So because I'll be obsessed with Twin Peaks for a while, Reddit will be the place I frequent often, no doubt. Already, I have noticed folks so attune to Lynch's style and comedy. I love when his fans notice things I don't, too. Like the bartender. Definitely a bunch of us are in agreement that the apartment scene with the nosy neighbor (and her pet doggy), smelling the dead body of neighbor Ruth, calling the cops, having a key to her room THE WHOLE TIME, yet sending those poor officers on a wild goose chase that leads them to a janitor working in drugs obviously (and thinking he's caught!) hoping to locate the set of keys from the brother of the super (the brothers even hate each other!), then realizing she has her own, is a standout. It is such a Lynchian comedy sequence that reminds us that he might have been carrying us around on cross-country subplots he hasn't abandoned what makes his work so delightfully crazy. From there it seemed the show just kept getting more Lynchian and I left the first two episodes satisfied. I do want Cooper to be allowed to leave the fucking Black Lodge and get his life back, although Bob has surely fucked it up big-time. I can only imagine Bob has left a trail of bodies, as I commented in a previous blog post. Of course there is so much content to dwell on. For a majority of time, Lynch introduced a plethora of new characters, only really giving us some of the previous cast in specific sequences. Like the beloved Log Lady who tells Hawk she's too weak to accompany him on his journey to find Cooper...we on Reddit are mourning her passing but she did get to contribute so many of us were happy about that. It made my heart hurt to know she was probably too sick to actively participate. Those who loved the show were used to her showing up at perfectly odd-timed moments to provide details to the cops regarding what the log told her. As far as the other subplots like Coop infiltrated by Bob killing a sexy younger lover plotting his demise and Lillard, a principal, seemingly framed for the murder of Ruth, I'm still dwelling on them. The machine being watched in the New York high rise by some guy with cameras recording potential activity and how something comes out of it to attack him and some girl he knows that initiates sex. There's a lot to process in a show like this. Lynch and Frost certainly give us a lot to take in. Plenty of what the fuck that I absorbed with plenty of bewilderment.
