I'm positive I'm missing dozens more questions. But I'm just never watching anything from Lindelof again.

but dude, its about the journey lmao
Adam Sanchez
we all fell for a meme
Jason Diaz
Totally forgot about the demon thing.
How about: >kevin spends years and any money and vacation time searching for the one woman he loves >his ex wife that lives down the street from him knows where she is the entire time
Laurie is the most dishonest and awful person in the show. Between abandoning her family to being outright cunty (that whistle scene) to anyone and everyone and then marrying the nigger that murdered her husband there is simply no lower character.

>what caused the departure? It was definitely something "sci-fi" and not something religious/supernatural. >what was happening with the dogs? The dogs probably picked up on something strange happening and went nuts. >what was going on with wayne? Probably a con-man, possibly some weird connection with the ones responsible for the depature >what was going on with the magic babies? Nothing, he just had a shitload of offspring. Some men are into creating a dynasty. >why did kevin's kid fall into a cult in the first place? You mean the mother? Explained by her fetus' departure >why was kevin some kinda jesus? No, thats a massive red herring >what was the deal with the nat geo magazine? Never revealed, but probably something to do with the departure. >what about kevin sr's voices? Same as with Kevin. >was the GR endgame really to end the world?

I made up my mind what the depature was, but it obviously is hard to make every single detail work with the theory.
My question that always bugs me is:
>Who were those people who ask Kevin "are you ready?" when hes out running the morning of the departure, just before the pothole explodes
Ian Long
Do we really need a reason to shoot those beasts known as dogs Best part of the series
Jaxon Murphy
you got lindelof'ed
stop watching his shows
Lucas Turner
I also just realized that if Nora is telling the truth at the end. Then that means that when the departure happened Laurie's unborn fetus just materialized on an examination table in the other world.
Adam Morgan
Yup. Not only that, but every single child/baby/fetus departure without an adult probably starved to death.

I'm reading interviews with him right now and I'm just realizing he has been involved in all this shit I have hated and I never knew it. Like fucking interstellar. God damn that fucking bookcase scene. And God damn this smug bald faggot.

well, sunday did tell old kevin there was no rain stopping song
Brandon Stewart
>what caused the departure?
who knows
>what was happening with the dogs?
they went feral without their owners
>what was going on with wayne?
he was a fraud, he just did it to bang chinnese chicks
>what was going on with the magic babies?
????
>why did kevin's kid fall into a cult in the first place?
>how did eevee get influenced into the GR if they couldn't pray on her pain?
Purpose
>what happened to the c4 if there was any?
Red herring
>how is the travel machine not a bigger deal?
Because it was clealy a scam
>it doubles the amount of everything that exists in the entire universe and
????
>how did kevin have the willpower to not bang his daughter's friend?

