Stores not necessarily closing, you say?

MacLachlan’s subtle changes in physicality when portraying Mr. C/Dougie/Cooper has probably been my single favorite part of this whole season. It’s way more complex than scowling vs. blankness vs. confidence, he puts his entire body into differentiating these different personalities with every move they make. I would…

Happy to star, you pretty much covered all the big points about this ep. Well done.(Also, man, fuck Kinja.)

Did it work?!

Well, that's the end of this suit(e)!

I also love Reflektor, but before the EN singles started rolling out I thought it was most impressive as an experimental departure from their 'classic' sound; all the talk about being influenced by Haitian and Caribbean musicians made me think it was made in a flash of inspiration that really paid off. I wonder if…

Pitchforks historical best-of lists are indispensable but their new album reviews are very rarely trustworthy.

Trump defenders would probably just claim the video was reversed like the one of Melania frowning after Trump said something to her at the inauguration.

Luckily, Michael C Hall was never the center of the VERY-justified Dexter finale criticism. He just had no good material to work with at that point. It's too bad he can't find good film work; being the bad guy in Gamer isn't worthy of his talents.

You can safely watch and enjoy the first three seasons of both. After that….mileage varies.

Yeah, in that one season executive produced by the ghost of Richard Harrow and Werner Herzog.

It's been a while, but I remember season three being the last one where the show's initial greatness outweighed its clunkier aspects. Deb and Keith Carradine had a pretty good romantic arc, and Smits really chewed that scenery.

I loved the way Cole seemed to alternately eye Diane and her cigarette for a full minute before finally asking for a drag. It reminded me of a dog when you're holding one of its toys: "Eh? Eh? Can I have? Can I have?"

That's the Lynch magic. On any other show this scene would have been cringey as hell, but in the bizarre Twin Peaks world it was pitch-perfect silliness. Don't know how he does it.

Maybe I've just had too much fanboy kool-aid, but any awkwardness caused by all the exposition this ep was mitigated by excitement over all the disparate pieces of the season finally starting to come together. I suppose that's a downside to this approach from a plot standpoint, though: for things to come together we…

It took some plot gymnastics to make it work, but I agree that Sandler's character (Henry?) really did want the best for her, as did her family. Given such a terrible condition, would it really be better for her to be placated as having never suffered the accident and essentially living the exact same inconsequential…

I would dress as a Woodsman and then take 20 minutes to stutter-step from the hall entrance to my seat.

Yes! Cool story bro: saw her in Knoxville when she tried to climb one of the huge speaker cabinets at the side of the stage and one of them toppled and almost landed on her (in which case RIP St. Vincent); she laid on the floor for a minute while the band kept playing behind her, the crowd was getting worried, then…

I remember an old pre-Silicon Valley interview with Middleditch on the You Made It Weird podcast where he suggested that he used to be really close with both TJ and Kumail but that they'd had some kind of falling-out. Holmes mentions that TM doesn't hang out with Kumail and Emily anymore, and he agrees by saying…

Anyone have thoughts on the eerie switcheroo with the diner patrons after the guy busts in asking about Billy/Bing? Didn't notice it at all during my first viewing since they're all sitting in the same places, which made it even stranger in retrospect. Technical gaffe or something more?
