She might have just become disillusioned by mankind and figured that if she couldn't help last time, she couldn't do anything this time either.

Yes, there was a very subtle shift in his expression there too that made me think the Old Coop had returned for the moment. I don't think it'll be a full on transition just yet, but I definitely think he'll be at least a little more like his old self now.

Yeah, I'm just like… "Duh". Lynch's imagery and grasp of the surreal is impeccable, but ultimately what makes his films so unique and brilliant is the way he contextualizes them (or doesn't) within the boundaries of a narrative.

The order of scenes in this episode was actually pretty damn important (NIN concert aside), almost all of the scenes had some kind of cause/effect impact on each other or were connected in some way.

I feel like what keeps a lot of Lynch's most experimental work from feeling like "student film stuff" for me is that he's so brilliant at contextualizing it in the narrative. The purely experimental, imagery for it's own sake thing is a perfectly valid form of art, but only holds my interest for so long.

I think there's always too many people voting below an A for it to get a full A grade. Who knows how the average is calibrated though… I assume that a single A- grade wouldn't be enough to throw it off.

Because the fact that Perry raped Jane contributed to the heat of the moment? It's a pretty huge stretch though, given that it's not clear the other women (especially Bonnie) would even have realized that until later.

There are actually 30 episodes of the original Twin Peaks by the way, not 22. There are 22 episodes in Season 2, and Lynch directed four of them… he directed six episodes of the series total.

Yeah it is really strange that Lynch would make Jeffries and Maj. Briggs big parts of the plot but not want to include Desmond in any way, especially given all the loose ends he's wrapping up from FWWM.

I love having those sequences close out each episode, it feels like kind of a release at the end. There are lots of scenes in the show that don't really progress the story, I don't see why the closing credits have to.

Hm, interesting. There was a "Bing" in the credits listing though.

I'd be veeeeeery surprised if a Bowie scene had been kept under wraps, but this has been probably the most successfully secretive production in history…

Only four episodes actually, ep 1 ended by showing the "listen to the sounds" sequence again over the credits.

Heather Graham wasn't listed as part of the cast. Though interesting that no one said Annie was dead or anything. The Missing Pieces show that she had the ring after leaving the Black Lodge and that it was taken by a nurse, which could be significant…

It was actually "Bing", who seems to have been the man Andy was meeting with.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I seem to remember a scene at a party that suggested this really seedy gay underworld, and that was filmed in a pretty villainizing fashion.

Stone was only 45 when he made JFK though, which pretty much straight up villainizes gay people and depicts them as weird and creepy.

I don't know, I still can't think of another series that's just as diverse as this one, or one that focuses so heavily on lower class social issues. And there's nothing that examines the social situation of prisoners and ex-prisoners like this series. I still think it's pretty "necessary" and unlike anything else on…

Arrow has almost twice as many episodes per season as OitNB does though, so it's kind of a moot point.

Personally I found it far scarier, more visually memorable, and more interesting than It Follows.
