Sins Of Emission In its efforts to combat climate change, the European Commission seems to be producing its own hot air. Brussels boasted last week that all provisions of the 1997 Kyoto protocol on climate change are now legally binding. As part of the Kyoto deal, the E.U. agreed to lower greenhouse gas emission levels by 8% below 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. But legislation alone...

...elderly people at her side. Then, a swift cut to a black-haired woman, who emerges amnesia-addled from a car crash and begins scampering through the streets of Los Angeles. These two women eventually cross paths and seek out answers to the mysteries that riddle their lives. David Lynch should have won the Oscar for his evocative vision of a treacherously seductive Hollywood, where amidst the magazine-gloss sheen, two people who seek moral truths are engulfed in the process. Lynch concocts an enveloping sense of foreboding, lingering his camera even as the characters have moved well beyond...

ABC has played up the comparisons between Kingdom Hospital and David Lynch's Twin Peaks, though Kingdom isn't as arty, original or elliptical. But like Peaks, it is funny, which is no small feat (compare HBO's smart but painfully self-serious Carnivale).
