    Already I feel like I didn’t actually watch this but rather dreamt it. Just drifting through inevitable terror like a cloud. 

    Lynch’s method to open up and lay out characters in such vulnerable and intense ways has resulted in career best performances in every film I’ve seen from him (I’ve not seen his Dune) but my god Sheryl Lee and the depiction of Laura Palmer here just brutalised me like no other. I felt like I shouldn’t be seeing these things. 

    As important as the context is story wise the series feels unbelievably distant and comparatively lighthearted. I miss Andy and Lucy.

    What an ambitious cartoon pitch I wonder how the events of September the 11th 2001 would affect the creator’s career path.

    I don’t care if it’s as accurate as Barney or about the aged CG, it’s still as goated to this day as it was when I was 5.
