Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 8 - A real 3 Hanky Crime
Scott and Christopher return to discuss the first episode of the second season of Twin Peaks, “May the Giant Be With You”. Directed by David Lynch with a story by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and a teleplay by Mark Frost, this episode sets expectations high. Airing on September 30th, 1990 to an audience of 19.1 million the second season opener barely managed to improve on the ratings of the finale.
The Log Lady intro is all about dreams and she asks if every person in our dreams is actually us.
When last we left Twin Peaks, Agent Cooper had been shot three times by an unknown assailant, This episode picks up moments later with cooper on the floor and a tall elderly member of the Great Northern staff bringing Cooper his warm milk. The mysterious and potentially supernatural elements kick into high gear as a giant tells Cooper in a vision three important things.
When Cooper wakes up in the hospital, the audience gets caught up on all the cliffhangers from the finale with Lucy playing the part of a “Previously on…”
Leland seems happier this season and he has a shocking new hairstyle. There are a lot of scenes in Twin Peaks Hospital and Albert has his moments good and bad. Bobby and Major Briggs have a touching moment at the Double R an we see a family dinner at the Hayward’s with the Palmers as guests that includes a song and dance.
The extended season premier has a good deal of the trademark Lynch quirk and may have dragged a bit in parts. Did this episode live up to your expectations from Lynch and Frost? Let us know what you think! Reach out to us on social media:
