It’s time for a different approach in this column, so aptly titled Homeward Bound. Truly, this is about Dale’s journey, and Part 7 has left us in an interesting spot. Up until this point, much of what I’ve written has been recap + speculative inquiry. This week, my goal is different. While I will do …

By Eileen G. Mykkels and Lindsay Stamhuis So where does this leave us? We have what we feel is an abundance of evidence to support a claim that this is taking place in some kind of liminal dream space. We are not about to speculate on exactly what kind of dream space this is—it would …
We pick back up immediately with Dale standing right where we left him, by the statue outside Dougie’s workplace. The same some is even playing - Windswept by Johnny Jewel. He’s messing with the sleeve of his arm - notably it’s the left arm, same as the arm which Phillip Gerard lost, and on which …
The content discussed below may be difficult for some people. Please proceed with caution. What is gotten from Part Six of The Return is nothing new for Lynch and Frost, not really. Horrific murder is par for the course, especially on Twin Peaks. They’ve been doing it since the beginning. Even though we don’t …
“To Dougie, With Love, Janey- E” Is it just me or does Janey-E’s inscription on Dougie’s wedding ring (found in the stomach of the headless man’s body in Buckhorn) seem pretty insincere? Around ten minutes into the episode we pick up shortly after where we left off with Dale, Janey-E and Sonny Jim. Janey-E orders …

What follows is my working theory on how the lapel pins will be …

I was one of many who watched Parts Three and Four on demand immediately after the release of Parts One and Two. Needless to say, considering the exhausting breadth of information imparted to us in those four hours, I was on my third rewatch in my attempts to analyze these two segments and parse out …

A Glass of Water Sweetheart! My Socks Are On Fire! - Gordon Cole, Season 2 Episode 18 “On the Wings of Love” I’ve never come so close to feeling the way Gordon Cole must have when he could hear Shelly speaking in the diner as I did when watching the first two parts of Twin …

There is something unquestionably special about the Season Two finale of TWIN PEAKS. Aside from the fact that it is my all time favourite episode of the show, it marks the return of David Lynch to the Director’s chair and thus carries his particular flavour, without which, the show and it’s legacy would be extremely …

TWIN PEAKS, when it first appeared on TV, was (and still is) considered one of the strangest, most terrifying and surprising works to ever grace network television. It is know for many iconic moments, and out-there choices, as well as it's enduring plot and characters. David Lynch’s avant garde style stands out among the legions …
