Yes. His face was fully developed in the egg. He already existed.

See? If you expanded your consciousness a little more you wouldn't feel that way. Open your mind Reika and see more than you can see right now. Your mind seems to be trapped in a painful box. Maybe understanding other ways of thinking would help you see the world in a sweeter way?

Think of that scene a few episodes ago when Cooper was in his boss's office. His boss was capable of abstract thought and that is the only reason he was able to see the message that Cooper wrote. A boss that wasn't capable of abstract thought would have just fired Cooper and never found out about the illegal…

Do you walk through the great art galleries of the world and say the same thing about all the other art you don't understand?

He apparently watched Eraserhead over 70 times.

I don't think the sequence was 'lifted.' Sometimes artists that do something really well 'own' the whole feeling in the public's imagination and any time another artist goes there, the public can't seem to conceive that the artist didn't imagine it themselves. Actually a lot of film-makers get unjustly compared to…

Leland was always aware because he said to Laura, "I thought you always knew?!" That implies that he always knew.

It could easily have been something Leland was making up, trying to throw them off him.

When was it stated that Leland was a good man?
He was never forgiven either.
You say the people that commit those crimes weren't extraordinarily evil?
If you are saying "the people that commit those crimes are not extraordinarily evil," why are you uncomfortable that Leland might be forgiven?
Are people that rape their…

I don't think Leland was considered by Lynch as not responsible. He still lives in the Black Lodge. He's damned, possibly for eternity.
Perhaps you are too young to be affected by the nuclear bomb element. If you watch Eraserhead there is a photo of a nuclear bomb on Henry's wall so it is a theme that Lynch has used…

It's funny how some people consider this show to be an endurance test, in parts at least. I don't, but I commend those people that keep watching. I can compare that to novels that I found rewarding but were hard work at times to get through.

"Self indulgent" is a term that is used to dismiss the whole idea of art. People could walk through The Louvre or the Metropolitan art museum and dismiss most of the greatest works of our culture to be self indulgence.

You seem like you would prefer entertainment that has passed the scrutiny of test audiences rather than auteur visionaries. The whole point of an auteur director is that it doesn't reflect the zeitgeist but instead reflects the personal vision of a director.

Yeah, some people have strange reactions to Lynch movies! I remember after watching Fire Walk With Me, my brother and I were in the washroom and this guy started telling us that it was a terrible movie and he is mad at his girlfriend for making him see the movie. My brother and I didn't say much because he was…

The scene where his boss looks at Cooper's work at first thinking it is idiotic and then realizing it is brilliant is maybe Lynch explaining how people could see his movies. At first it may seem to some people as random, even laughable for the wrong reason, but if they looked past their preconceptions and really…

Lynch's movies are really far out but the ideas under it all relate to all of our lives, I think, more so than most other directors.

We will see. I like guessing and change my opinions of the directions the story will take each week. I think the idea of Evil Coop visiting her is really dramatic. I'm sure Lynch can think up something very disturbing for Coop to do. Twin Peaks taps into the feelings of personal responsibility and being blamed for…

I don't know… when I see a character cough in the first scene, I think he's going to die later. There may be some dramatic potential for Harry to die.

It could actually serve a better dramatic purpose that he isn't in the show though. If he dies before Cooper gets to Twin Peaks it will be a real bummer for Coop. That sounds kind of crappy but it goes with the theme of the show of people being aged and damaged.

Oddly though, people may remember feeling the place more. I think Lynch really understands how to give a sense of place to a film. THat's one of his special qualities. It's really important to his film-making, so a scene that may seem boring may be actually serving a purpose to the whole.
