S2, E2: Coma

This week, Back to the Double R runs with a dangerous crowd for Season 2, Episode 2, “Coma,” which originally aired on 10/6/90. As ever, we discuss any and all plot points for this ep, so watch before listening!

We kick off with a discussion of spoilers versus speculation in a Twin Peaks rewatch, including a couple accidental bullseyes. Colin asks if the magical silliness is beginning to go too far, but is ultimately persuaded that it isn’t; Jennifer looks at the many tangled messages threading through the city and the narrative; Damon visits with the Tremonds and notices something familiar about the drapes; and Jonathan asks about the rules that govern Killer Bob and characters like him. We wrap up with a Twist on musical moments this week and how the show digs its 50s roots.
