Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer

So far, the series has been really great. It is captivating with very interesting characters with mysterious reasons. Episode 3 shows a dream sequence which I have to say, is one of the best scenes I have ever seen on television. The dream sequence is wonderfully written and directed. It has the atmosphere and the tone of a motion picture, and it certainly has the famous Lynchian feeling to it. 3 episodes in, and this series is addicting and very, very well written and directed. It makes most shows out there seem like filler compared to this. I will happily continue to watch and enjoy Twin Peaks, because it serves interesting story lines every episode so far.

Stop me if you've heard this one before but surely this is the point where TV truly became cinematic (even in 4:3 ratio).

The humour intentional or otherwise is as good as any comedy & I watch early Arrested Development on loop.

The emotional & occasional erotic mystery foundations for still recent payoffs including the first of the often emulated none-bettered Lynch dreamscapes.

But thats the point, for a network Neo Soap to be that ahead of the game - Lynch/Frost's finest hour, Televisions finest hour.

Wonderful and mesmerizing third installment of 'Twin Peaks'. It's bizarre, funny, terrifying, trippy and outstanding. A unique atmosphere that only someone unique like Lynch could pull it off.

It's easy to tell when you're watching a "Twin Peaks" episode if it's one directed by David Lynch or not. "Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer", is pure Lynch. Agent Cooper's infamous dream sequence is one of the greatest dream or nightmare scenes ever filmed. It's weird, it's creepy, it's beautiful, it's absolutely unnerving. You feel like you are having this dream yourself, and just want to wake up. Furthermore, this is the first instance in the series where things have truly gotten weird, for lack of a better expression. I feel like this dream sequence is a scene that I will have to return to throughout the show; it's full of imagery and clues that I have yet to realise.

Apart from the concluding dream sequence, this episode also features Agent Cooper's hilarious stone-throwing deduction method!

I started watching this show because I had heard it was a form of paranormal or supernatural based, or something, but at least I knew it had to be good since it is a David Lynch show. The pilot missed any oddities, but it was good so I continued watching. This episode is where it get's weird. If any of you have seen the Simpsons episode "who shot Mr. Burns, part 2" you're gonna have fun with this one. This episode has the infamous dream sequence, it is weird, it is confusing, but I loved it. This is Lynch at his weirdest and best. I can't help it, I love dream logic, and it is very hard to make on film/TV, but this time they really got it right.

And not to forget the rest of the show, it's getting more intricate, butt hat just makes you wan't to watch the next episode even more.

It's finally getting there, I give this episode a 10/10.
