Re: Episode 15

A few thoughts on this latest rewatch... Opening shot of the Palmer house - it's a touch more secluded than the house used for FWWM/Return. Seems a bit less likely a neighbour would hear the attack on Maddy and call the police. Leland mentions dropping Maddy to the bus station, but in the previous e...

Re: Episode 14

Speaking of which... knowing what we now know about Bob, there isn't really any reason for Philip Gerard to collapse, is there? Yeah, this one of those cheats that bugs me on rewatches, even though Lynch gives the moment a terrific atmosphere (I love Ben purposefully chugging down the hall like a f...

Re: Episode 14

Well, that's about as good as a tv episode can get. I dread to think how many times I've watched this one over the years and it's lost none of its uneasy magic. That sense of the whole town experiencing the wrongness of the night but being too late to stop it is overwhelming. A few stray thoughts &a...

Re: Episode 11

Would the fight in the diner not wake Norma? I'm assuming the Jennings house is out the back of the diner - otherwise it seems a bit strange Hank would change into his pyjamas before leaving work. I assume Norma lived somewhere else and isn’t at a comfort level yet of allowing Hank to sleep in the ...

Re: Episode 13

Well, still no sign of the fabled Season 2 dip, even if the season so far seems a little less tightly structured than the first season (and there's also a sense they've run out of ideas for some of the characters - but for their names appearing on the opening credits, you'd be hard-pressed to guess ...

Re: Episode 12

Some thoughts on my latest rewatch: The note under Cooper's bed in this episode is addressed to 'My Special Agent'. The note beside the phone in Ep 8 is addressed to 'Agent Cooper' - are these meant to be the same note or is the 'Agent Cooper' note the 'Jack WIth One Eye' note from earlier in season...

Re: Episode 11

A few thoughts on the latest rewatch: On first viewing, I remember thinking the ceiling tile shot was going to be Ronette's POV from her hospital bed. Maddy seems to take Leland being arrested for murder in her stride. Louis at the Great Northern is annoying, and the set-up of the MT Wentz sub-plot ...

Re: Episode 10

Another episode that debunks the 'Season 2 was crap' talk. Admittedly this is the first we see of Dick Tremaine and Nadine waking from her coma, but the wacky elements are nowhere near overwhelming the show. There's a sense that the show's not in a any rush to solve the murder, which could well frus...

Re: Episode 9

The one Lynch-directed episode in the initial doesn't feel like 'an event' (as in it isn't a season premiere or finale, isn't the killer reveal and doesn't have a wtf game changer like the dream sequence added to the end of episode 2) - I'd actually forgotten what happens in this episode prior to th...

Re: Episode 8 (Season 2 Premiere)

Thoughts on this rewatch: A lot of stuff to love in this episode but it also drags in places and there's a lack of focus. The hospital food joke isn't that funny and outstays its welcome. Leisurely 3-minute opening - Kimmy Roberston moved to main cast. Piper Laurie no longer listed so Catherine's de...

Re: Episode 1

Just began my own rewatch the other day and concerning the one armed man, isn't it a bit of serendipity that Hawk loses him in a room bathed in blue? We can pretend it's a deliberate attempt to foreshadow a Blue Rose case. One curiosity is that Cooper asks Norma for the list of recipients for the M...

Re: Episode 7

The most action packed episode yet. Only a few things to note on this viewing: 'There's gotta be a way to turn it off' - I've always hated this (presumably looped) line from James as he's still saying it as he turns the music off. Poor Nadine. Wendy Robie's done such a great job this season to take ...

Re: Episode 6

Another immensely enjoyable episode! A few thoughts: Nice touch having the Invitation To Love display at Horne's - I never spotted this on broadcast or the VHS cassettes. I love the little rewind on the Dictaphone where we hear Lucy feeding Waldo. Harry: "I know all I need to know, I love her a...

Re: Episode 5

Another good 'un! Josie's appearance/disappearance/reappearance in Ben's office has always bothered me - particularly as all they had to do was ditch the first cutaway to her. As Jonah says upthread, James & Donna by the gazebo has quite a season 2 feel - shame we never got to see the scene with...
