In Twin Peaks’ third season, Sonny Jim Jones has an affinity for the wild west. From the wallpaper to the curtains to the toys beside his bed, desert plains make up the aesthetic of his bedroom. As the 2017 Showtime revival tended to be a bit more sparsely decorated than the original series, I loved…
From the moment Naido (Nae Yuuki) first appeared on screen in Part 3 from Twin Peaks: The Return, I knew David Lynch and Mark Frost’s third season would be something special. Shrouded in mystery, the first exchange between Special Agent Dale Cooper and her left me speechless. I had never seen anything like it on…
I love finding things from Japan about David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. For more than three decades, the Japanese have maintained a fascination with this wonderful and strange show.

Julee Cruise returned to The Roadhouse when Part 17 of Twin Peaks: The Return aired on Sept. 3, 2017. She was part of a revolving jukebox of musicians who performed in the small town bar. Her performance of “The World Spins” would be the final time she appeared on screen for the wonderful and strange show….
I love when the real world of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington intersects with the wonderful and strange world of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. In Twin Peaks: The Return, there are several hand-painted murals seen across the street from the Double R Diner (known as Twede’s Cafe in North Bend). Local Artist Richard “Dick” Burhans created…
There are a lot of watches and clocks seen throughout Twin Peaks: The Return, from Mr. C’s car to the American Girl. One of the first timepieces seen is from Part 1 and is worn by Sam Colby (Benjamin Rosenfield). He was hired to watch The Glass Box in New York City. Sam’s watch was…
