Twin Peaks: The Return

“I love Twin Peaks and its world.” Truly this is my favorite TV show, and I mean the full seasons 1-3. at first I wasn’t fully sold on The Return, but every time I hear that theme start and I see the brown on green letters, I feel such a comfort. It’s so odd that a show so odd, confusing, and dark can bring such a calming joy. I’m so sad to be finished with this, finally, after years of enjoying the first 2 seasons and never making it to the return. I was so ready to watch the rerun, but I’ll admit that I wasn’t sold right away. It’s a far more slow and condensed show, with less side stories and soap opera elements. Plus, I was not originally a fan of Dougie. But that moment in episode 16 where Agent Cooper reruns (sort of) brought me such joy. Then we get into the finale; the final episode of any Twin Peaks media probably forever. episode 17 leading into it is perfect. the history change brought a tear to my eye I won’t even lie. if the show ended there I would have been perfectly happy. As for the actual finale, I could not tell you the purpose or what on earth it was for. I wouldn’t call it confusing as much as just really a shift from episode 17. So much is closed but so little of it feels nice. Legendary episode still, love it though and I love Twin Peaks.
