It's been a great pleasure for me that week after week we get those silent movie touches in performances. It's something I always want to see more of on TV (with much less "clever" Whedon-style quipfests).

A lot of it (not all) is based on the idea that she must just be a piece of ass and Lynch is a dirty old man. What I find most amusing, and not surprising, is many of the people who claim to hate her because of some insult to femalekind are the first to call her every sexist slur in the book.

I'm hoping Nadine and Ed are done, although I'm not holding my breath. It would fit Ed's usual miserable luck and timing if she ended up dumping him after he sacrificed most of his life for her though.

I liked the cover (and I'm not a big fan of po-faced covers of upbeat songs), but the scene was a bit odd. I think it was maybe for atmosphere and to pad the episode out. A lot of the Vegas arc has been absurdity and weird quirkiness so this was one of the first that seemed to say anything about the actual setting -…

I think part of it is that Shelly had to grow up fast. She was only in her early twenties at most when she was in a disastrous marriage, a high wire relationship with Bobby, working the days away, etc. She's still stuck there mentally. And as much as I love Bobby, he must be a pain in the ass to deal with even in a…

He seems to be very nice on social media, thanking people who praise him. I'm glad Twin Peaks mostly seems to have non-assholish people on social media (with a few exceptions…)

Yeah I do wonder where that will go, especially since Red likely has supernatural powers. I hope his dad is there to save the day.

I think the AV Club reviews for the show are very good but I do enjoy those too. I also thought he did a decent job tackling last week's episode that I had some struggles with.

I felt that too, especially as since this is probably the last season I'm not sure if my favorite characters will survive.

One of the other interesting parts of this episode for me was Lynch's commentary on gun culture. He himself was a part of that (with the noir elements of the original show) with moments like a half-naked Shelly rubbing a gun over her chest, so it was interesting to see his reaction to where we are now, where guns are…

There really wasn't much character development with a lot of the original younger characters either - it was mostly about emotions and feelings, which is what we've gotten with her. I'm not hugely invested in her but in the moments outside of "abused woman" and "victim," when Lynch lets us see more of her personality…

There's still time for that, as I can't imagine them being nice and sweet forever, but I loved the twist on it and the whole twist on the usual gangster cliche.

My guess is it's a manifestation of all the pain and fear being built up again in the town. That was also the place where days or weeks earlier a child was run over.

I love how the show has Red as seemingly nice when around Shelly, but he does really really annoying things that make you dislike him even if you didn't know the truth about him (like the finger guns, or making the faces in the window).

I think a lot also depends on how the viewer feels about audience favorite feel good characters like Arya and Tyrion (always right, always noble, and so on). If you love them you will keep watching. They bored the hell out of me, so I didn't.

I love that. Either that or Albert is a secret superhero.

The scene where the terrified little boy saw Miriam crawling toward him, begging for help, was like an old B-picture horror movie from the studio system days. It got that inverted and curious morality just right - Miriam is good, and pure, and wonderful, yet to the little boy she was the monster. The scene was…

I saw a review of the episode that said Rebekah del Rio's appearance last week was signaling a move into darkness, similar to the last act of Mulholland Drive. And that this week bore that out. I can see that happening, but what I noticed this week was that it was one of the first where moments of warmth and kindness…

I figured that the conversation with Gordon and Albert was fake on their parts mostly because Gordon's acting was so bad in it, and David Lynch is a pretty good actor.

Shelly having no injuries beyond a bloody knee was certainly fitting for a TJ Hooker universe. Only Madchen Amick could look that good after being thrown off a car.
