Featured review
A few of the reviewers proceeding me seem to have found this episode to be particularly slow in sections, and this was looked upon as a mild flaw, but I think that the prevalence of steady silence spread throughout this entry in the series helped it quite a bit. It is obviously intentional that many scenes move as a slower pace, and I applaud Lynch for simultaneously testing my patience and making me laugh in the process. Many scenes are so awkward and discomforting due largely to their length and the amount of pauses in between dialogue, and it works really well in a comic sense. There's a certain scene featuring Gordon Cole and Albert that is made all the more hilarious thanks to Lynch's off beat, painstakingly slow direction and plotting.
This is probably one of the more comedic episodes of the series so far (although practically every episode feels as if it is filled with comedy, so such ranking is mostly pointless), and it is probably the one (besides maybe a few of the really, really early ones when Lynch seemed to have been testing the waters of incorporating his brand of absurdist humor back into "Twin Peaks") that made me laugh the hardest. Like, there were moments in which I just couldn't stop laughing. Of course, it's not all laugh out loud comedy, there's still plenty more mystery and drama. The scene in which Sheriff Truman informs Ben Horne of his son's barbaric criminal behavior is both greatly unsettling and, in the end, kind of bittersweet. Another scene that can be described in a similar fashion is the key sequence featuring Audrey Horne, whose return is rather sudden, but extremely pleasing nonetheless. This sequence stretches on for a long time, making it another of one of the episode's notably slow moments, but it's extremely entertaining. The dialogue is pretty hilarious, but it also has a mild taste of melancholy and pain.
There wasn't exactly as much plot progression in this episode as there was in many of the previous few, but it still contains a few essential scenes (I didn't even MENTION the strange and slyly scary scenes featuring Sarah Palmer, another character who has been mostly absent from the show until now) and plenty of moments coated in laughs, tears, and mystery.
