I'm always fascinated by your choice of films. Where do you find 'em and how did you get into this type of "alternative" cinema in the first place?

Re: Favorite opening scene in any movie

The Hidden (1987) combines shock, action and mystery.
One of the most gorgeous opening sequences happens in one of the worst films I've ever seen - Aguirre, Wrath Of God.

Re: The Season 2 Problem

Personally, I've always thought that the fourth season is the most challenging one because season 1 to 3 often shows the structure of a trilogy (even if it isn't intentionally written that way)....
