Prominent though it was, the soundtrack was weaved seamlessly into each episode a character in and of itself, the score was as memorable as the Log Lady and as essential as Agent Cooper. In the original seasons of Twin Peaks, music was a dominant force, thanks to Angelo Badalamenti's extraordinary score. The problem isn't the music itself the problem is how it's being dropped into the show. On the contrary, across the board, the artistry on display has been incredible and very well curated. If there has been any flaw at all in this magnificent and mind-bending return to one of the '90s' greatest TV shows, it absolutely has to be the jarring insertion of a musical guest into almost every episode. It feels like, 16 episodes in, we really have seen it all: evil box monsters, Agent Cooper in space, sky vortexes, tulpas, face-removal, a talky tree, head-crushing, terrifying woodsmen (#gotalight?), a superhuman gardening glove, the inside of an atom bomb, teapot David Bowie, too much vomit, an eyeless woman, and - oh yes - bands out the wazoo. As we rapidly approach the much-anticipated finale of Twin Peaks: The Return this Sunday, it's amazing to look back on a season that has been full of jaw-dropping surprises.
