Re: Part 13 - What story is that, Charlie? (SPOILERS)

Naomi Watts' reaction to getting the gifts was so beautiful and perfect. What a ridiculously entertaining episode! Existentialism 101.

I doubt it. He didn't even know who Bettie Page was when Patricia Arquette wanted her hairdo.

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

Only watched first 20 minutes or so of epi 11 so far, but: - Norma sitting at her paperwork again is getting very Ed Woodian, with the Bela Lugosi shot used over n over again.

The fact that it was TWO tv dinners was such a vile little detail that for some reason underlined him as extra despicable.

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

I don't get it. I always thought 'tough cookie' meant she's 'tough to handle', has a 'strong personality', things like that. Am I missing something? Yeah, that's exactly what it means.
