A lot of the original 'light' characters are still there, but the story does not focus on them. The focus is so much on the supernatural evil that each episode is a draining experience. It's not bad storytelling, but I wouldn't call it 'fun'.Remcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355810571884915463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73010288480165693142017-07-02T13:46:28.942-04:002017-07-02T13:46:28.942-04:00I already know how the rest of the season is going...I already know how the rest of the season is going be. Awesome. For me, the measure of a good movie or television episode is how much I think about it after watching it. This episode affected me deeply. I can't begin to understand it all. I never read the Mark Frost book. But this is a show that is not so much for entertaining as it is for experiencing. It is abstraction versus realism. Twin Peaks is the same now as it was then. It is like nothing else on television. Today, there are many shows like the original Twin Peaks. At the time it came out, there was nothing like it. Going into this, I thought I wanted the old Twin Peaks. Now, I know I am getting exactly what I wanted.

After this episode, her friend sent her an email that said, "Maybe I don't really like David Lynch. Maybe I just thought I did when I was fifteen."<br /><br />Bet she keeps watching anyway.TheShadowKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073693648569864707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-71681554694129823902017-07-01T02:46:21.848-04:002017-07-01T02:46:21.848-04:00Yes, because Spike and Andrew work as fry cooks in...Yes, because Spike and Andrew work as fry cooks in the back.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-69159791101835111532017-07-01T02:43:46.394-04:002017-07-01T02:43:46.394-04:00Does it also have those flower shaped things made ...Does it also have those flower shaped things made from onions?

I don't claim to understand all of it, but I think I have a pretty good idea at what Lynch and Frost were getting at. At least I think I do. <br /><br />What I still don't get is how a small town bar like the Roadhouse manages to get bands like the Nine Inch Nails to perform?

The young boy and girl don't seem to be the Palmers, for instance. So what is the significance of the girl's possession? Is it an illustrative vignette and nothing more, or part of a mythology that will affect future episodes?

Also it appeared that a demon resembling the one that appeared in the box in the first episode came across. The demon was seemingly vomiting eggs, and I believe the idea was that the frog-bug that hatched and was swallowed by the girl came from one of those eggs. So at this point I'm going to assume the frog-bug was a possessing spirit (like "Bob") and that the "Hobo" knocked people in the town out so they could become hosts for similar frog-bugs/possessing spirits.<br /><br />Or something along those lines.TheShadowKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073693648569864707noreply@blogger.com
