![]() Sometimes, normality is the strangest thing of all. And let’s not ignore Lynch and Frost’s sly comment on the act of sitting motionless before a potentially deadly glass box. This moment of J-horror-influenced savagery was our first hint that the series was going to be truly bracing: this wasn’t a quirky mystery story any more, it was a full-bore nightmare. In the end, it does – a formless, faceless, vaguely female ghost-shape (the aforementioned “mother”?) emerges through the glass and tears the man to pieces. Video cameras are trained on a glass box, where an answer may or may not appear. Photograph: ShowtimeĪ young man (Benjamin Rosenfield) sits in a New York loft, waiting for something to happen. The eyeless woman (part three)Ī sly comment on the act of sitting motionless before a potentially deadly glass box. It was the faces of the assembled extras, so normal and yet so fiercely strange, posed in rows like spectators at a tragic sporting event. But the violence wasn’t what made the scene so striking, and neither was a vision of the child’s departing soul. The following week, another child wasn’t so lucky – mown down in the street by deranged coke dealer Richard Horne (Eamon Farren). ![]() In part five, Lynch teased us with his own gruesome reputation by having a little boy get too close to a car explosion and walk away completely unsinged. And the little dancing man has evolved into a leafless silver tree topped with a blob of screaming putty. Laura Palmer can remove her entire face to reveal a white God-light behind. The floors shift and spin more than they used to. But things have changed: everyone’s a little older and wearier. Photograph: Showtimeįor Peaks enthusiasts, returning to the Black Lodge can be like coming home – every face is familiar, the electricity’s still on the blink and the furnishings are just how you left them. Like coming home … inside the Black Lodge. This week, his booted foot starts talking to him – claiming, in subtitled English, not to be his foot at all. One of the best surprises in new Twin Peaks has been the broad seam of Gilbert Shelton-esque stoner comedy, mostly delivered by Jerry Horne (David Patrick Kelly), who has retired from the Scandinavian-seducing business and taken up pot farming. Is this a power play? A threat? A twisted sign of affection? Mr C’s eyes stay blank and black as the image abruptly freezes, then cuts to a thunderstorm. About to climb into his new rental, Mr C draws Jack closer, taking the man’s face in his hands and squeezing his cheeks together. Mr C’s affections (part two)Ī tiny scene, but a truly odd one: Evil Cooper aka Mr C (McLachlan) drops his car with criminal underling Jack (Steve Baker) at a storage yard. It’s basically Peyton Place directed by Jacques Tati. But there are moments of glory too, like the scene in which Dougie’s wife Janey-E (Naomi Watts) cooks a swinging suburban breakfast to the tune of Dave Brubeck’s Take Five, as Dougie and his son Sonny Jim (Pierce Gagnon) goof off at the dinner table. Pushing the joke so far that it snaps back in the audience’s face, the Dougie scenes verge on the infuriating. Photograph: ShowtimeĪ bone of contention among Peakers has been the show’s focus on the shambling, slack-jawed figure of Las Vegas insurance drone Dougie Jones (Kyle MacLachlan) – or rather, the brain-fried, post-Black Lodge version of Agent Cooper who has been slotted into Dougie’s life. ![]() LOUIS SUNNYSIDE TAMPA TELEGRAPH HILL TENDERLOIN TREASURE ISLAND TRENTON TUCSON TULSA TWIN PEAKS UNION SQUARE UPPER HAIGHT VISITACION VALLEY WASHINGTON, D.C.Peyton Place, directed by Jacques Tati.
