OBVIOUSLY, FULL OF TWIN PEAKS SPOILERS
(if anybody still wants to see it for the first time)

Now that I've calmed down and composed my thoughts I have to say that the series has many plot holes and holes in logic. Windom Earle slipping with Annie out of the Roadhouse which supposedly is guarded by several policemen. Or how annoying was Andy not being able to tell Coop very important information for hours and hours!? He only needed to say like six words. There were just too many aspects of the plot that you found yourself questioning, not to mention the cringe-ful storylines.

At the end of the day, its wasted potential is a bit of a downer whether ABC was at fault for that or wasn't. I'd give the series itself an 8/10, even though the fondness you acquire for the show once you start watching it amounts more to a 10/10.

Oh and one more random thought. I don't remember where I exactly read this since I've done so much digging this past day but I wish they hadn't changed up the last scene. Namely, there is a transcript of the last scene were Cooper simply looks at the mirror, smiles and sees the reflection of Bob. Now that would have been a chilling scene as opposed to him going mad and smashing his head against the mirror. Imagine the idea of a composed Cooper/Bob hiding his new identity and wrecking chaos across the town. ****. The one person (besides Giant. I loved Giant) that you always felt like you could trust the most in Twin Peaks world. They would be in for a horrible time.

Profession? Graphic Design/Marketing

What did you study (or are you studying)? Sequential Art/Graphic Design

Level of basketball? Over 9000

Compare your game to current/former Bobcat? Oh you mean playing ability. . . then it's -9000

Why did you become a Bobcats fan? I was a Hornets fan, never really a Bobcats fan. When the team left and moved to New Orleans I sort of stopped caring about basketball. I became a minor closet Blazers fan with Lillard, and I watched the Magic on and off with Dwight but other than that I never payed attention for a long time. So I'm getting back into it, also figured I'd check out a few teams over the next season or so just because (Hornets obviously, Magic, Blazers, hometown Cavs and Nuggets).

Favorite piece of Bobcats history, relevant or irrelevant? Ummm. . . PJ's cool hair.

What does your screen name mean? I'm a giant Sharks fan, and Bleed Teal is a common slogan used by them. It just happens to apply to the Hornets a s well. To be honest, I was maybe 7 when I started watching both teams and I'm sure the color Teal made an impact on that choice.

Favorite Bobcat of all-time? Mourning

Favorite other NBA players of all-time? Ack ummm. . . everyone loves Jordan but I'm a big Dwight Howard fan. James Harden because him and I both have awesome giant beards. Maybe I should follow the Rockets. . . nah.

If you didn’t support the Bobcats what NBA team would you support? If I had to pick this moment, probably the Magic even though they've been terrible.

Other sports played growing up? Driveway hoops, backyard football and a LOT of MMA.

What other sports teams to you support? Oh boy, I watch a lot of sports. NHL: Sharks, Avs, Red Wings. NFL: Broncos, Lions. MLB: Tigers, Indians. College: Michigan State (Alma Mater), Ohio State (family's Alma). Soccer makes my ears cry. Getting into Rugby lately.

Hobbies? Played guitar for something like 13 years. Tattoo enthusiast. Beard Farmer. Avid gamer (Xbox mostly, some PC Master Race). Suicide Girls and vaping.
