Back on track....

It is no secret that the show lost steam starting from episode 10 of the 2nd season, and it lasted 4 to 5 episodes, but by now, the show has gotten back on track. There are still some flaws, but the direction and writing already have the same tone and feel as it had before when Laura's mystery wasn't solved yet. The suspense is there once again, and the characters' plots are finally coming full circle. If you watch this series, and learn about the downfall in the middle of the season, don't worry, it lasts at most only 5 episodes. Plus, even when Twin Peaks was at it's weakest, it is still better than most Television shows out there. Twin Peaks is surely going to keep the plots coming!
