It was TJ Miller not Ryan Reynolds
Paranoid and Line of Duty are also excellent.
The red haired man with the stab wound was the guy who worked in the bakery with Peter. From a Guardian recap: The team spot the bakery’s van outside the house where the failed murder attempt took place and link its appearance to his boss Guy, who they learn from hospital records was recently treated at hospital for a nasty scissor injury. Guy admits to not supervising Cullen during the time of the attack, which puts him right back on the team’s radar.
The front door was wooden and didn't seem reinforced - pretty sure that she could have broken through the bottom panel. Or broken up through the ceiling. I would have definitely spent all day whilst he was out trying to break out of the apartment.
I thought Ep 1 was a little slow but still funny, Ep 2 was right on the nail and Ep 3 - I have no idea what this was. If it's supposed to be comedy I don't understand why they'd attempt to tackle such a controversial topic. It seemed so out of place for the tone they've been trying to set from the beginning. I was expecting something a bit more Futurama and less Hollywood morality tale from the creator of Ted.
Agreed Jack Farthing delivers an incredible and layered performance. You expect him to go postal at any minute.
Thank you! :) Nothing to be lost, a lot of knowledge to be gained, and if she was to defeat the white walkers with her dragons the whole of the North would be behind her.
But obviously that's too easy and wouldn't make for dramatic TV.
Reckon if she said I'll go burn all the whitewalkers - plus she knows where they are - North heading South towards the wall - he'd be supportive. And that's an enormous army in a wasteland, easy to spot.
He doesn't want her to waste her time flying round flying around an ocean trying to find ships - however I think he should let her do that as well.
I think the second part is true - she's tunnel visioned in that sense... but I do think she and the dragons could take out the white walker army. It depends whether all the magic that created the Night King in the first place is also destroyed and can never return.
Yeah but that would make it even hotter :) Definite love hate thing going on there.
It was very anti-climactic and I'm a bit confused. She outed them as hyprocrites when she herself was the one that pushed even deeper for transparency and connectivity. Even in the end this was the message she was still pushing, despite her active involvement in the death of her friend. Bailey and Stenton, obviously they are the corporate big bads no doubt appropriating everyone's data for nefarious and unknown deeds whilst at the same time fronting as smiling benevolent entrepreneurs on the cutting edge of technology and the future, but how is she any different from them? As a commentary on 'big brother', something that is more prevalent today than when Orwell wrote his book, there are strengths in this film and I didn't dislike, but her end game confused me. Perhaps it's just been a long week but if anyone wants to give me their 'paint by numbers' take from this please go ahead!
Some of the topics in this film are covered in a nifty documentary series called Dark Net which is worth checking out.
I've put both into a grammar checker. Both are correct.
BTW pretty sure arguments like this are why aliens want to kill us on sight.
I watched it on the train and jumped and let out a small scream and terrified the poor old dude sitting next to me and the couple opposite.
I've read a bunch of online reviews, but here's some of the nuggets from the various ones I've read so far:
- Bob was 'born' during the 1945 White Sands explosion - the explosion itself somehow symbolising man's evil, a perfect breeding ground for 'Bobs'
- In turn the celestial beings - the giant and the lady listening to jazz in the White Lodge - created a counterbalance - (good) an egg with Laura Palmer's face on it
- The 'woodsmen' or 'shadow men; were also somehow created during this explosion, infested with evil perhaps - given their burned faces? If you remember Leland in S1 talked about a man who lived next door to him as a boy, I'm guessing it was one of these creepy dudes
- The creepy dudes resurrected Evil Cooper by smearing themselves with his blood and removed Bob from his body, purpose unknown
- The young girl in 1956 was infected by the roach-frog born of an egg. We've seen 2 eggs however it is unknown at this stage if it the roach-frog is Bob or Laura (my guess would be Bob, given the slightly gross-out nature of the beast and it happened during the shadow-man's radio message). Could this be Leland's mother perchance?!
If Riz A planted the books, perhaps his motives were pure, as in he is protecting her in some way. I feel his character is good, not bad, but perhaps he knew that they all needed to be in the canteen at that point in time. It was all meant to happen when it did - if they'd performed the dance earlier then she would have NDE'd at the wrong time, and more people would have died by the gunman's hand.
This might be a popular theory already, I literally only just finished watching the series.
I actually thought it was beautiful. I'm not someone who is easily moved, but this ended perfectly and left me choked up. I hope that the second series is just as good, and does the first series justice.
It's a truly original television show, but will not be to everyone's taste.
He's also wearing brown lenses isn't he... his eyes seem much darker than KM's do normally. They've managed to make him look almost Latino.
Very difficult with the women... I do think Shelley is just gorgeous, but Audrey is sexy and alluring, she has that 1940's film star quality and glint in her eye that Shelley doesn't. Audrey is gutsy, a fighter. The actresses were selected well though and Fenn was the elder of all the female cast, so she probably brought something to the table in terms of life experience. If I had to pick between the two it would be Audrey. They've both aged really well, as has Sheryl Lee. Boyle looks like she's made of plastic now.
When I first watched the show I thought Bobby was a stunner - still do today - it's the floppy Hugh Grant hair. He's aged well too. He is the all-round bad boy... but a boy he is, even though his love for Shelley is very sweet and there is a caring, decent nature buried underneath somewhere (assume we see this in the new series now he's a deputy).
Dale Cooper though, whatta guy. He is literally so engaging and endearing that you can't take your eyes off him onscreen. He's everything a real man should be: handsome, articulate, courageous, intelligent, respectful and big-hearted, with a hint of goofy. KM was a total babe back in his day. So out of the two I'd say Dale, however if 2017 Dana Ashbrook wants to take me on a date I would not say no!
I have a number of questions about this too:
- Evil Cooper is the doppelganger, which contains the spirit of Bob
- What was Dougie? Was he some sort of construct created by Evil Cooper/Bob, to be pulled back into the Black Lodge when Cooper left, so EC/Bob could stay in the real world?
- Why does Evil Cooper seem calm? When Leland was possessed by Bob he acted completely irrationally, but Evil Cooper, whilst a sociopath, doesn't have the same maniacal quality we've seen Bob to display consistently. Evil Cooper is calculating and clearly there is something he wants to achieve, something he is involved in. Bob, to date, has only wanted to cause pain and murder, he is a creature of blood-lust and doesn't come across as being particularly bright or capable of repressing his instincts. This leads me to think that maybe you are right - something else is also inhabiting the doppelganger, something more dangerous than Bob.
I know it's Lynch though and nothing has to make sense! I wish we were seeing more of the Twin Peaks crowd.
The character of Dale Cooper deserved better. I can understand that maybe he needs to non compos mentis whilst his doppelganger runs rampant and ties the FBI up in knots, but this was so undignified. Dale Cooper is one of the most respectful, decent, caring and insightful characters in television - literally one of the Good Guys... he's someone you wish you actually knew in real life. I only hope that it leads somewhere worthy of his legacy and when his memory returns it is bloody glorious.
