05.05.2015

04.28.2015

It's another enjoyable but aimless episode of Twin Peaks! As we close in on the series finale, the full suite of late-season-two plot threads chugs along. At least we're always glad to see Gordon Cole.
04.21.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 26: On the Wings of Love
As we approach the series finale, Twin Peaks has returned to Twin Peaks, and we're pretty pleased about it. On the other hand, Lost has also come to Twin Peaks, and we're sort of confused about that. In any case,...
04.14.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 25: Wounds and Scars
Major Briggs and the Log Lady have a secret. A deeply unsettling man threatens the Hayward family after paying Donna a visit alone. It sounds like Twin Peaks again, until you get to drunk Sheriff Truman, the fashion show, the...
04.07.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 24: The Condemned Woman
Pine weasel or no, Ben Horn's wishes that Twin Peaks remain pure and unspoiled are too little, too late. We're way past that. So far past it that people's heads are transforming into furniture, that the villains are so interchangeable...
04.02.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 23: Slaves and Masters

03.25.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 22: Double Play
This is it. Twin Peaks is a different show now. In episode 22, amidst genius supervillains and melodrama aplenty, we have ventured further into the land of soap opera bombast than the series has previously dared. We discuss, bemused and...
03.18.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 21: Checkmate
Our complete rewatch of Twin Peaks has taken us deep into late season two, a time when the show can't decide what its wants to be and seemingly re-invents itself each week. Fortunately there's more or less as much to...
03.11.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 20: The Black Widow

02.25.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 19: Masked Ball
We've now solidly put the murder of Laura Palmer behind us, but the rest of Twin Peaks keeps ticking along—with the scene-stealing introduction of David Duchovny as DEA agent Denise Bryson.
02.18.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 18: Dispute Between Brothers
In the wake of Laura's murder wrapping up, lore starts to build up and things get a little dumb, but there are still plenty of bright spots in our weekly rewatch of the complete run of Twin Peaks. Join us...
02.11.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 17: Arbitrary Law
An episode of parlor rooms and connecting dots brings some huge stories to a close, but might wrap things up with too neat a bow. It's time for "Arbitrary Law," the 17th episode of Twin Peaks in our complete rewatch...
02.04.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 16: Drive With a Dead Girl

01.27.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 15: Lonely Souls
It's happening again. Join us as we discuss "Lonely Souls," one of the pivotal episodes of Twin Peaks' second season, as part of our weekly re-examination of the show's complete run.
01.21.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 14: Demons
Stories align, and plot threads clean themselves up, all while never quite crossing this week on Twin Peaks. David Lynch steps in front of the camera as FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole, the Mill plot continues to simmer against...
01.13.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 13: The Orchid's Curse
We're deep in the heart of Twin Peaks-as-ongoing-TV-series now, as a bunch of action-packed sneaking around happens, while Donna carries the emotional weight of the series herself, in her seemingly-solo search to understand Laura's murder.
01.07.2015
Twin Peaks Rewatch 12: Laura's Secret Diary
Everyone is so distracted by their own lives this week that the investigation into Laura's murder takes a bit of a back seat. Fortunately, this week, everyone's lives are pretty fun to watch. Join us in our weekly look at...
12.30.2014
Twin Peaks Rewatch 11: The Man Behind Glass
Twin Peaks quickly dives right into the heart of the Season Two portion of Laura Palmer's mystery, and we follow right behind. Cooper and the crew make some strange breaks in the case, and a love triangle becomes a quadrangle,...
12.23.2014
Twin Peaks Rewatch 10: Coma
The investigation slows as season two's new storylines take center stage this week, in our re-examination of Twin Peaks. Things get weird. There is creamed corn. Do you see it?
12.17.2014
Twin Peaks Rewatch 9: May the Giant Be With You
I've heard about you... We are back for the start of Season Two of our weekly look at the complete run of Twin Peaks. This week the elaborate, mad race of plot threads that ended season one come to a...
12.02.2014
Twin Peaks Rewatch 8: The Last Evening
Twin Peaks' first season is over, somehow ramping up every single storyline it touched, while winding down absolutely nothing. Though the finale left more questions asked than answered, we're only one third through the complete run of the series! Join...
11.25.2014
Twin Peaks Rewatch 7: Realization Time
This week on our examination of Twin Peaks, it seems half the cast is heading north of the border without telling each other, at least two people are wearing disguises, and everything has gone very noir. In the penultimate episode...
11.19.2014
Twin Peaks Rewatch 6: Cooper's Dreams
It is time for a few small-but-potent character scenes, a lot of questions answered with even more questions, and a surprising number of meticulously blocked hero shots of the Sheriff's department, in week six of our re-examination of Twin Peaks....
