Through that round opening, it looked like it was filled with garmonbozia.

It's been a long time for Cooper- how long before he even got to Twin Peaks, it is not clear. I remember him lying on his back, shot and bleeding to death, making a last words recording to Diane: "I would very much like to make love to a beautiful woman who I had genuine affection for. I would like that very much." …

Yeah, that was the idea, that it was actually the same flower on Earth that gave the Scarran ruling class their heightened intelligence.

Iron Man, Iron Man
Does whatever an iron can,
Presses pants, any size,
Steams all collars, cuffs, and flies
Hey there, isn't it irony, maaaan!

Season 4 is an important milestone for the show and the first to go to the more cinematic 16x9 aspect ratio. It would have been my favorite season had it not been hamstrung by cancellation and, I suspect, budget cuts, towards the end. However, it looks fantastic, and starts out great with the introduction of Sikozu…

It's been awhile, but, at the beginning of Bad Timing, an intercepted communication reveals that the Scarrans have discovered the location of the active wormhole connecting their region of space to Earth- the one that Chriton created in Unrealized Reality. They have cause, because Chriton inadvertently revealed that…

My kids and I all agreed that Carnival Magic was definitely the worst of the worst.

I think you are right about that. I'd missed that the two texts switched from lowercase to uppercase letters until it was pointed out. It's little details like this that make me love watching the show with all the internet analysis between episodes. TV as a crowd-sourced mystery has never been so fun or strange.

Now I'm thinking you are right about Jeffries, since it's been pointed out that, while Mr. C's text was all in lowercase letters, with no punctuation, the one Diane received was in all caps, with punctuation. So, it seems like it was forwarded to her from another party.

Wow, some crack investigative reporting, there. There's nothing "new" about this, at all. These are "Brewer's Blackbirds," which work in adult pairs to chase off anything they deem a threat to their nests. This happens every year during their breeding season. Been attacked by them myself many a time up in the…

He is still pretty.. catatonic, this is true. But I think his reflexes kicking in when Ike attacked have awoken something in his body and mind. However, it is possible that his mind may never fully come back, Cooper has always been operating on a higher level, guided by higher powers like the Giant, who could be…

Not sure I could parse this part as "dull," "conventional," or "coasting," when, literally, every single thing we see and hear throughout is a mystery, from the main plot points to each little word, gesture, or object within the frame. Some of these mysteries are obvious, and the answers seem so close, others we may…

Yes, absolutely one of my favorite scenes, ever.

Hmm.. those are interesting possibilities. There's definitely more to this that she's not sharing. It's possible she had some kind of horribly dysfunctional relationship with the doppelgänger, during which it might have taken her awhile to realize that this wasn't the Special Agent Dale Cooper she knew- the one who…

That was my first thought, too, but then couldn't help wondering if there was a connection to Mr. C after he texted her.

Yes, clearly, he a "seasoned veteran" of the force, which is maybe why it falls to him to follow-up on these hit-and-run and overdosing teenager cases. I don't know, maybe Andy will surprise us, like when he plugged Jean Renault.

The Brothers Fusco are like a three-headed, three-pot-bellied, six-armed, six-legged mutant frogsect Detective with one shared brain between them, adding up to some acceptable police work on the lower rungs of law enforcement.

I wonder if the doppelgänger cleaved off further aspects of Cooper's repressed personality to create Dougie 12 years ago, such as his unsupressed appetites for food and gambling. Dougie seems like he was a constellation of weaknesses that Mr. C would have no use for. If so, the doppelgänger may have acted…

One of the better directors of the original series, too.

It seems like every scene with a member of the new generation in Twin Peaks is to remind us that they are all in the same boat, with no real future outside of unemployment, drug addiction and/or prostitution.
