We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, and now it’s time to say a very fond farewell and goodbye to the greatest television show I’ve ever seen, HBO’s The Leftovers.  After we ponder things we’ve seen and read since the series left us, we open up our bulging mailbag to see the multitudes of takes and opinions from you, our fellow fans.  Thanks for everything, everybody.  This was incredible, and I wish I could see you next week for more of the same. If you’re interested in reading some of the many things we’ve looked at since last week, Vulture has an incredible collection of articles and interviews, but this piece in particular was an exhaustive behind the scenes look of the finale of The Leftovers.  As far as interviews, Alan Sepinwall did a bang up job of talking with Carrie Coon, Mimi Leder, and Damon Lindelof himself.

Jim, A.Ron, and hundreds of listeners grapple with their feelings about the series finale of HBO’s The Leftovers, “The Book of Nora”.  Was it good because it was a work of art that was brilliantly written, expertly acted and shot, and in it’s rigid adherence to ambiguity the most Leftovers The Leftovers of all time?  Or was it bad because it answered nothing, or everything, or too much at any rate, or betrayed or gave short shrift to characters we cared deeply about, or invalidated what we felt about past episodes?  The answer, more than usual, rests with the viewer, and everybody’s got thoughts.  We try to capture as many as we can.  But we also promise to return next week for more!  One final podcast before we say goodbye to The Leftovers, forever.  If that’s not worth of a Max Richter soundtrack, what the hell is? PLEASE TAKE OUR SURVEY!  It will help us plot the future of Bald Move!

We are incredibly pleased with the penultimate episode of HBO’s The Leftovers, “The Most Powerful Man in the World (and His Identical Twin Brother)”.  It is true that this episode is ridiculous, and dumb, and it doesn’t make any sense, and we shouldn’t care so much about, much like the reaction of Kevin himself.  But we can’t help it.  Everything they were selling we were buying, and in bulk.  Dick jokes.  Sure.  Body swapping between twin Kevins?  Why not?  Surprise guest stars as Secretary of Defense and the Vice President?  Shut up and take my money!  It’s crazy how this show can do no wrong with us, but we suspect it’s because this show can’t help but be true to their characters and find an emotional truth at the core of it that manages to surprise and delight us.  Can’t wait for the finale next week!  See you there… Support Bald Move:  Club Bald Move Leave Us A Review Join the discussion:  Email  |  Forums  |  Facebook  |  Twitter   Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim and A.Ron talk about the latest episode of The Leftovers, “Certified”.  A very dark, powerful episode that has us rethinking how much sunshine and good feelings the finale is going to allow us to have before everything is said and done.  We discuss when Laurie decided on her final course of action, Nora’s beach ball metaphor, the inability of Kevin Sr. to properly judge whether he ends up saving the world, and our thoughts and expectations for the end now that we’re only 2 episodes away.  Because happy ending or sad, we’re going to be forced to say goodbye to all these characters we’ve grown to love and care for, and I for one am not ready!
