HBO: † "The Leftovers" Series Discussion...†

[Master Zik]

IIRC the members gave up some money to the GR and one of the members or OG founders is rich.

All jokes aside, I don't get the point of her doing that then just dipping on him. Any insight to her reasoning for doing that, rather than just dousing him with the gasoline from the jump?

I took it as psychological torment type deal

It almost felt like Tom was gonna go back to the GR as a real member. He told his mom "they know something" implying that he wanted to return even after they roughed him up

Guess not though since he's trying to play Wayne now

 

[hand2handking]

the members of the gr have to give their earthly possessions/money when they join

my question is where did the mom get money from?

I thought he did tell Laurie he was going back after he asked her about Meg.

Then she went to jail and when he got her out and they were in the car they came up with the new plan.

Youre correct he was going back at least thats whatbit seemed like.

 

[hand2handking]

how was he gonna go back when his cover was blown tho? 

like the gr know who he is and what he was trying to do now

We dont know that much since it dodnt happen and wont now.

But they were on to the scheme already which is how the whole incident came about after he laughed and said they dont communicate.


Meg should have just sent a message and let the dudes beat him up or something. GR aint about that life.

My assumption for the money is pawning possessions and the departure insurance money (what Nora did for work)


I dont even wanna know how bad those houses smell with all that chain smoking.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Gotta wonder how them yams felt raw. Hopefully she wasn't all dry

 

[hand2handking]

i think her stunt was just a demonstration of life and death essentially

like you dont really feel more "alive" than when your in the *****

and i guess burning alive would be the "death" equivalent of that

since the gr whole point is that nothing really means anything anymore, then i guess the point was to show that tom himself is meaningless

like you can be "alive" or "dead" just that quick

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I thought it was interesting how Liv Tyler spoke though

 

[frank mucus]

She slept her to the top as a boss. Thats why she can talk. No one is going to question those yambs

 

[hymen man]

Tom a fool.

Meg though..

 

[a-friend]

Meg had that oversized landing strip just marinating that middle too.
She struck me as a full on bush kind of sport, unleash that beast girl, let the sides grow, I need it sticking out the sides of the panties man

 

[quise2024]

It was perfect in the see thru draws


The head of each house can speak so sleeping her way to the .. well we dont know.

I wonder how many big as orgies are happening in thr GR houses

 

[nawghtyhare]

So essentially is Laurie doing the same thing the people in white were doing
When she had her son tell the story
It seems like they gonna latch onto him
And instead of helping them inadvertently create another cult

This season is getting good but damn still no story progression past that first episode

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I really wish they weren't just stealing Wayne's idea for the new cult. I don't mind them starting one but the premise is unoriginal and not interesting after Wayne did it first

Yeah i agree if thats what the plan is then its headed that way and she will not be benefiting those people at all maybe hurt them even worse


Yeah at this rate season 2 will need 20 episodes for something to unfoil

 

[hand2handking]

its not about who did it first, its who did it better 

tom might actually help ppl besides young asian girls and senators

 

[Master Zik]

Does it have to be original though?

I mean if Tom has Wayne's power now or is just deciding to lie about it and run with that it makes sense to use the same game plan for starting a cult. In a sense it's not even new, just picking up with a new Wayne as leader. Only difference is they're clearly against the GR.

 

[quise2024]

So i wonder what happened to the baby of Waynes that was actually a boy?

Remember in EP1 he was telling Tom Christine is soecial and protect her, God spoke to him about his son and all this other stuff. Well Christine had a girl wonder what the other chick had?

Were they the only 2 to escape the compound, everyone else was gettin shot up

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I meant from a storyline/plot perspective. Just my opinion I found the storyline interesting season 1 but to have to go through it again season 2.. Meh

Outside of the Departure, I am hoping that no other magical angle will become a plot device. The earthquake and the hugs I don't consider mystical yet

 

[ricardo malta]

Regarding Austalia, there's a scene in the last episode where the TV is on in the background and the news reporter is heard talking about a man who came back from the other side and resides outside of Perth, Australia.

Really intrigued about this Australia connection now. And next episode ol' boy ready to put the paws on Kevin

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Australia gotta be the next big storyline if not this season then to start the next

I'm totally down with them picking up the Hug stuff. 

Why start over when he was a part of it.

He was more than just a soldier in that group, he was made. I would have done the same thing, it's already built
