But at some point you'd think the Ben and Jerry connection would come through?

I'm pretty happy with Buffy and willing to go along with most of the conceits of the show. I liked and sympathized with the character of Wesley in season 3 while thinking he sucked at his job. I had no real problem with Dawn after, if I remember after all that time, some initial struggle with change. My main unpopular opinion is that season six is my favorite, I even rewatched it recently and had forgotton how many of the episodes I remember often came from season six. I think it is the season of the witch, the one where everyone has to deal with the consequences of their actions. Spike is earning his soul, before he realizes it. Buffy is dealing with the fact that everyone gets to move on except her, Dawn, Giles....I don't think that it would work without the other seasons but I think everything was earned and it worked. On the other hands parts of it are painful to get through. I really think that season 7 suffered from them hovering in the same place at the middle of the season, waiting to hear if they'd been renewed. I may be wrong but that is what it felt like to me.

Strange how the cherry pie is without ice cream.... Sleeping Beauty! The Hornes will probably show up at the rendezvous searching for Jerry.

Oh

I think it is entirely possible that someday Sam and Arya will be living in Winterfell with their weird children while he writes his epic history. Because everybody else will be dead....

I'm not sure if King of the North couldn't be separated from Winterfell, if necessary.

When interpreting old documents those sort of confusions do occur and in a largely male ruled society assuming someone was male is pretty common, too. I always thought there was a pretty strong implication that, of the current group Dany was in the running, so the 'prince or princess' was implied...this just formalizes it.

The dog that played Ghost died recently. I don't know if he filmed any of this season.

Yeah, to quote Stephen King, Bobby finally remembered the face of his father.

I love the way Dougie holds on to a coffee with both trembling hands. It was a hard 25 years for him without it. That incredible spit take when he tries the coffee Janey E makes, she apparently makes a terrible cup of coffee. Or maybe it was just really hot, but my thought was terrible.

Rescuing Diane from his dark companion? There is an awful lot of Candie, it seems like there has to be more to that story (she could be a place holder for Laura, like Dougie was for Cooper In the same way the traffic jam, screaming woman, vomiting child would seem like it has to mean something (are people being drawn to the owl cave from all over the area?). Jerry is likely quite sober by now, poor fellow.

I read the Secret History of Twin Peaks during the 4th of July break and the log lady's story features in this. t it looks as if having read the book is going to add a lot to this story.

Chase isn't CEO yet and was around Seattle for only a short period of time and he killed the leader of the terrorist cell, if he can stop shooting people in the gut because they do something he doesn't like and restore order in Seattle I think he and Fillmore have a chance, if only because this is pretty unusual circumstances. And a TV show. Do we know if F-G has a board of directors? Did I miss a mention? Do we know what they are diversified into besides sketchy energy drinks and private armies?

Still a lot of Fill-More-Graves are presumably just people and their families who were at the picnic. The actual bioterrorists, and they were bioterrorists, you are correct, seem to be a faction, not necessarily associated with the Fillmore Graves blackwater operation, either.

The Logan/Weevil story is definitely a lot more memorable that the pregnant neighbor storyline. I think that was supposed to be about Veronica worrying about responsibility, since she behaved as an adult and ignored what Keith told her to do and possibly precipitating violence, but it never really comes across. Keith and Veronica could have discussed it instead of foot rubs.

First, I should have listened to the podcast first because I said things they covered. Sorry. Yes, I know/knew at the time of writing the message that Mrs Navarro worked for the Echollses, I just didn't remember if we, the innocent viewer, knew that at this time. Although I should have because it was included in that credit card storyline, as everyone mentioned. So, a fail for me. The other thing is whether or not we ever see Logan do anything altruistic again? I guess this is his little bit of redemption arc?

I wish Keith had mentored Veronica more on cop tactics instead of letting her learn by her own mistakes, but I suppose not his nature and also wants her to have a normal childhood. I like the boots with stars on them....sigh....they wouldn't fit me, though. Also, I think Logan may have been the one to promise to donate them to the school originally, knows that he will later have a knock down fight with Aaron and probably get pounded with Aaron's fists for taking them...I think Logan promises money to soup kitchen, Aaron beats him, Logan donates boots, Aaron....rinse and repeat. It really starts to be more than Lynn can just drink through. I don't remember if we know that Logan knows Weevil's grandmother (and Weevil as anything except a random cockroach around school) but I think that who he is doing it for--that and for pissing off Aaron, of course. Twofer. It is actually nicer than anything he does for Veronica, ever, that I can think of. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this?

Veronica Mars reminds me of an anime, a little older than Veronica Mars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogiepop_Phantom For some reason. But also American Graffiti. I wonder if at the natural end of the show, which we didn't reach, Veronica would be found paging through a photo album and tell us what happened to all of the friends she hasn't thought of lately at all? That's the feeling I get, anyway.

In MKAT Logan thinks she's going ot leave him and takes the early deployment, realizes that wasn't what is happening and they talk about it. that's hopeful, but I still think it is going to be rough when he no longer has a place to run to periodically. He's made of wikipedia separation anxiety articles. Good for you and Piz!

I apologise if someone else has mentioned this but did anyone else notice that the inside of the head of Johnny's talking teddy bear had a miniature one armed man, I mean a miniature twig with smooshed wax-head figure, also the outer hamster ball looked like a weird speaker system and the black lodge seems to come and go via speakers? It is odd because, one, why would Sylvia, who is clearly a neat and focused conservative person in terms of the decorations in her house have something like that always in center view? He could be getting his repetitive voice says his name needs from any number of Steiff confections.... Although I'm not privy to the particulars I think the fbi group is being lead to the same place that the twin peaks sheriff office is going (as lead on by the chair treasure map), that separate groups will converge on that location for some reason. .

As Morpheus once said: "do you think this is air you're breathing?" What are these people made out of? Dougie was made out of nothing much, I realize, but Dark Cooper and Light Cooper are too many Coopers.

I think Cooper is suffering from a malfunction of his will to act in the world, not a malfunction of his understanding (although some of his understanding continues to be otherworldly). He wants the things of the world, the badge, the flag, the little boy, the wife but he doesn't feel quite as if they are his. As such, since he can act when threatened by being fired or by violence, he is probably capable of refusal. There was a lot of ventilation....I originally thought she might live but she was in a pretty large pool of blood and there didn't seem to be any reason anyone would come 911 speed to her aid.

He is her mentor in the department and he's a flirt. I think his conversation with Denise made it clear that he isn't actually a cad.

So much went on in this episode. I was dragged into storylines. Richard beating up Sylvia while Johnny struggled on the floor, whether to help her or run into the wall (his legs were spinning) was one of the more horrifying things I've ever seen, but Amanda Seyfried, who looked a whole lot like a young Shelley, undergoing the same abuse was equally horrifying. The stories drew me in but the next one drew me in so strongly I'd forget the one before it. So much going on. I think Diane is being abused by Dark Cooper. When she looked at her phone it didn't seem as if she was colluding, it seemed as if she was scared.

I consider that absolutely amazing look of joy as he has sex for the first time in at least 25 years qualifies as consent. Cooper really seems to have a moral compass and access to himself when push comes to shove. I suspect that Cooper, well, at minimum knows that Janie means him well and is proposing something he'll enjoy and that there is consent even if he is more brain damaged than I think he is. It is perhaps crude of me to say that this qualifies as push coming to shove but WTH .....
