Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
Even with all the change-ups we knew were headed our way in The Leftovers' sophomore season (cast, location, etc), I don't think any of us expected a brilliant, sideways premiere like "Axis Mundi." Which not only contained a brand new title sequence and an opening segment featuring a primitive cave dweller trying to survive on her own with a newborn, but also a solid 35-minute start with a totally different family - the Murphys.
I'm not going to delve into mysteries and clues and so on with regards to The Leftovers' supernatural happenings. Is there a connection between the cavewoman, the hawk, the tremors, the epilepsy, the spring, and the entire Departure event? Probably. But I'm not going to sort through it. Not with this series. I feel like the toe-tapping Iris DeMent track, "Let the Mystery Be," that now stands as the new opening song was chosen for a reason. Not only does it warn us not to get sucked into the vague mystical elements, but it laces this season with a touch of ironic juxtaposition. Whereas the first season may have been very heavy and on-the-nose with its towering, booming title music, this one undercuts the depression in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
