And the episode closes with the band playing Audrey’s Dance backwards.

I always thought of the Audrey plot as a small mirror of the overarching plot of season 3. She’s trapped in a dream state at her home, finally breaks free at the Roadhouse, and wakes up somewhere else. I thought this was pretty analogous to Cooper breaking out of Twin Peaks, saving Laura, and ending up as Richard.

Oh. Hmm. I like that interpretation. Much less disjointed than I had originally thought.

Ok. So if you have a good read on this stuff maybe clear one thing up for me.

What's up with the shovels.

I’ll also add that before both Audrey and Coop “transition”, they’re both engaged in something set to music, dancing and sex.

I posted that jokingly then ended up spending time speculating on it, so here's my theory: Lynch wanted a happy ending for Ed and Norma where they end up together. So there needed to be some way to get Nadine to leave Ed, because he'd never leave her. So the whole shovel thing was just using the existing characters of Twin Peaks, pulling them into the modern era, and creating something that Nadine would get obsessed with to the point of giving up her marriage.

It seems naive to think Lynch would tack on a self-contained subplot purely as fan service, but that's all I got.

Jacoby has always been a cook. Dr amp is perfectly in character for him. The shovel is just some money making scheme. He's might as well be selling brain pills and gorilla shaped dumbbells.

Also I like to believe the Dr. Amp scenes are just barely concealed Mark Frost monologues regarding whatever pissed him off that day.

I’m watching through Twin Peaks with friends, the majority of which it is their first time and we are wading our way though the nadir of the second season and I gotta say, while it’s notable Lynch is gone, it’s still pretty good TV IMO.

What little I have seen of the bad times of season 2 is loving abominable. I picked one at random and its the one where Harry is a drunk now because Josie Packard was some kind of drug dealing assassin and Coop is trying to talk him down. This was after the fashion show scene. Goddamn I get mad just thinking about it. Just skip to the end of S2 after the mystery is revealed.

I definitely abandoned S2 during the shittiest parts on my original watch. I only finished after hearing how strong Fire Walk With Me and S3 ended up being.

I would tell someone who's never seen the show before to watch every episode, and probably make my best effort not to give my own impressions of season 2 before they've had a chance to draw their own conclusions.

That being said, if it's just me or other people who've watched everything and know where it's going, yeah gently caress that poo poo lol

There are some great scenes mixed in among the chaos of season 2.

Like the major explaining that a soul has to pass through the black lodge and face it's shadow self. Something refered to as the dweller on the threshold.

Gives a ton of context for season 3 and Audrey.

Yeah, I wish I had just gotten the advice to power through s2. I ended up doing it, but my viewing spanned like 2 full years because I just found it so loving annoying. It was the foreknowledge that Lynch was no longer involved, the show getting canceled, and just the sheer cringeyness of some of the scenes that made it seem pointless to follow through with. I'm glad I did ultimately though.

But I will never watch that terrible sequence with Donna, James, and Maddy singing together ever, ever, ever again.

its one of the best scenes in the whole show, and its a pivotal moment in the whole donna and james teenage sleuth plotline. these three dorky teens who’ve been projecting this adult 50s coolness—James acting like he’s James Dean—and its both ironic and deeply human that this facade of disaffected coolness drops—that they realize how entirely out of their element they are—not during one of their reckless investigations, but in a moment as mundane as trying to sing a song together. No matter how hard they try they’re still beleaguered bt these teenage emotions. Its a tragic situation, for these kids to be stuck between these silly yet real feelings of teenage angst, and to also be dealing with the seriously heavy grief of their friend having been horrifically murdered.

its a quintessential David Lynch directed scene

There's still good stuff in there. I understand not wanting to rewatch something you didn't like, but this seems silly to me.
