is it a kind of dream?

Wild Palms is a 6 part soap opera mini series thingy that's part scifi- and everyone's related by marriage or by blood, it comes out in the end, as soaps do. It can be confusing, and many compare it to Twin Peaks, a show i never really watched at the time or now, though I've seen David's 3 episodes, and was utterly confused.

But David's acting is superb, though he says a few things with a thoroughly Yank accent, thank god he'd mended that by being back in the UK! And Jim Belushi, you'd have thought was miscast, and a few things he sayd woodenly or possibly not relaly understanding what he was supposed to be doing, but he tries really hard.

I dislike Angie Dickinson and Kim Catrall, Angie is slimy (its her character, i think) and Kim just plays Valeris without the Vulcan ears. Still the technology is kindof like Lawnmower Man's warnings of doom and such, and its pretty damn cool i think. The messages about scientology and drug use are clear as a a bell.

I think i wrote most of this in my first review, when i was irritated by the soapier elements of it, but this time around, i found them intriguing.

And YES, David shoots a very automatic gun, blows up a bunch of people, carries his son (Brad Dourif) to the beach, and holds him while he dies. Its really quite beautiful if you ignore his son's daft name, Chickie Levitt.

I took my banner cap from the dinner he and Josie go to have in the bottom of an empty swimming pool, just because he gets up to kiss her.
