Thought it was cool, and noteworthy, that they dedicated this one to the memory of the character.

Mike and I talked earlier today about our lingering questions and where we're at heading into Part 15. One of the things we hit on was how Lynch would always say, these past 25+ years, that the world of Twin Peaks was still there, as though the characters had a life of their own, whether we were privy to it or not. So I had that in mind as I watched tonight. So glad to be seeing these people again, and catching up with them. Ed and Norma <3
 
And, but then the death of the log lady hit hard.
 
Of course, I don't think any of our questions were answered entirely. Hope some of y'all might give a listen. Regular podcast on Part 15 in a couple days.

Now I feel like I cheapened it by plugging the podcast. Sorry Margaret.

And she said that RIGHT after Dougie played with his fork. 😉

Cooper's return confirmed 😛

See I don't feel the same as the OP.. I thought it should have been dedicated to the person who played this character.. she had a long standing relationship with Lynch.. I wasn't touched by it.. it actually really bothered me.. It felt like .. I don't know it cheapened it to me, but that's just my opinion .. and you know what they say about opinions ?

They did dedicate an episode to Catherine, earlier in the season.

Yep, as as such, I was touched they dedicated to the character. She is the only character (as opposed to actor) sho has recieved this honor, and she deserved it.

Leaving aside the dedication to the character, I found every second of Catherine Coulson's screentime this season, but especially the scene in part 15, to be the most touching, heart-breaking thing I've ever seen on TV. It looks like those scenes have been shot in her very last days, she's visibly weak and she plays a character who's also dying, openly speaking about her imminent death. It just gives you the idea how much she loved her job, how much she loved Twin Peaks and what she was going to do just to be part of the revival. And at the same time seeing the character, a fictional person, dying, knowing that shortly after the scene was filmed the actress, a real person, died as well, makes it all more real, and makes you care more that you usually would for a character dying in a show, no matter how much you loved the character.

Definitely. Well said. ?

Hi  Cæmeron,

My favorite part: the dimming of the lights in her cabin.

The perfect paean to the Log Lady.  🙁

I agree.  I couldn't stop myself from thinking how... I don't think anyone but herself could have wrote her script.  And i wouldn't be surprised if she was the one wanting to give this beautiful open farewell

I agree with both, entirely. It was her way on saying goodbye... as an actress and character aswell. I not only felt her tears real, but I share them. It made me cry, that it was her, as you said giving an open farewell.

It was such a beautiful scene.  Her strength was evident even as her life faded away.  I can't think of another television scene that affected me more.
