Structurally speaking, The Return has now established itself as a show *about* Cooper being trapped in Dougie Jones' place with difficulty communicating and (from all appearances) remembering who he is and understanding his surroundings. (I mean, it's obviously about a lot of other stuff too, but th...

I added 2 new entries to the list:

Part 10 - "Laura is the one."
Part 11 - "There's fire where you are going."

I think the first was less momentous than expected (though I loved the bit with the door), and the second was way more tense/exciting than almost anything before.

My response to Part 11: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/2017/07/twin-peaks-return-part-11-theres-fire.html. Loved this one. At the moment it feels like it might be a top 2 or 3 episode for me. I wonder if it will slip a little in ranking on rewatches simply because the tension of a first viewing was ...

My response to Part 10: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/2017/07/twin-peaks-return-part-10-laura-is-one.html. Just realized I hadn't shared it till now! I was fairly positive on it last Sunday, but I feel like in the following week frustrations began to emerge. Two sort of plotty, low-key episodes fol...

I've heard that some people expressed sympathy with Richard Horne in previous episodes. Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but I sure as hell hope that's over and done with now.

Prior to pt. 9 it was still remotely possible that both Twin Peaks & Vegas were part of the same dream/alternate reality...but last week delivered the final blows to that by linking evil Cooper directly to the Vegas henchman via a phone call, connecting South Dakota with the other two (already c...

Oh yeah, good point for some reason in my head I toggled the order of 3/4 to fit the pattern!

My response to Part 9: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/2017/07/twin-peaks-return-part-9-this-is-chair.html. This week I focused a lot on some of my reservations/questions about the new series. I was leaning toward doing this anyway, since we've reached the midpoint, but the most recent hour facilitat...

For some reason, I thought I had done this a while back but I guess not. So the halfway point is a good time to get this thread going. I will use it to organize/update my continuing coverage of the show via a viewing diary. Every Sunday, within a few hours, my first response goes up. I try to avoid ...

Well, I guess we now know that Tim Roth isn't playing Philip Jeffries. Thank God. I admit that I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Roth wasn't playing Jeffries. For a long time we've been living with the theory that Roth might be taking that role, but Bowie's just too one-of-a-kind for a re...

If Lucy wanted the red chair the whole time she could have just agreed immediately when Andy wanted it. I think it was meant as a genuine moment of sweetness between the two, Lucy's little smirk indicates otherwise to me. I think it's just a way for her to win while also looking like the good guy. ...

Thank God.

I'm thinking the red shoes evoked a memory of Diane. Diane was wearing red shoes in this ep, and they are probably a staple in her wardrobe. Don't think we ever saw Coop interact with Audrey when she was wearing red shoes. I think the significance was just "shoes," period (the rest - Audr...

Eric Rondell as Johnny Horne. He seems to be a stunt man and not an actor. His head injury is similar to Ben's from Doc Hayward. Hopefully, Johnny survives. Was that supposed to be inside the Great Northern? Yeah, I was wondering what the heck was going on with that scene. Didn't realize it was eit...

It's something of a pet peeve of mine when podcasters don't bother to keep themselves informed. I've been interested in hearing reactions to part 8 and listened to the Twin Peaks After Show podcast, which is presumably made up of a bunch of E! podcasters who comment on media but aren't really Twin ...
