About the most recent episode:

I'm not usually a director-basher but I was honestly
annoyed by the pacing and photography in this episode. The director
didn't seem to be into the spirit of the writing.
Cooper was photographed from so many odd angles I expected to see
him upside down next. And the scene at the roadhouse was unmagical.
 
The long, slow opening scene with the Cooper gang walking was
attractive but indicated a 'pedestrian' episode.
Much of the hours seemed like an effort to cram information in.
After the long, slow delicate buildup the  final answer to the question
of Who Killed Laura Palmer was too abrupt.
 
But there were things I really liked in this episode, such as the utterly
un-mystical looking woman who replaced the Tremondes.
And the emotional undercurrents at play in Dick Tremaine.
I think Dick is starting to feel competitive about the baby. 
He may actually try to outshine Andy as the better
man.
 
And some new mysteries have been added to keep us guessing.
What happened to Cooper in Pittsburg and how did BOB know about it?
And why did Leland refer to 'them' wanting Laura?
