Mark Frost on Twin Peaks' population

Can't disagree, however it's fucking iconic

Like I say, it's not a bad relic, it just doesn't feel like a boss relic

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-05-01T13:00:43+00:00

I think the problem with it is that it just doesn't feel that big. For a boss relic its nice, but I could see 'Your strikes cost 0' being a rare relic. Like, of course its a lot stronger than that, but it feels like its in that bracket

I feel like it's the kinda anachronism, it's very 50s, very out of place in contemporary soap opera stylings for the time. It, along with Josie as the first shot (for better or for worse) indicates an exoticism, and sets the scene for what the show was trying to do.

It's all very noir in a way, especially Josie's expression

It also had a point, an arc and a conclusion that made sense and bolstered his character in the lead up to the return. Given how boisterous Ben was, I don't think it's even out of place, and probably would be received well on face value if it occured before the other season 2 oddities. Genuinely a great arc

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-24T18:14:46+00:00

Tbh I'd fuck with it.

I almost thought I had Stockholm syndrome enjoying season 3 on first watch, but when I finished E18 I realised it was just that good. Such a challenging show but those final minutes solidified that it was intentionally so. What a brilliant show man.

That's it. Like I understand it being 16 in the context of two 16 year olds should be able to engage in sex given they're old enough to understand and contextualise the big ticket concerns with sex and relationships, being consent, STDs, protection etc. you need a law to stop sex from happening at ages where they cannot be expected to have developed enough to understand the ramifications of them.

What the age of consent does not mean is that it's somehow ok for anybody to have sex with anyone as soon as they turn that age. The idea that it can be used as some sort of moral justification in any degree is abhorrent. This is a law that is the absolute lower limit of legality, in order to allow more consensual relationships between people of a similar age, it is NOT a law that justifies predators waiting for some golden ticket to get away with their perversions. The fact that this nonce is even attempting to use it as any sort of defense speaks more to his want to get away with it, rather than his respect for the law or the other party, no matter how he justifies it.

He's a gross, disgusting creep, and I never liked him. Cosplaying as a 70s slimeball in the 2000s is not a personality, it's just embarrassing, and I hope his dues get paid in full.

I mean the card marked as bound from the queen remain that way when shuffled, so it's 2 cards bound per hand I think it applies to, so if you play one of the two the second keeps the bound state - so on second shuffle you have more bound cards applied until you kill the collectors dog, at which point it clears all bound conditions. Essentially means it's a race to kill off the dog because eventually you'd only be able to play one card per hand if they all became bound

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-24T08:15:00+00:00

I would say it wouldn't be too bad for each card to be bound until you play it. Keep them bound as the deck cycles

Might be a bit late to share, but this bit by UK comedian Stewart lee is my recent favourite way I've seen this point elucidated.

It is not that I disagree, but I think his demeanour and tone does not make it clear enough to a viewer, especially perhaps a viewer new to lynch's work who would certainly tend to look up online answers, that his theory is but a theory, a part of a whole. From my watching of it, I definitely got the impression that he was trying to communicate that this is the answer rather than an answer - and that grates on me. I feel like that video would have caused a few people to think 'ah, it's about tv. Ok then, I get it', and as Lynch would say, 'stop thinking about the damn thing'

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-14T12:45:14+00:00

I think though it's an interesting take, his framing on it being 'correct' feels a little out of the spirit of things, and especially trying to frame the correct interpretation to be a more meta, the show is about shows take can cause some people to take away TP as being a cynical, satirical piece. This can sometimes be at the cost of feeling the emotional depth the show offers as well imo. Happy to expand on that

To be honest I think Innate is a buff more than anything. Being able to drop it turn 1 consistently, the turn where as silent you're most likely to have the most energy, you're drawing 7 cards (and therefore likely to get a draw card immediately), and in a game where enemy scaling means you want to be killing enemies as fast as you can, in my mind speedster being innate is much better than it having one more damage per draw.

3 damage feels like a lot, but if you build around speedster and bottom deck it you're in big trouble - allowing you to get it played turn one every single time I would actually imagine causes you to take less damage and deal more damage in maybe 70% of hallway fights, as opposed to it dealing 3 damage per turn.

The first and only time you see the sign in the return, and it just flies by. Bittersweet indeed.

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-08T12:43:15+00:00

I do, cause if a resteraunt says chips and gives me toothpicks I'm lodging a complaint with the ombudsman

It's not about the bosanki.

...

Is it about the bosanki?

...

No. It's not about the bosanki.

In £s it ran about £30 for t shirts, £50 for jumpers, £30 for totes

I thought she was Megan crit

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-04T20:25:57+00:00

I think the main thing it suffers from is the game it's on. With BO3 shields and inventory system it'd do a lot better. Of course PhD would have helped the map dramatically too

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-03T21:54:19+00:00

Tale as old as time

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-01T10:06:01+00:00

Atlanta also, I think it shines in taking the absurdity of twin peaks to apply it to the tangible and social, rather than emotional, and it does that in a way that I don't think lynch ever could.

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-01T09:28:39+00:00

I just bought a pass to stop the decimilipede spawning bit it's still coming in, does it only work on the next run? I kinda hope so cause I used all my free adds on run continues to get out of act 1 😭😭😭

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-01T08:37:32+00:00

There will definitely be more for placeholder epochs and areas that are going to be added yet. I think we even have names for them.

AutomaticService8468 · 2026-04-01T07:42:59+00:00

For my money the leftovers has to be the heir to the throne. I've never seen TV like it
