"There's some fear in letting go."
Ain't it the truth. Join the gals as they bid farewell to the return. What a great time we had this summer! Hopefully this doesn't come off as super maudlin, but with all the crazy, ridiculous crap happening in the world, it's been really nice to have Twin Peaks around again. We've been able to occupy our minds with this really neat puzzle for a while, which has given a lot of people a fun mental break. Also, & maybe more importantly - it's nice to be reminded that, as terrible as humanity can often seem, we do make some damn fine art.
Thanks for listening to what our Log had to say. It's been tons of fun :)
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 17
The penultimate episode starts just like we predicted it would, with everybody converging at the Twin Peaks Sheriff Department. Lucy, Andy & Freddie fulfill their destinies, we find out Naido's deal (but not the drunk's), & then... Well, then we go in a direction nobody predicted. The past dictates the future, indeed.
We're in the home stretch, guys! Sandra & I would love to hear your thoughts on the season so far. As you may have noticed, we live for talking about this stuff. Hit us up here, there, anywhere, really. Dinner, literally any time.

All thanks & praise to Lynch/Frost in the highest for this gift of an episode. Our most humble gratitude to you both for giving us just what we wanted. Join us as we get super greedy like little Richard Hornes & ask for resolutions to so many dangling plot lines, like noobs who've never watched a Lynch film. Oh, you silly girls...

Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 15
You'd be hard pressed to find an episode in any of the three seasons of Twin Peaks with as many genuine feels as this one. Between Big Ed & Norma's well-deserved moment & Margaret's beautiful send-off, part 15 was as close to heartwarming as the show's going to get. But don't worry, high strangeness still abounds, as Evil Coop takes us on a tour of the apartment above the gas station.

What an episode! I wanted more Sarah Palmer, I got more Sarah Palmer. And what a scene it was. Holy guacamole. Plus, Frank & the deputies journey to Jackrabbit's Palace & beyond! Cole & the gang learn of an important link between Major Briggs's body & a member of their own group, & Audrey... Well, Audrey's storyline doesn't progress at all, but we do get some pretty good leads as to what the everloving fuck is up with her. Enjoy!

Evil Coop is back! And badder than ever. Clearly the Bob bubble those woodsmen dug out of him didn't contain all the nasty in our favorite doppelgänger. In other news, the Mitchums shower Battlin' Bud with gifts, & Tony showers his pants when they all conga into Lucky 7. Mr. Todd is none too pleased, boy. Oh, & also! We finally see Big Ed again, in all his taciturn glory. Unrequited love is the best kind of love, don't you agree?

You know what I was just thinking? It's really cool to see Laura Dern playing a character like Diane. As you probably know, David Lynch has two female archetypes in all his stuff: the innocent blonde gamine & the exotic dark haired femme fatale. This duality goes quite nicely with his main preoccupation - exploring the darkness lying underneath the placid surface of suburbia. And even though Diane's got that platinum wig, she is most definitely a dark lady. Which is especially neat when you think about her most memorable Lynch role, as Sandy in Blue Velvet.
Kinda cool too for Kyle MacLachlan that he gets to play both sides of the coin in one character.
Anyway, here's the recap. Enjoy!
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 11
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.
