The Michael Cera scene was just fucking retarded.

POSSIBLE SPOILER

The Michael Cera scene was just fucking retarded.

I feel like that sequence is literally this season so far. I'm starting to doubt all those things Lynch said about the "lame" period in the second season. These first 5 episodes are so laborious to watch and downright terrible and do absolutely nothing. I do not think there is one redeeming quality through the first 5.



No way this is a spoiler, at least as of now. LOOK AT HOW THESE WEIRDOS OVERLY ENJOY THIS SCENE

>Twin Peaks
>Originally a David Lynch production

Probably sucks regardless. No thanks.

 

[CiG]

All the scenes with Cooper have been mildly amusing and the scenes with Bob are cool, but the rest of it definitely is not living up for me.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

This anime was OK. The soundtrack is way too good for it though.

 

[Vilden]

Initial D is a classic! Awsome show.

As for Twin Peaks, I think it is slow and annoying but I can't help myself I still like it and want to know what happens.

Some thing though, I think the whole Cooper/Dougie thing has dragged on way too long now.
And the music.. where is it? The whole show is really sterile and feels really "off" without the classic score.

 

[rms]

5 episodes and Cooper can't speak. Literally ridiculous anyone can defend it

The show lacks music, dream like surrealism and use of lighting/colors. It's just not Lynchian at all. The "murder" sequence is so un Lynch as well imo

 

[Satanstoenail]

Christ it sounds dire. I dunno if I'm even going to bother.

 

[rms]

watch that michael cera clip above, that's the entire season as of episode 5: meaningless and dumb

 

[CiG]

I'll keep watching them as they come out, but mentally I'm writing it the fuck off if the next episode doesn't kick the story in the arse.

 

[Einherjar86]

yes

you think Nora lied in the finale?

No, I don't think she did. But that's pure speculation because there's no way to verify one way or another.

Spoiler

I'm more fascinated by the realization that while we've been watching a show about a significant--and mysterious--but manageable event, an alternate narrative has been simultaneously unfolding about a major--and mysterious--catastrophe.

yes that truly blew my mind. it's crazy since the writers were egged on to writing this final season, I think they wanted stop @ jarden. fantastic, all 3 seasons with different themes. Will age well IMO

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Latest TP episode was pretty bonkers. Lotta stuff I'm not gonna forget soon.

Spoiler

Coin trick, car accident (nice to see Badalamenti being put to use), Dougie's meeting with his boss, psychotic icepick assassin midget, etc. Hard to believe this was all one episode.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Wow House of Cards new season is just awful. It's just too silly

 

[CiG]

7th episode of Twin Peaks got my hopes up (well, back) for the show not nosediving into pure shit.

 

[mutantllama]

Man what a great season finale for BCS,

Spoiler

Looks like Hector is fucked for life now, probably exactly what Gus was hoping for when he said Hector deserves something worse than death

 

[Dak]

This season of BCS might be the greatest season of TV ever.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yep amazing finale.

 

[Vilden]

7th episode of Twin Peaks got my hopes up (well, back) for the show not nosediving into pure shit.

This was the most Twin Peak-ish episode yet. That Andy scene by the white house was great, classic Badalamenti score to set the mood too.

Started watching a UK mini-series called Prey. About a cop who gets framed for his wife and son's murder and ends up on the run. Seems pretty good so far.
