I love that Lynch didn't just play on the exact same vibes as the first series. One thing that was really notable is how much less music there is (except for the roadhouse scenes), but the natural sound/quietness makes a number of the scenes much, much creepier.

Diane, I'm holding in my hand a small box of immortal bunnies.

Let's go through this: Cyrus was going to be vice-president, so he arranged for Luna to have Peus have Frankie killed.

Puns, again??!! Why, iota smack some sense into the lot of ya.

I have had it with these motherfucking bunnies on this motherfucking plane!

There's slow-burn and then there's stalling and needless repetition. The Americans is one of my favorite shows, but last night— and to an extension some of this season— is trying my patience, not because I don't like slow build-up but because a fair number of recent dialogue scenes genuinely don't feel to me like…
