A new season begins with much more challenges and excitement that follows the daily activity and struggle of Dale Cooper, a young intelligent FBI agent, who investigates on the murder of a young girl, the thing that challenges him, as he reveals more horrible secrets. This season begins with a similar murder that reopens the old case of Palmer.
It can feel a tad bit desperate at times, like the writers were trying to expand their particular brand of weirdness, which is fine, except that weirdness is Lynch's, and he's not the one doing it.
The few interesting story fragments from this episode, namely the disappearance of Major Briggs and the first hints towards the Black Lodge, are barely dealt with, as are anything to do Cooper's nemesis, Windom Earle.
The answer, PEAKS FANS, is no. Mid-second season Twin Peaks is still sort of awful, and not even in an endearing way. Just in a "oh my God is Josie in another scene?" kind of way.
