Welcome to the third installment of Twin Peaks: Revisited! This week, we’ll recap and review the third episode of the series, “Zen, Or The Skill To Catch A Killer. Watch Twin Peaks - Season 1, Episode 1 - Pilot "Northwest Passage": The small northwest town of Twin Peaks, Washington is shaken up when the body of the Homecoming. In fact, were it not for the. It can always get worse. That is my takeaway from "Late." Ofglen is gone. The Eyes came for her in the night, much as you'd expect from a totalitarian secret police. Twin Peaks is an American television serial drama created by David Lynch and Mark Frost.

Angelo Badalamenti’s soundtrack to “Twin Peaks” is one of the best- remembered parts of the series. His spare arrangement of twangy guitar, rippling electric piano, brushed drums, and muted, droning synthesizer — rightly hailed by Audrey Horne as “too dreamy” — definitely sets a tone, at once catchy and slightly askew. Inspired by the jazzy cool of ’5. Greek chorus gasps of soap- opera organs, Badalamenti pulls a similar sonic trick several times an episode. He starts a cue with something warm and upbeat, then shifts in a split- second to an ominous hum.

The soundtrack became a metaphor for “Twin Peaks” itself: by turns fun, artificial, and menacing. The music also functioned as a kind of dog- whistle, which some folks watching at home could “hear” and some couldn’t. Nearly 3. 5 million Americans watched the “Twin Peaks” pilot, and more than 2.

Thursday night time- slot — with roughly the same number coming back for the third episode. Over the course of the next two months, though, viewership would decline, as the drama’s more artificial and offbeat qualities discouraged less adventurous viewers. Still, the show remained popular enough through its abbreviated first season to be counted as a genuine phenomenon, as week by week the co- creators David Lynch and Mark Frost dropped more clues, brought in new characters, and exposed fresh scandals.

This season’s “True Story” will take place, at least to start, in Minnesota in 2010. It centers on the story of Emmit and Ray Stussy (both played by Ewan.

Season 1, Episode 2: . It mostly does the work that so many second episodes do: re- establishing the premise and tone of the show while advancing the plot just enough to keep viewers hooked.

In this case, the biggest development involves the drug- dealing truck driver Leo Johnson, who appeared only briefly in episode one. Given more screen- time, he proves himself a proper creep.

He beats his wife Shelly with a bar of soap wrapped in a sock, because he suspects (correctly) that she hid the bloody shirt he asked her to wash. Watch Empty HIGH Quality Definitons. That’s a potentially major break in the Laura Palmer case — that, and a revelation that the murder victim’s psychiatrist, Dr. Lawrence Jacoby (played by Russ Tamblyn), compulsively listens to audiotapes of their sessions while clutching her locket.

Mostly, however, Episode 2 is notable for how quickly and strongly it ramps up the absurdist comedy. The episode opens with a long sequence of Agent Cooper as he dictates his thoughts on the cleanliness of the Great Northern hotel back to Diane at F. B. I. Later, the two lawmen grab a bite at the Double R Diner, where they see the lumber- cradling local weirdo known as the Log Lady (Catherine E. Twin Peaks’ most prominent eccentric (which is saying something) walks by the men and warns, “One day, my log will have something to say about this.”Donna (Lara Flynn Boyle) morphing into Laura (Sheryl Lee) in a scene from “Twin Peaks.”ABCWhile it’s far from being the most memorable episode of “Twin Peaks,” it does clarify the show’s two main selling points: dark mystery and shameless kookiness. Both are evident in the scene in which Donna Hayward tries to console Sarah Palmer, only to see Laura’s mother break down into hysterics after having visions of her daughter’s face and a longhaired killer. As Donna puts it to her own mother — in what could be this show’s slogan — the aftermath of the murder has been like “having the most beautiful dream and the most terrible nightmare, all at once.”Season 1, Episode 3: .

