If only I could do a poll...

1. Okay, I can't do a poll, because no paid account, but I'm curious...how many people who watch Doctor Who see it as a kid's show? And do your kids, assuming you have any, watch it? I'm particularly interested in the non-Brits. Because it's apparently marketed as a kid's show in Great Britain. But it isn't here. (It's shown at 9 pm here on Saturday nights. Not exactly what I think of as the prime kid-viewing hour.)

2. What is everyone watching? Anything interesting?

3.Sense8 got cancelled. Is it worth watching now that it is cancelled? Or will it irritate me because it ended on a cliff-hanger? What else on Netflix, Amazon Prime is worth checking out?

So far Bosch, Sense8, and Iron Fist have been mentioned. Anyone seen the Woody Allen/Elaine Page series?

4. Has American Gods finished yet? I'm waiting to binge watch as a 7 day trial on Starz.

I'm on the fence about Twin Peaks...I saw the original version and I think the movie. The original two-three season series was excellent, although it got a bit convoluted and unintelligible at the end. And the movie... (which had no plot, but hey, David Lynch, it was basically all surreal metaphor or a nightmarish satiric abstract painting on film, similar to the third season).

So, my question is - is this season more like the first two seasons of the original series, or more like the movie and third season?

Deffinitely more on the surreal side of things. More than Lynch's later movies than the original tv show. It does have the original characters though and the Twin Peaks feel is deffinitely there.

I wish there were more weird townies and less completely abstract stuff but it still is excellent.

Hmm...thanks. Question is how much do you have to remember the original to be able to follow it?

[rogin]

Well, I did a rewatch pretty recently and I am not sure if I can claim to be able to follow it.

I guess it doesn't make much of a difference. You have to remember how things ended for Agent Cooper and that's where it moves on from in a very weird and surreal way.

I don't completely remember...I think he ended up in the red room, and his double or the monster ended up taking his form and being unleashed.
