This is possibly the most asinine argument I’ve ever read against automating balls and strikes. The strike zone is defined by the rulebook. The rules say nothing about a ball in the zone not being a strike because the pitcher missed his spot, nor should they, as it would be injecting a completely unnecessary…

Same. “Shadow” was already one of my favorite songs of the last few years. It blew my mind when they started playing it. I had never made the connection before that they were essentially doing a Julee Cruise song with that track, but it was PERFECT for the show and for that exact moment in the show. It felt like Lynch…

It looked like a little glowing seed fell off the rock after Richard disappeared, but Mr. C didn’t go after it, whatever it was.

Is the drunk drooling scorched oil or is it meant to be blood and slobber? The woodsman above the convenience store appears to have oil all over his chin.

I assumed she meant The Experiment/Mother, the symbol for which appeared above one of the mountains on Hawk's map.

She has done a fantastic job, especially given how challenging this particular show must be to review.

Yes, hospital basement iirc.

The Theresa Banks murder in particular seems like it was at least as much about Leland's self-interest as about Bob's direction.

>I don't think that EM is also the frogbug, because you see it hatch from an egg that EM vomited up.

Before this episode I thought the bug crawling into the girl's mouth was just meant to be an evocative, nightmarish image that connects with many of the themes of that episode and the series as a whole, i.e. the end of innocence due to inviting a new evil into the world (building the atomic bomb). I seriously doubted…

So far it shapes up as his masterpiece. Can he stick the landing though? I have full confidence.

The way I am thinking about the roadhouse vignettes has to do with a passage from Infinite Jest that talks about "figurants," which are the extras on a TV show that sit around and silently mouth fake conversations at each other. The example given is the random extras in the "Cheers" bar. And the passage is from the…

It was pretty absurd. Total callback to the scene from the pilot where Mike and Bobby bark at James.

Sarah doesn't react to the glitches in the audio she's hearing either. Maybe the residents of Twin Peaks have become accustomed to time being f'ed up.

I also felt like there were slight variations in the audio that was looping.

I agree. I think the "something in my kitchen" last episode was Sarah in a different timeline. Like the scene in Inland Empire where Justin Theroux investigates the noise in the soundstage and later in the movie we learn it was Laura Dern's character in a different timeline.

They may have opened the tube right away, but they STILL haven't visited the coordinates it pointed them to!

Not sure I understand the negative reactions to Audrey's demeanor. We're meant to know basically nothing about her marriage or her life or what she's upset about…so why would we be judging her negatively for any of it? Seems like there's something about a woman being angry at a man that makes people uncomfortable.…

I think that's totally fair. I also think Lynch has an affinity for actors who give slightly stilted performances because it can add to the dreamlike quality of his work. See also Naomi Watts, an amazing actress intentionally playing well over the top in the first two thirds of Mulholland Dr as well as TP The Return.

He was fantastic. What a genius, out-of-nowhere casting choice.
