TWIN PEAKS Season 2 EP 1 Uncut

After watching Twin Peaks, especially this episode(also the pilot and few others) your life will never be the same ;)

The scene at 27:00 kills me everytime. Why did Ben Horne hop on the table and hit the griddy?!

I dunno, I always thought Hank kinda looks like a young Bryan Cranston

Unk

Miss him too :(

Ethereal is a word, and it's a very good descriptor of Twin Peaks. I think what you are experiencing at the end there is that really odd mixture of abject horror, playful humor, and starry-eyed optimism. It really is reflective of Lynch's worldview. He could see the darkness underlying polite society, but through all the darkness, there was always a light. Even when dealing with really ugly subject matter, he displayed a deep idealism and love for humanity. His work especially stands out now, in a world so filled with cynicism. Man, I miss him.

True life story about the beautiful Salish Lodge: My grandmother's second husband leaped off the Snoqualmie Falls in the early 70s. He was devastated after being conned out of their life savings by a couple swindlers. Very sad.

"Get your mind off Shelly." Easier said than done Coop.

Dale Cooper

I think everyone hates the old waiter first time through (save Coop, you old coot!), and wishes there was 10x as much of him on subsequent watches. J: "...I'm gonna think this place is cursed". Well, the Sheriff said as much ("...there's a sort of evil out there. Something very, very strange in these old woods...") when inducting Coop into the Bookhouse Boys. Norma and Shelley's relationship is so cute. Feels like the daughter she wishes she'd had. I love that scene with Bobby and the Major. Beautifully written, and masterfully delivered by the late great Don. S Davis (RIP Hammond of Texas *waves hand above head*). Ashbrook's acting was wonderful too. J: "...He went in and did his thing, saved a couple people man." I don't think Pete saved anyone. Catherine saved Shelley, and Catherine is missing. His heart was in the right place though, if not his judgement (and choice of affections). There aren't enough superlatives for the end sequence, good lord. I can't imagine how that hit TV audiences in 1991. Amazing direction (Laura's bared, bloody teeth as she looks sideways in agony at the camera, geez), and especially acting from Sheryl Lee (what a star, all time #1 screamer) . But the part that doesn't get talked about enough IMO, is the sudden zoomed image of the gnashing teeth as he runs at the camera. Such a suggestively violent and confronting image. David Lynch is a genius at creating sequences that are so cutting.

The scene with Major Briggs telling Bobby about his vision is quite possibly my favorite scene in anything ever. I just love it so much. It also takes on additional emotional weight after you have watched The Return. I'll repeat what Yours truly, Johnny Dollar said below. There's a video on youtube where Dana Ashbrook talks about that scene and how it came to be. Mark Frost wrote the dialogue, so that beautiful monologue by Major Briggs was all Frost. But Frost told Ashbrook that Bobby should scoff at his dad's vision. And honestly, that is consistent with Bobby's character up to that point. However, when it came time to film the scene, David Lynch told him that Bobby should be deeply moved by it. The fact that it is such an unexpected moment of sincerity only makes it more impactful. I often cite that scene as an example of the power of artistic collaboration. Here's the video with Dana Ashbrook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbOkagvRQgQ

Love this premiere! It has just the right combo of humor, heart, weirdness and horror that makes this show so special, I’m glad you’re into it.

William Davis

Dana Ashbrook (Bobby) in interviews has said about that scene that either in the notes in the script or at a table read he was told to play it for humor like some his earlier scenes with Don Davis. But because David Lynch was directing this one, he took Dana aside and told him to play it sincerely and to be vulnerable.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar
