For me, the lack of a proper score is the main reason that many os us didn`t feel like Twin Peaks. If you got Badalamenti, why not use him?

I've already been toying with the idea of making a fan cut with Badalamenti music.

If that was unmemorable, I want to watch what he is watching. Must be really good.

My issue is that the reviewer thinks it's all in Cooper's head, and it is all a dream.

this is a good question; obviously not having his score is a deliberate choice. AFAIK he is still credited as 'composer' and it was widely hyped that he was returning; even if he didn't have time to write and record new stuff, they could have used 50% of the old musical cues if not all of them. So the choice seems deliberate. I will note that there is a swell in a later episode and I wonder if it will increasingly come back in as the story coalesces and comes together; but I'm not sure, that seems a little too on the nose for Lynch.

I went back and rewatched the first two Parts and my theory is that the opening scene does in fact take place in the White Lodge. When the Giant says "it is in our house now," I think what he's saying is that the evil of BOB, Evil Coop, etc., which has previously been confined to the Black Lodge and the real world, is now in danger of infecting the White Lodge. My guess is that this scene takes place way further in the future than the main events of the parts we've seen. I'm thinking that, at some point down the line, we revisit this scene - perhaps right before Cooper and his doppleganger confront each other for the final time.

Hope you`re right about come back of the score as the story coalesces and comes together.

You can swing by the church of Santuario de Misericordia in Borja, Spain and touch up the fresco while you're at it.

well you had to know it'd take 2 seconds for that fan theory to hit no matter what actually happened in the show

Oooh blasphemy!! Seriously, I think it wouldn't hurt anyone and probably be fun to do. Not sure how to exactly take your pun here.

Agreed. Probably wouldn't hurt anyone and would be fun to do. I'd hold off and see how Lynch's version pans out. I'm guessing he's got something up his sleeve.

Is nobody talking about the "clues" given by the giant at the very beginning? Seems like it should be important, although we don't have much to go on.
