The Flying Dutchman was a ghost ship that couldn't ever make port, sailing the oceans forever (paraphrased from Wikipedia before anyone tries to play "gotcha" with me). Sounds very much like what was happening to Jeffries in general in FWWM. Is it possible he's in the electricity? Or even, perhaps, in what we were

I think it's safe to assume that Bobby isn't just a cop, he's also a Bookhouse Boy,now, and they have a brotherhood.

Was the person who said it a crew member or something? I noticed he was only credit mononymously. And the guy wasn't exactly Cher.

I honestly can't get on board with this theory. The title is "Twin Peaks: The Return." I absolutely admit I could be wrong, but it just doesn't feel like we're going to go through the whole series without a return.

You actually brought up something I've been curious about for a long time, which is why the rights for songs on TV shows don't seem to have the same crediting restrictions as movie song rights do. I really wish they did, TBH, as I often find myself wanting to know what I just listened to on "prestige" television.

"Trolling" isn't always an insult. I do think this was a deliberate choice by Lynch (AND FROST, this was not a one-man-show), but I thought it was brilliant and funny.

I think that can partly be explained by the fact that this isn't structured as "episodes." it would be difficult to do that even if we weren't dealing with some deliberately subversive chronology.

While this was,again, not my favorite episode of the series, it was streets ahead of the previous one, and I think it validates my belief that this really IS being structured as one very long episode, and we're now in the "check-in" phase of what, in the original series, would have probably taken place in the last ten

With regards to Audrey, the theories that she is either institutionalized or in some different "space" than reality seems a lot more likely to me even though I had dismissed them as being overly complicated. Aside from the dialogue, I was struck by the fact that they were in an entirely different room. Following on

I honestly have not laughed as hard in weeks as I did when James Hurley was announced to great fanfare and I knew exactly what was coming. The fact that I actually joked that this would happen weeks ago, completely nonseriously, made it that much funnier. I'm typically the guy who defends Lynch and Frost from

I'm pretty sure you missed the point, but OK.

Huh?

So I literally found out ten minutes ago from Wikipedia that in the past year, Jill Soloway has taken to referring themselves as nonbinary and insisting on nongendered pronouns — despite the fact that the show was ostensibly based on Jill's actual trans parent and coming immediately after Jill broke up with their

Bingo! But of course in the past year she's suddenly identifying herself as nonbinary and changing their pronouns so all is forgiven…

I honestly don't follow serial killers very closely…he could have been. But again, I find it questionable that everyone who comes up with a creepy mass murderer somehow justifies it by saying "He's based on X." I mean, I'm not even a fan of the genre and I know for a fact that both Norman Bates and Leatherface were

"What do I have against equality anyway"? You need to work on your material.

I know exactly as much about your actual race as you know about mine. And you're flagged, pal.

I am unabashedly a fan of panel game shows and have for years been saying they should be brought back, but now I realize I was wrong. The era when homes welcomed people who were cosmopolitan, sophisticated, witty and unafraid to look intellectual is long gone in this country. At least I can watch pirated copies of the

I think Match Game legitimately loses something now that censorship on TV is barely a thing anymore. The jokes were more clever in the 70s because they were double entendres. Now the jokes are barely single entendres.

Just because lots of people were collectively awful at some point in time doesn't mean that what they were doing wasn't "out of line." Lots of people for a few thousand years were OK with slavery, Jew-hunting, gay bashing and marital rape, but the people who were victims of it probably thought it was out of line.
