That song by Au Revoir Simone, which i liked btw, is from 2007, fyi. I know post 2005 years are basically like pre 2005 months, but still, not that contemporary!

For me the high point this episode were all the "Over the Top" references

Still disturbed that Janey-E STILL hasn't found anything worrying in the fact that she's having to drive Dougie to work, undo his seatbelt for him and push him out of the car. How many men would be interested in having a career if they weren't interested in having a wife? Would Lynch have revisited...

Well, it's been a slow day at work and i managed to come up with two more things to validate my theory, as described in my previous two posts, that "The Return" is basically a meta-narrative showing us the stress, fear, depression and disgust Dougie/Lynch faced in having to revisit a 25 ye...

One could perhaps also analyse it as Dougie being Lynch/Frost making up nonsensical scribblings, handing it over to his boss (the viewers) who doesn't at first understand squat, but then suddenly make some sort of sense out of it, and is impressed! But Dougie doesn't understand why the boss is so i...

I think Lynch is a very lonely and depressed individual and Dougie is basically Lynch. All these people around him who think he's great and suck up to him, but basically need him to do things for their own ends and have no real care for him at all. I again wanna point to the scene where he's on a de...

People can be so delusional. David Lynch pissed on the corpse of Audrey Horne (re: the nature of Audrey's situation). He defiled her sublime memory as the pure hearted angel of the original series. He has no ideas left, no original ideas left and he views older women as either nags or invisible afte...

Thinking back, another obvious trolley joke was Dougie on a deadline scribbling some random drawings on insurance papers and then, when he hands them over, his boss starts to see the answer to a mystery in it, or -in Dougie's words- "make sense of it". Obviously a wink to Frost and Lynch's...

No, I understand. But given the fact that it is not the show that you would have liked, would your prefer it in the current form or to erase James, Nadine, etc completely (if they're not doing anything meaningful anyway)? Well, we still have 7 epi's to go, so who knows if those scenes become more m...

Would you rather have had that these characters were not included at all? No, like I stated above, I would like to have seen them integrated in the story in a meaningful way. Now, to me, it's more like Lynch using the pretense of a reboot to make his own new 18 hour movie with isolated shots of Nad...

Still, I think we have gotten so much beautiful material in season 3 (...) Would you truly have preferred a reporter digging up some old memories with Norma and Audrey? Well, why would we have to choose between the two? All of these moments could have happened, even the Dougie stuff, but embedded i...

You don't think it is extremely contrived that the same group of people (a gas station owner, a waitress, a psychiatrist) is YET AGAIN involved in a great mystery precisely 25 years later? I see what you're saying, but -imo- a reboot is always gonna be somewhat contrived. I find the storyline we're...

For some, the frustration is probably akin to going to those great parties you've always loved, but the music and vibe of the place has suddenly changed. And while your friends still rave about the place, saying it's better than ever, you just can't get into the groove, no matter how hard you try. ...
