Season 1 is good, but I thought season 2 was even better. Season one had a bunch of episodes that felt unfocused. Season 2 was always leading to something. I almost bailed on the show early, but I'm glad I stuck around.

So, season 3 premiere's tonight. Any advance thoughts, wishes or predictions?
CANNOT WAIT!!!
LOL I'm with ya!!! Appears the "Mysteries" will be somewhat religoous in nature, but I'm very okay with that. FWIW, I thought they would jump the "7 years" as listed in the Bible. Really looking forward to see what they (Lindelof, et al) have come up with. Whatever, the show really makes you think and I for one love that!!!
Got a feeling this will be a wild season!!!!
The end of the first episode left me :scared:
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Spoiler: 04-26-2017 03:49 PMStill ServantI gotta say, I loved the choice of theme music for the second episode. So unexpected.
I'm not sure how many people placed it, but it's the same theme music used for Perfect Strangers, one of my favorite sitcoms growing up. Cool stuff.
Then Mark Linn-Baker, the actual actor who played on Perfect Strangers, is actually on the show! WTF!!
I've had to edit this post so many times because my original comment was right after the credits. Anyway, I just finished the episode and I realized that the title of the episode is "Don't be Ridiculous" which was Balki's catch phrase. 04-26-2017 05:41 PMBev VincentThat's the third reference to Perfect Strangers in the series. 04-26-2017 06:39 PMStill ServantReally? Where were the others? I didn't catch them. 04-27-2017 02:35 AMBev VincentIn the first season, it was mentioned that the entire cast of Perfect Strangers had been taken. Then, during the second season, it was revealed that Mark Linn-Baker had faked his disappearance and was hiding out in Mexico. 04-27-2017 02:48 AMwebstar1000 04-27-2017 03:11 AMBev VincentAccording to Lindelof, it was organic and not planned at all. In fact, they were nervous about whether Linn-Baker had the dramatic chops to pull off the heavy scene.
The Leftovers showrunner explains that dramatic Perfect Strangers cameo 04-27-2017 03:29 AMwebstar1000 04-27-2017 03:55 AMBev VincentI don't think they knew where it was going from day one. I read that they hashed out the final scene of the third season during the hiatus and then built the episodes to get there. I don't think they even knew there was going to be a third season until the second season finished airing. 04-27-2017 04:01 AMwebstar1000 04-27-2017 04:20 AMBev Vincenti don't mind that they do things this way. I like the concept that they can react to things that happen and shift accordingly. If a character like Ben Linus can emerge and take on a new life, and the writers can react to that and the story goes in a different direction because of it--I like that possibility.
I certainly don't expect that we're going to get a concrete ending to Leftovers, either. This isn't a show about explanations but rather about dealing with the inexplicable. I have no idea how you wrap that up, but I'm along for the ride. 04-27-2017 04:34 AMwebstar1000 04-27-2017 06:29 AMStill Servant 05-17-2017 03:43 PMStill Servant"That's the guy I was telling you about."
Such a great line. I love how it's directed right at the camera. I think we are about to see a new man. 05-22-2017 06:20 PMzeligI'm loving this show. Season 1 was good, but Season 2 is ever better. It has me hooked. 05-26-2017 06:55 PMTravelinJackJust got all caught up on this show. Whew what a series. Hard to believe only two more episodes? First time in a long time I didn't want a series to end. This has been so well executed (written, directed, casted, and acted).
