S1, E2: Traces to Nowhere

Back to the Double R: A Twin Peaks Rewatch

You’re back! And so are we. This week, Episode 2, “Traces to Nowhere,” which aired 4/12/90. Reminder: No spoilers, but this episode is fair game. Watch before listening!

Herein: Colin on the imagery of surfaces and what lies beneath; Damon asks what makes the show “Lynchian”; Jonathan on Doc Hayward; and Jennifer with Laura's ghostly voice. Twist: The show’s obsession with food and damn fine coffee!
