Trivia:
Maddy Ferguson's murder sequence in the Palmer living room was shot three different ways, once with Killer Bob (Frank Silva), once with Leland (Ray Wise), and once with Ben Horne (Richard Beymer). As David Lynch explains in a 1997 interview with Chris Rodley, this was done to "keep the answer from getting out to the public; it would have leaked out in two seconds. Richard Beymer was really a great sport, because he knew it wasn't him."See more »

Surreal, brilliant, terrifying, 23 April 2007
Author: ametaphysicalshark from prejudicemadeplausible.wordpress.com

The conclusion and solution of one of the greatest and best known fictional mysteries in history deserved a great episode to surround it, and it didn't just get that, it got what was possibly the greatest television episode of all time. Mark Frost's perfect script, David Lynch's truly extraordinary abilities as a director, and Angelo Badalamenti's greatest musical score make this possibly the greatest forty five minutes ever made for television. I have rarely seen such capable use of color, imagery, or music on television or in movies, even by David Lynch. As for the conclusion itself, I won't reveal it for anyone on earth fortunate enough to watch this series without knowing the identity of the killer, it is more than satisfying, it is shocking, dramatic, and brilliantly executed.

No television episode is quite like this. I applaud David Lynch and Mark Frost not just for this sublime episode, but also for the creation of a story and characters who deserved something like this to finish off the show's earliest main storyline. Truly one of the greatest things ever committed to celluloid, although there was one more episode of this show to follow which could be considered as good or better than this.
