Ha, I know. "Chad, you wait here in jail."

I could see that as either being significant as a related reference, or just Lynch rounding the base of the international version of the pilot — technically one of his films; he is referencing everything he's done, so that would count.

Are there ANY noble hackers anymore? Come on, Angelina and poor man's Chris O'Donnel, hack the gibson already. We need you!

Also, cheers to the AV club's re-capper and round-tablists.
And jeers to this two-week sabbatical!

What if this all concludes as the most optimistic statement Lynch has ever made? I feel like the opposite of the original series' finale is in store.

I'm obsessed with this guy. The moment in the cell is one of the creepiest so far. It also feels like yet another Lynchian quote of himself — as Adams notes — as an echo of the Man Behind Winky's. Unlike other moments of total bafflement, nobody seems to have a theory on this dude. Perhaps — like the MBW — not a dude…

That dark figure that walked down the hall toward the fed. agent while she was on the phone — is that the same thing that dissolved in the cell down from Matt Lillard? Where his face kind of floated up and disappeared and gave me nightmares?

Yeah, that bummed my group out. It was hard to shove ourselves back into the story after that. Fortunately, no parents among us.

Wow. Ironically, that may have been written by a Harvard graduate.

I agree. Also, I'm really fucking glad there was no Facebook when I was 18.

…and Jim Crow and segregation and red lining and everything else. It just seems weird to argue that something shouldn't sting when it does. It stings. Everyone knows why.

…Because the syllabic contours of that word coming out of a white mouth recalls everything about slavery. It would be silly except that the word has a history and a meaning that, for some, is just visceral.

Really?

Well, at least Kathy Griffin and Bill Maher can look forward to the basket of gold bricks Kushner and Trump are sending their way. This is why old progressive comics should not try to be outrageous. When your comedic synapses just start firing shit like "Decapitated head" or "racial epithet", take a bow.

Hey, guys — fish.

If you're possibly referring to the new Frank Ocean as being a little snoozy, check out the new ones by Bilal and Maxwell. Soul/R&B tweaked but still funky and satisfying.

It's blue with black stripes, but it's gotta be Your bull.

Aaaaaand the topper. Good work everybody.

Look at Vallravn — GETTING OFF.

Seems worth remembering that, when they met, Taylor Swift was an enormous star with a #1 album accepting an award on television. She could argue that he used her to get more famous. Like, which one had to steal the other's spotlight, you know?
