Twin Peaks was created by Mark Frost & David Lynch.

This week we’re just playing The Darkside Detective, a fun point-and-click adventure game that won’t tax your brain too much, and Call of Juarez, a first person shooter that originally came out way back in 2006. Johnny Malloy The moon, full again as always, loomed over me like a burden. I had compiled one too […] More

Whenever I watch Friends on Netflix I always want to press “skip the intro” when The Rembrandt’s title theme begins, not because “I’ll Be There For You” is a bad song but since 1994, I’ve heard it more times than I have my own name. However, if a theme song is really good, it doesn’t […] More
Since it’s Mother’s Day (in the U.S. and a lot of other places, at least), I thought I would offer you my favorite mothers in TV. Before I get to that, though, I want to be clear about the criteria I am employing. The first is me. These are my favorites and I am sure […] More

One of the most fascinating relationships in all of Twin Peaks is that between Bobby Briggs and his father, Major Garland Briggs. Father/son relationships—especially those involving teenage sons—can be fraught, but Bobby and the Major are on a different level. Each of them, in their own way, is filled with secrets, and (for various reasons) […] More
