One Easter egg I noticed, in the final episode Kevin mentions to Nora that he had a heart attack and had a pacemaker implanted, and he offers to show Nora the scar. In the second to last episode while Kevin is in the afterlife/other world/whatever, his "identical twin" has a scar from where they implanted the nuclear launch key, but his scar looks identical to a scar that you would get from a pacemaker implant.
this is not what a aster egg means bro. this is more of a cool paralel or a detail. not an inside joke or omage to something els
@@justlikeyourfathersaidwhat the fuck is an omage? You mean “hommage”? I don’t think you know that word bro…it’s a French word meaning “tribute”…
Amazing analysis and research for one of the best and most underrated serie ever.
Thanks and big Bravo from France
Thank you! Merci!
There is also the guy at the airport who wants to get to Antarctica, claiming that a nuclear event will occur. And as we know, it really does a bit later. Also, Cairo was mentioned many more times throughout the series, very interesting stuff. I'm sure we are still missing a lot of other stuff as well, it would take an insane amount of time to find all the little connections and references, which all make this kinda unerrated show that much more brilliant. Great video by the way, cheers!
Wasn't the note tucked into the National Geographic (episode 10) on a page with a map of Cairo and then soon afterwards, Cairo was mentioned, but as a town in the US?
WOW. Thanks for this video. It's amazing. I just finished watching this show and haven't feel I was watching a masterpiece since I watched Lost, 10 years ago. Thanks Damon Lindelof for creating this amazing series and to the rest people involved. I'll never forget this.
7:57 that was scary at 2 am... my god.
the best video issue I've ever seen in my life.
great job.
can you just please give us what are your plans
what are you planing to talk about in the coming days.
OMG. Thank you!
I'm currently working on the third and final part "The Psychology of Kevin". After that, I'd like to take a break from The Leftovers and focus on a different TV series as well as films in general. My hope is that I can produce at least one in-depth video per month!
I highly recommend you to do analysis or anything about westworld since its trend right now and its worth it
Season 2 might be the best season of any show.
Greetings from Australia. Just watched this show, thanks for making this.
Great video. Thank you for creating this, it is appreciated
woa, amazing!!!!
The Leftovers is one of those shows in which you can watch the entirety of the show multiple times but each time better than the last.
Thanks to The Leftovers, I have come to hate shows that try to explain everything to me.
Caldor3 I have definitely watched it at least 3 times all the way through. And occasionally I find myself in the mood to just watch like “international assassin” or “crazy whitefella thinking” or whatever. Probably the best series I’ve ever seen.
mola55e5 same dude, I bought the whole series on Blu-ray and I pop it in every couple of months and binge the whole thing
Talking about Re-watching it for the first time with my wife. Such an amazing show. Highly Highly underrated.
I've seen it 4 times now and it's definitely better every time. its the best show I've ever seen and likely will ever see
leakykullon5.0 couldn’t agree more i
I think those who departed had one thing in common -- Someone had wished they would disappear.
Including the baby in the opening scene, the pregnancy of Ms Garvey, the laidy having affair with Mr Garvey, and Nora's whole family.
If you rewatch, everyone was having a hard time at the moment, and was probably wishing their trouble would disappear.
That's why people felt so much guilt and can't move on. But they could never admit that thought to anyone.
Perhaps that's why it's ironic, because Kevin's family remained complete, despite the fact that he is the most cowardly person who wanted to run away from everything. (Their last son with Lorrie has departed)
Also in the fourth episode of season one christine said to tommy: " the spiders are beneath the water" or something like that, i think it's an early reference to the magazine, great video, the leftovers is a once in the lifetime show, greetings from México
Holy cow, I missed that one. Great find!
in the Niagra Falls recording, young Kevin Jr. also pleads with Sr. to sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider in order to make the thunder and rain stop. That's got to be intentional and if so, amazing. Hell, even as a coincidence that's amazing. I'm guessing they started with that issue and those images and worked backwards around there to build the story kind of like they said they did with the finale.
