Twin Peaks' recap: 'The Return: Part 8'Subscribe to A Twin Peaks Podcast: A Podcast About Twin Peaks – on i. Tunes, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts – to unwrap the mysteries in EW’s after- show every Monday during the Showtime revival. Let it be weird. No need to explain it. No need to figure it out. No need to tame it with reason or theory.

Just let it be weird. For now. Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return was the “David Lynch on heroin” we’d been promised. For the most part, it was a mesmerizing rush of pure- cut WTF, albeit one that made a certain amount of sense for those versed with the show’s symbol system and Lynchian motifs. Still, I officially gave up trying to make sense of everything during my first viewing right about the time the eyeless transhuman entity known as Experiment started barfing foamy ejaculate containing speckled eggs and a creamed corn glob of BOB’s face. I quit taking notes, quit pressing PAUSE so I could Google things like The Manhattan Project, quit sweating that I wasn’t getting it. I decided to accept “Gotta light?” as an act of pure Strangelove. I stopped worrying about it and just enjoyed all the crazy bomb drops.

This is not to say we won’t be trying to understand it in this recap. Watch Gaga: Five Foot Two Online. We will! We should! Part 8 was this show’s version of Lost’s “Across the Sea” episode — a big bang creation myth for the evil that haunts Twin Peaks America, an origin story for the show’s cosmic horror predators; it was Lynch’s version of a ’5.

A Space Odyssey. Still, everything I have to offer in the way of being Mr. Explainer is mostly speculation, and the last thing I want to do is confuse you more than you might be. So I’ll try to be disciplined in my theories. I do hope Lynch and Mark Frost offer some illumination for what we saw here in the episodes to come, especially since some of it was literally hard to see; this was a dusky, dim episode, appropriate for a story about spiritual darkness, but some things were hard to make out. Example: the shot of the BOB embryo harvested from Dirty Cooper. But for now, I’m okay to just delight in that weirdness and (to borrow from a song recently heard on The Leftovers) let the mystery be. Also, it’s my girlfriend’s birthday, and I promised I’d celebrate her with an energetic, attentive presence unimpaired by a recap- broken brain.

Priorities, people. Part 8 opened with Dirty Cooper and Ray, newly sprung from prison, traveling by yellowy rental car at night to a place Ray liked to call “The Farm.” Fitting for a creature from the deep web of Black Lodge space, Dirty Cooper used one of his infernal devices — some kind of black magic cell phone full of cheat codes for techno- reality — to exorcise the vehicle of three tracers and/or cast them upon a truck. Poor hexed scapegoat truck!) He then threw the phone out the window, the big litterer. The earth cried from man’s indifference to the environment, and not for the last time in this episode.

Tension between these two criminals: palpable. Dirty Cooper knew that Ray had accepted a $5. But he needed to extract some information from his treacherous associate before he made him say hello to his little “friend” hidden in the glove compartment. No, not Ike the Spike — a gun!) What Dirty Cooper didn’t know was that Ray was pretty hip to all this. He had no intention of giving up whatever it was that he knew — a string of numbers; coordinates, I believe — unless the man he called “Mr.

Cooper” wished to pay for them, or so he intimated; I think Ray has no intention of giving Dirty Cooper anything he wants. Ray also knew all about the concealed weapon, and he wasn’t worried abut it for a few reasons, including the fact that he had a revolver of his own, courtesy, we might assume, of the warden whom Dirty Cooper blackmailed last week. Truly, there is no honor among thieves and their corrupt jailers. Dirty Cooper directed Ray to exit the highway and take an alternate road to their final destination.

This led to some long, Lynchian shots of Cooper and Ray driving in silence or shots from their point of view of the car following highway lines and directional markers and pushing into darkness across rough, uneven, unpaved terrain. In retrospect, Lynch’s filmmaking choices foreshadow the protracted odyssey to come: This was an episode that basically departed from the show’s main narrative (such as it is) to go off- roading into the wilds of Twin Peaks mythology. Ray stopped the car in the woods because he had to take a leak, because by now, it just wouldn’t be an episode of Twin Peaks without someone peeing.

The show’s biggest whizzer, coffee- chugging Dougie, was MIA this week.) Perhaps Dirty Cooper could smell the bulls— on Ray. He retrieved the gun, checked the chamber, and demanded that Ray cough up the digits in his head. Ray spun around with a gun of his own.

Dirty Cooper was the first to pull trigger — but the gun didn’t fire. Click- click- jammed! Tricked you, f—er,” quipped Ray, who then put Dirty Cooper down with two bullets in the chest. And that’s when s— got freaky.(Recap continues on page 2)A gang of spectral hobos bolted from a grove of trees and hustled to Dirty Cooper’s fallen body — a bum rush. Charlie: A Toy Story Full Movie'>Charlie: A Toy Story Full Movie. Sporting unkempt beards, mottled skin, wool hats, plaid shirts or oversized jackets, they all resembled versions of the character I’ve been calling The Charred Man, the creepy figure who was first seen striking a tortured pose in — and then disappearing from — a Buckhorn jail cell earlier this season. Watch Sherlock Holmes In Washington Putlocker. He was last seen last week, wandering the halls the Buckhorn police morgue. Inspired by the credits, we shall now be referring this brotherhood of sinister shades as the Woodsmen.

Note the way Lynch shot this scene. For a few seconds, Dirty Cooper’s body was momentarily absent as three of the Woodsmen danced around the space where it had been while another three Woodsmen began pawing the dirt; together they seemed to be performing a ritual.

But then Dirty Cooper’s body faded back into view, so now the Woodsmen were pawing him. It was if Lynch had temporarily removed him from the scene to teach us how to read the Woodsmen — that they were digging into him, sifting through him, as one would dig and sift for something buried. As Dirty Cooper became more solid, the action of the manhandling smeared blood over his clothes and face. It also might have widened those bullet holes, to allow for the evil entity inside Dirty Cooper to squeeze free — a grotesque, cesarean birthing. Out popped BOB, his scruffy, sneering mug encased within a gray slimy sac, a corrupt chrysalis.

That’s one way to perform an exorcism, I guess. Are the Woodsmen good?

Evil? Morally neutral? Here, at the moment of their introduction, it’s hard to know. Perhaps they were functioning as Repo- Men, executing the work of reclaiming BOB for the Black Lodge. Perhaps they have their own agenda and they stole BOB from Dirty Cooper to advance it. Just looking at the Woodsmen as abstractions or thematic constructs: here you have scavenger- archaeologists digging into something fallen and dirty and excavating something old, something sinister.

In this way, the Woodsmen are framing the activity of the rest of the episode, which will dig into history and present us with another kind of evil, one that shaped the identity of our country and changed the world.
