“Twin Peaks: The Return” came to an end after 16 indescribable hours with a mind-bending two-part finale that is bound to leave fans hunting for answers and drawing up theories for months to come. Whatever questions viewers had heading into Part 18 were thrown aside as Lynch ended his grand saga with a baffling trip to the past…or maybe the future…or maybe an alternate reality…and ended on a final image so terrifying and so tragic that it provided the most essential ending imaginable for the series.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Twin Peaks: The Return” Episode 14, “Part 14.”]
“Twin Peaks” dropped a major hint on Sunday about the origins of Dougie, the man whom Evil Cooper/Mr. C created as a decoy, and whose life Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) took over upon his return to the real world.
While it seemed apparent that Evil Cooper made the fake version of himself to act as a replacement who would be called back to the Black Lodge in his place, it wasn’t clear what exactly Dougie was or how he came to be. A scene in “Part 14” between Albert (Miguel Ferrer) and Tammy (Chrysta Bell) sheds light on the man who was Dougie.

The two discuss the very first Blue Rose case in which FBI agents investigate two women — both who appear to be someone named Lois Duffy — in a hotel room.

The episode opens to a group of immigrants south of the border looking to make their way to the United States. The group makes a swim across a river and onto the other side. One of the immigrants, struggling to make it across, is assisted by what seems to be a Jesus-like figure. When it seems there is a holy glow behind him, they quickly learn that the glow is coming from a number of SUVs parked, facing them. Within moments, the immigrants are fired upon and killed by gun-toting, rosary bead-wearing ranchers with “Thy Kingdom Come” etched into their weapons. A moment that easily points out the hypocrisy of alleged Christians who are so willing to kill without any hesitation.
With the events of last week, we have two sets of beings hitting the road for Kentucky. Shadow and Wednesday, escaping the violet end to the...

Humans, Season One, “Episode Six”
Written by Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley
Directed by Lewis Arnold
Airs Sundays at 9 pm (Et) on AMC
After a lacklustre outing, last week’s episode of Humans bounced back by intersecting a number of character trajectories. This week’s episode continues the upturn in quality by delving into the history of a number of characters, shedding further light on their present-day actions and what drives them. The result is a solid episode that moves a number of storylines forward, setting up new character dynamics along the way before the departure of a notable character.
The look into the creation of Leo Elster and the synths that form his group go a long way towards explaining their story and adding a layer of empathy to their situation. Knowing not only that David gave consciousness to synths to provide a family for Leo,...

Are the lines between human beings and synths really that clear? Here's Michael's review of Humans episode 2...
This review contains spoilers.
One of the smarter visual jokes that Humans offered was the sight of Karen Voss, gazing soulessly into middle distance while waiting for Pete to come to the car. For a tiny moment, it seemed as though she too was a synth (as indeed she, or anyone else, may yet prove to be). Suddenly she jolted into life and we were prompted once again to think of her as a living, breathing human being. It was a clever move as it stressed the importance that this show is placing on the gossamer gap between humans and synths, a philosophical problem that the writers and actors are mining for all its worth.
It truly is a team effort, with the synth performers, notably Gemma Chan as Anita and Emily Berrington as Niska,...

Computers have become an integral part of our lives, but movies still haven’t come up with an interesting way of depicting their use. The character hunched over his or her laptop has replaced the character poking away at a typewriter as the dullest “action” that can happen in a movie. Writer Nelson Greaves and director Levan Gabriadze light upon an innovative, if obvious, solution to the problem in the cyber-horror flick Unfriended: their movie is one 80-minute shot of the protagonist’s computer screen. The computer is no longer just an aid to the plot; it is the medium through which not only the characters, but the audience, experience the plot.
Unfriended follows a group of high-school friends as they participate in a Skype chat over the course of a night. As far as horror archetypes are concerned, the gang’s all here. We’ve got Adam (Will Peltz...

