Today on Meanwhile, we are hitting some mega-jackpots. We are talk about surveillance, giving Mark Frost proper credit for Denise Bryson, time-travelling characters, Mad Men, and Mr. C weird slow-mo talking. Plus the age old question: is that Bobby scene supposed to be funny?  I bet we got into a lot more, too, but I am so tired typing this.
