Re: The Leftovers (HBO)
I dont really mind not getting answers, since Walking Dead never gives its answers and I dont lose sleep over it. I just dont see the longevity. It will get boring and cyclic very fast; imo of course. I'll watch up until that point.

Agreed. That's why I'm wondering if they'll add a wrinkle or something.

Even Walking Dead can be told in circles. But they add little wrinkles to keep the story feeling fresh.

I think The Leftovers will be like watching Sopranos. There's no overarching story. For the most part, in Sopranos you're watching Tony being Tony and living that life.

This is like scripted reality drama. If the characters are interesting, I'll stick around. If they aren't, I'll walk away.

I didn't actually enjoy the book. It was like reading about Spot the dog. Spot runs to the fire hydrant. Spot takes a piss. Spot goes back inside. Watch Spot do it again tomorrow.

Its got to be more than that though. I mean those people look miserable. Chain smoking seems more like a punishment than a pleasure. I'd only last about 30 seconds in that crazy house of theirs. They wouldn't have to worry about the rapture, I'd be taking those clowns down while that sat around and wrote on their paper, "What is he doing, oh no, ahhhhh!!!!!!"

Why don't they talk?

What was the deal with "STOP WASTING YOUR BREATH"?

See, most of my confusion stems from not having any idea who the hell those people were. Did I miss a scene where they were explained?

It should be explained later.
