Sci-Fi TV Podcast - Twin Peaks

    We're very pleased to welcome back Karen from The Walking DeadCast and Wayne from The Packers Fan Podcast to discuss Season 2 of 'The Leftovers'. Questions to consider:  What did you think of this dramatic departure in location and characters for Season 2 Would you want to live in Jarden/Miracle? Favorite Scenes? Favorite Character? How about the brilliant music score, and repeated themes, in both seasons? Is Patti really gone? Predictions for Season 3? Who is David Burton? What’s the connection to Australia? Virgil (Shoot Patti) vs. Kevin Sr. (throw Patti down the well), how are Virgil and Kevin Sr. related? Predictions for Season 3?    “While worldwide flooding is expected, we should be taking off before the rain begins,” “In the event of cabin decompression, place your oxygen masks over your mouths as we all prepare to take our last breaths. Please be sure to keep your seatbelt fastened, as everything you know and love will soon be gone. Flight Attendants: Please prepare for Final Departure”   Rem’s Points:  Jarden seems to have become a beneficiary and a hostage to the Departure (They derive a big benefit from Tourism, but are now a walled off park where people tend to repeat even mundane events, thinking they’re preventing another departure)  (When the prisoner is released, the jailer also goes free)   Also, if Evi’s disappearance is really a departure, would that mean that Jarden was no longer saved?    Bold moves, the intro at Axis Munde, introducing the Murphy’s in a new location Foreshadowing of David Burton, Evie and the girls were secretly part of the GR Lori goes from being part of the GR to trying to destroy them Seems to be a power triad between Patti, Virgil and Kevin Sr., but who really has the power?    Extro For a real deep dive into each episode, I suggest you subscribe to Jim and A-Ron’s Podcast called ‘Following the Leftovers’ over on the Bald Move Network.  They go into much more depth and detail on each episode, and you’ve still got time to go through their podcast before Season 3 of The Leftovers starts on Sunday, April 16th. Find them at BaldMove.com   The Walking Dead ‘Cast with Karen and Jason, where can we find you and Jason?

I was looking at purpose here or just pure chance? A bit 2001 with the classical music Very bold move! Not until the piano kicks in five minutes later do we even know that this is the leftovers Evie meets Dr. good heart who has an Australian accent Evie and the girls are silence in the car, one of the small signs we never realize that they're part of the guilty remnant (Great foreshadowing) The Murphy family seems pretty normal at first There's a cricket in the house! Crack in the road is part of the tour, as is the woman in the wedding dress Some dude is living at the top of the concrete tower Letter for David Burton in Sydney Australia We’re introduced to ‘Miracle’, Texas home of the city of Jarden, where no departures ever happened Michael is selling holy water by donation John goes to see Isaac, who does readings by hand print John asks Isaac for a reading, but Isaac sees some bad stuff Evie is in the choir, and Jordan has its own theme song Girls run naked in the forest John is on the fire department, and they torch Isaac's house Erica goes running and digs up a bird from a box in the ground, and it is still alive Michael delivers a sermon, and Matt and Mary have already come to Miracle Matt's story about Mary is interrupted by the priest, weird looks abound Dude brings a goat into a restaurant and cuts its throat Perfect strangers cast member fakes his own departure Kevin very cautiously put his hand down the drain Michael goes to see the old man, and we see that miracle is walled off with security, guards and spotlights Jon finds a pie at the door just as Kevin Nora and Jill arrive next-door John introduces himself to Nora, gives them a pie Nice barbeque John thinks that Kevin is not being truthful with them John was in prison for attempted murder The cake comes out and Evie has a seizure Earthquake in the middle of the lights, and they realize Evie is gone John and Michael find the car at the quarry, walked in music playing Water is drained out of the river Cricket chirps     Episode 2 (A Matter of Geography)    This is the other side of the Garvey’s move to Jarden, focusing on Kevin, Nora and Jill They’re planning to keep the baby Big confessions: Kevin tells them about Patti, and walking in his sleep, Nora hires hookers, Fast forward 2 months, Kevin doing laundry and Lily is crying like crazy, he’s got earbuds in! Kevin and Nora go to a custody hearing, and they get offered another baby ‘Where is my mind?’ is playing for Kevin Fixing washer, buys shovel and digs up Patti, gets pulled over by cop intentionally and confesses about Patti All this honesty seems to be really good for Jill, she visits with Tommy Tommy is with Lori Nora is offered 2.7 Million for her house, MIT wants to research her house because of its anomalous nature MIT thinks Geography is a factor, and Nora could have departed if she was sitting at the table instead Cop questions Kevin about Patti’s death, and the cop seemed very eager to close the case Kevin gets his first visit from Patti Kevin Sr. was released and is planning to go to Australia They move to Jarden (Miracle National Park) Dogs need to be quarantined Kevin meets old man, who invites Kevin to come see him ‘about his situation’ The house they planned to rent had burned down, was it the one John burned down?

