RIP Don Davis.

Easily, easily one of the best scenes from the entire series.

It didn't make much of an impression at the time, but now that Bobby is one of the good guys, and Major Briggs is a headless corpse on a slab, it's unutterably poignant.

I've been forced to let my Hulu/Showtime subscription lapse for a few days, and so I'm back to watching the classic Twin Peaks episodes, and I'm spotting apparent linked motifs that go well beyond coffee and donuts. For example, in season 2, Lucy is sometimes chasing a fly around the sheriff's office, to be echoed by Candie years later. The hand tremor that several characters experience toward the end of season 2 foreshadows Bob asserting himself in our world, and the catastrophic events of the finale. Gordon exhibits the same symptom after nearly being pulled into the vortex in the most recent episode.

A lot of what makes the old episodes seem richer (and even FWWM, which I hated in 1993) is that Lynch has used the viewer's (ie my) familiarity with the material to take me farther into his sensibilities than I could ever go before, and so I'm just more attuned to it. More than before, I can really tell the difference between an episode directed by Lynch, and an episode directed by someone else.

After this is over, I might even give Eraserhead another try!

I'm not sure if the Major's head is ever going to turn up, but I have a horrible feeling that if does, Bobby will be the one who finds it.

always loved this scene. major briggs is just a great character and i'm really warming to bobby in the new series.
