Sora no Kiseki the 3rd: The Hermit's Garden - ViRiX Dreamcore ft Matthew Jamison

[The Hermit's Garden]

SPOILER ALERT

Okay, here goes. On this week’s episode of The Leftovers, a French naval officer strips naked, blasts old music at full volume to attract the attention of his captain, murders the man, steals his nuclear launch key, seals himself in the missile launch control room of a submarine, and fires a nuke at an uninhabited island in the South Pacific. With commercial flights grounded following the explosion, a quartet of our heroes led by Reverend Matthew Jamison board a relief plane and land in Tasmania, where they board a boat to travel to Melbourne and rescue Kevin Garvey so he can resume his duties as the messiah. This boat happens to be the venue for a massive lion-themed orgy. One of the guests is a former Olympic bronze-medal decathlete who rose from the dead after breaking his neck three years ago and now believes he’s God. If he looks familiar, that’s because he appeared in the hallucinatory afterlife purgatory where Kevin went when he died and came back from the dead. “God” murders a guy by tossing him overboard in the middle of the party; Matt’s the only witness and no one really believes him. Matt is also, apparently, dying. Matt confronts God twice, first getting punched in the gut, then knocking him out with an axe handle and holding him prisoner until, half-convinced he’s got the real deal on his hands (or just too delirious to care), he frees the deity in exchange for being saved from his illness. The cure doesn’t seem to take. When the boat finally docks, police arrive to arrest God because a fishing boat found a floating corpse, which confirms Matt’s story. In the confusion, a splinter faction of the lion orgy frees the actual live lion brought onboard as the guest of honor. The lion promptly kills and eats God as he attempts to flee. Matt turns from the scene toward the camera, looks at his friends, and says, “That’s the guy I was telling you about.” The end.

When you lay it all end-to-end like that, the sheer narrative and tonal audaciousness of The Leftovers is clearer than ever. From the crazy lion orgy boat to the storm-tossed cargo plane to the nuclear submarine commandeered by a madman in his birthday suit, this is a strange trip. But the show’s confidence that it will get to its appointed destination carries you along for the ride — just like Matt’s sheer bloody-minded belief in God, in Kevin, and in himself was enough to drag former skeptic John Murphy, his devoutly Christian son, Michael, and his strictly rationalist wife, Laurie, all the way across the globe. Right down to a willfully goofy title — “It’s a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt World” — that practically dares you not to take it seriously. This episode is The Leftovers at its boldest and best.

Adam Higgs: Look at that! Nice action shot there.

Lucas Bryant: Well, you know how many times it took for me to spin around and pull my gun that quickly?

Adam: I'm gonna say once.

Lucas: That's the right answer.

Adam: There you go!

Lucas: It was more like 23 in real life. But I was just like 'Just keep it rolling, I'll just gonna keep doing it. Just keep it going.' The gun would go fly across the room. The gun would go off and Vince would die. The gun would get stuck in my pants. I would spin, spin too far. [] Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Just keep it going, keep it rolling. I've learned that, let's not cut, just keep it going and eventually maybe

Kaitlyn Morrison: You've made this Christmas magical for me and Adam.

Adam Morrison: Matthew, I checked the food donation bin today.

Matthew Jameson: Uh-huh.

Adam: There's barely anything in it.

Matthew: Don't worry about it. Once it gets closer to Christmas I'm sure it'll fill up.

Kaitlyn Morrison: Yeah, I agree. People will come through.

Adam: But what if they don't? What happens then? I say we host a fundraiser for the food bank, here. At the house.

Kaitlyn: Honey, that'd be really hard to pull of this close to the holiday.

Adam: Well, we could talk to Mr. Keys. He could make it part of Yule Fest.

Kaitlyn: I don't know. That's a big job.

Matthew: Could be a good way to show off the house.

Kaitlyn: You're for this idea?

Matthew: It could be a Christmassy kind of open house.

Adam: Yeah, we could call it the Yule House. And we could decorate all the rooms inside with different Christmassy things. And then we could sell the tickets and give all the money to the food bank.

Kaitlyn: You're really excited about this idea, huh?
