TV is Awesome Podcast: The Leftovers S2E7 Discussion... A Most Powerful Adversary aka Lori at The Gate

 

When you Google this episode, the description reads: Nora has some news for Kevin and Jill, Laurie makes a rash decision, Kevin explores his options to tackle a problem. 

*shocked face emoji* 

*understatement emoji* (if there is such a thing)

I mean... do we just leave it at this and let you be shocked, SHOCKED, dear listener? I say yes, but will leave you with the fact that I counted no less than 5 shocked faces in my notes and many, many more exclamation points than that. I think Ken had just as many! Let's just say WE LEARN SOME THINGS. 

Lori at The Gate is the name of our band

Listen to Ken and Lisa discuss Kevin, Jill and Nora just letting all their secrets out, adopt a baby, sell a house, rent a house, buy a house, be... happy? for maybe one split second? And then Kevin wakes up at the bottom of a drained quarry and TOUCHES THE CAR. Oh, and Patti....

All this and some Pixies music to let us know Kevin might be losing his mind *shrug emoji*

But here in Miracle they are not ignored so much as just covered over, but with clear plexi. *shrug emoji* Listen to Ken and Lisa discuss this new setting and our new friends Evie, Michael, Erica and (frenemy?) John... and how much we LOVE REGINA KING. What's up with lady in wedding dress? What's up with goat killer? What's up with bird in box? Girls running in woods? Burning houses down?

TV is Awesome Podcast: The Leftovers Season 1 Finale Discussion, a.k.a The Big Kahuna of Episodes!

 

Here it is... what we've been working up to all season long: where everything works out great and everyone is so happy! What the Guilty Remnant do is a gut punch (and also a face punch and probably a groin punch) and causes a civil war in Mapleton, Jill almost dies, Kevin saves the day, Nora is going to end it all but then finds a baby... and all of this happens AFTER Matt helps Kevin bury a body and Holy Wayne grants Kevin a wish before dying in a diner bathroom stall. 

What we're saying here is... a LOT happens.
