A classic surrealist theme is to be constantly delayed/denied gratification. Being consistently interrupted and frustrated shows up so much in Bunuel and Lynch.

I keep trying to read the situation and I feel no particular interpretation is dominant. Audrey has some stress driving everything, whether it’s related to the events we know about is yet to be seen, but we definitely know enough. Charlie seems less than sympathetic but I can understand; he’s firm and sets boundaries, with consequences, but this entire situation where it sounds like she’s having an affair or something with Billy is weird.
Is Charlie really a husband or just some sort of caretaker? Maybe both?

This is the first time Richard was explicitly identified as Audrey's son, right?

Very worried for Becky

(In fact, it seemed very cruel/twisted -- in a very productive way, certainly -- to first have that beautiful Ed/Norma scene with Shelly crying and then later get the implication that something ~might~ have happened to Becky while all this nice stuff was going on.)

Big Ed / Norma was total fan service but it was so well done it didn't matter, Everett McGill was so good

The Woodsman who sparks the electricity so Mr. C can go through the door to see Jeffries had blood running out of his mouth and down his shirt like the Drunk in the jail cell.

the clearest bit from the steven/gersten conversation when I watched was when he said “turquoise” and my Twin Peaks sense kicked in
also there was a moment where I was thinking about the timeline and ages and how it seemed like she was more motherly than sexual and then the wires got crossed. so uh, did steven grow up in twin peaks?
