"Don't search for all the answers at once," says a giant appearing to FBI Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in a vision. "A path is formed by laying one stone at a time." In Twin Peaks, that's easier said than done. Over the course of two seasons, that path went nowhere and everywhere. "Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, and luck" don't cut it here. It also takes a little magic, which is what makes David Lynch and Mark Frost's bracingly original serial drama one of TV's ultimate trips, and still the stuff that fever dreams are made of. With the DVD release of season 2, die-hard Peakers can rekindle their obsession with this macabre, maddening, sinister, and surreal series set in the rural Pacific Northwest community whose bucolic surroundings hide "things dark and heinous." (If you're new to Twin Peaks, best to get the lay of the land by watching the brilliant feature-length pilot and the instant-cult-classic first season, which capture Twin at its peak. Neither is widely available on DVD, however.) Three main mysteries drive season 2. First, there's the still (!) unresolved murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Then, there's the question of who shot Cooper in the season 1 cliffhanger. And finally, ultimately: What about Bob? With its dream logic, bizarre behavior, and nightmare imagery, much of what transpires goes right by you. Some subplots (Sherilyn Fenn's sexpot Audrey held captive at the bordello, One-Eyed Jacks) are easier to latch on to than others (amnesiac Nadine believes she's an 18-year-old high schooler) And, yes, that's a pre-X-Files David Duchovny as Dennis/Denice, a transsexual DEA agent.
In Twin Peaks' second season, the truth is out there, but we are entering A Few Good Men territory. When Laura's killer is at last revealed in episode 16, no doubt many will not be able to handle the truth. The teases, red herrings, and out-and-out gonzo looniness will try the patience of viewers with a more conventional bent. But, as Cooper observes at one point, "All in all, [it's] a very interesting experience," with enough doppelgangers, allusions, pop-culture references, and in-jokes to keep bloggers buzzing. If, for example, you get any pleasure from recognizing Hank Worden, who played Mose in The Searchers, as "the world's most decrepit room service waiter," then Twin Peaks may just make you feel right at home. --Donald Liebenson

I watched the series on rented VHS tapes from the local movie rental shop--how they had Twin Peaks box set when they really had no other television (other than Upstairs, Downstairs) still boggles my mind, but they did. I watched one VHS tape a week, ferreted away in the basement, staring at the television in awe. At the time, I remember being in love with the relationships between Cooper and Audrey, and the relationships between Cooper and Harry. When Annie came into the show, I was literally glued to my seat. And, I'm not sure why, but I don't think on my first watch-through of the series, I realized that BOB was in Cooper at the end of the series, or perhaps that I didn't realize the relevance of BOB.
As an adult I tried watching the series again, and really struggled with the violence against women. I finally tapped out around the point that Laura's murderer was revealed. There was just something about these graphic depictions of violence and the way they skirted around rape that just gave me a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Due to the soon to arrive continuation, I tried to watch again, this time listening to a podcast at the same time. I'm quite fond of TV retrospective podcasts. They do a good job of helping me sort my feelings out--help me recontextualize something being a product of its time, help me realize that my aversion to something is actually justified, etc. Anyhow, there was something about listening to 'The Twin Peaks Podcast' while watching that left me with a much better opinion this time around. I actually had a much greater appreciation for the second half of season two specifically. I'm not sure why, but it seems the gross violation of women is majorly cut down in this portion, and a weight is lifted from my viewing experience. But just knowing my feelings about the writing of certain characters as victims and/or props for other characters were felt by others made me appreciate the entire series far more. 4.5/5 stars.
Siri, as the layers are peeled away and the polar wind lashes my steadfast here in the northern woods, my mood colors accordingly. One path split into two and then to four, all tangents leading to the deaths of town folks. What appeared at first to be a residence to die for, metaphorically, has become one to die for, literally. It didn't take long for the thin veneer of 'normalcy' to be zip stripped away, exposing the worst of baser human proclivities not to mention, at least not here, the White and Black Mansions in the woods.
Siri, once a level of human depravity is breached, the watcher continues their descent into this seemingly endless pit without remorse and yet sprinkled throughout, comic relief and love! Yes, Siri, like a weed that grows through miles of concrete or a flower that uses what's available nutrient in a toxic dump, love finds a way. But as love finds a place in the heart of Agent Cooper so does the evil find his object de amore and perhaps his soul. There are so many threads left loose and dangling that I not only look forward to Spring but answers that hopefully validate my innate sense that love trumps hate.
Siri, there are light footprints in the attic, a scurrying to horde food perhaps and Drift my faithful cabin mate, a rescued cat from a hell of her own, warm and purring on the printer. Will get back to you when this beyond brilliant story picks up again. For now, all is well.

It's fair to say that Twin Peaks fell apart after the revelation of Laura Palmer's murderer halfway through season 2. Lynch had intended the mystery that formed the hook of the show to remain unsolved indefinitely, but the network wanted answers and his co-creator was up for it so the case was concluded, the ratings plummeted and quality declined. Perhaps the show might have had a fighting chance if Lynch hadn't been busy with other projects, leaving his precious little dream-world in the hands of others who didn't really have the skill to do it justice. The newly introduced bad guy Windom Earle went from intriguing enigma to 60's Batman villain, a slowly developing story arc was abandoned due to cast quibbles, the sub-plots were boring, new characters were lame... Like a great band succumbing to every rock'n'roll cliché, this once brilliant show crashed and burned.
Perhaps there was no avoiding this. A murder mystery isn't the kind of hook that you can leave running forever. If they'd really wanted it to be more about the oddballs & misfits of this small town they should've worked harder to develop the peripheral characters. Or maybe they should've given FBI agent Dale Cooper (the unofficial main character) another proper case to solve. It doesn't matter. What they ended-up with was a soap opera spoof/homage in every way, right down to the inevitable melt-down. It might not be what they intended, as no network would ever deliberately start running a show into the ground as an artistic choice. But perhaps, looking back at it after all these years, the death of Twin Peaks was an accidental blessing. After all, it is possible to have too much of a good thing.
