There's no problem that a good karaoke night can't fix. That's Kevin's solution at least as he slams into the end of the Jarden plotline and Season 2 of The Leftovers as a whole. Meanwhile, the missing girls are no longer missing, families struggle to keep it together, and we look forward to next season, which neither Allen nor Magellan have seen... EDITOR'S NOTE: We mention this at the bottom of the episode, but we will not be starting Season Three next week! With Magellan still traveling, we d...

This week on The Chatzovers, Kevin barrels towards his fate to get rid of the Patti in his mind. John suspects something isn't right though, and Kevin takes the final plunge towards...a career in espionage? International Assassin is a well-regarded episode of television, often cited as one of modern TV's best. Does it actually hold up in isolation, or does it rely on the foundation laid in Season 2?

It's time for a major scenery change as we say goodbye to Mapleton (for now!) and travel with the Garveys to Jarden, Texas. Can a town with no departures be truly safe?

Or was it just time and distance that made time before The Departure seem so nice?

What is a body but a mass of flesh, bones, and ideology? "Gladys" attempts to discuss this question and more to mixed results, and "Guest" centers Nora Durst on what seems to be a totally normal conference trip. But before she straddles a plastic corpse, stops someone from blaming the Mossad regime, and gets a big friendly hug, she invites someone over to her house for some company...maybe Miami wasn't such a bad idea.

VROOOOOM, and away we go for the second part of our season on shows canceled in 13 episodes or less. We watched the first two episodes of the 2007 mid-season replacement drama series Drive, which until now mostly existed in the recesses of Allen's memory. It took a visit from the Spit and Polish hosts Ryan and Bartek to tackle this meaty pair of episodes! Does the show live up to a distant memory, or was it better off canceled in six episodes? Ryan and Bartek are the co-hosts of Spit & Polis...

More gags, more goofs, more whacky cartoon hijinks!

Lights, camera...ducks! After the production troubles of Twin Peaks season 2, Mark Frost and David Lynch wanted to create a show about the chaotic production crew on a variety show. The result? On the Air, a series that barely made it to air before being summarily canceled. Is the return of Chatz favorite Ian Buchanan enough to solidify this series as a forgotten gem? Or do the running gags and cartoon humor get annoying too soon? Only one way to find out! Check out chatzpod.com for all things C...

But Mark Frost sure did try in Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier, and Ryan has done us an incredible service by reading it and recounting all the major ideas and plot beats. Is it leftover script details that didn't need to be explained?
