Oh man, Michael Cera as Wally was wild. His speech about his shadow was hilarious, and very much in keeping with original Peaks.

And yeah, definitely I think it's fascinating how far television has come as a medium. I'll be honest and say that a few of the effects have made me laugh so far (like Coop flying through space), but I think that's also just part of Lynch's charm. One thing that seems really emblematic of Lynch's work for me is that often things are dialed up to 11 (acting, effects, the freakin' long pauses in speech... etc.), but it never seems to detract from the intent of the scene. It's literally like a dream; it's about feeling over realism. Like, it's easy to look at some of the narm present in the series and laugh at it, but once you open yourself up to it and let yourself get swept away it's actually pretty heartbreaking and powerful a lot of the time, and the over exaggeration of everything just adds to the atmosphere.

Anyway, I'm rambling
