    Review Irwin Allen

    Resetting "their general cleanliness" reminds me of a funny Woody Allen short story in which he makes fun of supernatural mysteries citing (I'm paraphrasing what he wrote) the "incredible case of twins in which one brother took a shower and the other one, on the other side of the world, got...

    Review Irwin Allen

    If your clothes were magically washed and pressed after each adventure and instantly rematerialized on your skin, why would you ever even consider changing your outfit? Basically you'd be wearing the same like-new clothes forever!

    Review S02E22 “Beyond Life And Death”

    And so it ends… Except that it doesn’t. And now I realize this was not a show that would fit our usual criteria. I had assumed The Twin Peaks series was a show in itself, and the movie (or movies) that came later would just shed some light on some obscure aspects of the plot, and the sequel...

    Review S02E22 “Beyond Life And Death”

    Review S02E21 “Miss Twin Peaks”

    OK, so we have the winner: Annie Blackburn, a.k.a. the girl who’s lived in town for just 15 minutes. The reason? Her moving speech. I see what the writers tried to do here. She was trying to bring up some “important issues,” but this kind of speech has been made lots of times already and, if it...

    Review S02E21 “Miss Twin Peaks”

    In the hurly burly of the holidays I almost forgot this one. Here we are. Just two more episodes. Meanwhile, I say, HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY! (Even though I suspect "everybody" in this case is just one person at this point.)

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    No problem. I'll get in touch with him. I found him once (and that's how I got him to come back at one time) and I can find him again. Then you beat me to it, though technically I'm the first to enter the new year, as my time zone is one hour ahead of your East Coast. And to think that in...

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    Oh, yes, yes. I remember her. She has aged very well. I wonder why her career has waned. I remember this show being announced. I thought about checking it just for fun, then it disappeared from my radar and I never gave it a second thought. There was something I read about it that convinced me...

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    Indeed that is! One day I may tackle the other productions related to the theme (movies, sequel), but certainly not now. I can barely wait for this show to finish. Oh, wait, I don't remember that. Was I that distracted? Oh, well, never mind.

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    Hey, guys. Or guy... While there's still time: MERRY CHRISTMAS! May you eat several times as much as you need! PS: Apparently none of the emojis I pasted appeared in the final result. If I don't get too lazy, I'll try to fix that.

    Review S02E20 “The Path To The Black Lodge”

    I’m a little behind, but now I’m updating my reviews. I’ve seen the last three episodes, and since this is an ongoing story, I’m going to treat them like a single thing. Believe me, you won’t notice any difference. Honestly, in my mind they’re all mixed up. Anyway… We’re slowly staggering to the...

    Review S02E17 “Wounds and Scars”

    At this point, reviewing the last two episodes, my strongest impression is that the writers simply didn’t know what to do with the characters anymore, ever since the Who killed Laura Palmer mystery had been solved. Let’s start with Josie. OK, so we saw she was involved in a complicated and...

    Review S02E15 “Slaves And Masters”

    Well, it's not the first time I complain about Twin Peaks' fragmented nature, and probably won't be the last. Be as it may, I still find it hard to discuss each episode individually, and this time, having watched two episodes this week, I felt that approach has its benefits. After all, reviewing...
