The thing you get from the Fire Walk With Me film is that, amongst the Cooperisms, the small town insidiousness, the parables of good and evil, the coffee and the cherry pie, this was always the story of Laura Palmer.
From hefty yarns and scary surprises in the Dragon Pit to some sibling bonding and even a little impending doom. Must've been that Season Seven finale.
EvilCoop strolls up to the convenience store – as in: the convenience store, the one from the atomic flashbacks – and demands to see Phillip Jeffries. A Woodsman takes him in, another takes him to Jeffries...
The North of the Wall Olympics, some high stakes sibling rivalries, plenty of stuff with dragons and what not... there's only one more ep this season!
Two episodes left in the season and the boys are marching north, all the way north. Meanwhile Cersei's spilling secrets and Littlefinger's up to his old tricks. Plus there's also an old mate returns who knows how to handle a pair of oars and a hammer.
About that ring then. It’s not an unfamiliar piece of jewellery, in fact it dates way back. Green and with that little symbol on it, the one from the owl cave… Laura Palmer used to wear one just like it.
Dragon fire, a lost dagger, scorched soldiers, old enemies, reunited families, secret plotting, debts paid, scorpions fired, battles won, grain lost... and that's not even the half of it.
So… hands up who had Big Ed in the ‘Last Returning Character to Show Their Face’ sweepstakes?
Jon met Dany and traded titles, Cersei made a few power plays, Olenna got the last laugh... but 'what did the Doc and WC think of the episode?' is the real question.
King's Landing or Winterfell. Bend the knee or raise a middle finger. Brown the butter or save time cooking. Save your sister or jump overboard. Plenty of choices in this one so luckily WC and the Doc are here to spill wisdom on the latest slice of Thronery.
One of the most brilliant things about this show is how one character can tell another character that he had a dream the cut on his face had healed and then pull the plaster off the dude’s face and you’re not even surprised to find out that it had.
Extended visions from within an atomic explosion… strange darkened apparitions that crush skulls and broadcast weird poems… that frog-bug that hatched from an egg...
Hey we learned some stuff this week. New information came to light. Revelations were made. Theories were given a further step towards validation.
It was clear roughly three minutes into the premiere of the rebooted series that trying to place these episodes into any kind of usual judgement would be insane.
Dr Amp, Steve & Beckie, Lucky 7 Insurance, DoppelCoop’s light trick, the creepo at the Bang Bang Bar… we covered some distance here, folks. And yet it almost feels like we went nowhere at all.
Yo, forget about winter… war is coming. Big old sloppy war, mass casualties on all sides, plenty of short-sighted and aggressive politics… general chaos in other words.
Twin Peaks itself is a show about a murder in Small Town USA, population 51201. There are standoffs with guns, there are significant drug syndicates, there are passionate love affairs, there are nefarious deals being done.
The Red Room is the defining image of Twin Peaks. It’s a dazzling scene full of such weirdness that you cannot watch it without leaning in, agasp at the audacity that someone would commit such a thing to television.
