wait okay. on the topic of people not enjoying the leftovers like i do. my friend's parents started it towards the end of january (per my recommendation of course) and i was getting very minimal updates from my friend. three weeks ago she texts and she's like "my dad is coming around to it but my mom still hates it. they're on season 3 btw" i'm like OKAYYYYYY HE'S COMING AROUND TO IT!!!!!!!!!! two days ago she texts me like "yea i think they've given up on it. my dad might finish it on his own but my mom didn't like it" so then i start wondering where in season 3 they left off. did they get to see _________? she checks the family hbo and they're on season two. episode nine.
EXCUSE ME?!?!?!?? U MEAN TO TELL ME YOU JUST WATCHED THE LEFTOVERS SEASON TWO EPISODE EIGHT "INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN" ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES OF TELEVISION TO EVER AIR AND YOU JUST. STOPPED??????
[person in the late 1700s voice] and just when are you going to end feudalism? the holy roman emperor will just send hundreds of thousands of troops to quell your rebellions. we aren't getting anywhere like this, and haven't you heard the monarchs are adopting enlightened ideas anyway? there have been no successful capitalist states, all of the attempts have turned into failures or have installed a new monarch
the leftovers is so good. i feel ur pain im trying to get my frienfs to watch it and we finished s1 and then everyone was like wow this show is so fucked up and we’re still taking a break bout it whixh is fair but. ugh god what a fantastic show
literally like.............. YES its a show about horrors but it is sooooo fucking good. all the characters are menaces constantly making the worst decisions they can and i LOOOOOOOVE THEM!!! I'LL CHEER THEM ON EVERY TIME!!!!! my friend definitely like season 1 the least (which. while i agree it's the weakest season like. i still love it. they could never make me hate you any season/episode of the leftovers ever) but we were also on a time crunch of 24 days (he left the country for an undetermined amount of time and i refused to watch online together) so he DID NOOOOOT get to take any breaks. I think the time crunch kinda hindered his enjoyment because i do think it's a show you want to sit with between episodes but alas 😔😔
being obsessed w a piece of media is so scary. what if my mutuals see how insane i go about it and think oh i gotta check out what this is about and then think it sucks and kill me with rocks. what if they hate my favorite characters
"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on
