Donna died on the way back to her home planet.

The hairs along my arms were standing up during the woods scenes, especially as there was some very subtle frame hitching going on.

Or…referencing "Love Potion #9" - "I've been this way since 1956." https://youtu.be/Nt7htnE1s4o

Rolan got fucked over as a knock-on from his Dad being fucked over by a hugely shitty music industry and really crap managers, not that Marc was above done some fuckery of his friends and associates himself (in part the thing that fucked his career before he died, along with running out of usable ideas and just…

BMI and ASCAP usually get mentioned, but clearances are more often done by the somewhat notorious Harry Fox Agency. https://www.harryfox.com/ These guys are functionally music licensing sharks.

Starting with the Archie crossover. Although that had Betty and Veronica as the heroes.

The budgets for Sharknado films have doubled.

Gal Gadot's going to be doing the backstroke in the residuals she'll be getting. And butterfly through the pay bump she'll get for WWII and Justice League II.

I've talked to an Asylum producer/director, and the budgets suck to the extent that he does cons selling merchandise to pick up coffee change. Doesn't even sell autographs, because nobody would buy 'em.

Ice cream scoop. He gets two scoops of Sharknado, everybody else gets one.

If I remember correctly, Annie's mentioned during the discussion of "Cooper" leaving Twin Peaks and vanishing.

The supposed Jeffries voice doesn't have the exaggerated accent that Bowie adopted in FWWM, though, which is odd.

It did kinda of lurch from exposition to stillness to weirdness to sort of action to stillness and weirdness in a herky-jerky manner. What I do think was happening with the Gordon/Albert scenes is that Lynch was decompressing the whole Blue Rose thing from Fire Walk With Me.

Nope. David Bowie's character keeps getting mentioned too, and as far as anybody knows he didn't film anything for the series.

Peter Giles, to all accounts, had no taste for the life of a rock bassist and instead ended up in that chosen optional life of the unwilling musician, realtor. Same thing happened with one of the Margetts brothers from Spontaneous Combustion, a teenage prog trio whose first album was produced by, ta-da-, Greg Lake.

Lynch and others have said this is it, that this wraps up the story.

I've been saying that The Return is essentially just Lynch finished up the trilogy he meant to do with FWWM…except adapted for the time gap, and expanded to gargantuan length. We know full well that FWWM was originally a four-plus hour film. The second and third films would have been equally as long, with at least as…

It connects with material Frost salted into The Secret History as well. The Lodges (I suspect we saw the White Lodge tonight) go back for centuries at least, but Lynch seems to be suggesting with this episode that further dimensional rips occurred with the atomic bomb, as well as various kinds of electricity use…

Marvel picked up a new license so they could do the Shang-Chi omnibuses. Marvel TV could easily get a cheapo license for a TV series featuring SHng-Chi, but as I noted earlier, why bother? They'll be altering things to fit TV anyway. They could still do the same stories…just substitute their own characters. Replace…

Marvel made a deal with Sax Rohmer's estate for the original series, they made another for the omnibus editions, and they could easily make a relatively cheap deal for a TV series if they wanted (I don't think the Fu Manchu universe is getting many offers anymore.)
