Looks like The Dissolve, except white.

"The closing maneuver is where the episode takes its name from: a Trojan Horse trick that sees Flanders’ RV towed into the lemon tree lot with all of the crafty Springfielders inside."

Both this and the Simpsons classic review were impossible to find. Usually they'd be on the front page, but now I have to click three times, THREE FUCKING TIMES, to find them!! (yes, well designed user interfaces matter to me).

This is the best thing in the history of things. The Toad one is glorious.

I still have no idea what the word "primer" refers to in the story.

I think this sudden jump in the complexity and weirdness of the situation is entirely intentional on Carruth's part. My idea is that starting with the Granger incident the ultimate state of things becomes fundamentally unknowable from the viewpoint of the characters. Not merely that they're not smart enough to figure…

Y'know I've always thought that, for someone who's ostensibly a ruthless mob boss, Torrio has always been exceedingly indulgent towards Capone. I've no doubt that the attempt on Capone's life in this episode was Torrio's doing, I'm just wondering why it took him so long.

I've not read the comments yet so I don't know if someone's already suggested this, but i would very much like to see the Nightmare on Elm Street series covered. There are some very interesting ups and downs in that series.

"Though I guess you do have the parallel that Mike quits on Bobby when things get too heavy."

Damn, that Theresa Banks idea is excellent and not something I'd considered before.

Out of curiosity, which moment from the finale is that? I can think of at least a half-dozen candidates.

Maybe by a few months, depending on how you want to define things.

Off hand, I can't think of anything that places Twin Peaks specifically in 89/90/91 (in terms of culture and fashions, there's small stuff like Cooper's electronic organiser that get dropped quickly). As with much of Lynch's work it seems to take place in a vaguely 50's alterna-world.

The scene you're describing is definitely in the show, sometime early in season 2. Leland describes the whole thing to Cooper.

The moment in the finale when Cooper's doppelganger looks directly into the camera and grins at the audience is the scariest thing I've ever seen on TV. It should be cheesy and amusing, given that it's a character breaking the fourth wall out of the blue, but it's not, it's terrifying.

Yeah, the mythology elements introduced later in season 2 (the owl cave, the King Arthur stuff, the astrological signs and planetary conjunction stuff, the petroglyph) were less than successful, precisely because they're so concrete. They're almost like elements from some fantasy RPG. Lynch quite clearly cared for…

I'm glad that Carrie pointed out something that I've always felt to be true, that Leland is scarier than BOB. In fact, of all the supernatural elements in Twin Peaks I've always found BOB to be the least scary. I find the MFAP to be creepier than him, particularly in the final episode. The doppelgangers, to me, are…

I suppose I should throw up a SPOILER WARNING…

Repetition I can see, but self parody? Okay, the last Burton movie I saw was probably Planet of the Apes but I'm not seeing it. Is his more recent stuff self parodying?
