Twin Peaks musings/It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia musings

Twin Peaks--the whole premise is about HOW many people that died? One.

One high school student is murdered and the whole town goes apeshit. In the first episode alone, you have the parents of the victim going thru the process of finding out, and it's absolutely heartbreaking. The music is the most beautiful thing imaginable, too--Badalamenti is a genius, and him and Lynch together are a great combination.

The show didn't need a body count. One death is enough, if you treat life on film with the same fragility that comprises it. That shit is real! Now that I have daughters, it just makes me bawl my eyes out even more.



Now, onto the present--It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is on Netflix Instant, and I've been eating it up. I had seen everything up to the last two seasons, so I'm starting there.

Dee is pregnant, and there's this whole narrative about who knocked her up. I feel like they're gonna play this one out a little bit, like a season-long mystery. But these guys are also known for throwing wrenches in the gears of any storyline, so who knows what they'll do. It only took two episodes for Dennis to get married and divorced, remember. Also Charlie has broken off from the gang and is a school janitor, at the same school that Dee is now a teacher.

And holy shit, does Dee not look absolutely beautiful while pregnant? I want to bestow a gift of one thousand flawless rose petals upon her so that I may shower her with them and, if she would have me, bang her so sweetly.

Also I think it's funny that Mac and her are married in real life, and in the show he totally acts like she's the grossest annoying human bird. It works for me. Probably not the greatest for the feminist in me, though. Discuss!
