Like Donna, maybe?

Hmm. Not me. You realize that these gliding-camera shots are echoes
of shots we've seen before? In fact, they probably are the same
footage. We saw the ones in the hospital immediately before Ronette's
vision of BOB in episode 2001, and the shots in the Great
Northern--when? The episode before Leland/BOB was unmasked? The
night of Maddie's death?

Get in line, bud. Is there *anyone* who wouldn't fall for a woman (or
man) who made the speech she made to Cooper last night (about feeling
safe, etc.)? Dang.

Getting some male hunkitude in the show, and also I think Audrey had
to lose (a) her fascination with Coop, to make room for Annie, and (b)
her virginity. I'm not sure if they really got the freshly fucked
look they were obviously aiming for, though--Audrey didn't really look
like someone who was just deflowered by her true love. But then J. J.
doesn't do much for *me* either.

It's a puzzle box. Catherine gets a black puzzle box. It gets opened
to reveal another puzzle box. *It* gets opened to reveal. . .
probably another puzzle box. (Why did Andrew smash the second box?)
