Twin Peaks (ABC) TV Show • Page 38

It was nice that a huge portion of this part took place in Twin Peaks. don't get me wrong, I do really enjoy everything else, but I wanna know what's going on in Twin Peaks! also I was thinking how much I love seeing so much Gordon/Albert adventures. lots happened this week.

 

Wow this one was amazing. Damn good!

 

I just about cried when he said "damn good." :')

 

Getting more and more antsy about the dougie / coop situation but the Shelly Briggs reveal was such a great moment

 

I nearly died of laughter after hearing lynch say he's dead.

 

I just gotta say as a person who was really down on bobby in the original seasons.

He just turned a whole new leaf since being a good guy now and I appreciate him so much.

 

I've been cracking up over Carl's whistle all night

 

best episode yet

 

I'm convinced Candie is just a really important character that will probably be explained going down the stretch.

also hello Diane yes please whose side are you on???

 

is it just me or did it seem like Coop was slowly starting to come back to a little bit by the end of the final scene? Idk something about it came off that way to me, but I honestly doubt we'll be getting old Coop back until the very end tbh.

 

H

He 100% said "damn good" with Dale's inflection rather than Dougie's.

 

"he's dead"

I fucking lost it

 

The scene with the Woodsman creeping around and the scene with the vomiting girl were both just so unsettling in the way only this show can be.

Carl's whistle and "He's dead." were just the best moments.

This was a fantastic episode.

 

Miguel Ferrer is so brilliant in this

 

Easily one of the most entertaining characters to watch this season, even while other people are speaking-- his facial reactions are spot on

 

It feels like everything about this show is rolling right now.

I can't really think of any bad stuff besides maybe pacing but that's been really good the past few episodes.

 

So is the consensus that everything after Part 8 has felt the most like classic Twin Peaks? Because I've definitely been getting that feeling. Not sure if it's an intentional thing or what.

And uh...what the holy fuck was up with the "sick" kid in that screaming lady's car? That was some of the most unsettling shit I've ever seen on this show lol.

I also loved Lucy being all passive-aggressive haha. "I don't know why I'm even thinking about furniture, Andy and I hardly ever get to go home to look at it!"

 

That was an amazing series of scenes and heavily reminded me of Eraserhead and its thematic focus on a characters exploration of his own psyche and fear of parenthood through nightmare imagery. Not that I'm exactly saying Bobby is dreaming the gunshots and the sick child. But it all occurs in this Lynchian downward spiral of events in which his daughter inherits a violent unhealthy relationship similar to the problems Bobby and Shelly faced 25 years earlier. Almost immediately after this conversation, he watches the love of his life run to that drug dealer dude who sold to Richard Horne, literally watching Shelly repeat the same problems his daughter is facing. In the next few moments, we see a child use his father's gun (notice they're wearing the same camo outfit and the same indifferent angry face). Lynch wants us to notice the inheritance of violence from generation to generation, but before we can even put our thoughts together, a child deteriorates into a zombie-like sick state and all Bobby can do is watch in horror-- it's the incarnation of his very fears taking a more acute form with each passing event.

 

I'm not sure if it was mentioned here or someone I talked to or what but I think it is intentional. Part 8 (got a light?) was the intermission episode, and since then has been part of the 2nd act. I do think we'll get a third act sort of when Coop returns to himself (or won't he?), and that'll be it. I'd love to see this show go on another season or more, but this is all better than nothing.

Also when this is all done I'll have to rewatch the season in as short time as possible. You can tell this was all filmed basically like a really, really long movie and is meant to be watched daily, not weekly IMO.

 

I somewhat appreciate the waiting time because it allows individual episodes and moments to digest. Though, ive been rewatching in between episodes and its been very helpful in keeping up

 

I rewatched 9 and 10 today and picked up a lot more, the insurance thing lost me the first time

 

One thing I've been thinking since the premiere is that the shortened intro has been incredible. Rather than wanting to skip it every time, I watch it before every episode. The imagery really set the tone for the new series perfectly, when the score kicks in I feel like I'm immediately in the right mood for what's about to happen, and because it isn't two minutes long it doesn't overstay its welcome either.

 

Agreed completely. It's almost like Twin Peaks itself is hypnotizing you into its weird little world.

 

That was great. It had a lot of the classic Twin Peaks/Lynch comedy juxtaposed with horror. It is interesting to see the ways in which the ghosts are cropping up, and what connections, if any, there are to the sick kid in the car.

 

Jim Belushi's face when Candie was talking about traffic was priceless. It's amazing how good this show can be even "without" its main character.
