I cut my teeth on the greatest TV show ever made, LOST, which, strangely enough had the same main dude at the helm, Damon Lindelof. I just love how he puts a show together that requires viewer involvement to understand and fully appreciate. The deeper you dig, the more treasures you find. So thanks to Blake for putting this team together, but most of all, I thank all of you that watch and contribute your observations every week. It's all good. It will take a community, and as we learned in LOST, we all need each other, to move on.

I am new to The Leftovers, but not new to Damon Lindelof. Give me a good mystery to unravel and some truly unsettling imagery and I’m a happy girl! I was an avid fan of Lost and devoured the first season of this new series in 3 days. A bit about me, I’m a writer and actress (former pin-up model/Marilyn Monroe Tribute Artist) as well as a huge literature nerd and film geek. I grew up in Palm Beach County, FL (home of the dangling chad) and now reside in Lincoln, NE by way of Chicago, IL with my husband, Jordan and our beautiful little boy, Anton.

I'm a public relations consultant by trade, a TV fanatic by choice. Throw in a love of all things active and outdoors, traveling internationally, cooking and - best of all - being a mom to my three-year old son, and you've got me in a nutshell (preferably roasted and salted). I'm a first-time watcher of The Leftovers, haven't read the book and don't plan on it. I'm going to dive in eyes open, mind confused and enjoy every Damon Lindelof-executed moment along the way. I'm excited to join you lovable Lefties.

I'm an actress, presenter and YouTuber from Germany who has a love for TV shows and movies. When I started watching The Leftovers I immediately felt the need to talk about it. That's why I started uploading weekly recap videos on my YouTube channel. The first season of The Leftovers is my favorite complete season of any TV show I've ever seen. I just finished reading Tom Perrotta's book the show is based on and I can't wait to share my thoughts about it and season two!

I am a writer, and Author of the soon to be released book, "Roll with the Punches." Excerpts can be found on my site.
What I love most about The Leftovers is the mind that helped create it. Damon Lindelof's writing and intellect is deeply intriguing to me and has inspired my own work.
