Another very slow episode, except this one was full to the brim with romance. Now for me, romance is up there with action as a convention that I honestly couldn't care less about. It takes a LOT for me to actually care about a character's romantic relationship, so when there were characters in this episode like James and Evelyn, Nadine and Mike (kinda), Charlotte and Ben, Harry and Josie, I just don't really have all that much reason to care. Ed and Norma is ever so slightly touching, and ironically the best couple in the show, Shelly and Bobby, weren't very coupley in this episode. This whole thing with Lucy, Dick, and Andy is also quite tiresome, as well as finding out Nicky's background. Even the ending with this weird chess game felt a bit out of the blue. The only things to me of interest this episode were the mystery surrounding Major Briggs, and the ending confrontation, where Jean Renault gave a very thought-provoking speech. Is Cooper responsible for all the weird happenings in Twin Peaks? He certainly seems to be linked in some way to the supernatural. I'm hoping the plot can move along sooner rather than later, and I'm assuming it will given there were a few cliffhangers this episode
