in Twin Peaks: Thoughts On Season Two on Webomatica
Please don't cry too hard for Laura Palmer...after all, we learn in the movie that she did in fact find redemption after her death (angel/lodge/smiling imagery).
I liked reading your final thoughts on Twin Peaks as a whole, and the 2nd season. I actually enjoyed some of the minor characters and storylines you disliked -- in particular, Norma's b**** of a mom, and Nadine's amnesiac regression. Those were some highlights to go along with the other ones you've mentioned.
I agree that the revelation that Leland was possessed by an entity did absolve him of culpability in the abuse of his daughter. However, I found this revelation to be powerful and intense. The episodes in which we learn of Leland's possession by Bob, and the one in which he kills himself, are two of the best in the entire series. This is mostly a credit to Ray Wise, who does a fantastic job with the material.

in Battlestar Galactica Season 4 Prep on Webomatica
O.k. Liza is right, I should just forget about my sister's pre-wedding dinner on Friday and watch the episode. And oh yeah, why go to the wedding on Saturday at all... I think I'll just watch a "Lord of the Rings Extended Edition" 12 - hour marathon instead. Sounds like a good weekend....
Seriously, yeah, don't let me know anything. Liza directed me to look at your post (above) and I agree with nearly every point you mention. You'll have to not say a word, though, next week at work! if Liza and I are to make it until next weekend before we watch it...!

Haha... well your sister's wedding is obviously much more important... although... how long has it been since there was a new episode of BSG? :)
walk with me with this season 2 in mind. And yes, ray wise is really
awesome. Now that I think about it, his presence was missing during
all the widham earle stuff. Can we get a season three?
