TWIN PEAKS — 2.04 Episode 11 “Laura’s Secret Diary”

Lara Flynn Boyle as Donna Hayward TWIN PEAKS (1990-1991)

TWIN PEAKS: SEASON ONE (1990) Episode 3 — “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer”

COOPER’S DREAM Twin Peaks, 1.06

Twin Peaks- 1x03: ‘Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer’. Original air date: April 19, 1990

The first half hour of Twin Peaks is a an exquisite piece of melodrama, unparalleled. The entire series is truly, but the premiere is masterful in the way Lynch sets all the pieces spinning like toy tops, which orbit and fly off throughout. But the first 30 minutes are something so beautiful and affected; the people in this town learning of a girl named Laura’s death, the ways their faces and bodies contort in overwhelming grief, attempting to jump out of themselves (a theme which Lynch plays with throughout the duration of the series). The attention paid to commonplace objects and spaces now hold such heightened energy and subtext. The expanse of a phone cord transmitting tragedy, the wind in the Douglas firs, the empty school hallways, the whirling ceiling fan up the staircase. All devoid of some presence that once existed, now a space full of mysteries and traumas.
