I expect you're right about that, and I should be glad it isn't this century new, because I don't think I could bear the portmanteaux. "Belly," and "Edna," etc, I imagine. Blech! But I do not grudge people their interest and excitement about them; I'm interested, too, just not as the gushy type.

Off the top of my head, not a lot, but they keep showing us dates. I will probably sit here and go through them all, but I'm not ready for that just yet. A big one that sets up some sort of structure to be determined later is that they find the capsule in the Briggs easy chair on Sept. 29, and in another episode refer…

I have a few thoughts regarding a lot of talk I saw last night at Twitter and the /r/ place, which I found puzzling. People seem to have just noticed the entire time spent in Twin Peaks is occurring out of order. This puzzles me, because there are dates shown in nearly every episode, and they are not in calendar…

It looks like macaroni and cheese to me.

I'm glad someone else thought the same, that they didn't even seem like they were in the room together. It was kind of painful. It reminded me a little of the TV show Passions, only with a lot of cursing and no humor.

I do see what you mean, and I'm not looking for really whacked out alternative theories. But I can't like the Mr. C dad bit at least in terms of the coma scenario. I might see her being seduced by him a little later on.

Thank you for remembering Paul. Someone has to, or no one will.

#TeamJoan forever.

Just like The Silence in Doctor Who…

I'm thinking for a rewatch that it can be arranged in chunks, like two hours here, three hours there. I'd want 7 and 8 together, and 9 and 10; possibly 11 will go better with 10 or better with 12. Etcetera.

In case you're serious, I would judge each situation on its own terms. In the situation of a surreal TV drama, in which a woman has absolutely no idea her husband is a different person than he was a few days ago, for reasons we do not fully understand or possess, I would say it depends largely on what we did not…

But not Dave, apparently.

A few of my kids uncovered the original series when they were teenagers, older teens, I guess, and that seemed fine. But what kids don't tend to realize is that even if they "understand" something, it still doesn't mean they're really ready for it. They all reach those points at different times, though.

You gotta pick your battles.

Good to know; I'll have a look.

That's too bad! The young one is very into film-making details, and loves to think about how it's all put together. Each Sunday we get fully ready for our show to ensure no interruptions, and if someone dares make us pause the narrative, look out.

If he did, that's extra intriguing now. Briggs really was just everything.

That was also the year I conceived my youngest son, who is now watching the revival with me, nearly as obsessively. It's all of a piece, I'm sure.

Mind now blown as well. I just looked her up and learned she wrote a book about her life in the fast lane back in the days.

Did you see that it actually said COOPER/COOPER/COO up to the edge of the paper?
