It’s too bad that you’re missing Lynch’s masterpiece.

Unlike the original series, which completely wiffs keeping interest in the ongoing plot threads after Laura’s killer is revealed in “Lonely Souls”,

To be fair, The AV Club had absolutely no say in the matter. It was The Onion itself being purchased by Univision that sis everything in. Honestly (and no offense to AV Club), I’m pretty sure that Univision would never have purchased them to begin with — they were after The Onion itself, and Clickhole. They had no…

Yeah... the AV Club screwed up big by allying itself with Kinja and the Gizmodo network. It clearly hasn’t done much for reader participation, anyway.

“The biggest disappointment of “Say Anything” is the way it sweeps the blackmail plot out of the way. [...] The writers were going for something when they introduced it, but as an ongoing arc it never achieved its true potential.”

AV Club writes an article detailing a Buzzfeed Gif article. AV Club has officially gone to dogshite. I’m out, friends

I know this is going to be controversial, but I don’t think that Jared Leto was a good Joker. Further, I think he was a bad Joker.

Fuck a fadeout. Just write an ending, you lazy ass.

Yes, Blue Velvet starts microscopically small too, highlighting the point that violence exists in the smallest of places.

I consider this the first good episode. I was really surprised by the twist at the end, and it was the first indication that this was a different kind of show.

50MM was the first episode I watched and it’s still my favorite. I knew where it would go but it didn’t stop it from being a punch to the gut. (I’m so glad I didn’t start with the pig episode.) Totally agree on most overrated and least favorite.

That dinner party really felt like something a teenager would consider cool.

Very good point about the reverse structure of Twin Peaks: The Return vs. the original series. Does that mean we end with Laura Palmer? “She’s dead. Wrapped in plastic.”

Good on Skrein. The producers sound like morons.

He’s turning down Japanese, I think he’s turning down Japanese, I really think so.

The “hopefully very end?” I would be on board for another season if it had anywhere near this one’s quality. 

I come here for the sparkling commentary. I stay for the never-ending Kinja burns. Kinja is terrible. The new AV Club layout is an absolute disaster.

Not “Fire, Walk with Me” first?

I think most town subplots are like snapshots of Twin Peaks this time around - little vignettes floating in and around the core storyline of Coop’s journey back to himself and the town, which is why most of them are much more truncated than in the original series. They give us just enough with Ed, Norma, Nadine,…

I was a bit grumpy in my post about the new music featured, but ultimately I’m with you on this one - at least every episode guarantees a band I’ve probably not heard of before, which is never a bad thing :D
