20 Initial Thoughts on Twins Peaks: The Return Part 10 (dir by David Lynch)

Posted on July 16, 2017 by Lisa Marie Bowman

As always, these are just my initial thoughts. A full recap will appear on this site either tonight or tomorrow. It’s been crazy day/

I’m DVRing Game of Thrones, I’ll get around to it tomorrow probably. Believe it or not, I’ll probably have an easier time following the plot of Twin Peaks than I will Game of Thrones.
Damn! As if you didn’t already need a reason to loathe Richard Horne…
Eamon Farren does a good job playing Richard but seriously, the character is just so loathsome. I hope he’s not Audrey’s son.
I would love a chance to sit down and interview Harry Dean Stanton. I can’t wait to see Lucky, an upcoming film in which he co-stars with none other than David Lynch.
We lived in some scary places when I was growing up but we managed to avoid the trailer park. This episode is making me happy that was the case.
Jerry’s never going to get out of the woods.
Does Chad actually do anything or does he just hang out at the sheriff’s station all day?
Uh-oh, did Richard just call Mrs. Horne grandma? Oh my God, he is Audrey’s son…
If Richard is dead by the end of this episode, I will not complain.
Oh my God — what if the Doppelganger and Audrey had a son named Richard?
Richard just called his own grandmother the C-word. Okay, he needs to die.
On a sad note, Richard’s behavior is perhaps the most realistic thing about Twin Peaks. There are way too many Richard Hornes in the world.
To be honest, I’m always a little relieved with a character or an actor, like Jim Belushi or Tom Sizemore, from a previous episode shows up. It’s a reminder that this isn’t just random Lynch quirkiness. A story actually is being told here.
If I was on Twin Peaks, I would totally want to wear a pink dress and spent my time leaning against a wall with an unimpressed look on my face. Actually, that’s pretty much what I do all day anyway but still…
Laura!
I guess Ben and Sylvia are divorced now.
The Log Lady! (RIP, Catherine Coulson)
Is anyone else starting to get the feeling that Dougie/Cooper is never going to get back to normal?
Tonight’s music guest was Rebekkah del Rio. Her performance in Mulholland Drive is still one of the most haunting things ever.
If I seem distracted, it’s because — while I was watching Twin Peaks — a friend of mine found herself being so harassed by online trolls that she shut down her twitter account. Shit like that needs to stop. I don’t care what you worship, I don’t care how you vote, I don’t care what you watch, and I don’t care what you listen to — if you’re a bully, you’ve got to go. The bullies have got to go.
