The last half of the second season of "Twin Peaks" hit a serious lull. The weirdness and horror had all but disappeared, and the many 'soap opera' subplots had derailed. Ben Horne had completely changed in to an uninteresting character. The dodgy dealings of Josie and the Packards were growing increasingly uninteresting and boring, and the Leo Johnson affair was running out of steam fast. The Andy, Lucy and Dick fiasco was also wearing thin, and the new proceedings involving Windom Earle and Agent Cooper didn't seem to be going anywhere. Then we were gearing towards a finale concerning the Miss Twin Peaks pageant. What's going on here? All that was holding it together were the brilliant characters and the inherent quirkiness of the show. So, I tentatively stuck on the final episode, hoping that I wouldn't be too disappointed. I still loved the show, and vowed to continue to do so come what may. In the opening credits, I noticed that David Lynch was back at the helm. He had been absent from the chair for most of the second season, but had racked up more screen-time as his hard-of-hearing FBI agent character. At least I'm in good hands, I thought, with the main man back. And I wasn't wrong. This episode was one of the best of the entire series. It was absolutely terrifying and jaw-dropping, and for me, it wrapped up a few loose ends. The final scene is absolutely fantastic. It's a grim ending to proceedings, given the love I had for the characters, particularly Agent Cooper. The Red Room scenes are some of the finest pieces of horror ever committed to celluloid. Lynch is best when doing horror. This would be proven yet again in the Mystery Man scene in Lynch's 1997 film "Lost Highway".
