The show was billed as NIN cover band, "The Nine-Inch Nails," which is fronted by "Purple Hughes," who was said to also lead a George Michael cover band in Seattle. But patrons were amazed to see that it was actually "The" Nine Inch Nails playing a surprise gig at The Roadhouse. In an article in the Twin Peaks…

The pilot episode is a must, for sure, and, if you like that, watch the rest of Season 1 and parts 9-17, 29, and 30 from Season 2. The final episode, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and Twin Peaks: Missing Pieces have the most important clues for unraveling what's going on in The Return. The rest of Season 2 and the…

My personal picks so far:

It definitely felt like television's next big mutation hatched before our eyes last night.

I wonder if Jeffries or Jeffries' doppelgänger wants the Cooper-doppelgänger dead so he can "be with Bob again."

Maybe the burnt Woodsman's radioactive electromagnetic fields were distorting their nervous systems and biochemistry.

Premonitions Following an Evil Deed is absolutely brilliant. It also follows the Twin Peaks theme of aliens from another plane feeding off the energy of murdered women, the police investigating, and their loved ones psychically sensing the strange and greater truths.

Yes, and I think they take these recognizable but "transient" forms in order to interact with us and our reality, but everyone in their field of field is similarly affected- distorting our own perceptions of time- which is why the people in the car and the radio station can't speak or think properly.

Let's stick to the formula here, people!

I remember him also saying that he would "never" do TV again after ABC canceled the Mulholland Drive pilot and refused to air it. Fortunately, TV has evolved to be a place of potentially great creativity, which is pretty amazing, and thanks in large part to Lynch/Frost.

I think Lynch sometimes prefers the effects to be done "on the cheap" to add to the irreality of it- as in, something not seen as "realistic," but, rather, as someone might dream it. It is, after all, our own suspension of disbelief that lends a fantastic image its subconscious power over us. And this is the problem…

The ceiling fan also produces that strobing effect we keep seeing, much like the alternating pattern on the floor of the red room, so it acts as a kind of gate between the worlds in Laura's mind.

It was an experiment in hand-held almost improvisational film-making, as a means to get away from the massive apparatus of movie production, including producers breathing down your neck. Part of the experiment was his fascination with the textures that mini-DV produced, especially in low light.

Neither do I, because his pop culture references have artistic merit on their own. Just as Lynch has become a part of our collective unconscious, so is everything Lynch grew up with and was influenced by is a part of his. Sharing these personalized, subconscious aspects of pop culture has always been his thing. For…

Thought that as well. Gordon Cole has clearly been on this "Blue Rose" case for a long time now. Are these two photos… "clues?"

Come to think of it, there's also Ingmar Bergman's "The Serpent's Egg," which likewise delves into the nature and banalities of "evil."

That was just what I needed to see right there and then. All day long, I’ve been caught up in material, egocentric b.s., and this was the perfect surrealist hypnotherapeutic antidote. What a wonderful journey and deepening of the show’s mythologies. A few impressions…

I can no longer abide how BBC America mutilates the presentation of this show and all their lame commercials, I just went ahead and bought the episode. So nice to see it without interruption and have the proper stinger and "next time" at the end.

Well said, "The battle of good vs evil will go on forever."

That's right, The Bang Bang Bar in Twin Peaks, Washington, affectionately known as "The Roadhouse," owned and operated by the Renault family since 1950. Saw Neko Case there in'08. Whiskey was a little watery, but the floor was clean-ish and the cover charge, reasonably priced.
