And finally ultimately What about Bob With its dream logic bizarre behavior and nightmare imagery much of what transpires goes right by you.

In Twin Peaks' second season the truth is out there but we are entering A Few Good Men territory.

The teases red herrings and out and out gonzo looniness will try the patience of viewers with a more conventional bent. But as Cooper observes at one point All in all it's a very interesting experience with enough doppelgangers allusions pop culture references and in jokes to keep bloggers buzzing. If for example you get any pleasure from recognizing Hank Worden who played Mose in The Searchers as the world's most decrepit room service waiter then Twin Peaks may just make you feel right at home.
