I think part of the issue with this episode is I was emotionally investing in being both Capaldi and Mackie's final episode.

Really the pacing was the biggest complaint I had. The story once we get to WW1 just seems to meander from location to location without any real sense of escalating threat or coherency. Diana's story doesn't really develop a deeper subtext till the final 20 minutes.

Seems kind of surprising given that House of Cards has reached creator departing late showtime levels of pointlessness and will prolly run 17 seasons…..

I watched part of 3-4 again this evening and while Wally Brando is the most egregious example, SO MUCH of the pacing could only happen in a Lynch production.

Well he threw some feces against the wall last night.

"Old man has half-formed opinion about things. Nevertheless feels the need to share."

Pretty much the only production on the planet where a child would be unironically called "sonny Jim" is a David lynch production. Is he part demon ghost jewel too? Or is he just the same robot child from Extant?

I was old enough to appreciate the very end when it aired: but netflixed the entire Cheers series and it's something I can recommend for anyone looking for a comedy to stream.

Childish got out when the getting was good, and arguably Shelly Longs departure is the only thing that kept Cheers going more than 6 or so seasons.

He'll trade it to jian -yang for some magic beans (or a lot of weed)

I've seen plenty of 13 year olds wearing a nirvana logo.

MSNBC is prolly the least objectionable of the three (don't support propaganda and I refuse to give a channel run by Jeff Zucker views).

I have to stop watching this show before bed. If not for the flash forward at the end of episode 1, I'd say all my favorite characters committed suicide tonight.

Really wish some MRA/red pill types would embrace Islam.

Unquestionably agreed:

I for one always took the ending of the original series to be less a cliffhanger than an ending (coop finally being corrupted by all of the evil lurking at the heart of the town). The David Bowie scene in FWWM I always took as weird for the sake of weird-that didn't necessarily have a human logic explanation.

The most shocking thing about this episode wasn't the brain tree, or the black box monster (holy shit), or evil coop, or the gruesome violence ABC never got to touch, or Laura pulling off her face, or how great everyone still looks, or the realization that Lynch is still LIGHT YEARS ahead of his contemporaries,…

Apparently the same person is in charge of booking acts…
