I do think that Watchmen was pretty well covered in the movie regardless, so shrug on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This sounds like a bad idea. And I'm not sure I trust Lindelof's instincts outside of smaller human dramas. Also doesn't help that I haven't really enjoyed anything else he's helped pen.

KK 3,307 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Judging from what I've read from the cast and crew, he had a fundamental part to play. He is a co-creator after all. But I'm sure it helped that he had Tom Perotta by his side to class things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Some ideas simply don't work as long form media. I can buy a mini-series of like 8 episodes, but an ongoing series with multiple seasons is overkill. If this ends up being great then I'll eat my hat.

Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I gave up after the first season, because the finale of that was already very drawn out. I guess they were told halfway through that they got to make another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the mythology, philosophy, and pathos in The Leftovers are refined from LOST. It’s very clearly Lindelof, especially after the first season, which is all original material. Perrotta’s book is covered in its entirety in season one. 8 minutes ago, Jurassic Shark said: I gave up after the first season, because the finale of that was already very drawn out. I guess they were told halfway through that they got to make another season. They did the best they could under the constraints of a bygone era of prime time network television. The show went on hiatus midway through Season 3 so they could negotiate an end date and write towards it instead of stretching it out as long as possible as instructed.

Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 A complete arc that could have been told in ten episodes without feeling rushed. Stretching that over 25 episodes is indeed not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Again, this was 2004. Seasons 4, 5, and 6 are 14-17 episodes each. All the non-plot episodes have essential character development. They didn’t waste the extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 A lot of the character development could have been done in later seasons, though. And the main story arc didn't have to be stretched out that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,647 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 To me, the mystery was always secondary to the human stories on Lost - an exciting framework for the rest of it. I guess why that's why I loved it until the end. It did sag a bit in season 3, but once they had a target, it really ended with laser focus. My spouse gave up on The Leftovers after the first episode, so as a result I gave up on The Leftovers after the first episode. I did like the pilot though. Checking Lindelof's Wikipedia entry, I loved most of the stuff I've seen of his, except for ST:ID which I thought was just OK. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, On 6/21/2017 at 8:53 AM, mstrox said: Prometheus is my favorite Alien movie. This trailer is too brief to give me a feel one way or the other on Watchmen, but we'll definitely check out at least the first episode.
