i think that jumped the shark is too harsh. the best way to sum up post-leland TP is it's like you're watching mash from episode 1, then in the middle of season 2 you suddenly skip to the last season. who are these terrible new people*? why do i suddenly not like this very much? who's writing this? everything just feels so milquetoasty and [i]tired[/i], everyone just wants to go home.

*i'd rather watch hidden camera footage of hawk's day off than anything having to do with any character introduced in season 2. they had a lot of good stuff ready to roll, and they wasted the hell out of it.

I've always noticed how all of Lynch directed episodes in season 2 do not feature any of the 'half baked' characters...much to their advantage. In response to jumping the shark, i dont feel it ever truly does...maybe the DEVIL NICKY andy fantasy...

Then again, it depends upon how you see Twin Peaks...I am certain that some people feel that ep 29 'takes it too far' with the 'surreal' stuff becoming truly explicit.

I have a message...

James Hurley's motorcycle... ran over a landmine...

he died instantly

i actually like james quite a bit, i've never been on board that particular haters crew*. he reminds me of myself when i was 17...well...except for being cool, even remotely good-looking, or having a social life...but i think a lot of teenagers become obsessed with "love" as a panacea for their emotional problems. james is trying to replace his drunk, shitty mom with someone, anyone. it's a pretty decent character who sang one goofy song.

*(unless we're making forehead jokes)

that first segment of crystal skull was as good as anything in temple of doom or last crusade, haters can step to the left

 yes, i am a hetero male between the ages of 18 and 45 who thinks shia is a decent actor, with the potential to become an even better one. sue me.

 edit: not that his role was worth a shit in crystal skull, that movie should've ended after they debriefed indy at los alamos
