My friend and I just sat there saying, "What? I mean, what? No, seriously, what?" and making handwavy gestures at each other.

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.

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.

Has Game of Thrones done a cold open before?

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

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.

Hoooooly shit, Arya.

I loved Sansa's line to Littlefinger, something like "YOu don't need to have the last word. I'm sure it would have been something clever."

Tormund + Brienne 4ever.

Loved Jim Broadbent's character.
