Twin Peaks episode 1
airdate: April 12, 1990
director: Duwayne Dunham
writers: David Lynch, Mark Frost
Summary: Cooper receives the preliminary autopsy report; Shelley finds Leo's bloody shirt; Cooper watches the video of Laura at the picnic; James, Bobby, and Mike are released; Pete discovers a fish in his percolator; Catherine and Ben plot to burn the saw mill; Deputy Hawk sees the one-armed man; the Log Lady promises that "one day my log will have something to say;" Leo beats Shelley; Dr. Jacoby has the necklace.
*** Three star rating. Stab it and steer.
Notes: Cooper seems intrigued and suspicious of Audrey immediately. Leo's truck is "Big Pussycat." Laura and Donna's dancing is heinous. People around here say "not exactly" a lot. Josie slinking around the house in her scant nightgown is rather inappropriate. Bright red dress? (Lil?) Ronnette's father's tone is amusing, "she used to joke, it was the sweetest-smelling job she ever had. . . " Was it a rule that all women had to wear knee-length skirts? I enjoy Behmer as Ben Horne. Norma seems cold toward Cooper until he orders more pie. Good code red with the soap in the sock when Leo assults Shelley. Was Leo an ex-Marine like Bobby Peru? Dr. Jacoby has an obnoxious way of eating.
Best Lynch moment: Cooper and Audrey: DO YOUR PALMS EVER ITCH?
Best line: BY GOD THOSE THINGS WILL BE QUIET NOW! --Nadine Hurley
New Characters: The "Bookhouse Boys," the one-armed man
Coffee, pie, or doughnut references: 9
