Cracked but not broken.

#Severance season 2. What a ride! The finale constantly ratcheting up the tension. Mr Milchick dancing with Choreography & Merriment!! A bittersweet reunion. The response to Dylan G's resignation request. Mark vs Mark.

Where to from here?

Everything about this week's episode of #Severance seemed designed to disorient & intimidate Mark S and friends. Thrown into a cold, inhospitable outside world. Follow instructions to survive. Lumon's thin veneer of civility & care cracked then shattered.

We don't abide such fripperies here.

Rewatched #Severance S1. Knowledge from the first time impacted the story in the best way: enhancing my appreciation.

Reflecting on the strange: In light of David Lynch’s recent departure from this reality, I hope we reach the end with at least some of the weirdness unexplained.

Much well deserved admiration for David Lynch all around.

As I prepare to watch season 2 of #Severance, I think of when Twin Peaks first aired and that without Lynch we might not have shows like this today.

We're gonna need a blowtorch and some more peanut butter.

Overall a solid list. Skating Polly up top where they belong. Thought Autechre would be higher.

Not an accurate representation of my taste in music, but it's a top 5 for a snapshot in time.

Foo Fighters making it on from when I was in discovery mode & listened to every album once.

How you view the pacing in #Arcane is a matter of perspective. I see it as the story of Vi & Jinx & their extended circle, and Viktor & Jayce & the arcane. All else is peripheral. In this light the story is focused where it should be, compressing as needed & allowing the core of the show to breathe.

#Arcane s2 ep7: alternate universe Powder. Seeing her happy with Ekko. The moment she entered the party in that white dress, the dance, her face so filled with joy, then the kiss. I cried.
