In other television news, Rick and I have finally finished season 1 of Twin Peaks, a feat which took us about six months. Hopefully now that we've realized that doughnuts are the perfect Twin Peaks-themed snack we'll progress a little faster through season 2, because it has about three times as many episodes.
I am still not sure how I feel about Twin Peaks. The only characters who seem either decent or likable are Donna, James, and Special Agent Dale Cooper (although Audrey is growing on me for the sheer amount of guts she has), and that's mostly because Donna and James are still too young to be snarled in the tawdry extramarital affairs that mire all the adults in Twin Peaks.
But all these unfortunate people are weirdly fascinating, and they all get plenty of time to shine. The show doesn't exactly have an A-plot: it has a bunch of different subplots (I think there are at least ten of them, and that's only counting the ones that are important and definitely tied to the mystery of Laura's death), and it juggles all those plots with impressive alacrity.
And I would really like to know who killed Laura Palmer. So we'll keep watching.
