Two Boats and a Helicopter

Everything was perfect in this episode from beginning to the end and everything happened in an incredibly dramatic way as if it was the perfect finest episode of another great series. WOW.

Wow, this episode is intense throughout - without any explosions or car chases or gun fights. Matt Jamison is a great character and his story is fascinating. He has to deal with his paralysed wife and you can really feel that he loves her more than anything.

The acting is incredibly good and the writing, wow, I can't even describe it in words! Pure perfection.

This episode proves that "The Leftovers" has some great characters in store. Matt Jamison is one of them and he will also play a key role in future episodes.

My vote is 10. What an awesome episode!

This episode, "Two boats and a helicopter," is one of the single best hours of television I have ever seen. I am the grandson of two ministers. One was Methodist. The other, Presbyterian. Both of their churches were in the northeast of the USA.

Christopher Eccleston brilliantly, perfectly, captured the painful, ambiguous emotions that surely would fill the mind of an intelligent and sensitive pastor under the situation depicted. The story is masterfully written, directed, and edited. The acting by the rest of the cast is superb. Like the rest of the series, the episode is compellingly enigmatic and intellectually interesting. The result is very believable, at once beautiful and moving.

I hate cheesy writing Like when you start a car but a bad guy can just open the door and grab you.

Come on.

I thought the end was dumb, but it had some of the greatest moments of genuine tension and uncertainty that I've seen in a show of late.
