Nope. Without Lynch I just don't see the point. His specific vision of TP is as crucial to the show as anything and it'd be ridiculous to go ahead without him.

There's no point if Lynch isn't involved, simple as that. TP is as much about a visual style as it is about plot and Lynch sets that style. It's difficult to explain, but IMO it's the difference between trying to be weird and actually being weird. TP fans will know exactly what I mean. The world of TP is partly his…

1983: went to see a British metal band called Raven, mostly to see the opening band…Metallica.

"Caltech"…lol.

It's the little things like that, it was actually nice to see that particular group of longtime characters interacting so well.

I kinda liked this one. That's a few decent episodes in a row, they might redeem the season just yet.

One of the season's better efforts, a solid B+ episode.

Pretty good, a solid B- IMO. Moe is almost always funny.

Toy music for toy people.

Seriously WTF was that about? Those nominees were a joke. Slipknot? Anthrax? Come on, just do away with the category if you're just going to make a joke out of it.

Yeah, nothing "special" but not an atrocity either. I even laughed at Homer getting stuck in the auditorium seat even though it was telegraphed from a mile away.

This one was decent, some legit laughs. One of the better efforts of the season IMO.

Exactly, at least they had a little fun with the guy as opposed to that Gaga debacle.

Somewhat sycophantic, I suppose. But all in all halfway decent.

That's too bad. I love "Stratosfear".

Like hell it isn't.

BOB died too.

Me too, Shelley will always be MY Miss Twin Peaks.

Right now you're mired in the worst of the worst episodes. It's worth it to get to the last one, though, which is easily one of the best (and by far the weirdest) episodes of the series.

A "B" grade? Holy shit, must have been the WORST EPISODE EVER!
