What's more, I personally suspect there will still end up being more to them/gold them Jacoby's scam, whether he realizes it or not.

I never took Albert as gay but to each their own.

I think we have seen Mrs. Tremond and the grandson.

I think Sonny Jim just may have some sort of Lodge affinity, if in fact he is born from some component of Cooper/the doppelgänger, both of whom are touched by the Lodge.

Caleb Landry Jones often plays weirdos/creeps. He's really talented IMO but this is far from him playing against type so far.

This. I don't understand people who say there's 'too much distance'. That whole scene was shot in that slow pull in on Norma for a reason.

It would not surprise me if Cooper's ending was him going home to the Joneses (Janey-E and Sonny Jim). Especially if it turns out that Sonny Jim is in fact his biological son.

I don't think anyone's currently driving much of the story other than the Cooper collective - and Hawk/The Log Lady. I do think Lynch's affinity for women (and women in trouble) is still clear with the stuff with Shelly, Norma, Becky, etc.

How is every episode better than the last? How??

According to the Secret History tie-in by Frost, Hank died in prison.

I like them (especially Ed and Norma's scene) but I agree 95% have no place in the film. The scene with the Haywards I might have kept, as it fundamentally changes the relationship between them and Laura, and Laura and the entire town - it basically suggests they knew something was very, very wrong in the Palmer…

The whole 'who's on first' routine hijinks with Max Perlich as the paranoid janitor and the dog woman in Buckhorn was typical Lynch confusion comedy, straight out of his later films/the Mulholland Drive pilot. I think it was also definitely intended to test the audience's patience and endurance, not unlike the waiter…

I think James works when Lynch is in charge. He's the very naive, sweet and soulful young boy-man in the series who is really a male ingenue. That only works with a very specific touch. I think it worked in the pilot and Lynch's episodes, and FWWM where he refuses to give up on Laura even as she pushes him away and…

What staggers me is how much it has exceeded even my high expectations. It's once again bigger and weirder than anything on TV, including the shows a lot of critics said had usurped it and taken its territory. They're all also-rans now.

Exactly.

No. The fan edit is not Lynch's preferred cut. Lynch's preferred cut is the one he released.

No. It's him and Frost indulging their love for Old Hollywood - Brando and the Wild One.

Wally is an angel of our times

I'd forgotten just how weird-ass a show Night Court was.

BUT WE BREAK LOOSE AND THEN VAMOOSE AND NOW YOU KNOW THE PLOT
