NAOMI WATTS! NAOMI WATTS!! NAOMI WATTS!!!
Just finished all the four episodes and I'm soo happy to see NayNay back in the Lynch world being all Betty (even her clothes are same). So yay!!
Anyway, such a hypnotic show so far which is kinda tough to digest at first go especially when you watch all the four together but the way Lynch directs it, it feels like such an experience you wish never ends. Kyle Maclachlan is unbelievable here, WOW!!
Cannot freakin' wait for the next episode <3

It's too early but I'm absolutely obsessed with it right now! David Lynch sucks you into his weird weird world and it's fucking glorious.
05. The blind girl scene in the balcony (?) 04. Hellloooooo 03. Laura-Cooper reunion 02. New York death scene 01. The funny lady and 2 detectives (typical lynchian)
Special mention to Naomi Watts' "You missed sonny Jim's birthday, how could you ?" It felt like watching her audition rehearsal scene from MD all over again and enjoying the hell outta it, Wally Brando and Gordon-Denise meeting.

1. Bobby sees Laura's picture 2. "Helloooooo!" 3. Cooper escapes the Black Lodge 4. Glass cube sex scene kill 5. Wally Brando
Honorable mention to all of the MacLachlan and Watts scenes thus far. Oh, and Evil Coop's intro was awesome. Also throw a mention to the last scene of Part 2 at the club.

There are already so many to choose from!
1. Cooper stares into the purplish black ocean 2. The headlights at night with the badass distorted drums, followed by the reveal of Evil Cooper 3. Bobby sees Laura's photo 4. Hellooo-oo-oooo! 5. The glass box
Honorable mentions: The lady with sewn eyes, the black ghost in the cell, Evil Cooper massaging Jack's jaw for no reason, Wally Brando, the evolution of the Arm, "Is it future or is it past?", the new opening credits, Cooper gives the thumbs up to Sonny Jim, Matthew Lillard's wonderful performance, and so many others

Tough call... I don't suppose you can count the entire opening, escape sequence of episode 3 as one scene or that'd absolutely be in there.
The New York death scene is pure God tier stuff, and I'll be surprised if they top it. Poor Zima.
Darya's death scene was just a beautiful showcase for Maclachlan.
I think Lillard's wife breaking up with him in the cell was magic.
That scene with the cops going to the apartment building has got to be some of the finest comic writing I've ever seen.
round out the top 5 with Cooper and Laura in the black lodge. "Do you recognize me?" HELL YEAH WE DO!

I know how you feel. I'm really excited for Part 5 on Sunday.
1. Shelly talking to her friends about James in the Roadhouse in the last scene of Part 2. 2. Gordon and Albert speaking with the captive "Cooper". 3. "Helllllooooooo!" 4. Opening segment of Part 3 with Cooper and the blind woman. 5. Demon in the cell floating away.

My scattered thoughts on Episode 5 - Solid episode that was really elevated by the scene in the bar towards the end - the actor playing the guy smoking was fantastic. Probably my new favorite scene of this season so far, actually.
Wondering who the hell "Mr. Strawberry" is, and what exactly Evil Cooper did during his "phone call".
A little bit tired of the amnesiac/baby Cooper, but part of me feels like it's going to be wrapped up soon.
Really nice seeing some old faces again, and the introductions of the new characters were well handled. I'm really curious as to how this is all going to come together.
Would be overjoyed if we somehow got Bowie, even if only for a scene or two, in this season. It's a long shot, but who knows - Jeffries has been referenced a few times now.

I think Phillip Jeffries is going to appear, it seemed like that beeping black box was standing in for him. I'd love to see Davide Bowie as well although I heard Tim Roth might be stepping in for him, I could be wrong though.

Is Dr. Jacoby supposed to be an Alex Jones parody now?

Oh, good ole' Dougie. As much as I love watching MacLachlan in this role, I fear that I may tire of this storyline soon if things don't start developing. Still, a lot of great Dougie moments this week, particularly with regards to Frank's coffee.
This episode as a whole was a bit all over the place, but it did a nice job of smoothly introducing and re-introducing new and old characters alike. A lot of great scenes, like Jacoby's gold shit-digging shovel and the Amanda Seyfried cocaine scene.

