I agree w/ you about the direct payoff, even though I've concocted this theory, I don't think we'll get a direct payoff—my sense as a storyteller tells me we won't see Dark Big Ed bludgeon Nadine to death or some other awful thing like that. I think it's more about showing us that Twin Peaks is being watched and being…

People are ignoring or misinterpreting the part where Ed burns up a piece of paper. We assume that is has something to do with Nadine—a love note he burns—but I've thought he was testing the reflection, to see if it moved as he did. I don't think that scene was just about delayed time, I think Ed was being…

what did that mean? great poetry.

At the very end of last ep, we saw Big Ed was under observation by a Black Lodge entity (the out of sync reflection). So what's the chance this person is not our Ed anymore? Unlikely I know, but I'm nagged by it.

Oh, other stuff I like: Wayward is still really fun, I haven't read much Zub and he's inventiveness and consistency are admirable, and the art has been so wonderfully lush. The second Kaiju Max miniseries was gut-wrenchingly great (that was this year, right?). And Jessica Jones/Alias is a pretty good story so far,…

It would satisfy me okay, if it was just a nostalgia act, but I think Way has over-extended himself, running the imprint and co-writing some of the titles. Either that, or he just isn't up to the task. The book looks great, and there are some fine new ideas too, but it is really shaky in execution.

Shade, The Changing Girl has been THE standout of Young Animals for me. I picked up all the first issues of the imprint. I kept up w/ Cave Carson thru the first arc. It is underrated and should be talked about more, but ultimately isn't much more than a smart redux of the old adventure series, congrats to the team for…

Anyone aside from me getting a Guy Maddin feel from some of this? I've always thought of him as the mostly more upbeat Canadian counterpart to Lynch. Maddin is to Lynch what The Simpsons' Senior Spielbergo is to Steven Spielberg.

I don't necessarily agree that the bug is bob, however, the girl did invite it in, by agreeing to kiss that boy. What attracts bob seems to be people letting themselves open up to their dark side. Now, I'm not saying that sharing a tiny kiss w/ a boy is dark/wrong/evil, but if the girl felt it was illicit (and at her…

I don't have anything to hang my idea on, but I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility. Lynch may not be concerned with 'fanservice' but I think he understands the importance of his characters from the original run, and wants to include them in significant/meaningful ways where it makes sense (sense being a…

I posted this elsewhere: I think Harry may die off camera, but show up—in some form—as an good avatar from the Lodge to help Cooper. If they weren't planning on doing something with him, I don't think they'd have multiple instances calling attention to his absence.

Part of the reason I think Richard could be Dale's kid (somehow) is that he, frankly, looks like a bleached/pale version of Dale Cooper. If you desaturated a 21yr old Kyle Mclaughlin, that's about what he'd look like.

It could be an indicator of anything… or nothing. We probably won't know until the whole show is done and we've had a lot of time to consider it.

After the most recent episode, I think Ontkean's Truman may die at some point, off screen, and return in a new form offering help to Cooper as another avatar from the Lodge.
There's little rumors—fan's hope mostly—that some of the unlisted original cast are going to have cameos (ala Major Briggs). Could be that Ontkean…

About the sweeping segment…
There was a shot in Blue Velvet, of an open window with a fluttering curtain. At one point Isabella Rosellini's Dorothy character tries to get Jeffrey (Kyle MacLachlan) to leave through it undiscovered by her psycho captor. He doesn't, but the last time he has a chance to get out ans leave…

I clearly remember Lynch saying he was leaving because he wanted more episodes, but everything I looked up said he was asking for more money…Hmm, Perhaps I am just thinking of the old adage "time is money" and in Lynchian terms, that seems reasonable with all the pauses he inserts in his stories.

I've always felt that, while Lynch is critical of american culture, he doesn't hate it, just recognizing that there is a good and dark aspects to it.
He says he liked Regan, and apparently at one point, he did consider himself libertarian, which … ugh.
He's apparently outgrown that and supported Obama and Sanders.

I didn't know he was a Kienholz fan. It doesn't surprise me though.

One of the things that can turn me off of an episode of Bob's Burgers is Bob's negativity, which I think gets played too high and too often. This episode toned it down to just the right spot, and I really enjoyed Bob's predicament and reaction because of it. Seeing Bob get dragged into something he doesn't want,…

To me the Wally Brando bit feels … imagine this new season were done via Kickstarter? Then Michael Cera is the guy who donated the most money, and his premium reward was to have a scene with his favorite characters. More than anything about his dialogue, or outfit and affectations, the weirdest thing to me was how…
