Part 11 might be my favorite episode of The Return so far. We get to spend some time with Bobby, Shelley & their karmic-revenge-in-child-form, Becky, at the Double R, Gordon almost steps through Bill Hastings' portal to the unknown, & the Mitchum brothers finally meet Dougie. Is there a cherry pie in that box? Only one way to find out.
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 10
The Part 10 super condensed recap would go something like this: violence, cute scene, more violence, wacky Coop scene, yet more violence, repeat until the last few minutes, musical number. Want to know the specifics? Have a listen.
Hello Johnny, how are you today?
Hello Johnny, how are you today?
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 9
Okay, back from hiatus & back to business. We learn so much in this episode my fingers got tired from taking notes. See how I sacrifice for you people?
Exposition abounds! We finally find out how Bill Hastings ties in with Cooper & the gang (visit The Search for the Zone to find out more about that), a little about Dougie's history, & the Major Briggs is/was, to quote Little Richard Horne, a real "magic motherfucker." What didn't that guy think of?
One last thing - wanted to share this great art from Cristiano Sequeira (@crisvector). He's doing one poster for each episode. See the rest of them here.
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 8
Well, that was a doozy. Part 8 takes us on a little detour with a totally unexpected origin story of sorts. Confused? Frightened? Still struggling to pick up the pieces of your fractured psyche? Don't fret - we're here to help. From the white lodge to Abe Lincoln chimneysweep to the infamous frog-bug, we'll lay it all out for you in time to get you sorted for part 9.
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 7
Listen to Amy & Sandra rhapsodize about this episode's return to the classic Twin Peaks of the 90s. They sound so happy & naive, unaware that part 8 was about to air & blow their goddamn minds. So join us in reliving the quaint, bygone days when we were young & full of hope for the good people of Twin Peaks, & much more confident in our sanity.
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 6
Yep, that's right - the "she" Albert & Cole were discussing is indeed Diane, & yes! Wonder of wonder, miracle of miracles - she's Laura Dern. There's lots more in part 6, including some good ol' fashioned child homicide. Not to mention Carl. You mean Carl, the manager of Fat Trout trailer park, former home of Teresa Banks? Carl, immortalized by Harry Dean Stanton in Fire Walk with Me? The very same.
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 5
In part 5, Coop makes his way to Dougie's office somehow. I'd like to think if I showed up to work semi-comatose my coworkers would notice. On second thought, maybe it'd be better if they didn't. We also find out what the hell Jacoby's up to with all those shovels.
Also, Evil Coop creeps everybody out, we go to the diner & meet Shelley's Laura Palmer-esque daughter & lots of people want Dougie Jones dead. Let's discuss.
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 4
Here it is, the second half of our epic two-parter recap of the new season. We've switched gears from the abstractness of last episode. This one features a lot more laughs, especially this transcendent moment:
Oh, Wally. What a fine young man.
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 3
We hope you can hang in there with us through the madness that is Part 3. Travel through space & electrical outlets with regular Coop! Barf up immense amounts of yellow biohazard material with Evil Coop! And visit a prostitute named Jade with an all-new Coop - Dougie Jones?
For those of you feeling confused - we had a little technical difficulty in uploading the epic two-part recap, so I had to break it into two separate episodes. The second half will be ready shortly. Sorry bout that!
