Twin Peaks: Lonely Souls is the Best Episode of the Series

Image
  Credit to “Twin Peaks” Lonely Souls (TV Episode 1990) — IMDb Twin Peaks has been a fantastic show, but episode 7 from season 2 is hands down the best episode of the entire series so far. So many pieces of the puzzle are finally coming together for Laura Palmer’s murder, but the last thing we see before the episode ends was a shocking reveal that left me feeling disturbed and scared.  Dale Cooper and his new allies from the Twin Peaks sheriff department are able to get new evidence for the death of Laura Palmer. Through the help of Donna and Madeline, Laura’s cousin, they are able to get a secret diary of Laura’s, that was in the possession of a strange man named Harold Smith.  His death was a bit mixed for me, because even though I did find his character interesting, there was important information in that diary that should have been given to the authorities ahead of the investigation. One name that had been mentioned in the diary was Benjamin Horne, the father of Audre...

Donna from Twin Peaks Has Become the Most Annoying Character on the Show

  Credit to  Costuming Peaks - Donna Hayward in the Twin Peaks Pilot | TWIN PEAKS BLOG I loved Donna in the first season, but her character in season 2 is now becoming so irritating to watch. I don't mind her insistence on wanting to know who killed Laura, because Laura was her best friend after all, but the stupid love triangle she is involved in is ruining her character for me.  James and Donna were so cute in the first season, and once Madeline, Laura's cousin who looks just like was introduced to the show, I feel that Donna has lost her mind. I get why she is jealous, but the way she is trying to show off her dominance to James has been getting to me during season 2. She has been noticing the closeness between James and Madeline, and it's obvious that James was going to fall for Madeline, since he literally used to date Laura before her death.  Donna is aware of this, and I assumed her character would eventually accept this and move on, but the way she is acting ...

Is There a Way to Avoid Getting a Copyright Strike for Your YouTube Videos?

Image
  Credit to YouTube’s New Copyright Transparency Report Leaves a Lot Out | Electronic Frontier Foundation I have uploaded quite a few times this week on YouTube, and I have gotten about two copyright strikes so far. My video wasn’t threatened with getting taken down, but if I had already been monetized, there could have been a chance that those two copyright strikes could have affected me somehow.  I want to find a way how to avoid getting a copyright strike for my channel.  The reason that I got two copyright strikes for two of my YouTube videos, was because I used footage from two horror movies.  Screenshot of my videos that got copyright strikes. From the video based on the Thing, I got a copyright strike for using actual footage from the movie, because I had purchased the film through YouTube. I had recorded several scenes from the film to use as a sort of analysis format, since I was talking about my personal theories as to what happened to one of the main chara...

Did Dead Silence Deserve so Much Hate?

Image
  Credit to https://www.themoviebuff.net/2014/10/dead-silence-r/ I have watched Dead Silence years ago, and I thought it was one of the coolest concepts I have seen in the horror genre. The plot was pretty entertaining, and even though there were several cheesy moments, the film was genuinely creepy when it came to the dolls. The kills were gnarly, and the main character had a great motivation with wanting to solve the mystery behind his girlfriend's murder. It was a great film from beginning to end, and I don't understand why this film was criticized so harshly from fans and critics. The main villain is one of the biggest reasons why this film worked so well. An old woman was obsessed with her dolls, including one random doll that looked like Slappy from Goosebumps. I don't really remember why the old lady's spirit started killing people, but her motivation to kill her victims is awesome and terrifying. If you see her and scream, she will bit off your tongue, leaving b...

Moriarty Should Have Been Alive for the Final Season of Sherlock

Image
  Credit to YouTube The Sherlock BBC show has been over for almost a decade now, and the final season received a lot of mixed reactions. While I was thrilled with the final installment, there was one major thing that I felt should have been included in the final season. I kept expecting Moriarty to return. And yes, I know that his character did die in season 2, but there was one theory that I thought was genius.  What if Moriarty had a secret twin brother? And what if he was the one who shot himself on the rooftop with Sherlock during the season finale of season 2? This theory does sound dumb, but this theory actually makes a lot of sense.  And it’s all thanks to a running gag in the show between Sherlock and John. Credit to BBC One — Sherlock, Series 2 During some cases that Sherlock and John are trying to solve, John sometimes assumes that twins are involved in a crime. Sherlock always reassures John that ‘it’s never twins,’ and I honestly thought this gag was some...

Twin Peaks is a Unique Crime Masterpiece of Mystery and Twists

Image
  Credit to Everything you need to know before tonight’s ‘Twin Peaks’ premiere — Los Angeles Times I have finally finished the first season to Twin Peaks, and I have to admit, I haven’t been this addicted to a TV show like this in a long time. The characters, the plot, the multiple betrayals along with twists and turns that I never see coming, including a possible supernatural twist…this season is a masterpiece.  This is also one of the few shows that leaves behind so many unanswered questions with just one season, and the execution is amazing. I finally understand why Twin Peaks is considered to be one of the most popular crime shows ever created. David Lynch and Mark Frost were the perfect duo for this show, along with the cast that each played their parts perfectly well.  I love how the season focused on one murder case, leaving more questions than answers for the viewers. Laura Palmer was discovered dead in the first episode, and this brutal murder leads to the introd...

5 Horror Books that Deserve a Cult Following

Image
  Credit to 5 Real World Benefits of Reading Books I read some pretty random horror novels this time around. I did enjoy the stories immensely; these were some of the best I have read so far in 2026. And one of these books isn’t horror per say, but it was a great read nonetheless! This is one of those rare times where I decided to read random horror genres, and I was so happy with the selection of books I purchased from Barnes & Noble during my last visit.  I wanted to do something different this time with the books. I normally go for disturbing horror or slasher horror. I wanted to pick the most random selection of horror novels, to give myself a different kind of reading experience.  And one of these books happened to be The Godfather, that was a last-minute decision, because I heard this was one of the best books written of all time. (I had heard this bold statement from fans, and I said screw it, since I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, perhaps the book is just as g...
