10 Things We Learned From Twin Peaks: The Return Part 5

10. The Scariest Things Are That Which We Cannot See

The opening scene sees Tammie Baird's Lorraine lament the botched assassination job on Dougie Jones in a terrified panic.

"She's a worrier," one of the goons says. The camera cuts to her office, her face twisted in a fearful grimace, her fingers digging into her nails. She agonises over the message she needs to send, nostrils flared, her hair as frayed as her nerves. She dials a number on her Blackberry. We then cut to an as-yet unknown location signposted by a lightbulb. More electricity. The message is received by a mysterious black device decorated only by two LEDs. They flicker - in red, naturally - but there is no response.

Lynch has added a Blackberry smartphone to his list of utterly mundane items (ceiling fans, videocameras ) rendered completely terrifying in his hands.

We know from the premiere that Jeffries wants Mr. C dead. We know from Part 3 that attempts on the decoy, Dougie Jones, failed. What we don't know is why Jeffries wants the doppelgänger dead - though a choice use of understated dialogue quickly led us (but didn't tell us; the sign of advanced storytelling) to a bizarre conclusion.

Recasting isn't new to the Twin Peaks universe, though Lynch resisted the temptation (and reiterated the theme of duality) by creating a second Sheriff Truman. Harry Goaz (Deputy Andy Brennan) let slip that David Bowie was slated to appear before his death, but didn't film his scenes. Then again: respectfully, how would he know? Scene partner dialogue was kept from every actor. It can be reasonably inferred that an earth-shattering cameo wasn't the topic of choice in the make-up chair.

If not Bowie, then who? Tim Roth has yet to appear. The Little Man From Another Place is now a tree. Garland Briggs and BOB have appeared via computer trickery. It's borderline impossible to predict at this point.
