Just You and I Makes Three: The Ballad of James Hurley
When Twin Peaks: The Return Part 13 ended with James Hurley on stage at the Roadhouse singing “Just You” many fans felt as though they were being trolled. The song is infamously divisive, and here it was being presented in the same space that had previously been held by the Chromatics, [The] Nine Inch Nails, […] More

Lizzie & The Makers: Dear Onda Wahl Is a Love Letter to Music
The Bluesy riff is familiar, Lizzie & The Makers tell us. Yes, but on this second album, Dear Onda Wahl, it’s done with stunning style. Band from NYC. Release number three. Just happens to be… Brilliant. Cor! That slide is rough as a badger’ behind, a little piano under it and ghostly organ leading us […] More

Fear and Love Open the Door in Twin Peaks Episode 27
What happened to Josie, Coop? By Twin Peaks Episode 27, she’s gone, though Pete says that he sees her face during a brief scene wherein he stares at the wall of the Great Northern…or is it just that painting on the mantel? The most reasonable hypothesis seems to be that fear killed her […] More

Puzzles and Games Abound in Twin Peaks Episode 26
Bishop takes pawn. It’s a seemingly simple move. And it’s the one that Windom Earle makes over the course of Twin Peaks Episode 26, “Variations on Relations.” The episode opens at Owl Cave, with Cooper examining what viewers will come to know as the map to the Black Lodge. It’s then that we switch to […] More

Twin Peaks Episode 25: Love Can Put You in a Dream as Easily as Fear Can
When I think back to Twin Peaks Episode 25, I fondly remember Gordon meeting Shelly for the first time, Dale’s silly penguin joke, and even Ben Horne passing a carrot like a cigar to John Justice Wheeler. It’s a fun, healing kind of episode, but it’s not a fluffy one, not at its foundation. Turns […] More

Twin Peaks Episode 24: The World Could Break Apart with Sadness
Welcome, dear reader, as we continue our original series rewatch of Twin Peaks with a review and analysis of Episode 24, aka S2E17, aka “Wounds and Scars.” This episode marked the return of Twin Peaks after a six-week hiatus. Realistically, at this point, there should have been no one left but us diehards. Ratings on […] More

Twin Peaks Episode 22: What Did You Expect? An Apology? A Hidden Heart of Gold?
Twin Peaks Episode 22 centers on relations of power. Thus, I suppose, the German title (“Slaves and Masters”), which makes me tempted to take off into an exegesis of Hegel’s Master/Slave dialectic, but I unfortunately don’t think that would be terribly fruitful. If there is a dialectic in Episode 22, it would be one without […] More

Twin Peaks Episode 21 is Stuck In Dreams and Nightmares
For varying reasons, Episodes 17 through at least 23 have a reputation so poor that many fans skip them outright when rewatching the series, Twin Peaks Episode 21 is no different. The existential tone of dread seems nearly absent, and Twin Peaks becomes a fun, melodramatic farce as a result. The high melodrama and silliness […] More

Twin Peaks Episode 20: Who Brought The Nightmare To Twin Peaks?
Episode 20, “Checkmate”, is certainly some of the best of the worst of Twin Peaks. Whenever I have to convince people to watch Twin Peaks and they protest by citing the dip in quality of the second season, I make a point of insisting that while the James-Evelyn plotline is a chore, some of the best moments […] More

Witches, Devils, and Ill-Conceived Love Stories in Twin Peaks Episode 19
Twin Peaks Episode 19, “The Black Widow,” is all setups and midgame drama, with the big events of the season yet to come and quite a bit of true weirdness thrown in for good measure. There is an idea that even the worst episode of a great television show is better than the best episode […] More
