The Leftovers Season 2 Episode 3...Back in Business

           Well now we know what's going on with Tommy and Laurie...Here are my thoughts on The Leftover's episode 3...

Drums, Bird Man Style:

When those drums played at the beginning, I thought I was getting PTSD from Birdman or somethin. But they served as the perfect contrast between the new spring in Laurie's step and the Guilty Remnant's silence. Nowhere were these drums better applied than during Laurie's mission to take back her computer...

Where Is My Mind?:

Yet another auditory observation. This is now the second time this song has been played this season. The first was played to the scene of Kevin digging up Patty. This new piano version serves as Laurie's theme. I vote for this song to make a final appearance...

I'm Liking This Non Linear Story Telling Stuff:

The first part of this episode proved to be somewhat of a flash back. We got to see what Laurie and Tommy's experience's have been leading up to the meeting with Jill. These non linear episode's are

The Leftovers: Season 2 Episode 2...What's Going On Here?

           Episode 2 was a mix of old, new, and creepy. We pick up right at the end of season one, with the discovery of Holy Wayne's baby. From there Kevin, Jill, and Norah travel to the super hard to visit town of Miracle, where the plot catches up with the premiere episode. Oh, and it wouldn't be The Leftovers without Patty hallucinations and random moments of Kevin staring off into space.


Geography? What The Heck?:


According to the students who bought Norah's house, geography had something to do with those who disappeared during the departure. This information didn't really help much (that student could have said the departure was a matter of pizza), what really got my attention was the possibility that the departure could happen again...

How Are Laurie And Tom Going To Effect Kevin's Story?:

This is more of a question than anything that came up in the episode... If Kevin is taking the family to the super guarded, hard to get to, mob run, house burning town of Miracle... then how might Laurie

The Leftovers Season 2 Premiere...I'm Already Confused

           Just when I think I've figured out the meaning of life, The Leftovers shows up to confuse me again. After a depressing (in a good way) and intriguing first season, The Leftovers is back to show us more of a world recovering from the disappearance of 2 million people. The show didn't exactly start off to a familiar tune, here are my thoughts on the premiere of season 2...

The Intro Theme...:

...has been replaced. Which sucks because I actually liked the original one. I wasn't thrilled with the song either. Thats really all I have to say about it...

The Dawn Of Man:

I definitely didn't expect the show to start this way. When that woman first got up from her campfire, I thought we'd witness an ancient

'The Walking Dead'...S6E2...Wolves!

           Episode 2 was pretty intense, I'll just get to it... Here are my thoughts on the latest Walking Dead...        

1. The Wolves Attack, Holy Crap:

This is exactly the kind of thing I needed to keep this show interesting. The attack on Alexandria came out of nowhere and greatly changed the shows pace. While it was the best part of the episode, I'm actually a bit
torn...here's why... the violence. Actually, violence would probably be an understatement... it was down right gory. Don't get me wrong this show has always had plenty of that. What caught my attention this episode was that the violence was practically all human on human. I mean, we straight up saw the wolves cutting peoples limbs off... and dead humans get a knife to the head the same way I casually swipe my debit card. This begs the question... Is this show getting so
