Welcome back to the podcast with Scott and Chris. As always, we want to hear from you what you think of it, what you like, don’t like or think we’re missing out on. No spoilers, though. It’s been a long time, so a lot of this feels new to our declining minds.
Although recorded before the tragic events in Orlando, perhaps while we can give David Lynch, Mark Frost and the other shapers of Twin Peaks for progressive attitudes to gender and sexuality, there is obviously a long way to go. The Black Lodge is close to too many hearts.
As far as the episode, It’s written by Frost, Robert Engels and Harley Peyton and directed by Tim Hunter. As the Log Lady intro suggests, after the revelation (of Laura Palmer and Maddie Ferguson’s murderer) comes the sadness, which mine might take as a metacommentary on the arguable decline of the series from this point onward. But, and it’s an important but, the question of why these murders occurred still remains, and right now, it’s still compelling, as we return to the mystery of the old woman and boy magician, the little man from the Red Room, the Giant and the Old Man, and the connection between Leland and Bob .
There’s also the matter of Agent Cooper figuring out who the killer is and cleverly apprehending him. We also, somewhat awkwardly, bring Major Briggs to a more prominent place in our cast. And speaking of awkward, what was with that montage of still photos?
Are you following along with us? We’d love to hear from you.
