Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just watched Part 8 of Twin Peaks and I think I now know what Koyaanisqatsi by way of Eraserhead would feel like.

My friend and I just sat there saying, "What? I mean, what? No, seriously, what?" and making handwavy gestures at each other. The next episode better have something coherent going on.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

At 1945, I started talking to the tv with a "Whaaaaat?" The b&w silent film bit was gorgeous. I'm not entirely sure I should admit that I think I understood it. Mostly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I might have to go back and watch on a larger screen and when I don't have a headache. The nuclear explosion just killed me and I could really hardly see what was going on. I liked the silent movie part, with Joy Nash, who at one time was a fat fashion blogger. Then there was another sign saying 1945 and I just turned it off

But I am not really a David Lynch fan, just Twin Peaks the original really spoke to me- I loved the people, the clothes, the soap opera, and the thought of some evil lurking that the good folk like Major Briggs and the Log Lady and the Bookhouse Noys were fighting against. I liked the idea that Audrey could become a good smart woman (I actually hoped that she would be the head of the FBI.

Aurelia - did you think this was the secret origins of Dale Cooper? I didn't understand it but thought it might be that-

No, that's about a decade too early for Cooper. The teen couple could be Leland's parents though, which would mean Bob had always possessed him.

I'm amused with the Laura as Athena to the Giant's Zeus imagery. And I'm choosing to believe that the whole silent film scene actually took so long that Laura's creation wasn't complete until 1971.

Because books.

With the last episode of S6, right? The explosion of the Sept?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Has Game of Thrones done a cold open before?

The series premiere is a cold open isn't it?

Getting dragged around on a sled really stretches a person out.
