Twin Peaks #2.2: Coma

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

OK so I remember now why Audrey is working at One-Eyed Jack’s… it’s because Laura had. This is contrasted with Donna working at Meals On Wheels… because Laura had. The dark side of Laura vs. her good side, I guess. Neither scene revealed a whole lot though. Audrey discovered who owned [...]

Twin Peaks #2.1: May The Giant Be With You

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

For some reason I’d been finding this show to be a bit of a chore to watch. Feels intimidating in some way. But I liked this episode a lot, and maybe it will spur me to finish.
The big surprise was that this show kept going and never ending. Turns out it was [...]

Twin Peaks #1.8: The Last Evening

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

All the wondering when things would happen–no longer. Things happened here. I realized afterwards, it is because season one is over! I had no idea, thought there were a few more coming. Nope, it’s a cliffhanger!
As a season ender, I thought it was really good. A lot of those [...]

Twin Peaks #1.7: Realization Time

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

“Realization Time”! Did it lead me to any realizations? I guess so?
The police went undercover at One-Eyed Jack’s Casino & Brothel, in order to find Jacques. They do, at the end. I’m not real clear what they suspect Jacques of. Also, Audrey is also undercover there. She [...]

Twin Peaks #1.6: Cooper’s Dreams

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I cannot figure out why I have been unable to get into the swing of this show. I like it, I enjoy the story and am interested, it’s mysterious and intriguing. But I just don’t get in any momentum of watching it, like with other shows, when I watch one or two a [...]

Twin Peaks #1.5: The One Armed Man

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

This episode was relatively quiet, and sane. It was nice. It was mostly concerned with the ongoing police investigation, which continues to heavily rely on Agent Cooper’s dreams. They did hint though that lots of the characters have crazy dreams–they’ve shown Laura’s mother have them, but there was mention that Laura herself [...]

Twin Peaks #1.4: Rest In Pain

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

This episode was alright, but definitely seemed like a placeholder, transitional-type episode. There was constant foreshadowing and warnings. Bobby interrupted the funeral, shouting how everyone’s at fault for Laura’s death. The Sheriff was talking about the evil darkness lurking around Twin Peaks. Even the Factory Owner lady was explicit, saying “something [...]

Twin Peaks #1.3: Zen, or The Skill To Catch A Killer

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

The first two episodes, as I take it, were just showing all the characters and a bit of how they’re related and maybe how they were affected by Laura’s death.  Now, the weird stuff can happen!  Fun!
This episode was highlighted by Agent Cooper’s zen techniques of investigation, which apparently all stem from dreams.  And then [...]

Twin Peaks #1.2: Traces To Nowhere

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

What hit me about this, the first real “episode” of the show, was how many characters are involved. And most of those characters got one scene, maybe two. But it was enough. Clearly this series is going to be one in which the stories fit together. For instance, Pretty Waitress: early [...]

Twin Peaks #1.1: Pilot

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

The first “episode” of Twin Peaks was actually a 90-minute TV movie-type thing. It was not nearly as odd as I was expecting, but I assume it was just hinting at things to come.
The death of Laura Palmer is of course what triggers the story. Her body washes up on a [...]
