My husband and I were pretty disappointed in the first episode of American Gods. He thinks the editing was terrible, and I just felt like it was trying way too hard to be edgy.

Ep 4 of American Gods is really good. We accidentally watched it first (because the screener site is badly designed), and I'm super-glad, because the premiere was so disappointing. (The editing style calms down a LOT in ep 4, and I really hope it's not a fluke.)

It was right up my alley, but then so were the freaky dream sequences in Hannibal.

Is this where we'll be discussing the new Twin Peaks? On one hand, it's Showtime. On the other hand, I think it's going to be a streaming option on Hulu (albeit a premium one).

I watched the new Twin Peaks. And I realized that I cannot recall how the original series ended nor did I watch "Fire Walk With Me" - did the latter impact this new series at all? Or should I, in the two weeks prior to the next episode (s?) just rewatch the original series?

Because books.
Oooh, same. I actually added Showtime to my Hulu subscription so I can watch, but I haven't yet, because I realized what sumi just said.

I loved the scene where newly reconstructed Cooper is hanging out with Sunny Jim, figuring out pancakes.

Our wings are not tired.
I never watched Twin Peaks the first time around so I am just going to put that on my summer viewing list.

Apparently Fire Walk With Me is important to the new series. Agent Jeffers that Black Lodge Dale asked if he was talking to, and who was mentioned in the interrogation with Albert and Gordon Cole was an agent played by David Bowie.
I saw Fire Walk with Me and I remember almost nothing. I guess it's time for a rewatch.
I watched the first ep before bed last night and could not sleep. It hit some of my primal fear areas, especially those shots of driving in the woods, lit only by car lights. And that weird demon in the glass box. Ahhhhh !
