Pete Martell June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 I thought this was the best episode so far. A lot of different stories going on, the stories away from Twin Peaks mostly picking up momentum, and a decent interweaving of the old cast, complete with some emotional moments (it broke my heart when Frank learned Harry has [I assume] cancer - Robert Forster played that, and the poignant Skype conversation with Doc Hayward [RIP Warren Frost] perfectly). I was especially pleased with Diane, tough as hell on the outside but fragile, as so many are, when talking about Cooper. The scene where she confronted "bad" Cooper was phenomenally acted by Laura Dern - the jut of her chin and the steel of her eyes as she asked who he was. And the back and forth with Diane and the FBI gang made me laugh, especially "What's your name?" "Tammy." "Fuck you, Tammy." The Vegas stuff also seemed to be slowly trudging forward, with more of the old Cooper returning. I guess "the arm" was trying to tempt him to become bad by dismembering Ike (which he resisted)? I'm glad they had Janey-E in there with him fighting Ike, rather than just passing out or getting knocked out. The slow fumble back to reality of "good" Cooper was a perfect contrast to "bad" Cooper and his chilling blackmail of the warden. The escape scenes, especially the scene of him in the hall and of the warden looking on after he drove off, clearly disgusted with himself and numb, were beautifully lit and staged. I was afraid we were going to hear that Ben was porking Ashley Judd, so I'm glad we have avoided that, for now at least. I'd forgotten what a striking actress Ashley Judd can be until that scene with her husband. (Richard Beymer is a real silver fox - he reminds me of Tim Gunn now) Good comedy in this too, with Diane and the agents but also with Jerry. And I liked the beautiful last shot of the Double R. Really enjoyed this one. Oh - what was going on in the Andy scenes? I missed a bit of that. 7 Link to comment

Some thought it didn't fit the show's tone, but I liked getting to know more about the past of various residents. It's very Milford-heavy, which interested me more than I thought considering that whole story with the MIlford brothers did nothing for me on the show. It also gives a wrap-up to the Packard-Martell saga that I don't know will ever be referenced on the revival. You can see dribs and drabs of the book in the show so far. Link to comment

Guest June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 It makes me sick that EvilCooper more than likely raped Diane -- at least that was my takeaway from their interchange. Just as sick as the thought he raped Audrey while she was in a coma in the hospital. But I cheered like a loony fan girl when Dougie Cooper took down the vile, rampaging little dude. For a second, I thought the encounter had awakened Dale, but alas... Fantastic episode. Oh! And whatever that thing or person was walking down the hallway in the morgue freaked me the hell out.

SeanC June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 So between Diane and the implications of Hayward's mention of seeing Cooper in the emergency wing being assumed to have visited comatose Audrey (with there now being bad seed Richard Horne roaming around Twin Peaks), evidently Evil Cooper took the opportunity to rape the various ladies in Cooper's life. Which, granted, is the sort of thing you'd expect somebody influenced by Bob to do. This was definitely the best episode so far. More plot connectivity, and even Dougie's scene was relatively short and had some actual action in it. 3 Link to comment
Pete Martell June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 If my above comment about Diane seems a bit glib, I didn't realize until I read some of the other posts around that they were likely implying he raped her. I was sort of naively hoping that "bad" Cooper just hightailed it to safety and went on a crime spree rather than go near the people in Dale's life, but now I realize just how naive that was. How awful. It adds another layer to Dern's performance, especially when she broke down with Gordon at the end. I don't even want to think about Audrey. 2 Link to comment

When I was watching I thought she was trying to trick him, and that her reaction was mostly down to his obviously being a creation of pure evil. For some reason I didn't put it together that the way she was acting with everyone and then her asking him about "that night" likely meant something terrible between them. I guess I'm so used to Lynch eccentricity with characters. Now I can't help wondering what she was like before and just how much that made her change to the woman we saw. I wonder if they will have Dale learning of any of this if he ever goes back to normal. I imagine a lot of the old Cooper already slowly died out in the black Lodge but if this did happen to Diane and Audrey I think when he finds out he will become very dark indeed.

Cheezwiz June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 This was a good episode - a bunch of the plot threads are finally drawing together! I felt awful for the Diane character. It was clear that she endured some kind of horrible assault at the hands of Evil DoppelCooper, and has never recovered. And I'm also worried for poor Audrey - was hoping she had somehow escaped his clutches, but it's looking like she might also have been victimized. The stabby little assassin returned with a gun! And the tiny talking brain/tree/neuron/chewing gum thing also reappeared and made me laugh! Dang it for a second I thought good Cooper might have fully regained his old consciousness, but sadly, no. He's still stupor/Cooper/Dougie. Who is this Beverly woman played by Ashley Judd, and why is her character significant I wonder? When we saw her returning home to confer with a nurse, for a brief moment I hoped we might have a surprise appearance by Michael Ontkean, but sadly, she's married to someone else with cancer. It was poignant seeing Warren Frost as Doc Hayward - this episode was dedicated to his memory (I wonder if they'll have exposition on whatever happened to Donna). That thing shuffling through the morgue creeped me the hell out. 3 Link to comment
Pete Martell June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 (edited) I noticed that the episode where we first start getting a real idea of the damage Bob did to the people close to Cooper was the one where Laura's presence reappeared. One of the more depressing and moving aspects of Laura's story that FWWM made clear was that she essentially killed herself to protect other people and to keep what was left of her agency. Dale likely would have done the same but he was never given the choice. What we saw in Diane and what we might see in poor Audrey are why Laura chose to die. If Bob Cooper returns to Twin Peaks pretending to be the "real" Dale, then it's only Laura's diary that is likely to save lives. There's always been a bit of an idea, sometimes egged on in the show, sometimes not, that Laura was this huge burden and drag on the people in her life. She was in some ways, but she wanted to help people too. She died in order to help people. I'm hoping that this episode is going to be the start of weaving that into the narrative, as it was Laura and her memory that kept me emotionally attached to the show and the film above everything else.

