I'm sure you're right - hairwise.

What struck me about the revival is the stunning feeling of continuity. This is 100% a continuation of the original series, even though it's wildly weirder. 

I also have rather more respect for KM after his roles in this.

It seems that Lynch ran out of money when he was filming Eraserhead and work on it stopped for a number of years. There's a scene (allegedly) where Jack Nance (the MC) goes through a door and when he emerges on the other side it's 4 years later, but undetectable. There's some of that here and I'm not sure why.

Slow pacing is deffo problematic, it's as if Lynch is getting even with the studio for cutting the silly stuff from the theatrical release of FWWM, by shovelling it back in here. And now we see the studio had a point, a very good one.

Whatever, the monkeyshines of intellectually-challenged Andy and Lucy wear thin, as do the glum and glassy-eyed Coop zombie, and Jacoby's tedious radio rant (MrsD. insisted we fast forward through that).

Fucking hell.

(we're on ep 5)

I kinda feel like the slow/annoying parts might be important. You gotta eat your vegetables! But, I often feel like this about film/music/art and it might just be some ridiculous puritanical hangup with no basis in reality I don’t know.

Possibly I'm either too much of a Lynch fan or too into the original series, but although I was aware of the slower passages, I didn't mind them.

Some of it feels like filler though.

Returned to library without watching any more. Might circle back to it some day.

Sad, I suppose. What the heck - if you didn't like it there's no point in trying to persuade you otherwise. 
Or vice versa.

I probably would have sat through it. In a stupor. Mrs.D had other plans.

You got to episode 5? I can't remember exactly, but I think it was after 5 or 6 that Lynch wound the weirdness dial a couple of notches higher. I may need to watch it again now.

Oh, it was all kinds of weird. But without a discernable point.
