The boathouse coffee meeting and the North Bend gas station are the two choices.
Jeff waking in the coffin wins; Rita putting on Diane’s clothes in the bathroom is a late alternate.
Rita staying after discovering Jeff’s command post and Rita’s permissive diner friend are the two weak links.
Hacky sack, answering-machine plot devices, Rita’s diner job, the missing digital trail, Jeff’s behavior, drinking while driving, old gas stations, reviews, the appended ending, reused titles, and fragmented streaming libraries receive criticism.
The book-publisher pitch and Rita questioning the eccentric neighbor are the choices.
The neighbor who reports a dancing Lucky Charms leprechaun wins.
The Vanishing remains preferred, though Your Obsession Was My Weapon is proposed.
The panel accepts American remakes of less-accessible foreign films when they add something new, and separately argues that full-service gas stations should return as gathering places.
Lynn Hamilton as the eccentric neighbor wins.
The panel considers switching Nancy Travis and Sandra Bullock but keeps Bullock as the missing woman and Travis as the partner driven to solve the case.