I think one other Easter Egg is when Kevin Sr comes across the black VW Beetle in the outback, and the owner sets it and himself on fire. The episode is called Crazy Whitefella Thinking, and this scene is extremely similar to the 1971 movie called Walkabout, right down to the black VW and the driver burning it and himself in the outback. That movie explores Western Whiteman’s behavior/ideals as compared to the Aboriginal man…and fits in with the title Crazy Whitefella Thinking.
Yeah I dont think everyone understood that reference but it was honestly hilarious for me how they snuck a random walkabout easter egg in there
I feel like there's some intended parallel between David Burton pushing the (an anonymous?) stranger overboard from the Tasman ferry and Kevin pushing Patti into the well in his dream, but have no idea what to make of it beside a further hint at their duality.
No man, this is crazy. The writers of this show are on another level!!!
I knew the show was deep and extremely well-written, but this video just made me realise that it is much more than that. Great analysis!
The Leftovers really is profoundly well made. I think really people sense that when watching the show. I had a very intense reaction to it, which was what compelled me to try and make sense of it and to make these videos. Thanks for watching!
In season 1 ep 7 Christine wakes up from a dream and says “there’s spiders underwater”
This and the Kevin analyses were exactly what I was looking for. The Leftovers is just so profound, so meaningful, you keep watching and keep finding new things, like different layers you just keep peeling. It's probably one of the most underrated shows I've ever seen.
Thank you for this, your videos are amazing. You got a new subscriber!
Thank you!
amazing video tbh
what is the song you used in 2:30? i cant find it >:(

The departure
Damon Lindelof is a reason for this everything, he is simply a masterpiece.
Woah, you have Johan on your profile pic so you're presumably an Urasawa fan and a Lindelof fan! They are the greatest ever. Let's be friends, okay?
I look for his name and the rest is love for him
@@filipgeorgiev1388 Ok
A few years ago I bought this copy of National Geographic, it was like $90 compared to every other edition around that time being available for $10. Happy I bought it and good to know that there are enough fans to make it worth something.
there’s a reference on the news in season one to a man in Australia that died in an accident and came back or something ... it’s vague to me at the moment but i think it was the first reference we got to David Burton
well done. one of my favorite shows but ive never looked into the NatGeo mag so i never catch those easter eggs
The Leftovers is an actual smart show. They are really rare, nothing pretentious about it. It's just really a hard show to fully grasp and really one that makes you think.
Exactly why people didn’t like it much n it went underrated. Coz people these days want a straight forward fast paced storyline n Leftover is anything but any of that.
@@ibrahimsyed1033 I can't believe I posted that comment 3 years ago. I need to rewatch the show.
Thank you so much for these Leftovers videos. They really help to connect the dots for this criminally underappreciated masterpiece (hopefully soon to acclaim cult status). You are doing fantastic, best videos about the series! You will succeed in this field. Best of luck to you and can't wait for the third Garvey psychology video!
Ahh! Thank you so much! It really means a lot to hear that. I'm really enjoying doing this so it's good to know that people are enjoying it as well.
Kirby Yardley Trust me if Leftovers will earn cult following it deserves your vids will have way way more views. These are a must watch for Leftovers fans. Good luck! I hope you'll examine more tv or movies. You're good at it
I just finished watching the Leftovers yesterday and I think there's another mention of Ciaro. In season 3, during Kevin Sr's episode when he's outside of the post office, he places something in a magazine and I'm pretty sure the page says Ciaro!
Kirby, you're good. I really appreciate people who can not only tie it all together but illuminate all the other threads holding it all together.
Awww. Thank you!
I also found the Leftover series most compelling. Most people I talked with about it could not suspend disbelief of the premise of a mysterious disappearance even for entertainment. They quit watching and I’m glad I stuck with it! The third season was particularly rewarding as we learn about key characters and their own ‘departure’ experience. Good to find thoughts and comments here to enrich and tweak my experience as I rewatch the series.
You missed the roulette table in S1E3, the camera zooms in on 3, 23, 25.
Also notated as collosians 3:23-25
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.
The symbolism is absurd in this show!
