Review of Somewhere Between Finale
Well, Somewhere Between concluded last night with a photograph. I'm tempted to hum Ringo's song "Photograph" — I've heard it a few times in the past few weeks on the Beatles Channel, and it sounded good, but no, it wasn't that kind of photograph at the end of Somewhere Between. It was a snapshot of a happy family at a wedding, and I won't say anything more, because no point in trafficking in spoilers.

Review of Somewhere Between 1.8
Somewhere Between ratcheted up the life-and-death tension in 1.8 this week, pitting Laura's daughter Serena vs. Nico's brother Danny as the one-or-the-other victim to be saved by Laura and Nico, who have the advantage of knowing what will happen any day now, at the end of this, but little else going for them in terms of power over events.

Twin Peaks: The Return Finale
Well, Twin Peaks: The Return went out the way it all came in: at the beginning. As usual in The Return, that little man who told Cooper early on to "Wake up!" and last week, when Cooper got back his senses (to the extent that anyone has senses or sense in this multiple inside-out reality) after far too long, intoned "Finally!," tonight spoke truth when he asked of Cooper the question, "is it the future or the past?" in that slo-mo way that folks speak in the alter-dimension.

Review of Somewhere Between 1.7
So we found out in Somewhere Between 1.7 the other night that Nico is not a killer, just a "black-out" drunk, which we already knew (both attributes), and that Tom is pretty bad after all, though I still can't see him doing anything to hurt let alone kill his daughter.

Review of Game of Thrones 7.7
An excellent season 7 finale of Game of Thrones last night, though, I have to say, not quite as exciting or decisive as last week's penultimate episode (but that's often the case these years — the next-to-last episode is often more mind-blowing or just better than the last, be it the season or series finale).

Review of Twin Peaks: The Return 1.15
I guess that was a gas station in Twin Peaks: The Return 1.15 last night—whatever exactly that was in the forest, where bad Cooper arrived in his vehicle. The structure behind it look a little like, I don't know, some kind of room and board, or maybe some kind of lodge, yeah that was more likely it. And someone very familiar offered to unlock the door for him, in that other-dimensionally super-slow distorted voice.
