The Syndicate

I still can't get over how some of the actors nail the same friggin inflexion after 25 years of actual life.

Lucy pls

On the other hand, though... the reverse speeches (or whatever it is)used to be better made than this. Sherry Lee sounded real good at it. But now in ep2 her lines sounded like shit.

And wouldnt you know, the only actor who was actually skilled at it got into an edgy feud and was replaced with a tree. Blargh.

Eh. The "...yet I live" and screaming parts were enough to convince me that Sheryl Lee's still got it.

As far as Mike Anderson goes...

me at having to wait another week to see Laura Dern as Diane with that bitchin haircut

Diane!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Stanton better hit 100 years, god bless him. I don't remember anything about his character, though. Wasn't he in the shitty part of FWWM?

Also, I can't express how well the outro songs hit the mood here, compared to Lefty's juxebox covers shuffle idea for S3 intros.

This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend.
The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.

i love this show so fucking much.

I guess the world needed a doppelganger of Tree of Life and Satantango, with a bit of Scott Walker, Penderecki and The Caretaker in the mix

Yeaaah, this was probably my least favorite episode of The Return, Sarah Palmer and CEILING FAN aside.

Stalling in a painfully self-aware way. The sweeping scene from Part 7 writ into an entire episode.

But hey, at least we still know that Grace Zabriskie is a fucking great actress, if "BRUTAL FUCKING MURDER" didn't convince you.

(seriously, wtf was with that Audrey scene. In one way, it's Lynch giving the middle finger to people expecting fanservice like you describe, by putting Audrey in some clearly unhappy marriage with the little dude from The Path. On the other hand, jesus fucking christ David Lynch we don't need ten more goddamn plotlines about people we don't know. And yes, I know that you know that, and you're choosing to do them anyway, but self-awareness doesn't make mediocrity somehow legitimate.) *cough cough emoji posting*

Still greatly enjoying the show, but I can't help but be thankful I saw the first two seasons on Netflix, and could just get through the less-than-stellar parts without waiting a week in-between.

still the best line reading of all time

I played Binding of Isaac during it. That's how I can sum it up.

(I didn't win)

The very last shot of The Return will be Leo still clinging to that piece of rope with his teeth, after 25 years.

Screenshot this.

Diane,

I've been away for the past 25 years, but I'm back and banging your step-sister now.

Good night, Margaret.

My reaction to this weeks' episode:

lyl

well

part 17 was fantastic, loved every second

part 18...

well

it's gonna take me a while to formulate an opinion.

We waited twenty five years for Season 3 to resolve the cliffhangers from Seasons 1 & 2.

Hopefully we won't have to wait that long for the cliffhangers from Season 3 to be resolved. Because...I have some questions.

A lot of fucking questions.

But shit, no other movie or television show in a long while made me this invested, even if Part 18 is an epilogue which potentially invalidates the entire series

If there's no Season 4, and there's no plans for a Season 4, I'll have to just stand and applaud for the sheer testicle size that it takes to produce Part 18.

welp
