Dale Cooper is the outside in Twin Peaks, fascinated by the town's mysteries and tantalized by its curious charms. Is it possible to feel nostalgic for a dead girl? By the season 2 finale, the offering of a young woman has become almost ceremonial - an idea that goes supernova in Fire Walk With Me.
(Recall: Cooper, talking to Annie about Heisenberg, creator of the Uncertainty Principle, the idea that the mere act of looking changes what you're looking at.) And, on a deeper level, you can feel the show expressing some central frustration: The weird feeling that everyone, characters on the show and audience watching at home, misses the mystery of Laura Palmer. Not necessarily that he was "bad," but that his mere fact of investigating was stirring up greater forces than he could ever understand. And it is impossible to imagine that Handmaid's Tale would suddenly introduce a subplot where one character starts to restage the Civil War in their office, impossible to imagine that next week on Handmaid's Tale someone will get amnesia and super-strength and join the high school wrestling team.Īll to say: I wonder if Twin Peaks season 2 was, in some dark, rumbly way, building up to some greater complexity with Dale Cooper.
(Although maybe most shipping is missing the point - and I say that as someone who thinks half the Star Trek movies only make sense if Kirk and Spock are sleeping together.) I love Handmaid's Tale. Synth/Ambient/Electronic/Orchestration/Jazz/OST Here is the complete soundtrack to season 2 of 'Twin Peaks' by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch. You could even watch it with a shipper's eye - Max Minghella, you work on that car - although that's maybe missing the point. The Handmaid's Tale has a perfect control of its tone, capable of shifting from disturbingly close-by American dystopia to dark-humor trench feminism. Take, like, The Handmaid ‘s Tale, maybe the best weird-unsettling-thrilling drama on television right now.
TWIN PEAKS SEASON TWO TV
In the context of TV drama circa 2017, it's fascinating, a stylistic collide that few shows today would dare. Circa 1991, this probably played frustratingly for any viewer.
