Episode 8 was possibly my favorite episode of anything. Glorious. I’m so proud of everyone making it. I’ve been startled to see the ratings low. It only made me look forward to the rest of the episodes more. I got Hulu and Showtime for this, and I hope they get rewarded for taking the chance of showing it, and for advertising it so well.
I enjoy networking with other people who love the show, and, rarely, have I seen people in the groups really reaching with the meaning of symbols. Other people in the groups humorously let them know about the reach.
And as far as the symbols being beyond words, needing air and space to breath, yes. Thank you for writing about that, and revealing that Lynch likes them to stay open rather than explained. Like juxtapositions in poetry liberated from the potential of paraphrase. Like a series of paintings hung in a multi-dimensional gallery.
