The Comic Strip, Part 30 - And here I am again my girl, wondering what on earth I'm doing here

"Les Dogs" - March 8, 1990


My dreams frequently involve me finding myself in strangely familiar settings where I don't quite know what is going on, but I sort of wander through making sense of some of it even though no sense is there. And then there is an explosion of violence.


This is more like my dreams than many things I've seen that have tried to be "dreamlike." I think it's because there isn't so much effort put into being surreal. There isn't that sort of Yellow Submarine "This is a dream" telegraphing of nonsense going on - you sort of think that there is a logic to it, and at the end it will all make sense in a real-world framework. Twin Peaks would premiere in America a month after this was first shown in the UK. Interesting coincidence, but I don't know what it means.

And nice to see Kate Bush as the "Mystery Bride." She did the soundtrack for an earlier episode this season, and here she is acting. Was she a friend of theirs or did they just decide that she was the logical person for the part. Either way is fine with me, I can't imagine anyone who would fit the part quite as well.
