PART 14

"Part 14 is built on a paradox. These stories are tense, thrilling, touching, and thoroughly believable. They’re also intentionally flimsy, riddled with reasons to doubt them. No story is entirely true to the original experience, for too many reasons to count. Memories are faulty. Moments are evanescent. Narrators are unreliable. Even the most faithful retelling necessarily leaves out great swathes of information, if only because a story that recounted every bit of its circumstances would be a cacophony of detail with no intelligible meaning."

"...Twin Peaks is not a show where all the pieces come together like a puzzle. Instead, we get elements, shades, and ingredients poured together into a cauldron, then stirred together to create a deep, swirling variance of ever-changing hues. So perhaps it is no accident this week that we see several allusions to the aptly named “vortex” that appears in the sky... For the action of stirring, like the vortex of the sky, creates a spiral that begins to move faster and faster with time. With this week’s episode, we not only get one of the most symbolically dense hours yet, we feel something that we have really yet to experience with the show: a sense of momentum."
