“The Black Widow”

Last episode I found a real slog to get through. This one was considerably better.

I found a few of these storylines to catch my attention. I do not remember much about where some of them go, but there are some intriguing ideas.

Starting with Little Nicky. The mysterious child who Dick and Andy have been spending some time with has some curious things happen around him. Although the image of Little Nicky in a thought bubble over Andy’s head was silly, I really like the initial concept involving him.

Major Briggs’ sudden return from wherever was done well too. He is being folded into the White Lodge storyline, which will eventually tie back into Killer Bob, and one of the biggest, most vital pieces of the Twin Peaks mythos. I also like the current progression of Bobby Briggs, who has been criminally underused. Not as underused as Audrey Horne, though, as she needs something more to do.

The whole James storyline remains one of the worst on the show as they are setting up a murder. James ahs to be one of the dumbest characters on screen.

Nadine kicking Mike’s butt on the wrestling mat was funny, but it was not very accurate in high school wrestling, which does draw the audience out of the already weird situation. Nadine’s super strength is something that I do not think the show ever truly deals with.

Dougie’s death at the ‘hands’ of his new bride saw veteran actor Tony Jay removed form the cast fairly quickly. I am not sure how I feel about the men of Twin Peaks totally fascinated and enthralled by her stories and her presence as they were. It was funny, but it does not feel as if this is going to go anywhere.

Ben Horne is starting to go off the deep end and this could be very interesting. The fall of the house of Horne gets very bizarre, if I remember correctly.

While some of these stories seem to be picking up juice, I do not think that many of them really pay off. Maybe I do not remember it correctly, but I guess we will see.
