Is there any chance at all you could actually add to the discussion, rather than writing off every man on the AV Club? There isn't? And you know the gender of every poster here? You do? Wow!

Wow, what a convenient way to shut down everyone who disagrees with you, without having to provide any argument whatsoever!
Very well said.
Holy shit, this article is utter nonsense. The immediate crucifixion, based on hearing only one side of a domestic dispute that should never have became public, is ridiculous. But I guess you've got to get those clicks!
I'm loving this season, but there definitely seems to be a feeling in some episodes that Lynch is throwing everything he filmed at the screen, in order to fill up the 18 episode order. There have been a lot of throwaway scenes, drawn-out scenes, and repeated scenes (specifically Dr. Amp) that makes me feel like there…
I think Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon represent two polar opposites when it comes to movie making (particularly superhero movies).
Yes, I DO know they followed up on it in the next episode. I mentioned it in the post you were replying to! My point was that, within the specific episodes, there may not be the same type of flow you would get with a more typical hour-long television show. That is one of the more unique things about this season, and…
Going into this series, I did not want to be spoiled at all (obviously).

Even after thirteen episodes, I find myself watching the individual episodes in the mindset of someone used to more traditional TV (even peak TV), and sometimes feeling very confused and off-kilter. It may take a re-watch, or discussion on sites like this one, before an episode clicks. Like you, I love the fact that…
I’ve heard stories about one or two people who watched Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces (the deleted scenes from Fire Walk With Me) and thought they were watching the whole movie. Needless to say, those people were often rather confused and found it hard to follow.
I'm a lifelong Bond fan, and had been a big admirer of the Craig films, even enjoying Quantum of Solace (which had some pretty major flaws). But somehow Spectre managed to drain away all my enthusiasm for Craig, even for Bond in general. Everyone and everything in that film felt so very, very tired, particularly its…
I would love to see more classic TV reviews at the AV Club, it was a great part of the site in the good ol' days.
As soon as I heard "there were so many people in there!" I thought about the crowd of Woodsmen surrounding Ray and BadCoop from last week. Wonder if it was them?
One reviewer being underwhelmed by episode nine is understandable (even if I think they are wrong), but I was utterly mystified reading the article above. Is it groupthink? "I'm too cool for slightly more conventional but still astounding television?" Strange.
I hate seeing even the letter grade of an episode before I watch it, as it will inevitably colour my impression of the show…
I think as Dougie he is blinking just a little bit slower than normal, which gives off an uneasy feeling. And yes, it does resemble the backwards blinking from the Red Room (which, particularly when Sheryl Lee was doing it, was very creepy).
If the rest of the season consists of exposition/plot episodes like this one (and episode seven), occasionally broken up by Lynchian weirdness like last week's episode, I will be perfectly happy. Personally, the last three episodes have been everything I wanted from this revival, and have all been "A" episodes.
During some of the Dougie Jones scenes back in episodes five and six. I would occasionally check the time and think "How much more of this can I take?". Now, with this episode and seven, with so much plot going on (even when there is still the occasional drawn out scene) it seems to be moving at a lightning pace.…
I was absolutely on board with the revival through the first four episodes. The last two, however, have begun to drag. The endless introductions of new characters and new plots is getting overwhelming, and combined with the Dougie Jones story going on forever, my enthusiasm has backed off somewhat. I don't find any of…