Matt and Mary try to get back in, and John refuses to help them (John refuses to believe Mary woke up, miracles don’t happen in Jarden) Matt and Mary have to go through the camp ordeal to try to get back into Miracle Matt sees a guy in stocks Nora sneaks Matt and Mary in the back of their car They come upon a car accident where the two people who attacked him crashed, takes the man’s wrist band, but won’t take the kids.  They get Mary home, Matt goes back out to the camp and takes the man’s place in the stocks    Episode 6 (Lense)    Researcher goes to Miracle to explore the departure, goes to Evie’s house and then Nora’s house.

We’re doing two catch you up episodes to refresh you for the 3rd and final season which begins Sunday April 16th on HBO. We’ll spoil everything in season 1, but not season 2, so you have a chance to catch up on season 2 before we do our next episode.   Might be a bit of language here too,    Questions to consider: What first got you watching The Leftovers? The Damon Lindelof factor (Lost!) Will we ever know the reason for the departure? What else is coming? Favorite Scene? Favorite Character? What other unanswered questions do you have?  Dean the dog shooter. Angel? What’s with his truck? What does Kevin and Kevin Sr. have specifically? Is it that they’re resisting spiritual guidance?  Did the GR use real bodies or mannequins?   Thanks to Karen and Wayne for joining us, and we’ll be back with a look at season 2 in early March as we make our way to the third and final episode of The Leftovers.  Get all the show notes, video clips and more on the website at Sci-Fi TV Podcast.com    ====================================================================   Episode 1 (Pilot)     Tunefind.com That song! “Retrograde” by James Blake   Kevin and his up in the laundromat with a crying baby in season two like the woman did at the beginning of season one - Jill might act out less if Kevin actually told her what he was feeling and going through.  She acts out because she's not being included or talked to. (Kevin won't tell her not to go to the Memorial) - What so obviously seems like the Christian rapture is being denied by Matt the Priest Tom reading ‘The stranger, by Albert Camus lots of quick jarring cuts gives you the sense that there's tension and immediate danger just under the surface    Empty picture frames  - The kids have lost all sense of meaning and purpose, and have become hedonistic.  Dogs, Deer and assorted animals. Kevin keeps waking up on the floor Tommy screaming under water Dog shooter at end, 'don’t just stand there'. What caused the dogs to go crazy?  Matt as the Job of the Bible   Episode 2 (Penguins one, us zero)  Did Dean the dog shooter just give the black pickup truck to Kevin? Can't reconcile the black truck and how Dean would just give it to him Chopping down the tree,  is that to demonstrate the nature of futility?

Lori tries to get light from gutter    Episode 5 (Gladys)   Gladys seems to be agreeing to something with Patty Gladys and another GR walked past a man who has fallen, they offer no help Gladys is kidnapped, strapped to a tree, and stoned to death One of the hardest death scenes of any TV show to watch Then Dean shoots some dogs?
