The Leftovers Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-23 · 30 entries checked · 10 flagged · 25 issues confirmed · 10 corrected · 15 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Kevin Garvey — Kevin's name is NOT a nod to actor Kevin Carroll; Kevin Carroll plays his father, but the character's name was chosen before casting, and the actor's first name is coincidental.

Kevin Garvey — Kevin's signature song is NOT 'Where Is My Mind?' by Pixies; that song is not used as a motif for Kevin in the series. The recurring song associated with Kevin is 'Homeward Bound' by Simon & Garfunkel, and later 'Let the Mystery Be' by Iris DeMent is used them

Nora Durst — The claim that Gladys lost her entire immediate family in the Sudden Departure is not supported by canon; she lost her husband, but her children are not mentioned as having departed.

Patti Levin — Patti Levin was not a member of the Guilty Remnant before the Sudden Departure; she joins after the Departure.

Patti Levin — Patti Levin's death scene is in Season 1, Episode 10, not Episode 9.

Matt Jamison — Matt Jamison dies in Season 2, Episode 10, not in Season 3

Miracle National Guard — The leader of the Miracle National Guard is not John Murphy; John Murphy is a leader of the Guilty Remnant, not the Guard.

Miracle National Guard — The Guard did not seal off the town's borders or enforce a quota on entries; the town of Jarden was controlled by the U.S. government with a federal checkpoint, not a local paramilitary group.

Holy Wayne's Hug Cult — Wayne's compound was located in Jarden, Texas — This is incorrect. In the show, Wayne's compound is in New York state, not Jarden, Texas.

Holy Wayne's Hug Cult — Wayne's wife and children were still alive and living in the U.S. during the events of the show, as shown in Season 1, Episode 9 — This is inaccurate. In Season 1, Episode 9, it is revealed that Wayne's wife and children died in the Sudden Departure.

Holy Wayne — The entry states that Wayne's past is revealed in Season 1, Episode 6 ('Guest'), but that episode does not reveal that he had a wife and child who died in the Sudden Departure; this backstory is never explicitly confirmed in the series and is speculative.

Holy Wayne — The entry says Wayne's most pivotal encounter is with Kevin Garvey Sr., who seeks Wayne's help for himself, but in the series Kevin Garvey Sr. seeks Wayne's help for his son, Kevin Garvey Jr., not for himself.

Kevin Garvey Sr. — Kevin Garvey Sr. first appears in Season 1, Episode 1, not Episode 2.

Kevin Garvey Sr. — Kevin Sr. successfully drowns Kevin Jr. in Season 2, Episode 8.
