i like your analysis a lot. Again and again the show returns to commenting on itself (“Starting position is more comfortable.”) Even FWWM begins with smashing a TV. I’m sharing your insights (crediting you) with my FB group, Twin Peaks: The Return: The Discussion Group. I hope that’s ok. Join us if you want to discuss…

There are theories that she was dreaming the whole season and that the shot of her in the mirror is the only shot of the real world. I don’t think it’s true but I do think that she’s more important than what she seemed.

Just some random observations:

Just looking at the scene for what’s there, it’s not pointless at all. That was the face of the man who raped her, if not the man himself, so it doesn’t surprise me that she covered it with her hands. It was an extremely vulnerable, uncomfortable scene, as it should have been and illuminated Diane’s psychology…

that’s pretty funny, it’s kinda like saddling a perfectly find website with kinja

Marks off for not inserting a record scratch when Max says “...and I’m in love with you.” We would also have accepted a dog reaction shot.

Slightly embarrassing confession time: when I moved down to LA, I lived in an area that hosted tons of movie premieres (usually a couple every week) and I made it a hobby to go to them. Among my observations about actors:

Don’t forget his turn as a sort of Medieval knight/Robin Hood-hybrid in Krull!

It’s the ultimate suburban dad fantasy.

*reassembles out of blood and guts like that scene from Hellraiser*

Oh dear god I hope so. You can’t imagine how much time I spent on here reading TV club articles from 7 years ago. I sure hope the tv show finder drop down returns too.

All these comments will be lost...like tears in rain.

I liked io9, though. That’s the one I really cared about.

I like that they don’t trust us enough to be ungreyed on the gawker sites that like 80% of posters have no interest in

Welcome! You’ll hate it here.
