Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
In the whole, I'm hoping this episode is the one you can jump while binge watching.
I sure hope there will be no more episodes like this one.
I prefer watching Dougie stuff over this anytime.
Hopefully, next episode will be a "normal" episode.
The consensus is that episode was the origin of bob and Laura.
I think it was a big drawn out to fill an hour (like, did we need the WHOLE Nin song to be played?), but overall it made sense....Kinda.
I think this is getting out of hand. Any more of this, and the show is bound to be doomed.
I loved all of it. No doom here...
As I was watching the episode, I felt this would probably be the one that divides a lot of fans. The long, drawn out scenes were a bit much for some. I hated the NiN performance, but wonder if the lyrics are relevant to the story. It was definitely not normal television, which is what Lynch is going for.
Without context this episode could be seen as self indulgence but until we see all 18 we won't know how important all this is. God help anyone who decided to pop their twin peaks cherry tonight.
The first season lost a lot of viewers when things got too Lynchie. That's okay. When there are big detours from the more familiar narrative, I just enjoy the pure crushing beauty of what i see and hear. There's never been anything like it. It's an other-worldly experience-simultaneously horrific, gorgeous, and funny.
I had to take a step back and remind myself to relax and enjoy the beauty and creativity of what was unfolding rather than be overly concerned about the progression. I think in our society today there are a lot of people that want instant gratification and simple straightforward plots, that is why a lot of really dumb movies tend to do so well at the box office. Those people will not like this episode.
I wonder who are the teen age couple lealand parents or dale cooper parents????
I had to work to do the same and to not hyperventilate during the visuals. They really triggered feelings of panic and...awe? Very powerful

If you look at the lyrics to the song Nine Inch Nails performs, it was very very relevant. There are no mistakes when it comes to Lynch
"She's Gone Away"
Spread the infection, where you spill your seed
I can't remember what she came here for
I can't remember much of anything anymore
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone away
Away
Away
Yeah, I was watching on the day she died
We keep licking while the skin turns black
Cut along the length, but you can't get the feeling back
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone away
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone away
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone away
Away
Away
Away
Away
(Are you still here?)
Well, at the very least I grabbed on to the fact that the music playing during the White Sands 1945 scene (that long, trippy visual scene with the atomic explosion) was a song written about the "victims of Hiroshima" - a well-known piece of music in its time. I saw this scene as an origin story about the way that evil appeared in the world. The beginning of the kind of evil which Cooper and the others are facing was the appearance in the domain of human technology of nuclear weapons. This is like a "hole in the Force" (to use a Star Wars phrase) or what have you, which I think the crazy-looking visuals were partly meant to symbolize: the meddling of humanity into the natural order of things. This successful attempt by humans to expand their control through science over the natural world created Bob and other dark forces in the world.
The scene with the giant and the woman was like a reaction to this creation of evil. Somehow, Laura Palmer is supposed to represent the world's salvation. Yet, I wonder, if the teen couple were Laura's eventual parents, if the scene with the radio and the magic verses which make the hearers fall asleep, and the insect that came from the desert, was meant to show a kind of corruption somehow? I wasn't sure about that.
Anyway, I liked it well enough. Hope to see more "Dougie" next episode though. Jane give two rides.
Yeah, come on guys, even though this episode's gone so far off from the old series, you gotta love watching a frog-legged insect crawl inside a sleeping girl's mouth....
