The more I think about this episode, I realize that I liked pretty much everything...
... except the pervasive evidence that Twin Peaks is being reduced to Good-vs-Evil. Everybody on this thread saying "it's too early to judge if it's going that way" are behaving like Star Wars Prequel apologists... you KNOW what you're looking at. Stop trying to wiggle around it.
The Frost Giant has turned into a Palmer Orb of Golden Goodness!
Sigh.
I don't know that is that. I think it's making that whole sequence a little too literal. It might not seem like there's a difference, but I think it's more Goodness V Badness being unleashed into the world, or rather a specific type of evil. There's a direct lineage from the atomic bomb to the evil that men do, which is Bob manifest.
I took the image of him being 'born' as riding a wave of Garmanbozia, which as we know is pain and suffering. It's a difficult distinction to make, but it doesn't read to me like a white hat/black hat situation.
