Well, I hope Walton wasn’t seriously hurt when he “took a roll” in _Ant Man and The Wasp_

It was so satisfying to hear the original theme play over our special agent’s full awakening, although I thought it was. Ironic that the show’s glacial pace accelerated right there. If anything in America doesn’t move quickly, it’s getting Discharged from the hospital.

Bushnell...give me some of those sandwiches. I’m starving.

This is a cogent analysis, particularly in its focus on time and mortality across the world of the show and the ravaged faces of its original characters. Since music itself creates much of our nostalgic desperation for our misspent youths (and technology hasn’t yet been able to add the olfactory to its palette of…

I don’t know much about Kinja, Roy; I wish I did.

In the original series Mike (I think) says that "only the gifted and the damned can see the face of Bob." At the time, I assumed that meant Laura and Maddy (as damned) and Sarah as the gifted (Cooper at that time being the only other person besides Leland whom we were aware had seen Bob's face, I think, and now I…

Right! I think I was mixing it up with the blank face of the hoooded figure glimpsed several times in the original series

The jailhouse scene, Naida, Chad, and probably Billy (?), immediately evoked an iconic memory of the pilot — Mike and Bobby barking maniacally when James is brought in.

Do I remember correctly that Jeffries' dialogue "Who do think this is here?" is from the missing pieces? In the theatrical cut, I seem to recall that he doesn't say anything.

Although we have all been in awe of Lynch's direction and sound direction throughout, I just cannot stop thinking about the absolute mastery of both in episode 14 where all of his trademark styles and signatures seemed to be working at "peak" levels. I loved it all, particularly this time the sound work — witness the…

I'm sure someone pointed this out, but remember that Laura similarly removed her face in episode 1/2 to reveal a blank star field of some kind.

The next time Shakespeare used the image of Time’s scythe is in “The Lover’s Complaint,” the poem that follows, per tradition, the entire 154 sonnet cycle. The line is “Time had not scythed all that youth began…Some beauty peep’d through lattice of sear’d age.” Redemption arrives for some. Episode 11’s Bobby…

For other characters, the scythe has cut out parts and left blanks and horrors in their place – time has CHANGED them and mostly for the worse. In episode 12, the three most affecting scenes show us this: 1) truly breathtaking work from Grace Zabriskie as the accumulated toll of Leland/Laura/Vodka and living under…

Near the end of Sonnet 12 Shakespeare writes: “And nothing ‘gainst Time’s scythe can make defense…” I want to make the case that episodes 11 and especially 12, with all of their vignettes of impression demonstrate why Lynch and Frost could never indulge in fan service nostalgia. Across the two episodes, whenever we…

Does Dougie dream?
Does Doppel-Cooper even sleep, never mind dream?
The Log Lady tells Hawk (in another wrenching communique), “Watch and listen to the dream of time and space. It all comes out now, flowing like a river, that which is and is not. Hawk, Laura is the one.” This is, of course, a message for us as well. …

I feel like I've seen much longer comments before though. Perhaps you are right. Maybe I should break them into several sections, if I ever have as much to say about an episode in the future.

I give up, lol. It seems like my reposted version has been entirely removed. I am really perplexed. I have surely seen longer comments (to touch on Phaedrusync's point above. I am unclear as to how they have the authority to remove someone's legitimate comment (we've all seen truly offensive screeds and actual spam…

I'm unsure of the netiquette here ( and apologies to Fresno Bob for appending this to his comment, but several people have pointed out that they cannot comment on my post. It's been two days and neither discus nor the moderator(s) have removed the "marked as spam" restriction on it, so I decided to repost it here in…

D'oh. Thanks so much. I've told discus it isn't spam but they haven't fixed it yet. I can't believe I didn't proof more carefully for basic name errors. I like Emily's reviews as well.
