TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN
Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET
SERIES FINALE: The TV event of the night, without question, is the two-hour, two-episode finale of Twin Peaks: The Return. Last week, in hour 16 of this 18-hour revisit by David Lynch and Mark Frost, Kyle MacLachlan’s Dale Cooper finally, finally, showed up, at least mentally. But with two hours to go, Sheryl Lee’s Laura Palmer, the central mystery of the original Twin Peaks series, has yet to appear, except as a vision – and since she appeared with Cooper, in the original series, in a flash-forward of the Black Lodge set some 25 years in the future, she should appear tonight. But if you expect logic, or consistency, much less closure, from Lynch and company, you haven’t been watching. But if you have, and have seen such deliciously odd moments as the reprisal of Audrey Horne’s dance by Sherilynn Fenn, then you’re sure to be here for tonight’s finale – whatever it does, and doesn’t, accomplish.
