I must be pretty excited about the new season of Twin Peaks, because twice in the last few weeks I've dreamt that I'm already watching it. I have to assume the actual show will be better than the dreams, which frankly have been rather talky and dull.

Hard pass.

If anything, it's odd that the Witch of the East gets any screen time at all. Usually she enters the story postmortem.

Yes, it was the subject of one journal article that addressed the book as a veiled commentary on the populist movement of the time. Most other scholars reject the interpretation, since the connections are pretty flimsy and Baum generally wasn't interested in allegory to begin with. But it somehow entered our…
