Anime Review: Please Put Them On, Takamine-San!
Ghu Bless the Reiwa-era rom-com!

The film, Fire Walk With Me, provided more details about the background, including Laura Palmer’s last days, but left Cooper’s fate horrifyingly up in the air. We weren’t to get answers for another 25 years of real time. Twin Peaks: The Return serves as a farewell to the world of the series and its characters, as David Lynch’s (somewhat unintentional) final work, and a bit of a commentary on how the world (and television) has changed in the last quarter-century.
