Listen "Special #9: Twin Peaks, The International Pilot"
Episode Synopsis
The circle is now complete! We started our humble rewatch adventure with you roughly a year and a half ago, and in that time, we have worked our way through 48 episodes, a pile of books, and several tasty Specials. Now, not unlike our earnest Man in Black, we go back to where it all started: the pilot episode of the series! But wait! Because this is Twin Peaks (and Back to the Double R), there’s a Twist! We couldn’t resist the opportunity to go back and change history. Instead of the standard pilot, we watched the infamous “international pilot,” with its twenty-odd minutes (and they certainly are odd) tacked on to the end. It was the best of both worlds, a chance to reflect on that very first episode and to contemplate alternative universes that just don’t seem quite right. This week: Colin investigates the Lynch magic that made us instant, rabid fans; Jonathan reaches back for Sheriff Harry Truman and How It Started with Cooper; Jennifer is seeing Bobs within Bobs, and other multiplicities; and Damon says it was always going to end like this. For the Twist, we savor the sweetness this alternate universe offers us via a snapshot of the wacky home life of Lucy and Andy.