SUCH A GOOD EPISODE
The Seyfried cocaine scene was outrageously beautiful

Another absolutely fantastic episode. It's just incredible how many unique, singular moments are packed into every one of these episodes. This one alone had the Bob/Cooper reflection, Cooper's phone call, Becky's cocaine stare, the kid and the car explosion, the entire hilarious Dougie sequence in the office with Tom Sizemore, Frank Truman's crazy wife, that insane Blue Velvet-style scene at the Roadhouse with the cigarette smoking rapist, Mike's great cameo, Jacobi's shit shovels, the beautiful image of Dougie/Cooper staring at the statue, and more! And all of this incredibly wide-scoped content is brilliantly, sometimes hilariously juxtaposed by the deliberate slow pacing. I think episode 5 was the last time I'll ever have to be nervous in any way about this season. The first four episodes were so awesome, but a part of me still wondered if every chapter would be as satisfying as the huge four-hour mind-meltdown of the premiere (and the immediate following two chapters). But nope, it looks like Lynch and Frost have brought the goods for the long-haul, and I couldn't be more ecstatic.

We are so fortunate to have David Lynch back to fill the void left to us by the passing of The Leftovers, and boy, Dave ain't lost his edge one bit. Absolutely loved every second of this most recent episode. I could watch Kyle MacLachlan stumblebumming his way through life as an oversized toddler for days and not be bored at all.

Another great episode. I am loving the shit outta this show right now, there's no two ways about it. It has so many damn story strands going on, and I can't wait for them all to start linking up on whatever level Frost and Lynch deem right. The only thing pissing me off a tad is that I want to see more of the Matthew Lillard character, I was really liking what we saw of him.

One thing I forgot to mention in my last post after episode 5 was the performance of Candy Clark as Doris Truman. Was it just me who thought she was utterly horrendous in her scene? I mean really bad, stilted, cue card sounding stuff?

I mean really bad, stilted, cue card sounding stuff? Well, intentional overacting has always been a staple of Lynch, and especially of Twin Peaks. In retrospect, I actually sort of enjoyed that scene and the depiction of Truman's wife. Whereas the original Twin Peaks series was supposed to be Lynch's and Frost's satirical take on the popular soap operas of the time, the new season heavily reflects the drastic changes that have occurred in the television medium during Lynch's twenty-six year absence. A great majority of this season feels like Lynch's and Frost's commentary on said changes; hence, why I believe that the character of Truman's wife, as well as Naomi Watts' character, are the Twin Peaks satirical version of the 'blonde, nagging wife' archetype (i.e., Skyler White, Betty Draper, Carmela Soprano, Rita from Dexter, etc.) that was predominant throughout the popular television of the 2000s. People often complain that such characters only served as hindrances to the 'likable male protagonist', and so, characters such as these in Twin Peaks are intentional exaggerations intended to respond to how those characters were written and subsequently received. At least, that's my take on it.

At least, that's my take on it. Interesting take, which I mostly agree with and I could definitely get on board with an argument that Candy Clark was directed to play her as a big, over the top nag, which she did. I still think it went wrong and she did it badly. It's a small thing either way as I wouldn't expect we'll see a lot of her...I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw her again. This however is Twin Peaks we're talking about, so she could be a plot central murderer, or an Alien, or a log in human form, or Joan Chen.

We got Harry Dean Stanton back, finally met Diane, Albert cursing at Gene Kelly, Naomi Watts being her usual terrific self, and a lot of childish scribblings that of course must mean something profound since this is Lynch. Loving it.

Probably the weakest episode so far for me, but I still liked it.
Was kind of disappointed to see the smoker from the bar go from fascinating psychopath to sniveling wuss so fast.
Also, probably the least memorable moments of any episode so far. The Diane reveal was great, but pretty much just a tease.
Loved seeing Harry Dean Stanton, though.
