  1. Someone suggested Charlie was in the picture with Mr C and the box. That makes sense to me and freaks me out. Maybe there is something to the gas lighting read of the Audrey scene... I think her performance makes even less sense in that case, though it seems like a good fit with what he is doing.
  2. Her performance definitely scanned more as "bad performance" rather than just as exagerated, Lynchy peformance, but I think most of what makes that scene comically opaque is in the dialogue itself. It almost seems like they are both faking that they know what the other person is talking about, and I think it would work (or not "work") pretty similarly even if she had done a better job. I would guess the limited context we are given was intentional, at the very least. I thought the husband really leaned into that: the jacket part, "i'm not sure about those papers," "unbelievable what you're telling me," the blank stare... I really enjoyed him.
  3. Hi everyone. I wonder if this episode would have made people as mad if it wasn't sequenced the way it was. The Sarah Palmer stuff, the Horne Truman scene, Gordon's French lady, "Let's Rock" - all crowd pleasing stuff, I would have thought. But then it ends with 20 minutes of people we haven't seen yet talking about people we have never heard of... I liked the episode more the second time I watched it. Audrey's scene was actually kind of delightful when I wasn't trying to figure out if I should know who Billy, Chuck, and Tina were. Is it possible some of it is improvised? I think it is clear that it is supposed to feel disorienting and maybe aimless, but it feels a little like they are improvising a scene with very little information in which they are not allowed to make anything important up. Whatever the process was, it does seem like Fenn was struggling a little to do whatever it was she was supposed to be doing, but I thought the guy playing Charlie really brought it.