Wow. I’m impressed by your analyzes!! (And research) I just finished watching this amazing creation (The Leftovers) last night and for the first time in years I feel such a deep appreciation for all the people who made this show.
I’ll remember it. You know.
Again, Thanks for sharing your observations! //Eli
No mention of the various connections to “the Last Wave?” Movie from 1977? Where David Burton is the main character, and featuring David Gulpilil (the actor who plays Christopher Sunday). It deals with the impending apocalypse in Australia (sound familiar?)
PS your videos are so well done. I’m so excited to hear that the 3rd psych of Kevin video is forthcoming! Best Leftovers related videos I’ve found... thank you for delving deeper into this monumental series with us viewers.
I guess those connections don’t really pop up til season 3 so perhaps some mention in your next video?
Thank you for the kind words!
I had never seen The Last Wave, so I missed that connection entirely. Thanks for pointing it out. I definitely need to watch that film now.
Your videos are excellent. Can't wait for the following parts. Did you see Fearless also directed by Peter Weir. The Leftovers, especially for the path of Kevin Garvey, borrow some elements from this movie.
also in Laurie's season 2 episode, theres a scene where she's writing her book and on the TV is a news report about David Burton. not sure if this was in the vid and I missed it
oh man 7:58 creepy as fuck, don't scare me like this again :D
I just finished watching the Leftovers and I am amazed and deeply moved. Everything was extraordinary but I especially loved the soundtrack and the actor directing.
Go watch it again, it gets even better. I just finished watching for the 5th time 😂
And yes, the soundtrack is absolute perfection!
cairo, egypt is also mentioned in the series finale as nora and matt play matt libs :)
This is my first YT comment. You’re made for this. Your research and editing skills are amazing. I’d love to back you for your next project.
lol, tutankhamen "rightfully" restored....says who? How do you know who was "rightful"?
Gosh, how do you even know all these?? You are simply amazing. Tq for this. It just adds that additional layer to my experience of this astonishing series.
The show failed to explain a couple of things. What's up with the national geographic book? Also how tf are all the dogs synchronized and crazy in season 1? Also wtf was up with the into scene to season 2?
What’s the song playing in the background around 30 seconds?
Interesting stuff. Feels like a good up and coming channel, please keep going (or don't if it's not your thing after all)! You've earned yourself a new subscriber, hope to see a lot more of you.
Thank you! I really enjoyed making these videos, so I definitely intend to keep going.
Best show ever for me.
I wonder what the Canada connection was. Jill had Evaporators posters in her bedroom, and she was obsessed with the kid's show Today's Special.
How about Azazel who was inside Nora? Wtf that meant?!
another amazing vid!
cant wait for part 3
#part3hype
It's coming along. Very exciting!
Kirby Yardley can’t wait!!!
i liked the 2:10 version of leftovers ost, can you link it? Nice video :)
These videos are great. Please do more. Much appreciated.
the one HUGE advice I can tell to first-time viewers of this series is: don't expect it to fulfill the need for more Lost. They have a few thematic similarities but are largely different series.
Hot take: It's better than Lost.
Thank you for this. You are one smart SOB.
This is so crazy... how did they even think to put all these things in? Knowing no one will ever see them or notice them? Just wow...
Thanks for your amazing research. I'm definitely going to watch the show all over again, but now with a different perspective.
Wish more Leftover fans knew about your videos. Very interesting analysis that adds to a spectacular series that many fans would enjoy.
Wow! Unexpected video! Very cool! I like the National Geographic references! There are soooo many easter eggs in the Leftovers just in the show beyond the references to mythology and things. Some are so small like Dr. Brian Goodheart in season 2 episode 1 and then Matt has to call out the name Brian when he hits that guy with the oar in No Room at the Inn. Life of Brian anyone?? But yeah! great video! keep it up!
There really are.
I never made the Life of Brian connection. Holy cow!
Kirby Yardley idk if it's ACTUALLY a Life of Brian reference but the name does come up twice and I wouldn't be surprised if it were haha
This was brilliant. Thank you!
