Time to continue my Twin Peaks: The Return rewatch with Part 12 "Let& #39;s Rock." Back during first airing, I thought this was the weakest installment. Let& #39;s see if my opinion still holds up. THREAD 1/
The opening scene is great. I loved hearing the history of the Blue Rose Task Force and would happily watch a spinoff focused on it. 2/
Albert: Everyone who& #39;s ever been involved with the Blue Rose has mysteriously disappeared so we were wondering--

Note the same Angelo Badalamenti& #39;s music cue here that appears when Cooper discovers the "Let& #39;s Rock" message on Agent Desmond& #39;s car in FWWM - "Back to Fat Trout" (Unease Motif/The Woods)." 4/
My favorite scene of Part 12 is Sarah at the supermarket. Even in her 70s, Grace Zabriskie has lost none of her sheer power and intensity. I believe "Something happened to me" is a reference to her swallowing the frogmoth as a little girl and the men coming are the Woodsmen. 5/
Another powerhouse performance from Grace Zabriskie. And I sympathize with Sarah in this scene. Though I don& #39;t doubt the sincerity of Hawk& #39;s offer to help, I feel like the whole town had wilfully forgotten about Sarah until her supermarket freakout. 6/
I would just like to remind everyone that none of this would have been possible without Jade& #39;s kindness in returning the key. 7/
Ben& #39;s longing for the (possibly idealized) past is right on brand for his character. 8/
The scene with the French Woman is not really about her, but about Albert and his relationship with Gordon. Miguel Ferrer is brilliant in this scene - no need for big, sarcastic monologues like those from S1/S2 when he can express so much through subtlest of means. 9/
Though I enjoy Russ Tamblyn losing his sh^t, I admit I find another Dr. Amp scene repetitive partly because there is no escalation. But I guess those scenes are really more about Nadine and his effect on her. 10/
I remember how in 2017 people were freaking out about the absence of Audrey but when she finally appeared, they were even more furious. I find her storyline intriguing, though I wish she wasn& #39;t as isolated from the other characters. But I believe now that was purposeful. 11/
Even though I find this Roadhouse scene mostly forgettable, there& #39;s a notable appearance by Scott Coffey who also appeared in Mulholland Drive, and directed a really funny movie named Ellie Parker starring Naomi Watts, which is worth seeing for all David Lynch fans. 12/
All in all, I find Part 12 to be a bit more uneven as compared to other parts but there& #39;s still some fantastic moments, especially those couple of scenes with Grace Zabriskie and the opening Blue Rose Task Force meeting. 13/
