I dunno, I thought Episode 9 was WAY WAY WAY more 'meh' than this episode.

Any episode with a monologue that fantastic from Margaret to a silent Hawk is pretty good. The bad-boy Horne robbing Sylvia as Johnny looks on was positively brutal.

And there were all kinds of nice little moments in the episode. Harry Dean Stanton strumming his guitar. Nadine and Dr. Amp. T-Bag got a lot of great material and would be stealing any other show with it. The stuff with Candie was totally weird and great. And there was solid advancement on several levels.

I think it's a bit tough for the show to find its legs after episode 8. It's literally like a nuclear bomb exploded in the middle of the season, and even though all the characters are just going on like nothing's happened, we're left without anything in the current narrative to really... connect us to what the gently caress we saw going on there.

If this were ANY other show, we would have gotten something - some point of reference that DIRECTLY connects the events we are currently witnessing to what we saw in episode 8. I feel like the closest we've come was Margaret talking about the electricity, and stating that "Laura is the one," along with Cole's very odd vision of Laura - which he did not mention to Albert, which makes me wonder whether he's seen that before.

But this isn't any other show, so I'm almost glad we aren't getting anything to immediately explain what we saw or why, nor is Lynch holding our hand and telling us exactly where to look.

Anyone catch who that was in the photograph with Mr. C at the end? The bald fellow in the white coat. I did not recognize him as a character but the actor looked vaguely familiar. I assume he was not credited?

alright im not gonna let this "this is the chair" slander stand. come on man, the jerry scene, albert's little moment, the reveal of coop rediscovering the majesty of the american experiment, bobby's childlike glee and emotion with his father's message. it blew even episode 8 out of the loving water and is probably in the top five episodes so far.

I really liked HDS and Candie's slapstick with the fly but altogether imo the episode didnt earn many of its very languid scenes.

also the mixing on the roadhouse song made my ears bleed

Agreed on the mixing on the Roadhouse song, that was rough and I normally crank the volume for TP to get full force of background electricity noise so that was rough for me AND my cats.

I just happen to like the languid scenes, and episode 9 felt... a bit busy to me! I liked the pace of this one more. I did love Bobby's childlike glee in ep 9, and I do think it was an absolutely fine episode, but this one felt more to my taste.

Also it's weird watching Twin Peaks and Game of Thrones back to back with how different their approaches to narrative, even in a light episode like episode 10, are.

I actually said it before in the wrong thread, but TP takes absolute precedence over GOT to me.

I mean, we get GOT every year and it's just like a regular summer thing, more or less, and we'll still get more GOT after next year, frankly, with the spin-offs like Dunk/Egg or whatever it ends up being.

But how often does there happen to be an 18-hour sequel to what is perhaps my favorite film ever made airing over the course of the summer 25 freakin' years after said film came out - to a chorus of highly undeserved boos from critics and a poor box office, no less? poo poo like that just *does not* happen. I mean I guess it's also a sequel to the series but it feels more in the spirit of FWWM, even with recent silliness.

I felt like that scene was similar to the scene where she takes down dictation of Mike and Bobby. She's more clever than she's given credit for. She's going to dig around in the garbage or something and get that letter.

I feel like no one will agree with me, but I did not miss Danzig at all this episode. I like having lovely real characters with transparent motivation leading the evil doings (Richard, Chad, and even Insurance Man).
Danzig is just kinda dull being this badass mysterious unstoppable force. I dislike him just doing goofy poo poo with electronics while moving through episodes in some unknown direction with no flourish. He had Bob inside of him but you would never know except for lovely CGI. Remember how unsettling he was in the Lodge and the bathroom scene? I miss that.

Danzig needs a some Wimdon Earle sprinkled in him. :(

:smith: I will defend Wimdon Earle till the end dammit. Danzig would be more fun if you could see him playing cat-and-mouse with Dougie.

Also, do we have to wait 7 more episodes for them to explain what Danzig meant to Shaggy's wife? I want them to string a simpleton like me along with just some small answers.

Honestly just the fact the we're getting the first major project from Lynch at all after a decade is pretty amazing.

I think I agree with this at least a bit. Presumably the main story is between Mr. C and Dougie, but there are so many just awful people and sort of decent people in between. I've felt from early episodes that maybe some of the side-plots are just brief vignettes about how people are terrible that have nothing to do with the main plot. They're just Lynch saying "Fix your hearts or die!" in a way. The people who are just straight up assholes and not possessed by lodge spirits are the true evil.

To be fair, Laura was very much a pillar of that community that everyone knew. No one else in town really gave a poo poo when that agoraphobic guy died, or that Renault brother Leo killed that I forget the name of.

I honestly kind of don't like this about it but it's just the age of television we live in now I guess.

The visual effects are very schizophrenic, they alternate between being drat good practical effects, followed by SciFi Channel Original Movie CGI, followed by crazy movie-quality CGI effects, followed by that shot of Ray shooting Booper where his gun looked like it had a muzzleflash MS Paint-ed onto it. I cannot for the life of me tell if it is on purpose or not.

My great-grandfather started Larsen Pork Products with little more than three pigs and a killing hammer. Today, I'm proud to say, we kill more pigs than pig hepatitis.
I wasn't a huge fan of the last episode (still enjoyed it a lot since Twin Peaks is the best show currently airing on TV), but this one was fantastic to me. It reminded me of a lot of the old runs best episodes, in that it expertly blended quirky humor, mysticism, and disturbing violence.
