it's remarkable, compared to how many times it's resorted to, how few times it's anything but a cop out. No resolution necessary because, "I woke up."

True, but there is a myriad of other occurrences in the series which demanded explanation, none of which were ever explained. Take Kevin's suicide attempt at the pond. Why was he trying to kill himself? I have no idea. How about you? What was going on with Holy Wayne? Did his hugs really relieve the existential…

The various incidents which took place in the series appeared to be narrated from some perspective. However, the perspective failed utterly to resolve the basic inconsistencies such as the other world visited by Kevin during his two deaths vs. the one visited by Nora during her journey. I think there are many other…

Lindelof is great at telling a story. He knows exactly how to pace drama and how to do the boring parts. He's good at painting the characters and making them relatable. But I find his work ultimately unsatisfying. He keeps intimating throughout that he's going to explain everything. It's a confidence that goes…

Wow. This is some of the worst writing I've come across in a long time. Rowan Kaiser, hang it up. Go take up sculpture, or something.
