Ughh, killjoys. The Danish language rocks!

Meaning that it's great or boring?

And some Gaelic lessons!

"Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, Margaret Thatcher…"

Dunno about that. Weren't the roaring 20s kind a forerunner to both the women's lib and the sexual revolution of the 60s? The flapper very much aligned to our current idea of a 'modern woman'.

Jamie does have a tiny beard

"And also, come on, Claire gets forced to marry the dashing outlaw who of course wants to marry her?"

Danish, not Norwegian.

"they've managed to feature penises in a way that not even Game of Thrones has yet matched."

Haven't seen Masters, but Rectify, The Americans and OB are all such winners because they are unafraid to be completely distinct. They are completely uninterested in playing to formula.

Kudos to the actress for doing the best she can with the role though. She does wide-eyed spunk in such a fresh way that it almost makes you forget about the trope

The best work and the best actors today are in cable TV. It offers creative interest + stable income + enough off time to do other projects + manageable level of fame without overexposure (except for a couple of very big shows). Seems like a sweet deal to any working class actor and increasingly movie stars too.

"where does all the repression and rage come from that will lead him to murder any woman he's attracted to?"

"If Lynch had had his way, there would have never been an answer to the
question because, in his mind, the question didn't matter. A unique way
to approach serial drama, to say the least."

Absolutely agree. It was a show with a 'take it or leave it' vibe like the rest of Lynch's work. If it appealed to you, you didn't so much watch it as sank into it. So many of its images are permanently burnt into my brain. Which is why I will never, ever have a ceiling fan in my dwelling…;-)

Norma's handbag violence reminded me so much of my own mother that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry..

The sheer brazen originality and audacity of Twin Peaks left me in awe when I watched it a couple of years back. It's very flawed in chunks of S2, but honestly, I've never seen anything quite like it on TV despite the influences it had on God knows how many other shows. But then again, I AM a Lynch fan.

Unlike Dylan, this girl can actually act so that wouldn't be so bad

Does anyone else have a problem with the show's sudden love of brutal violence, particularly torture this season? I find it hard to take, particularly when they spliced that beating with the song. I almost quit on the show because of the exposed brain part.

Carter never had a plan cause it was Gillian's pregnancy that caused the mythology storyline in the first place. He was scrambling to save the show from sinking while the lead actress was gone for a several eps and then was too weak health-wise to do much normal acting for while after.