In fact, were it not for the strange- talking, contorted- dancing man in the blood- red room, “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer” might be thought of as “the one in which Agent Cooper whispers names into rocks, then throws the rocks at a bottle to see who might’ve killed Laura Palmer.” (The bottle, by the way, breaks when hit by the “Leo” rock. That’s strike two for the trucker, after the bloody shirt.)This is also the chapter that introduces Ben Horne’s hipster brother, Jerry (David Patrick Kelly), who takes the boat across the Canadian border to check out the new girl at the casino and brothel One Eyed Jacks. It’s also the one in which the acerbic F. B. I. And even before the mind- bending final scene, we’re treated to two other curious dance sequences: one in which Audrey gets up in the middle of the diner to sway to the “dreamy” music on the jukebox, and another in which Leland Palmer puts on a big band record and wails like a wounded animal while twirling around his living room with Laura’s picture in his hands. Sherilyn Fenn as Audrey in “Twin Peaks.”ABCAs popular and singular as the pilot was, the third episode is what really locked in what this show could be, stringing together one beguiling or bizarre scene after another with seemingly minimal concern for where all the madness was headed. It’s surely not coincidental that “Twin Peaks” settled down to a weekly average of about 1.

When he wakes up, with his hair noticeably disheveled, Cooper proclaims that he knows who killed Laura Palmer, even though all he really seemed to dredge up from his subconscious was that a one- armed man named Mike and a longhaired man named Bob — the latter being the same person as the one from Sarah Palmer’s visions — played some part in what happened. Michael J. Anderson and Sheryl Lee in “Twin Peaks.”ABCThe credits roll as our hero smiles and snaps in time with the music from his dream — the most aggressively arty five minutes of television ever aired on a major network. Season 1, Episode 4: . In the first five minutes, the agent admits to Sheriff Truman that his dream gave him only some general guidelines for the people and details to start looking for.

Much of the action that follows is routine police procedural business: a reading of Rosenfield’s autopsy report, talking through which of Cooper’s visions connect to real- world places and people . The new character is Maddy Ferguson (Sheryl Lee), Laura Palmer’s look- alike cousin, whose arrival in Twin Peaks for the funeral confirms that Cooper’s dream was part premonition. Cooper also learns about the Bookhouse Boys, an unofficial coalition of do- gooders who for decades have been fighting against “a sort of evil” that dwells in the woods in order to keep it from encroaching too far into town. As the series plays out, Maddy becomes one of its most prominent representations of duality, and of the idea that even the uncommonly good are capable of behaving very badly. And the Bookhouse Boys? They matter because they both reinforce and push back against Cooper’s feeling that he has discovered an unspoiled Eden in Twin Peaks — “a way of life I’d thought had vanished,” as he says in one of his dictations to Diane.

There is a foundational goodness to the town, to be sure. But it doesn’t come easy. Dana Ashbrook as Bobby Briggs in “Twin Peaks.”ABCAs a case in point, look to this episode’s standout scene: Laura’s funeral, which turns into another typically sloppy event, complete with the priest’s confession that he had a special affection for Laura (“that love we reserve for the headstrong and the bold,” he calls it), and an unhinged Bobby shouting “Amen!” so loud that it makes everyone uncomfortable. Always in this town, everyone seems to be on the brink of dropping any pretense of civility. Season 1, Episode 5: .

Hunter brings a different kind of style to the show, keeping Lynch’s static, portrait- like shots but adding the occasional tilted or split frame. He more openly conjures the spirit of Alfred Hitchcock that always hovers around “Twin Peaks.”As for the one- armed man of the title — also known as Mike (Phillip Michael Gerard) — his very existence is an homage to the ’6. TV thriller “The Fugitive.” Cooper and Truman’s interrogation of this nervous traveling salesman brings them closer to the Canadian connection with Laura’s murder, which ends up dominating the rest of Season 1. It’s also another example of the show’s almost functioning as an ordinary murder mystery. Russ Tamblyn as Dr.
