Twin Peaks: The Return – Part 13
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.
I’ve had flies buzzing around that I just couldn’t catch too. Every single time I would’ve smacked a casino overlord in the face with a remote control to make them go away.
Ah yes, the plethoric British accents, the freezing landscapes, the opening credits that are way too long… must be that new season of Game of Thrones we’ve been hearing so much about.
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...
There are only four weeks left until the dawn of season seven and if you can feel that wintery breeze coming over you then you know it's only getting closer to the end.
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.
Say ladies… have you met Dougie Jones? Doesn’t seem to talk too much these days, nor does he have a whole lot of independent thoughts all of a sudden, but he’s lost a little weight
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.
Oh what’s that, you were expecting a happy cutesy nostalgic Twin Peaks revival? You thought David Lynch was coming back to serve doughnuts and coffee and say hello to old friends?
It’s a commonly held belief that the second season of Twin Peaks, compared to the first season, is kinda trash.
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.
It doesn’t take much to bring you back, a scent or a sound, a word or a phrase, perhaps a sparrow sitting innocently on a branch, fading into a logging factory as smoke rises towards a cloudless sky
