Another show I never got back to is Person of Interest - I watched the first three seasons, and burned out somewhere around Season 4 Episode 2. Just when the show had finally moved into serialized storytelling and mythology, after I had struggled more with the standalone episodes, I took a break fro...

'Guest' is actually one of my favorite episodes. Carrie Coon's character is my favorite, I love her range. Such a tremendous performance. I also love the Scott Glenn in Australia episode in s3, that's another favorite. Same! It’s a shame that Coon’s career hasn’t exploded, she’s incredible. I was s...

In some ways, and this is a selfish thought, but in some ways it would suit me if the new Lynch show (especially if it's TP) isn't announced, if I get back into my own writing. If it is announced, I might use it as another excuse not to be writing and posting on here too much, which I'm already doin...

No, I only saw some of the first episode. Due to some life issues, I decided it was too heavy for me at the time and I needed more escapism, but I really never gave it a proper chance, if I did I'd probably get into it. But it's on a very very very very long list. (Which I'm thinking about deleting ...

Fair enough! I’ve done a few Lynch-only rewatches of the show (generally as part of larger overall Lynch movie rewatches) over the years. There was a period when I really had no desire to rewatch that back half of season 2 between Episode 14 and Episode 29. But now, particularly with with The Retur...

I thought some of the backstory stuff in ep 8 mighta just been about filmmaking/ creativity. the ocean you see seems to be close to what DL talks about in the TM speeches about an ocean of ideas is the lowest layer of consciousness that is hard to reach in our cluttered minds, somewhere below langu...

I know you’ve been rewatching episodes of the original series. Are you planning to continue on to a rewatch of The Return? I'm not sure. I've ordered a cheap new blu-ray player once I realised the original series on the streaming service I used was the DVD quality (complete with boom mics in shots)...

I know you didn't mean anything by the wrong part. The id idea is interesting - but I didn't see it as necessarily referring to Cooper's id, as again I see them as being presented as more separate/loosely connected entities (even moreso than I do in Episode 29), but it's a valid argument given the d...

But in this case, there is no wrong way. I think all interpretations are valid.

Wasn't there something about the 1956 Sarah (and maybe Leland too) that didn't align with the main character? Some sort of goof, though I can't remember now what it was - their ages? Their location? Some inaccuracy - or maybe even inaccuracies - were pointed out. (Not sure if this was before or aft...

I’ll just add that I saw all of these themes (or many of them—some I missed but others brought them to my attention) well before Mark confirmed in interviews that all this stuff was indeed on his mind. Which corroborates that it IS there in the text, whether or not it worked for you (just read “YMM...

Maybe if you take all the fractures - as Mr. Reindeer called them - of the character, it adds up to more, but I don't think we got a deep inversion of the character, at least not in a way I would have liked. But we all see things differently, I guess. (Edit - Just to rely to your edit, the want vs. ...

I don't think it lacks in depth at all. It's a matter of perspective. I'm not sure I said it lacked depth but if I did, I didn't mean that the concept did - I just felt it wasn't very well done and could have been more nuanced. I do feel the character of Bad Coop lacked depth - there was nothing to...

I liked how they moved beyond the town in the Return. Similarly, I like how you only see Fargo here and there in the Fargo series, and you see whole different towns in Minnestota, Kansas City etc, but things always come back to Fargo in one way or another. i kinda like that approach. I get what ya ...

I think there’s value in knowing what their goals were and analyzing where they went wrong. I strongly disagree that knowing authorial intent diminishes the text. It’s just one more piece of the puzzle in coming to your own understanding of the work. I think there's value in knowing their goals and...
