 __ I wouldn't go that far (I suspect Lynch reserves the best-
  _ written episodes for himself), but I agree that Keaton did
    a *damn* find job.
___
 __ From a feminist standpoint (and that's a point where I usually
  _ stand), this episode improved things considerably:

(1) Evelyn Marsh was very well directed, and said lines like a
    human being, rather than some kind of posing zombie.

(2) The Ed and Norma (and later Nadine) bed scene was *great*!
    Notice how Norma has more depth in this episode than usual.

(3) Shelley looks better again.  She's still an unintelligent
    amoral character, but her interaction with Norma revealed
    some of the human being within her.

    I might also add that this episode indeed vindicates Jacoby,
    though I suspect it's the writer who deserves kudos for this.
    Jacoby's defense of The Widow Milford now seems less dubious.

  _ and my other brother Darryl?" :-)

 __ I was also glad to see Coop going wild over coffee again.
  _ And we almost had our *real* Audrey back!  And the two
    worst subplots were resolved!
