Yeah that's a great movie.

Greed and authoritarianism don't even have to be separated, which makes the primate's argument even weirder.

More likely, IMO, that ISIS would quickly wipe out the Nazis. ISIS are trained fighters who - in this eventuality - would be fighting on their own turf. The frat boy racists are really not up to the task of defending themselves from that sort of militant group.

If the show makes it explicit that Sarah is that girl, then I'll believe it.

According to people who have read stuff like the "Secret History," Sarah was born in 1945. So 11 in '56.

The character would have been 11.

Not a bad guess.

And Diane Ladd.

I saw someone on Twitter saying there's a beeping - like a hospital heart monitor - underneath everything else on the soundtrack in that scene. Haven't gone back to check myself. So there might be a very subtle detail that plays into the "Audrey in a coma?" theory.

I took it as a visual metaphor for how their return to Jackrabbit's Palace - and the events preceding it with the portal - has been seemingly wiped from their memory. They actually did walk back to the tree, but they were in a phased-out daze due to their exposure to the different realm.

MIKE and the Arm used to be evil, but they've renounced those ways (MIKE before the Arm did). That's why they hang out permanently in the Red Room - they aren't pure enough to get into the White Lodge, due to their background, but they don't want to be with BOB and the Woodsmen in the evil realm either.

The Fireman puts out the fire. Maybe that reading is too straightforward, but I thought the name made sense for that reason.

It probably smells normal. The glove IS his hand.

Yep! It's really a shame because Tommy Lee Jones would've crushed the brooding Two-Face persona.

Yeah, that's my sticking point.

I did mean Sarah. D'oh! Stayed up too late last night.

Yep, and while that girl was young she read as older than 11 to me. Also, wasn't the girl in '56 Hispanic?

Many have pointed it out, but three of Dafoe's best roles are as unambiguous good guys: Elias in Platoon, Jesus in The Last Temptation of Christ and Klaus in the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I'm a fan of his villainous roles - you never forget Bobby Peru - but he nails sympathetic roles, as well.

Loneliness comes back as a theme again and again.

A terrible end awaits Chad with the forces swirling around him in there.
