I thought the finale was going to leave so many stings untied it was going to leave me unsatisfied and feeling ripped off. That didn't happen. Pretty much every answer is given at the end, except why, but I'm feeling pretty good about the three season journey, even if you couldn't pay me to sit through the first season again for all the tea in china.… Expand

   Lost has shown pretty well that ambiguity, mysteriousness and unexplained conflicting phenomenons in a TV show are not likely to produce theLost has shown pretty well that ambiguity, mysteriousness and unexplained conflicting phenomenons in a TV show are not likely to produce the mind-splitting shock-and-awe plot twist at the end, where everything fits into the puzzle, but are actually symptoms of a disease you'll see far more often in TV series' writing: Kudzu plots.
   
   Kudzu plots can either show one writer who decentralizes or alembicates the story so much it becomes visibly strenuous to make it coagulate and have a point in the end (I'm looking at you, GRRM) and shoehorning appears towards the end of the story as the writer frantically attempts to tie all the loose ends in a meaningful manner, or, more of a TV-series disease, can show multiple writers all trying to pull the respective show under their own artistic view, alike a room of D&D; players all taking turns attempting to railroad the story. The problem of the Kudzu plot disease is that it is dishonest: the viewer starts the show with the impression that the people who built the show have a point to be made at the end, not that they'd strap themselves for a dip into the interesting idea pool, followed by a long period of just winging it and an embarrassing, anticlimactic finale. The producers love Kudzu plots because they keep the audience glued to their screen long enough that until they manage to realize the swindle three seasons have passed and the producers are already three money trains in profit, and because most writers can write a Kudzu plot; Most writers can create entangled messes, the solving of the entanglement is the actual brain-requiring part, and this is why shows who have been consistently good don't stray too much in too many directions - every line thrown has to be knotted back in somehow later.
   
   Introductions aside, The Leftovers exhibits all the symptoms of Kudzu plots. What about the sleepwalking cop? What about the Antichrist? What about the rapture? Strange things happen because? What about the cultists? The show makes no attempt into tying in any of these questions but each new step opens up new questions. The show's religious and magical "explanations" which are given off frugally are also a sign that the plots will most probably be ended by intellectual patches that will make the audience feel unsatisfied. You have been warned.… Expand