I liked your analysis of this
Half man half fallen angel 😇
Could anyone translate these videos in french pleaaase? I really would like to understand them :/ It seems really interesting! And it could help me to understand this series whose I'm really fan. I search for this kind of videos for months but I didn't find... Thank you for your job by the way! :)
I'm sorry this took so long. I have uploaded a French translation for this video and will do so for the other videos in the series. These translations were done automatically so there will be mistakes. I hope it works for you and that you can understand them. Thank you!
Je suis désolé que cela ait pris autant de temps. J'ai téléchargé une traduction française pour cette vidéo et je le ferai pour les autres vidéos de la série. Ces traductions ont été faites automatiquement, il y aura donc des erreurs. J'espère que cela fonctionne pour vous et que vous pouvez les comprendre. Je vous remercie!
Great! Thank you so much for your reply and for the translation. Even if it's automatic, it will certainly help me to better understand ^^ Thanks again!
I watched the whole show in 3 days and I could notice a few easter eggs here and there but this video is in a whole different level! well done!!!
Really good video - amazed at all of these easter eggs. Nice editing style too, keep up the good work.
Amazing video
Thank you.
Max Richter is GOD
That's Mr X
Love easter eggs😅
Absolutely amazing... I am in awe!
Amazing work as always!!!!
Thank you!
Jardin is garden in spanish. Which I always thought was funny. Because Mormons believe the garden of eden was in the southwest of america. And they pronounce the j in Jardin, when in spanish a j is pronounced as an h for English speakers. So it is hardeen. Anyways
I love this show
Is the background music in the first part of the video part of the Leftovers soundtrack? From 0:00-2:00.
Yes, it is. It's from Season Two. The song is called "Storybook".
Thank you!
Wonderful work! Hope you get monetized for your content. It is very well documented. Thank you!☀️🌈
You missed some of the illuminati symbolism and numerology Easter eggs. Clue: Street Addresses and house numbers in the series have meaning.
Elaborate?
Amazing video.
Isn't Kevin Jr also born in may 1972? I thought that was canon?
Excellent, what’s the leftovers theme you use in this, sounds like piano theme but with a twang ?
“Depths!!” Nice!!
Great video I love the show
Cairo, NY is actually pronounced Kay-ro. Just saying.
De-essing is needed in your narration. Way too sharp.
Omg! I am just now finding this series and your brilliant analysis. I went searching for conversation about this brilliant series and found you. It really helped me bring some of the pieces of the show together. So, sad that your reviews didn't continue!
Great video. Thanks for doing this.
It's a great show, but some of these "easter eggs" are just nerdy placements put their for their own sake. Just to say hey look this relates to the magazine which we never explain the actual meaning of. Nothing truly profound, just sort of showing off with obscure quirkiness.
Yeah, it's more used as a glue for the creators to easter egg the backstory.
In this case that particular issue of the magazine. Never meant for our eyes or our understanding (unless you went and got that issue). So not at all easter eggs really.
But that's what all backstories are for anyways, a tool to inform the creators and actors on how to unfold a scene or a performance. Never meant for us to consciously know about.
Wait so wtf? There’s actual supernatural stuff?
Spoiler alert alert: this contains a sign saying this contains spoilers.
Incredible video, thank you very much!
Amazing Video. I feel like just attended a seminar on Mars
I already loved the serie and definitely catch some references but i'm amazed by the other one. This show is brillant. I can't.
Solomon
Sol- sun
omon- moon
Sun +
Moon -
Or
Sol amoon
Amen
Please I need the soundtrack name in 2:33
Nice work, but the spider was a bit of a stretch!
...Until I dug a little deeper into some of the more obscure dialogue.
The hidden elements and themes to this show seem endless.
Haha, yeah. I think I didn't do a great enough job representing the spider concept in the video. I wanted to hold back because it's a major point in part three of my analysis, which I just uploaded. Go check it out!
National Geographic used to be good
David Burton was God.
this is genius man!! i'm amazed thank you
Amazing, so much more connections than I thought. Great job.
Whats the song at the beginning
I still did not get how Kevin did not die...
Awesome Video. Mind Blown!
What happened with the rest?
Great video bro
Tremendous job here. Well done
