Welcome Back to Listening Post Alpha. Today's topic is: Remember Richard and Linda. But when and why? When can have many answers, but why...why is specific.

One character from The Return I would love to find out more about is Red. For someone with very little screen time, he didn’t exactly go unnoticed, mainly because his scenes were so well-placed and so well done (and partly, I’m sure, because he’s Balthazar Getty). Red is only in 3 scenes out of the …

Sigh. I did a lot of sighing and a lot of crying this week. Crying with joy, with love, with pride, with triumph and true sadness and grief. Even a little bit of relief. Part 15 of Twin Peaks the Return really had it all. First off we see Nadine, gold shovel over her shoulder …

There was a little something for everyone on this week's Twin Peaks! Attempted murder, actual murder, romance, restaurant-related intrigue, arm wrestling, and we all heard a song that we never thought we'd hear again in a million years.
