You are far away


This episode opens with young Coop in the red room, being told by an equally young Laura Palmer that she will see him again in 25 years. With that fog rolls in, and you expect to see the Twin Peaks theme start playing. Instead we get a good long shot at jackrabbits palace on the fog, The empty halls of Twin Peaks high School, And a woman running out of the building crying. Zoom in on Laura Palmer's headshot, and it lasts the Twin Peaks theme kicks in with all of its glory It instantly challenges your expectations of what you expect from Twin Peaks, and the rest of the show Is equally wtf for long time fans of the series.


After the credits roll we find herself in the white lodge instead of the black one, can we get some very key dialogue from the giant that won't come into play until 18 hours later. Randomly vague nonsense for first time viewers, but if you've seen this series the timer too you know exactly what he's talking about and start to get pumped already.

She asks to go back into the room with him, but with the security guard watching, he tells her she cannot. When they find that the guard is not present, Sam takes Tracey into the room. After sitting down to watch the box, they begin to make out and soon after they start having sex, a JUDY appears in the box and violently breaks out and tears the couple to pieces. its an incredible first appearance for the main antagonist of this whole series, and sets the tone for the nasty gore in the future.


and we are just warming up


EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF THIS SHOW IS A PERFECT 10/10
