Excellent episode (or part of the 18 hour movie!).
I think even the more skeptical among fans will find this one easy to love (that seems to be the vibe also). 3 and 8 are my favorite parts so far but this was very effective also.
I've never disliked Dougie at all but his arc here was simply great.
Then the Twin Peaks scenes were just a pure Lynch rollercoaster. I was breathless throughout. Shelly on the car! Her daughter going berserk!
And then there was Gersten Hayward! Which I didn't realize was her until afterwards. On a related note where I'm probably the only person in the world, but when rewatching the series the last time I found Harriet Hayward weirdly off and fascinating (she only ever appearrs in Lynch episodes which helps I suspect). Who cares about seeing Audrey or Donna again?! I wanna know about Harriet, her poems and seeings! I doubt it will happen but here was Gersten at least. Not how you might expect, that is for sure.
Loved the kid that shot at the Double R.
The whole absurd sequence with the honking and what follows. The Twin Peaks police dept getting bombarded by calls (119! 119!)
At this point I adore Candie. Her, Dougie with more Dale mannerisms + cherry pie, the mob brothers, Ms Jackpots and Badalementi magic on the piano was fantastic. Viva Las Vegas.
The Lodge opening thing that Gordon Cole (on yet another Sycamore street of course) looked up into also seemed almost blue rosey in its imagery.
Opening scene with the boy seeing the still alive Miriam(?) perhaps even the best scene of a great bunch, the way it was shot and build (also with reckless driving in mind).
The way the boy looked at her instantly made me think of Jeffrey seeing Dorothy stumbling naked and wounded down the street in Blue Velvet. Lynch himself has told a story of a similar experience that he had as a boy and how nothing was the same after that.
Apart from Mr. C, Part 11 had almost everything.
