So, The Leftovers just ended and I feel like a hollow shell of myself.
The finale brimmed over the edge with symbolic imagery. While Nora’s arc came to a fairly straight-forward end, there’s much more to discern under the surface. Floods, doves, beads, and goats – what does it all mean?
Let’s break it down.

When THE LEFTOVERS started, I was certain we’d never see an ending. Nobody would watch this depressing, spiral of a slice’o’life. Like 1% of the world in the first episode, it would depart without getting a final word in.
CARNIVALE had me kind of bitter.
But here we are. A final season! 8 episodes of glorious (and potentially apocalyptic) angst!
Here be spoilers!

2016. The Year of the Reaper.
What a wild ride. We lost our heroes, we lost our favorite bars. Goodbye Eagle. Goodbye Black Crown. Some parts of the world were turned inside out and upside down, while other parts put an egomaniac in the highest office of power. Oh? And Pebble? The greatest smart watch there ever was? Gone.
Sigh.
Despite 2016 going down in the books as a Very Terrible Year, it’s actually been a pretty great one for me. Which is wild – I’ve been dreading this year my whole life. The year I turn 30.
But I made it a year of transition, and managed to shift my life in a different direction for this next chapter. I left my stifling, corporate dominated job of 11 years and started new. A new job, in a new home, as I gradually inch closer and closer to city life. I fell in crazy, stupid, mushy love, and was lucky enough to travel. International, for the first time. Iceland, Australia – you were wonderful. But I still like Seattle the best.
It’s been a pretty great year for nerds too. Especially gamers! I’m dizzy from the amount of great games that came out in the last three months alone. Some of these I’ve been looking forward to… since… well, the last time I did one of these posts.
I didn’t get to see, read, or play everything. But here are some of my favorite things I did have time for this year.
