What's to dislike?
I finished season 1+2 before watching season 3 for the first time now, having reached this episode. A lot of people seem to be up in arms about it, calling it boring or pointless.
In a way, I can see how one can find it boring or tedious. But so is looking at the Mona Lisa or the Pyramids. David Lynch is an artist. There is meaning in every scene, even if the meaning is just to poke fun at typical TV tropes.
Take for instance how NO ONE seems to really notice how Dougie/Cooper is out there like Pluto...do you really think that's sloppy writing? I don't think so. I think it's on purpose. Maybe to show us how most people are so focused on themselves that they don't even really realize other people's condition as long as they seem to function/appear normal. Heck, one of the girls at the office even seemed to be smitten by Dougie almost wetting himself like a little boy, needing help, since she offered him a kiss.
Speaking of the Dougie arc: Yes, of course it tests your patience. But you know what? The longer I see Kyle do this brilliantly, the more I wish there was a spin off, called "Life of Dougie" or something. There's just something calming and soothing about watching an innocent man child go through the motions with a child-like sense of wonder while "Windswept" by Johnny Jewel can be heard.
The new Twin Peaks is different, yes. It's because this is the show we would have gotten, had it been mostly Lynch with complete freedom to decide. Basically, I feel it's a lot like the once planned Mulholland Drive tv series that never materialized. Lynch did say it's the same TV universe and several of the actors are in it(although he does that a lot).
For sure, it's more "Fire, Walk with me" than "Nadine joins the cheerleaders". But with half the cast dead, how else could they continue? I accept that things are different. At its core, it's still the same show though and the same mysteries that draw me in.
Try to see it like a piece of art, open to interpretation. Don't over-analyse everything and just enjoy the ride, the images, the music, the impressions. Because that's how Lynch himself suggests we should do it. If you can do that, I think you'll enjoy the show. It's a bold show that no one else could pull off.
