Someone had a wild theory about Diane's style in one episode having to do with significant colors in alchemy but I'm inclined to think that's just coincidence. At the same time, it's incredibly distinctive and odd, so who knows. Definitely one of the most memorable bits of costume design I've ever seen.

He's a kind of moral/spiritual center for the show, which justifies pretty much any scene involving him.

He takes a lot of crap for being overly emotional and too much of a teenager but I think he always was one of the best and most central characters. His role in the new season feels relatively close to what I would have envisioned for him.

Protect Tammy at all costs, from the haters on one hand and any supernatural threats on the other. Though, none of the other names on that list are actually dead as far as we know, and Albert's still fine, so correlation is not causation here .

For some reason I was confining myself to the original run. I like both of those a lot.

There were some very good scenes and probably more forward movement than is immediately obvious (Jerry getting out of the forest is going to end up being just momentous, I tell you!), but yeah, I found myself a little frustrated with it at times. That gratuitous scene actually irritated me in terms of the way it was

Best episodes: "Lonely Souls" and the season 2 finale.

A lot of this episode struck me as fairly overt trolling, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but left me feeling more ambivalent than usual.

"This cannot continue" has to be one of the great early game setpieces, I think, even if it's not where the narrative truly gets complicated.

Hmm, and Lynch said if Frank Booth had a tattoo, it would have been "Fire Walk With Me", and after the most recent episode, we learned that the concepts of fire and electricity are linked if not identical from a supernatural perspective.

Well, I actually think the original series did a great job of making the entire main cast, with some exceptions like Hank and Leo, kind of intriguingly gray, especially for a show almost fundamentally dualistic in other ways. The new series is less democratic than that but it also seems to have less obvious character

It's not exactly the most precise description, but you could definitely loosely describe Wally Brando as a beatnik, and see Red and to a lesser extent Dicky Horne as representing alternative and darker forms of 50's nostalgia, so it's not entirely wrong, no. As much of a laugh riot as his scene was, I think Brando's

Those damn kids and their rock and roll

You won't regret it, man. Or, at least, I hope not. I've only played Automata but I love how all Yoko Taro's stories seem like the wildest and most twisted shit imaginable.

Hey, for whatever reason my app wouldn't let me see any of your most recent snaps before deleting them

Soderbergh just hates amplifying women's voices.

Uhhh, that's definitely not actually what happened. I am definitely not an immortal being that turned into a cat during the German Romantic era and allowed E.T.A Hoffman to borrow my manuscript. How dare you suggest such things.

Look, that kid did nothing wrong. He was just practicing how to use one of the most essential tools in defending our American liberties.

I'm sure you've had customers like that!

I got rather annoyed at someone suggesting Becky might as well not have been in the show at all after Episode 10, as if all her appearances were going to be as truncated. None of these storylines strike me as insignificant, and a lot of the ones people are inclined to dismiss as sideshows seem to be increasingly
