Joana’s Reviews > The Leftovers [TV Tie-in Edition] > Status Update

First thing, I really appreciate knowing more about Aimee, especially bc I really feel that the show dropped the ball with her at the end of s1, here we understand her place a bit better!!!

Secondly, I love getting more of the GR!!! It's way more casual & day-to-day but you understand it better, bc you're with Laurie at all times!!! Also need to know more about this gay couple - I need their backstory & reasoning!!!

They actually go to Florida in the books!!! And they’re entering the awkward stage, but it’s so different from the tension in the show!!!

These are the images from the season 2 intro!!! They took it from here, from the edits the GR did for their power points!!! YES!!! Such a good detail!!!

I think Nora and Kevin are actually happening in the book!!! I'm very curious!!! These two don't seem as fucked up as they do in the show, so I'm wondering how it will go, because in the show is very much freak recognizes freak, and here they're just dancing at the ball (which also finale feels!!!!)

This man sucks!!! We already knew that about Nora's husband, and the type of husband he is, but reading the email he left for the girl he was also sleeping with - "four stars"!!! It just also feels passive aggressive!!!

While I cannot picture Justin Theroux at all as this Kevin, I want Carrie Coon doing this Nora scenes so badly!!! I LOVE Nora here so much as well, and I would have loved to see her slight acting choices during these small moments!!!

Kevin’s mentality here about grief and remembrance makes a lot of sense to explain why the Guilty Remnant started popping up!!!

Kevin checking out Nora’s butt and I’m having feelings… but also the man is horny af, and his thoughts about Aimee are very inappropriate… also I cannot picture him as Justin Theroux, and I’m not a huge fan of him, but this Kevin is a dork!!!

Show!Matt is saying it wasn’t the Rapture because some of the people who disappeared were abusers, thieves and corrupt people, this fucking book!Matt is saying it wasn’t the Rapture bc the nice pediatrician doctor was bisexual - fuck off Matt

The book is finally here, instead of me reading other things and comparing it to the show!!! This is already giving me more of the world - I LOVED seeing Laurie post Departure - but also chapter 1 starting with global warming does 2% of population disappearing have a positive impact in the environment??
