It finally started to make some sense, until it didn’t again in the end.

Nothing could’ve prepared me for the joy and inner warmth I felt when the Twin Peaks theme started and the fully restored Dale Cooper sprang into action, an amazing payoff for the long journey we’ve been through for the past 14 weeks. The ease with which MacLachlan returned to his most iconic role was astounding, to…

I liked, how instead of his catchphrase, Coop made a “hm” look that signaled a pretty pedestrian cup of coffee.

I think maybe pur accountant friend had a side job.

I’d believe that theory of the Roadhouse if James and Superglove hadn’t shown up there last week. It could still be true, it just seems weird.

The Night King might be moving south on the back of a dragon, but Coop is moving north, obeying all traffic laws along the way.

My money’s on Coop.

For as much (both banal and supernatural) evil is on display in this episode and in the entire Twin Peaksiverse, what struck me in this episode the most was the emphasis on goodness, kindness, and humanity at its best. Janey-E may have started off a brassy shrew, but I’ve come to really sympathize with her and…

Holy shit. I recently commented on the Twin Peaks music article that I’d like to hear more jazz in The Return, and what do we get? Audrey’s Dance! Which to me shows that not only can Twin Peaks get weirder (and how!) but suggests that maybe the Roadhouse is some kind of liminal place...? The way people ignored that…

I agree with the A rating, it had everything... Couple of thoughts - seeing Audrey change over the last quarter century from a beautiful, young, optimistic teen to an embittered, angry cynical woman is one of the most horrifying things this season. I would also quibble with the dispatch of Richard Horne as ‘hardly a…

omfgbbq so good. Thoughts -

Anyone else delighted by the fact that Candy knew to hand Cooper a mug of hot coffee as a pick-me-up in the limo? That wordless little nod to Our Coop of Old made me smile a lot.

“You’re my dad!”
“I AM your dad!”

There’s a weird kind of truth there, but “great grandfather” might be more accurate. Cooper begat Evil Cooper, who begat Dougie, who begat Sonny Jim.

Say what you want bout Evil Cooper but he sure planned ahead. Dougie, Diana, Richard, Assassins. It’s gonna take a lot to send him back to the Lodge.

Misophonia is a real thing. I remember a friend telling me I needed to check out some show, and when I finally tried watching it there was a guy slurping his soup about 10 minutes in, and I shut it off and never went back. I guess Foley artists just don’t care about those of us with unusual disorders that sound…

In hell there is no ketchup or cheetos?

“Bad binoculars! Bad, bad binoculars!”

I created a Kinja account just to continue talking about how brilliant this show is. I was clamoring for Cooper to wake up for the last few episodes, but damn if this episode didnt make it all worth the wait. Having our Special Agent return just as alert, thoughtful, and kind as he normally was, unchanged after 25…

Who else jumped up, pumped their fists and shouted, “Yes!” when Cooper woke up from the coma entirely himself? I grew to love Dougie but I actually got a little teary when Coop came back. Oh, how we have missed his inherent goodness.

(Please like so I can escape the grey.)

Of everything in this episode I think what stayed with me most was the way that Chantal and Hutch died. It was borne of complete stupidity and rage on all sides, and played with our expectations in that they were killers, they were terrible people, yet I was still very disturbed by the way they died, and I actually…