>first season is based on a novel by a legit good writer and follows it very closely >seasons two and three are Lindelof OC
makes you think
Brody Clark
yeah im mad, this show just tricks you into thinking something just might be good, when something goes to shit, it invents new "magical thing" that gets things going but eventually nothing leads anywhere and they just make shit up as they go till it ends and nothing makes sense. never watch thsi shit.
Charles Jackson
i know you think you're being smug and a smart ass but you really arent thanks for the magazine link tho
Dominic Stewart
Mediocre and boring series
Nathan Watson
I started season 2 today, Christ why is the country music opening so shit compared to the first season intro?
Easton Rogers
all the questions can be explained with this >we made LOST 2.0 but after realizing people didn't like the answers on lost we decided not to answer question and LET THE MYSTERY BE because muh ambiguity is so deep omg best show of the century people will eat that shit up
LOST > The Leftovers
Dominic Ward
Just turn off your brain bro! Epic scenery and sad feels music!
Eli Mitchell
I find the character's struggle with mental illness or depression and general atmosphere of the show more interesting than the music or the feels.
Jordan Wright
Yeah, I much prefer a show where every single detail has to be literally spelled out to the audience, because retards dont like being made to feel like retards.
God forbid someone writes something ambiguous.
Nolan Ward
>what caused the departure? Literally the one question that was mean to be unanswered, and that was the point. There is no closure for these characters and there never can be because they don't know what happened.
>what was happening with the dogs? They went feral cause of the departure.
>what was going on with wayne? Literally nothing special. He was a charismatic con-man. We see his "healing hug" on Nora didn't work after all.
>what was going on with the magic babies? Again, con-man
>why did kevin's kid fall into a cult in the first place? Kevin's kid is the biggest fucking pussy in the show. He fell in with Wayne and later the departure because they offered him existential purpose. He was looking for meaning and a sense of belonging the whole time.
>why was kevin some kinda jesus? Shaman
>what happened with his bible? It was bullshit
>what was the deal with the nat geo magazine? Kevin's dad is literally crazy. Schizo.
>what about kevin sr's voices? Crazy
>what happened to kevin sr at the end? He old.
>was the GR endgame really to end the world? The GR just wanted people to feel bad because they were convinced the world HAD already ended. They believed it was an impossibility to move on from the departure and no one should try.
>how did eevee get influenced into the GR if they couldn't pray on her pain? She had pain. Her father getting incarcerated caused it. Hence her brother's "we are not spared" speech. Even if they didn't lose anyone in the departure, people still experience pain.
>what happened to the c4 if there was any? There never was any. That was misdirection and a bluff by Liv Tyler
>how is the travel machine not a bigger deal? It's a fraud
Nolan Ortiz
Also, why are Lindelof fans too stupid to figure out that both his OC seasons are beat by beat repeats of the first? Hell, they all even end the exact same way, with Kevin coming home to Nora.
Caleb Gonzalez
nice to see most of the leftovers shills are gone and everyone seems to hate it now
Owen Green
>board full of pol inbred trailer trash has the worst, least educated opinions anywhere
Surprise surprise. I guarantee almost everyone here too dumb to love this 10/10 masterpiece show is an alt right mouth breather.
Jonathan Ortiz
why did the GR get droned again.
Benjamin Sanders
we learn at the very end that she just let the dude search for years and years... we didn't have a few episodes to process how fucked up that is. just watch someone burn his whole life up , don't mention it to the concerned party.
Matthew Sanders
>>what caused the departure? Doesn't matter, but probably a random surge of Denziger radiation >>what was happening with the dogs? They went feral. >>what was going on with wayne? He was running a scam but may have had an actual gift he was exploiting. >>what was going on with the magic babies? They weren't magic. >>why did kevin's kid fall into a cult in the first place? Lori left and he felt the need to bail. >>why was kevin some kinda jesus? Some kinda. >>what happened with his bible? Probably on a shelf at the baptist church. >>what was the deal with the nat geo magazine? Items from the magazine kept turning up in relevant places, and Kevin Sr's pareidolia picked up on it. >>what about kevin sr's voices? People hear voices sometimes. >>what happened to kevin sr at the end? He was a grizzled old man still, Jr mentioned him. >>was the GR endgame really to end the world? No, their intention was to keep the world bummed about the departure because in their view there was no getting over it. >>how did eevee get influenced into the GR if they couldn't pray on her pain? She turned bleak and emo on her own. >>what happened to the c4 if there was any? There wasn't. >>how is the travel machine not a bigger deal? Nora's a self-centered cunt that didn't even consider telling either worlds they could cross through. She found her own closure and didn't care about the implications for everyone else. >>it doubles the amount of everything that exists in the entire universe The machine didn't do that, something doubled the universe and the machine bridged the two. >>how did kevin have the willpower to not bang his daughter's friend? He might have.
>>the MIT research on the departure >>the research made by those scientists who believe Nora has a demon inside of her The world was full of people looking for explanations, Nora was intimately tied to that. >>those 4 women in the car asking Kevin if he is ready They thought he was someone else.

Caleb Kelly
ayy remember that departed retard from season 1 I wonder what he's doing now.
Zachary Torres
The other side is Mad Max world so he's probably got a midget riding him now. Also Lori's fetus must have randomly materialized on the examination bed, the crying baby ended up alone in that car for a while, etc.

Did you people really believe nora's bullshit ? Kevin, is that you ? She didnt go through retards that shit doesnt work it just kills people
Jayden Collins
ambiguity doesn't mean there is no answer at all
Cameron Bennett
They essentially burned down a town and caused a riot. If not themselves directly they did totally instigate it.
Jace Kelly
it was also never explored the hint that the departed were being regretted at the exact moment of the departure I think it was in season 2 or 1. Nora regretted having her family so they disappearred, Laurie regretted having her baby so it disappeared, Kevin regretted the woman he was gonna have sex with so she disappeared, the woman in the car regretted having her baby so it disappeared, the retard was probably a burden to the old folks so it disappeared.
Carter Wood
I caught that too but it was yet another thing that didn't go anywhere. I'm not sure if that's more lazy or just plain unfair for the viewer.
Also I just read that Lindelof liked the ending to Sopranos. So double fuck him.
Christopher Murphy
it did go somewhere: i just took the whole thing as being a meditation on grief. pretty first degree but it is what it is imo. also had the "i got somewhat bamboozled in a Lost style" in the end but all and all it did an ok job on a topic that is difficult and hard to sell.
