Twin Peaks Watch Along: The Return Part Eleven
I really didn't mean to go this long between posts, but between going into a new lockdown and not having much alone time to watch episodes, and not being able to track down all the episodes prior to lockdown (they're on a streaming service I have now...)
Anyhoo...
Twin Peaks - The Return: Part Eleven
Jumping back into the middle of this season after along break is rough, but so nice to hear that into music again, it's like coming home.
Kicking off with the woman that witnessed Richard's shit-heel hit and run last episode, she's not dead. Stupid Richard can't even get that right. He's such a dick.
Straight away, Shelly has her hands full on the bonnet of her daughter's car. Kids these days...
And a Harry Dean Stanton/Carl sighting as he goes to help Shelly. Given that I've been away so long, seeing all these old characters again is what Albert would describe as "a real treat".
Becky just randomly unloading a clip into an apartment door, no biggie...
Over in Buckhorn, our FBI gang including Dianne are on the hunt for Major Briggs. No Briggs, but we do see a Woodsman. I do find it curious that Albert is more of a field operative here vs being an analytical/forensics role in the original series. Perhaps her can explain this crazy vortex thing Gordon is staring at. It appears only Gordon can see but it leads to more Woodsmen most likely getting up to no good. But of course, randomly, a pointing corpse with coordinates to something. Reminiscent of two clues from the original series.
Dianne sees a Woodsman who appears to have killed Hastings.
Back at the Double R, Bobby and Shelly trying to make sense of their annoying daughter. Shelly dashes off for a quick meet with her new guy, she still likes the bad boys.
Traffic in Twin Peaks is VERY obnoxious, what the fuck is going on in that old lady's car, so good and so pointless...
At the Sheriff station, Hawk and New Truman trying to make sense of some old map (I can't remember, are they trying to find Cooper or Major Briggs?). Either way, Margaret has some cryptic advice for Hawk.
Gordon has coffee and donuts, I'll have the donuts, you can have the coffee.
Over in Vegas, let's see what Dougie's doing. Dougie's boss muses on the Mitchum brothers and the recent attempts on Dougie's life. It does crack me up that this far through, no one seems to have worked out that Dougie isn't right. Certainly not cognizant enough to entrust with a cheque for $30 million.
The Mitchums are very happy with this turn of events.
A nice encounter with the old lady that followed Dougie around the slot machines earlier on, now living well thanks to her winnings. Dougie changing lives up in this bitch.
And with that, the episode ends. No specific music act apart from the pianist at the restaurant Dougie and the Mitchums are dining in.
Good episode though. Not GREAT, but good for moving us along a bit. We still have comatose Dale for a few more episodes yet.
Anyhoo...