Cheezwiz June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 Music stuff, no Bang Bang Bar band this time: Not sure we needed an extended shot of someone sweeping the floor for 3 minutes, but I dig "Green Onions" by Booker T, so I went with it. I liked the closing shot of the busy Diner accompanied to "Sleep Walk". Seems appropriate for Good Cooper. As the one-armed man pleaded last episode, WAKE UP DAMMIT! 4 Link to comment
cmahorror June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 This was definitely more what I was expecting regarding this reboot and I agree that this was the best episode of the season. I am curious about Ashley Judd's character and her husband and they connect to everything going on in Twin Peaks. Still need to find out what the hell happened to Audrey - we are almost halfway through the season and not even a mention as to what she is doing now. She was always one of my favorite characters and Sherilyn Finn fought hard to keep Lynch on this revival - surely he gave her a good story in return. Obscure reference alert - the final song playing in the Double R Diner was the song Sleep Walk - this song was featured in the 1992 horror film Sleepwalkers starring Madchen Amick (Shelly). 2 Link to comment

The nosebleed on her face in the dream is identical to the wound she had there when she was shown coming out of the Lodge in episode 29. (Though for whatever reason - continuity error or deliberate choice - Annie is wearing Caroline Earle's flowered dress which she briefly appeared in in the Lodge in Laura's dream and in the hospital scenes, while the Annie who actually emerged from the Lodge was wearing the black dress she wore to Miss Twin Peaks.)

I got an impression from the first episode, which was reinforced in this one: in his later years, Ben Horne - who used to run around laying everything except the runner carpets in the Great Northern - is now trying to cultivate an air of respectable civility and restraint, especially with women. To that end having a beautiful assistant like Beverly around on a daily basis embodies Temptation to Ben - a temptation to which he cannot allow himself to succumb. Kind of like the way a reformed alcoholic may keep a bottle of whiskey in the kitchen cupboard, or an ex-smoker might still keep a pack in the nightstand.

jsbt June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 Something I haven't seen mentioned which tripped me out: The reuse of some of the classic Badalamenti suspense music from the original series which begins to trickle in over the old-timey music in the diner over the end credits. You can hear it get layered in under the song, I'm pretty not sure I was not imagining it. I don't know the exact cue. It becomes really disturbing, like you're watching the town going about its business as evil is growing closer. It's appropriate after the long Roadhouse scene which ends with a brutal punctuation which reveals the slimy Renaults still own it, still traffic in underage girls and still go about their same old business. The underside of Twin Peaks is still there. Especially creepy was the ominous final line, which Walter Olkewicz hisses in this animalistic voice: "He owes me for two." 6 Link to comment

Happy Harpy June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 This should have been episode 2. Finally, a true follow-up to the cliffhanger. This is what I wanted: More significant plots, more character development, and more links to the original. Lots of scenes in Twin Peaks make Twin Peaks better, even when a good part of them is actually exposition. And at long last, a mention of Audrey. Cooper visiting her at the hospital reminded me of their beautiful relationship and at the same time the implications are horrifying ; it's exactly the kind of unsettling contradiction I expect from Twin Peaks. I'm not sure I'm going to like the direction it takes, of course, but it makes terrible sense. I wonder why Ben didn't mention his daughter: In-universe reasons, or for the sake of stalling? I had the same feeling with Diane not telling about what happened with EvilCoop. Minimal Dougie and yay, Real Cooper sighting. I'm not holding my breath for a complete re-emergence any time soon, but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised. Other Truman is much better when his wife isn't around and he's doing cop work, I even felt the connection between the brothers who never were in a scene together. I still miss Harry and regret that Michael Ontkean declined to join the revival. The original wasn't exactly a funny picnic, but between all the (implied) rapes and cancers, the atmosphere of the revival leans a bit too much toward the heavily depressing; the knowledge that several cast members were indeed fighting the big C, and lost, does nothing to help. Still can't stand Tammy Preston; not that the character does anything, but the actress grates. At first, I wondered if Beverly's husband would be Leo, from his pose in the wheelchair. I found Ashley Judd good, but I hope her scene had a point in the general scheme of things because I feel that too much time was wasted on digressions so far. Is Diane a hooker now? I thought that the creepy silhouette looked like BOB, with the denim clothes (unless I didn't see well) and the long hair; I half-expected the creep to assault the army woman. The show isn't there yet for me, but this episode was a huge improvement and I hope it lasts. 2 Link to comment

Poor Josie. Imagine the things she's seen. 1 Link to comment

Kind of the way a john would leave a prostitute after a transaction. I liked this episode, but I feel as if they are showing events in real time. Or that they are showing everything they filmed, and nothing ended up on the cutting room floor. I saw it the other way: Diane had a gigolo over, and he was leaving. Or he was a one-night stand from the bar from the rainy night. Well, Dougie Coop's attempted hit is on Vegas news television. It shouldn't be long till FBI finds him. 3 Link to comment

My closed captioning told me he said, "Anyone seen Bing?" but I read in the Times this morning the quote was, "Anyone seen Billy?" Either way, I don't know what that means. Maybe the guy who was supposed to meet Andy? Speaking of which, we know have all the three "clues" the Giant/???? told Cooper in the opening scene of Ep 1: Richard (Horne), Linda (unseen trailer park resident in wheelchair), and 4-3-0, which I interpreted to be the "4:30" the dude who owned that truck was supposed to meet Andy. What they all mean, who knows? Link to comment
