Nothing as shocking, if I remember well, as some the Hornes Department exterior shots in Season 1 (and 2 maybe?), where they made it look like a Department Store that could be in a town of over 50 000, instead of a 5 000 souls area as first intended. That used to take me out of the mood during a rewatch...
EDIT: and possibly some exterior shots of the bank in Season 2?

Don't get me wrong, a lot of those fast paced films are very good films- but there also has to be a niche left over for a scene and a story that takes its time in order to create a different effect.
Yes. And it's worth remembering the original reason Lynch got into making films - to create paintings that move. So, his slow scenes are like like moving paintings that convey a mood.
Besides the discussion of the series been good or not so far, I think it has almost nothing to do with the original one.
Old characters with little or no interactions at all (and little screen time), no music, almost no familiar places (where is The Great Northern Hotel?), totally new mood, a lot of new cities, etc. Hell, we don`t even get Cooper yet, for Godsake. 6 hours and no Coop!
I don`t think it`s bad so far, though. I mean, I am really enjoying the new plot and stuff. But i have to admit: it`s no Twin Peaks. At least so far....
The hit&run child accident at that cross-over happened here?
It's a scene from FWWM, where two elderly people seem to stretch the fabrics of time. Will the kid survive? Did it happen at the moment The One Armed Man said "Don't die" ? Will his father repeat these words?
Why do I feel like episode 12 is going to be the episode where everything is going to hit the fan. Episode 9 may confirm the Laura is the one who is out of the Black Lodge via the NYC science experiment. I just hope we don't wait that long for Hawk to hand Sheriff Truman those papers.

I get that scenes in this 18-hour movie were likely shuffled around, but that disparity felt pretty jarring.
I have two responses to this.
First, it's hard to say how much time has passed in this scene since the hit and run, if any. I do not think that the show is telling its story out of chronological error, but I do think there may be moments where we might be seeing things that are happening at different locations close to simultaneously. It's possible the accident just happened (all we've seen in Twin Peaks since the hit and run is Richard cleaning up, which I imagine he got to very quickly). Maybe they had just gotten the call about a "possible hit and run" or something somewhat vague like that, sent Bobby or Andy out to investigate, and they don't yet know how horrible it really was.
I support that.
I think that actual episode ends with the call to 9-1-1. The last words before the music/roadhouse start are of our new dispatcher giving a look of disgust at Chad, and before she can say much more, she is interrupted by an emergency call. I take it as THE call for the accident.
