The Leftovers Season 2 Episode 5

Religion is an arduous thing to explain.

How do they trust in a benevolent spirit when they only know pain and suffering?

This episode was beautiful, but in a completely devastating, draining way, if that makes sense.

But seeing Matts dedication and love for his wife even while performing thankless daily tasks is touching.

The camp is full of depraved characters and bizarre trials that push Matt almost into cruelty.

I will not hide, he tells his sister Nora.

We see Mary awake in this episode, but its right after a head injury and seems dreamlike.

Watching this episode was difficult, but like Matt, I believe this difficulty will lead to reward.

I couldnt tell you.
