I didn't appreciate what a great actor he is until this series. He is playing both roles so effortlessly and he adds all these little touches that make Dougie more than just the joke he could easily be. And the scene at the end with the statue was poignant in large part due to him (and the score).

I had to laugh at Jacoby being a Beck/Jones bunko artist. It was absolutely perfect, and so were the people watching him. I smiled when I saw Nadine again, beautiful as ever, and likely just as haunted. I wish that she and Mike returning in the same episode meant she stayed with him rather than returning to that awful…

I didn't get that impression with Norma and Shelly. I took them as supportive friends and Norma still worrying about Shelly, the way she always did.

I feel bad about his wife but his bizarre OTT reaction to people daring to criticize Trevor Noah always sticks with me when I think of him. That and the OTT reaction to that very mild-mannered review of the new Ghostbusters from Angry Video Game Nerd.

I read an article saying that this scene worked because it bookended the Bobby weeping over Laura scene, a complete contrast to it. Lynch has done this before (the James singing/Bob hallucination scene) so I can see that being the case.

I liked that bit with Andy and Lucy - it was awkward, and suffocating, but I thought it was nice to see loving parents in the TP universe that other than Doc Hayward is littered with disaster areas. Season 2 Lucy I could have seen becoming a harridan as a mother but I'm glad to be wrong.

I'd say maybe she is tied to Lana Milford but I don't think Lynch was a big fan of that period…

I didn't know that about the guy with James. It's nice Lynch is giving unknowns a chance that way, especially as it seems like the Youtube vlog culture is slowly choking itself out.

Donna probably would have started crying. Or smoking. Or both.

Whenever I see him I still think of Brodie on Homicide. I wish more HLOTS actors worked with Lynch. I would have loved seeing Melissa Leo on this show.

It's interesting hearing people talk about scenes that did or didn't seem like filler or felt out of place, because so far the only scenes that felt that intrusive to me (even though I knew they had a purpose) were the Ruth Davenport scenes. I know it will be important later on, but I was so distracted by how…

It made more sense to me after the movie but on the show, yeah, it was a bit confusing and pointless.

That's how I tend to see it too, when I hear criticism of the police set being more mocking or not as friendly. I think it's meant to be that way, because without Coop or Harry, it just wouldn't be, unless they made Frank Truman a clone of his brother, which would have been disrespectful to Harry and to what Ontkean…

The movie is the best use of James.

There's always been something strange in Twin Peaks and also people working to keep a close eye on it. I imagine that's why there are still efforts made to keep the town bustling.

I think if they'd recast Denise it would have just been even more confusing and caused more controversy and backlash overshadowing the character's progress. I would say that they should have brought in trans actors for other roles though.

I think the scene with the cop sneering about Hawk and the Log Lady was done to show how out of touch the new group are with the ways of the town. The scenes with Hawk and the Log Lady, which were done when Catherine Coulson was in her last days (she passed away only a few days after filming them), were done with a…

I really love the singing scene. Not because of his singing, but because of what the scene is about. It lulls you into the mundane (Donna's jealousy over James and Maddy) and then when you think it's over, Maddy has a vision of Bob slowly crawling toward her, ending with him lunging at the camera. It's one of the most…

I thought her presence there was most than just about gender roles - it was to show us how far she'd come in her career and as a person. It was a bit clunky in needing to remind us of Gordon (the white straight man that dominates the narrative) and his tolerance helped pave the way for her, but we also saw that she…

At the time I didn't mind it because I thought it was from Shelly's point of view. Shelly was lonely and unhappy and Gordon made her smile. I'm not sure how I'd feel now as the new show has a different tone.
