It’s been a while. I got distracted. Life happens, you know? So, with the news that David Lynch has bailed on the Twin Peaks revival over at Showtime, (of course he has!) I have come back for more. As usual, there is some wine involved.
Let’s begin, shall we?
Ep. 3:
We open with the worst family dinner ever. And eating that much bread without any butter is a travesty. I have a feeling that there will be plenty of What Is Going On Here? for me throughout all of these episodes.
Mmmmmmmmm, bread.
Donna and James are totally feeling it now that Laura is dead.
Someone is leaving clues for Agent Cooper!
Bobby and Douchey are buying drugs. Of course they are. From Leo, the pony-tailed menace. OF COURSE.
Ed and Nadine??? I mean, what is up with these two?
Set pieces on this show tend towards the bonkers, like some mad art director was let loose for no good reason except… reasons, I guess.
What, exactly is going on here with the donuts?
And then the doozy of that dream. I mean, I have crazy-ass dreams like that too, where none of it really makes sense, and piecing it together the next morning is daunting to say the least, but this may be one of the best visual interpretations of this type of dream I’ve ever seen. Impressive.
Ep. 4:
Break the code, solve the crime. And we’re off!
Holy shit, cousin Madeline looks just like Laura Palmer!!! Interesting…
OMFG, Bobby is the WORRRRST. And his bullshit speech at the funeral made me hate him even more. Screw you, Bobby Briggs.
No really, Ed and Nadine???? I don’t get it. At all.
I can’t help it, every time Mr. or Mrs. Palmer is on screen, I laugh right out loud. Their melodrama is my amusement.
A secret society! The Bookhouse Boys, eh? After the reveal of the brothel, One Eyed Jack’s, and now this secret society, I have many questions. I will keep them to myself for the time being.
I thought for a hot second that Agent Cooper was gonna dance with Mr. Palmer. That would have been awesome.
So Far:
I mean, I get it, I’d flirt my ass off with Agent Cooper too.
I really am enjoying Agent Cooper and his unconventional ways. I can see how people who liked this show, REALLY liked this show. I mean, I don’t think I really care who killed Laura Palmer, but I do find myself intrigued by these kooks, and what could possibly be around the corner. I have some ideas, as I wasn’t completely immune to this show when it was originally on, but seeing how the things I know will fit into the story is gonna be interesting.