Twin Peaks, Season 1, Episode 6, “Cooper’s Dreams”
Written by Mark Frost
Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter
Aired May 10, 1990 on ABC
“Laura wanted to die. She told me. She said people try to be good but they’re really sick and rotten, her most of all, and every time she tried to make the world a better place, something terrible came up inside her and pulled her back down into hell. It took her deeper and deeper into the blackest nightmare. And every time it got harder to go back up to the light.” —Bobby Briggs
In the first scene of “Cooper’s Dreams,” Agent Cooper complains to Diane, via tape recorder, that the sense of peace he found in Twin Peaks has been shattered, proving one of his oldest maxims: “Once a traveler leaves his home he loses almost 100% of his ability to control his environment.” And indeed, control is...

Pre-credit sequence. Snakes at the camp. Get it? Snakes! Thunder. Lightning. "We lost a good one," Katie tells her fellow castaways. She knows that if she doesn't figure something out, she's doomed. Silly Katie doesn't realize, though, that Ciera and Laura may have become the biggest targets, even if they seem all nestled in the bosom of a seven-person alliance. They're the season's last remaining couple and they're giddy about their position of power. Ciera's feeling cocky, figuring that she's survived one Tribal Council after another, while her mother was voted out at her first Tribal. The daughter has become the...

Ding dong! The bitch is dead.
The reality villain is someone who can bring a lot of life into a season of television. That love-to-hate personality type may not be someone you'd want to have tea with on a Saturday morning, but when pitted against a cast that you don't like, it can make for incredibly compelling television to watch them try to mow down the entire field by themselves. However, they can easily wear out their welcome and become more of a hindrance on a season's enjoyment than an asset, particularly if they're more bark than bite or if their level of talent doesn't match up to their level of trash talk. Cycle 19 of Top Model finally decided to get rid of their villain tonight and I'll be the first to say: Good Riddance.

If there was any justice in the world (and creativity in my body this late on a Friday night), this recap would be written from the perspective of Laura's hot pink eyebrows, which will almost certainly be receiving a starring credit next week. It'd be right in line with how the rest of "The Girl Who Sings For Alicia Keys" went, as the child of famous parents received nearly every inch of spare camera time in one of the more one-note edits I think I've ever seen on America's Next Top Model. For 42 minutes, we got to see Laura cry, confront a fear of heights, have an argument, make a new ally, lose an old ally, impress Kelly, put on a fashion show, and nearly win a trip to an Alicia Keys concert, her confessionals racking up more screen time than Bryanboy has in four episodes.

Pramface is a new 6-part comedy series, about two teenagers trying, and often failing, to come to terms with impending parenthood, coming to BBC Three.
Laura, 18, and Jamie, 16, meet at a sixth form party after completing their respective A-Level and Gcse exams. But little can prepare them for the result of their brief, drunken hook-up.
From the moment Laura discovers she is pregnant, the series follows the couple as they face the big moments and even bigger decisions about life and responsibility across those all important nine months.
Scarlett Alice Johnson (represented by United Agents), who played Vicki Fowler in EastEnders back in 2003, stars as Laura Derbyshire, an 18 year old who has everything going for her. After years of conscientious study she excelled in her exams and in a few weeks she’ll be escaping home for university and independence. This is all coming at the right time for Laura,...

We're back in Greece and Dominique is psyched to be the dark horse in the competition. She says that while she misses her children — who are absolutely adorable — she's doing this for them and hopes to bring home the All Star title.
Wait, I take back my previous statement about the location of the models. Some of the girls are in Greece and Angelea is still stuck on Get A Clue Island. She's so confused about why she keeps getting stuck in the bottom two while Dominique hasn't been there once. She also insists that Dominique is not an All Star. Homegirl needs to get her eyes checked and take a look at their pictures again. She also needs to listen to all of the previous comments from the judges because they keep waiting for her to be great on camera. I'm fed up with her nonstop boasting when she's...

(S13E09) We're down to the final five on America's Next Top Model and one thing that Top Model is doing better this season than Project Runway is capitalizing on their location. Sure, Laura may look like a tomato during interviews, but at least Hawaii is being represented through their beaches and sugarcane plantations.
This week's challenges were basically recycled from previous seasons. A falling challenge (similar to Season Six's Falling Fairytale photoshoot) and an underwater challenge (which was done in a pool in Season Two for Quench Water). Both proved to be more interesting because of the beautiful location.
