It starts to drag

Sadly, looks like we are running out of steam. This entry is painfully slow, uneventful and I want Cooper to be back and more Twin Peaks to be shown.

A more straightforward episode, but not without a few mind-bending moments.

Every previous episode of this revival has followed a completely different formula and plot than the last. When starting an episode, I would have literally no idea what to expect. But even David Lynch has to settle into some form of arc eventually, and this episode is where it started to happen. No longer is the very fabric of the story on shifting grounds (at least for now). That doesn't mean that this episode didn't have its share of moments that make you forget everything you thought you knew. It does. But they are now more firmly rooted in the characters and situations that have already been established.

That being said, there were still a number of first appearances from characters new and old. The old continues to satisfy and the new continues to surprise. A number of characters who I thought would be one-off appearances resurface in this episode, which was nice. I do feel that the forgetful Cooper story-line will start to get tiring soon, but it's still amusing at the moment. The only part of this episode that I found somewhat disappointing was the lack of a resolution to the cliffhanger from part four.

All in all, this was a less eventful episode but still a satisfying one. The show seems to have settled into a main plot line (for now at least). Now it's time to just sit back and enjoy the ride... wherever it may take us.

Lack of plot starts to show

By now I started to be a bit worried by the lack of plot. in this episode we have an assorted bunch of disconnected scenes (a bit as usual), introducing new young villains, like the obnoxious, smoking guy at the end of the episode.

The trouble is that most of these scenes start to look like self-standing and self-referencing to Lynch obsession for the '50s, criminals, weirdos and art movies.

Quite annoying to follow Dougie/Cooper walking around in slow motion, without anybody wondering about the strangeness of his behavior. Even for a Lynchian environment this is puzzling and contrived.

Episode 5

A jerk turns up for a job interview and gets told off by the interviewer for his attitude. The interviewer turns out to be Mike Nelson, who along with Bobby Briggs were both jerks themselves 25 years earlier.

That jerk turns up later on, he is going out with Shelly's daughter Becky who is as wild as her mother was when she was younger and attracted to men who get into trouble.

At the end of the episode we see another troubled and psychotic young man called Richard Horne.

These glimpses into the town of Twin Peaks makes you understand why Dr Jacoby is selling golden shovels to dig yourself out of the brown stuff.

As for good Cooper, he has taken the place of Dougie at home and at work but he is still childlike with glimpses of old Cooper only coming out when he smells coffee, sees a badge or hears words such as agent. He also gazes at statue outside his workplace.

Yet Dougie is still in trouble, he owes money and some bad people are after him as his car explodes.

Evil Cooper makes a phone call in prison and the security system goes haywire. We see him still possessed by Bob as he looks into the mirror and he in turn can have power over others by mentioning the word strawberry.

This is really shaping up to be a story about good Cooper making his way into the modern world and he surely is going to come into conflict again with his double.

Go watch something else.

I don't get this.. If you don't like weird stuff and hard-to-grasp mysteries.. Then maybe you should watch something different. But if you like David Lynch and Twin Peaks but doesn't dig that this revival is different.. Do a re-watch of season 1 and 2 instead of complaining over that this is strange and not the same as what you're used to with Twin Peaks. I think that this is masterful! Totally mysterious and the magical feel as in the old seasons. A perfect strange, dark, funny and intriguing story with perfect sounds and cinematography! Can hardly wait to next week..

Quotes
Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: It's seven o'clock! Do you know where your freedom is? Coming to you live and electrified from Studio A, high atop the escarpments of White Tail Peak. The roof, roof-roof, of the American Hindukush. This is Dr. Amp, doing the vamp for liberty, climbing the ramp to justice, and lighting the lamp of freedom. So, what's on your mind tonight? I mean, you know I'm gonna tell you what's on mine. We're sinking down deep in the mud, and the fucks are at it again! The same, vast, global corporate conspiracy! Different day. You can't see it without a cosmic flashlight. Guess what? I got one. Oh, yeah. And its beam, it penetrates the igneous rock of ignorance. It flips that rock over, and there they are, exposed, wriggling, squirming, crawling on their bellies like foul maggots, frantically racing back to the cover of darkness that they so crave. We're coming for you. Yeah, we're coming for you! Let's just see what they're cooking up today. Know the ingredients. Just read what's on the box, in fact, read between the lines. What's lurking in that toaster waffle, those muffins, that frozen children's treat? Poisons! Deadly poisons! That's what's there. And what's waiting for you? Cancer! Leukemia! Auto-immune disorders! Pulmonary embolism! Warts! Psoriasis! Eczema! Cardiac arrest! Where are the cops when we need them? Anorexia, body image bullshit, microbial toxins, bacterial toxins, environmental toxins! Our air, our water, our earth! The very soil itself. Our food! Our bodies poisoned! Poisoned!

Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: That's huckleberry extract in clean, boiled water from the pure artesian springs of White Tail Peak. Yeah, fuck that acai berry shit from the Amazone! In the immortal words of Pete Seeger, "if I had a hammer"... Guess what? I've got a hammer!
[picks up a hammer and hits a shovel]
Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: You must see, hear, understand, and act. Act now!
