Time for one last greeting from Twin Peaks. Sorry it’s taken so long to get around to this. I never intended the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me to be the TV Club’s Chinese Democracy but I kept getting busy... Read Comments: 0

Though by far the most famous, Twin Peaks wasn’t the only David Lynch/Mark Frost co-production. They also teamed up for the documentary Hugh Hefner: Once Upon A Time and...

And now, to borrow a phrase from the Log Lady’s introduction to this episode, an ending. I think the wording’s important there. It’s definitely an ending rather than the ending for a number of... Read Comments: 0

“Episode 25”

In the long, slow pan that will eventually find Sheriff Truman in bed with his would-be assassin in this episode’s first scene, the camera sweeps past the shelves lining the walls of the Bookhouse... Read Comments: 0

“Episode 23”

Okay, raise your hand if you think the whole Josie-dies-and-gets-turned-into-the-knob-of-a-nightstand development was a desperate shock twist decided upon one episode back? Do I hear two episodes? Jeez,... Read Comments: 0

Just fair warning: I’m not going to dwell on these episodes too much since I think we can all agree that we’ve reached the ass-end of Twin Peaks. Or at least we’ve reached an area that’s ass-end... Read Comments: 0

Episode 19

Ben Horne has gone insane. The series has been suggesting this development was in the making for several episodes now—even depicting his descent quite movingly as he broke down watching home movies—but now... Read Comments: 0

Episode 17

Here’s where my memories of the show and the show itself really start to part ways. I watched this second season in 1990 and ’91 as a fairly unquestioning fan. Peaks got his claws into me early and... Read Comments: 0

“Episode 15”

So now we know. Where do we go from here? That’s the question dogging Twin Peaks in Episode 15, an entry that answers it with a defiant “nowhere.” But nowhere can be an okay... Read Comments: 0

By the time Twin Peaks aired its 14th post-pilot episode on November 10th, 1990, the show had begun to languish in the ratings. Attribute this to what you will. Maybe the novelty had worn off to the public at large,... Read Comments: 0

“Episode 12”

Oof. What happened? This episode starts well enough, with Cooper hitting the alarm and immediately reaching for the tape recorder. Even if the show had never actually featured this scene... Read Comments: 0

David Lynch never enjoyed a higher profile than in 1990. With the launch of Twin Peaks he became a household name (well, at least in moderately with-it households). In the spring of the same year, his... Read Comments: 0

“Episode 10”

After a string of episodes with nightmares at the end, we open with someone waking from a nightmare. Or was it? It’s not clear what’s upset the semi-comatose Ronette so much but something’s... Read Comments: 0

“Episode 8”

And now we plunge into season two. On the making-of doc included with the “Gold Box” set, Kimmy Robertson (Lucy) refers to it as pretty much sucking and remembers... Read Comments: 0
