Yes, please tell us more about how Lynch is a hack who knows nothing about craft, o' professor.

Oh yes, "rules".

Fundamentally you're all looking for realism in a surrealist show. It's not going for conventional believabiliy any more than Bunuel's Phantom of Liberty. I get that believabiliy is a basic prerequisite for a lot if folks' enjoyment, so it's a fair response. In my view the show is very purposefully eschewing realism…

I could almost believe Gremlins too, though it is ultimately, unmistakably Joe Dante.

Actors can play anyone they want to play. People are allowed to hate or even boycott their performances. It's not terribly complicated.

Nah, you're just an ageist. No point trying to deny it. TV land is full of shows with young people; I suggest you park yourself in front of them.

True (I was certainly horrified by the possibility of nuclear war at the height of the Cold War), but I feel it's faded somewhat since the end of the Cold War. Probably to humankind's detriment. There are a lot of unstable people with nukes, and it only takes one. But it seems that in the decades immediately following…

I love watching an anti-misogynist flirt with ageism. You're so progressive!

Yeah, it's incredible, and devastating.

I imagine he's been, like most people in his generation, preoccupied by nuclear war his whole life.

There have been at least five black people in the new series, though only two with speaking roles.

Borrowing and homage are a huge part of Americana. It's really telling the same stories over and over again, like a songbook. You can see the same thing in Fargo or any other show steeped in regional American culture. Lynch has been echoing and channeling 20th century popular culture throughout his whole career. Twin…

'All the visual stuff just looked to me like stuff that would be projected on a big screen in the background at some movie producer's idea of a "hip underground nightclub."'

I love the idea that the development of atomic weapons was the original sin of the Twin Peaks universe, the first traumatic act that brought genuine evil spirits into the world. It also ties up things very nicely with Major Briggs' story line. I love the re-staging of the Trinity test. The sequence of shots and music…

I find the whole idea of Wonder Woman being a feminist icon absurd, a symptom of a society with its head in the clouds. It's like looking to Heracles as a role model for masculinity. The woman is a demigoddess who deflects bullets with her arms. The world desperately needs real world women heroes, and there are a lot…

Overall he's played to digital's strengths, but some of the daytime forest scenes, where there's a lot of gray-white light, definitely look very digital: so much detail that it looks almost pixelated and a lack of depth of field that flattens out the image. But it's only a few scenes so far. I generally love the…

I suspect that Leland did know what he was doing under Bob's influence to a certain extent. At the end of FWWM Leland requests that Bob leave him with his garmonbozia so he'd have some memory and pain over his actions. He chose to remember it so he'd be burdened with the guilt. It was never a pure possession, but a…

Personally it just makes me long for good Coop to take evil Coop down. I'll admit it, that's the closure I want.

I just want to take a moment to really appreciate Albert in these new episodes. Sure, Miguel Ferrer was sick, but he still gave it his all—there's real love there. What I admire about the character in that while he's still basically a sarcastic grump, he's clearly matured, toughened up and learned some hard lessons…

1) She flushed Henry Hill's cocaine, draining her family coffers and leading her and Henry to eventually enter the witness protection program.
