That jail is becoming a giant weirdo convention. It is building to something…dunno what though.

Because it is meaningless bluster from two notorious blowhards. S Korea knows whats up.

Did we hear it earlier as a skipping gramophone as well? Or am I remembering it incorrectly?

Keep your eye on the cup reflection - a cup of creamed corn none the less - it moves. Really hard to spot, I know, but it is actually a thing that happens. Also notice the same cars go by twice.

The looping boxing match - something odd is going in with time. Eds reflection has a creepy blink and you'll miss it loop glitch in the final scene too. Is this whole thing going to loop back to the original series timeline? https://www.reddit.com/r/tw…

I love Dougie and his innocent obliviousness. I think I'll miss him when he reCoops his former self.

I can never quite work out why that ceiling fan is so creepy, I mean…it's just a ceiling fan ffs. Kudos to Lynch for spotting its spinny menace all those years ago

DougieCoop listening to the piano playing something melancholy that was almost, but not quite, Laura's theme, is a about as concise thematic a summation as we have had so far.

I think she is simply a comedy riff on the trope of film gangsters having a posse of scantily clad women who pose staring nonchalantly into space as nothing more than scenery. In Candy's case it isn't a pose she is just away with the fairies.

Doh…I now feel stupid for not making the Lady Justice connection - I was taking it as a kind of inversion of the Good Samaritan, and not really getting why.

You missed ' sealed in weird capsule to contemplate the futility of everything' from DS2

Not AIDS, but eugenics/genocide in general. A satire on how 'othering' a perceived enemy allows for the suspension of empathy. Also a a swipe at macho war film cliches.

Pleasantly surprised. Treads to closely to the original for the most part, but notches up an impressive amount of tension by the end. I think the critics have been a bit too harsh imo.

Yes, I was convinced it was a fakeout of some kind. I spent the whole episode waiting for the other shoe to drop and the actual story to be revealed to be about the people making the programme or something along those lines. It just doesn't work in this format.

Yes it's a comedy…you are 8 eps too late to the party.

Well I think that realisation is where the season is heading. His attempts to do gods work are going to massively backfire destroying his faith, then he'll learn what has happened via the angels and voila we have the Jesse from the first issue.

Yep, on our school bus, all those years ago, we had to sit on the floor in front of the seats because if an unwary traveller was to poke up into view they would be hit by an apple, tennis raquet, head combo from the oldest boys on the back seats. Every…single…day.
