Maybe getting Coop back will be the driving motivation behind the fan base demanding a season 4!

But….. what IS the smoke monster???

Careful. That milk'll cool on you. . . (i don't see any option for a thumbs-up icon)

Wow. Then again, is this surprising? There will probably come a time when the maximum running time for a film will be about 20 minutes. That will be all humans will be able to handle. And unlike Idiocracy, i do not set this state of affairs hundreds of years into the future. As we all have learned, that future is…

Have yet to watch Hannibal. I know, i know. It's in the queue. . . .

Yep. So that kinda puts a dent in that theory. . .

There's Nothing Good About It.

Do you see creamed corn on that plate? "surviving on garmonbozia" I guess, in a sense, we're all trying to do that. . . agent desmond vanished from there as well. . .

i thought of that last night for the first time. however, I'm still upset to learn the frenzied ice pick attack was not actually real either!

It only ends once. . .

In some ways, doesn't it seem Cooper's Vegas world that surrounds him is acting even more surreal than HE is? i.e. no-one actually acknowledging he should be in a facility of some sort. Perhaps, as someone else here mentioned earlier, none of it is "real," or at least the reality we are waiting for him to return to. …

dunno. maybe something to do with a deadly combination of punctuation marks, triggering some kind of automated spam alert? Maybe you've come too close to the truth and Rancho Rosa productions has blacked your comment out!

They'd see a much younger Harry Dean, but probably would have much the same reaction. Antonioni's "The Passenger" would probably lull them into a coma, from which no amount of Fasts And Furiouses could ever nudge them out of.

So he's gone from one state of inertia into yet another—with slightly more mobility, i guess. it is conceivable, but a concrete "waking from a dream" to be Real Cooper again almost seems way too spelled out and tangibly coherent for a lynch narrative. we shall see….. maybe. . . .

So THIS is where he went in between landing on the island and visiting Richard Alpert in the Others' tentworld. . . but before he was shot by his mother, before she gave birth to him. And a brief stint attempting to invoke helter skelter. His arc is now complete.

Kafka's Playground. Now there's a great band name. . .

Trying to remember. The riff made use of a whammy bar, didn't it?

He may well just continue to avoid harm, all mr. magoo-like, due to the new clairvoyance he's gained since emerging through the electrical outlet. Annnddd that's a sentence one can only utter when attempting to analyze yet another david lynch vehicle.

But "What's Happening!!" would. . . .

Did he say "Richard And Linda. Two birds With One Stone?" Richard Horne?
