I hope Big Ed literally fist fights Evil Cooper to death. Or Albert and Constance get married. Both at the same time maybe.

When Lynch wants you to absolutely loathe a character, boy howdy do you feel it.

I'm not sure who's more contemptible at this point- S1 Leo or S3 Chad.

Sure Leo was a domestic abuser, murderer, drug runner and overall sadist- but there's just something about Chad's slow motion lunch packup that's just the absolute worst.

After watching the original seasons, I wanted Leo to die alone, hurt, and afraid. Seeing what happened to him with Windom Earle, and even his coma before that, in my opinion, no way negated the waste of skin he was and to me didn't make him atone at all (since he didn't seem to feel any regret for who he was). He deserved a lot worse than what he got. Even if we see his desiccated corpse with a rope still in his teeth, and a cage of dead spiders above him, he still deserved worse.

Chad's just an uncaring rear end in a top hat who's in the wrong line of work. He shouldn't be doing any sort of "customer" facing job. He should be working a back room stock-boy type job somewhere, not interacting with the public, and with coworkers who are just as rough and uncaring as he is.

You guys should NEVER read a Stephen King novel, if you thought Leo (or even Chad) was awful.

For some reason, Stephen King is really good at writing incredibly horrifically vile and irredeemable human beings. Like, there are multiple characters in books like "Under the Dome" or "Needful Things" that make Leo and Chad look like upstanding citizens who are thankfully not nearly as revoltingly unpleasant as they might be.

edit: Like in a Stephen King novel, Chad would be just as ignorant and obnoxious and unpleasant, but he would also murder high school girls and rape their corpses and pin the crime on the Truman brothers and get away with it.

Leo is great and awful because he's supposed to be this hyper manly, dangerous redneck drug dealer husband, but Eric DaRae is the most non-intimidating looking/sounding dude on the planet. He's like Steven Seagal's softer, whiny little brother, which is hilarious given his character.

Also I bet that food he was eating smelled godawful - note how Truman was immediately like "Bobby, open a window."

Donuts and coffee smell good. Microwaved hungry man trays smell like crap and only people like Chad eat them anyway.

Why do people hate Windom Earle so much? I know he's associated with the "mad sketch" parts, but come on. I loved those cabin scenes were he's just messing with his peons. Also, dat Log Lady disguise:

I will never forgive him for this moment

edit: Also, these kinds of shows are better when the antagonist is directly connected to the story instead of being an outside character that comes in above and disconnected from everything else. He's a weak villain imo because he's just The Puppetmaster™ except goofy and that's really it.

This is why DaRe is a great choice and why Leo is a great love-to-hate villain. He looks, sounds, and acts like a total pussy. Even his spousal abuse focuses on stupid rear end 1950s husband bullshit like sweeping up and doing the laundry. He's petty, stupid, complacent, and cruel. The instant an even slightly less pathetic man gets involved (Hank) he gets his loving rear end kicked. He's ridiculous figure and if not for how well Mädchen Amick plays across from him, most people would probably just laugh at his character.

Part of that was due to Donna not even giving a poo poo because she inexplicably becomes a pretty bad character in season 2

I think it's a dark maroon. I used to have hair around that color and it would do the same thing.

This pretty much made me laugh my rear end off because Bobby already knew what the thing was, knew they were going in there to discuss what it was, and just let it all happen anyway.
Is it just me or is every scene with Bobby supposed to have him getting really emotional?
