If you've ever lost touch with someone and then really wanted to get back in touch and then greatly regretted making the effort to connect once it happened this Audrey scene should have some resonance.

There was a Spike Jones record where Doodles Weaver (I think) stops the song to pick up the phone and keeps repeating. "You don't say!" You DON'T say!"
When he hangs up the band shouts "Who was it?"
And Doodles says "He didn't say".
Then they go back into the song.

Nah, i'm loving the acts at the Roadhouse. Was kinda disappointed we didn't get to one last night but that audacious long shot of the diner over the distorted Sleepwalk. (Sleepwalk as a commentary?) let alone that equally audacious long shot of somebody sweeping up a bar while Green Onions plays in its totality

Hey, I get the premise. I'm even down with it when it comes to other foods (sometimes I want the tasted of a burger, sometimes I want a Big Mac. They're two different foods to me) but Pizza Hut?!?

Damn, now I'm going to have to watch some of this episode again. And I REALLY don't want to watch any of of this episode again.

And so Rick doesn't grab it before he takes a flying leap at a hanging zombie?

Either there were two axes or the director, set designers, editors and continuity folk somehow missed that there was an axe laying down next to Rick. It's not a big thing but it's indicative of how unfocused this show is when it's not about gore and brutality.

I was looking for a discussion but I petered out before I could find it. If it's a continuity error it's pretty glaring since the whole sequence is hinged on "get me my ax" power games. If it's something else, beats me what it could be.

At the risk of being seen as stupid amongst the great minds here, a question. Negan doesn't kill Rick but takes him for a zombie joyride instead, right? (Makes no sense, but sure, let's swallow that.) Throws an ax out into the fog of zombies and says "Get my ax!" like the dick he is and throws Rick after it. Rick

Hey, I understand, really. But I liked that Twin Peaks didn't resolve it's murder in the first season and preferred the second season when it got bored with being a television show and finally did resolve that murder in its own sweet time. To quote Hunter S. Thompson, "It never got weird enough for me."

I think the people here who want things neatly wrapped up or some kind of EXPLANATION, goddam it! are going to be disappointed next week. Unfortunately I think that's most of the audience.
Me, I'm all in, baby. I don't need my art (there, I said the word) to be linear, or to tie everything up in a neat bow, or even

Great observation! (BTW, IMHO Room 237 is the best movie about movies I've seen. Makes me not feel so bad for sitting through The Shining trying to get scared.

My guess-and it's only a guess as is everything by now-is that Dom, confronting her loneliness and the futility of hunting down the "bad guys" when it's the last thing the FBI wants to do now considering the 3 trillion dollar love fest between China, the USA & ECorp, decides to throw in her lot with what's left of

Brilliant, heartbreaking episode through and through.
But some of the details made this odd thought click in my brain. What if Vanessa Ives has never left the hospital? What if all of this from Season One up until now are the imaginings of a recently lobotomized, clinically insane, well educated woman around the

That opening tracking shot was a brilliant little homage to Touch Of Evil-one long take covering the Mexico/U.S. border. No Charlton Heston or bomb but beautifully done.

I was thinking the same thing this morning. While dramatically I love the idea of the two of them working semi-together I see her being much more pragmatic: Working for "Howard by another name" until she gets her footing, the loans get paid off, and a potential client list emerges. Then I see her making her move,

I dunno. The first one kind of worked for me. This one most definitely did not, despite some great moments. I liked the fact that the first episode acknowledged all the time that had passed, that Mulder and Scully were not the same people they were before. That Mulder's off the wall theories had now become

As for Vince, I defy anyone to carry off a line like, "Do you know the word 'louche'? " and make it sound menacing.

It was welcome and exhilirating for me because of the moody, turgid atmosphere this show has been wallowing in. It jolted the show into life for a while and was oppressively relentless(and that's meant as a compliment).

Because the elements are there for this to be really rich. The actors, directors, and show runner have all done great work before. So even though some scenes play like rehearsals where the actors are trying to get a handle on their characters and the director is figuring out what the scene is about there's enough
