Not up until this last episode did The Leftovers ever feel like Lost to me but while watching it on Sunday, I couldn't help be reminded of when Locke finally opened the hatch at the end of the show and without showing us what was inside it ended. Then as my anticipation throughout the week grew to see what was going to happen next episode, it was instead followed up with a back story of a far less interesting character.
Initially thats what i was afraid of however i ended up loving the episode as it gave me a ton of insight into all of the main characters, especially Lori. It was directed beautifully, allowing the characters to really tell the story, Scott Glen is just amazing in this show and i how they aged the daughter in combination with her performance, was just perfect. I hate that i have to wait two weeks before the finale but im stoked the show was picked up for a second season.
