Did anyone watch episode 5 of Twin Peaks? Does it get better?

I saw 1-4, and by the end I was losing my patience. Get out of South Dakota already! !! Wondering if I should pay to stream it. Thanks

1. If you're familiar with David Lynch...

you know it doesn't get any better than this!

Surreal and ambiguous, hallucinatory dream-states and unbelievably quirky characters - including the actual actors and musicians, contributors and associates.

As an "artistic vision," I believe you just let it wash over you, and draw your own conclusions, interpret your own "reality." There ARE things that happen, revelations, events in a semblance of a traditional timeline and story.

If you need more, Ep. 5 doesn't really help.

2. I get David lynch, but the series Twin Peaks

Was about Twin Peaks and it's quirky characters. Very little of that. Which is what I was hoping for.

4. This is "Twin Peaks: The Return."

Maybe we are all 'going back?'

Ep. 5 does have a LOT of characters from the original, but new characters, too, and probably a new storyline like 'Laura Palmer' is developing, since we know THAT is a recurring event in the "Twin Peaks" universe.

3. episode 5 was my favorite so far

but, i would say, if you weren't hooked by ep 4, you probably. might not enjoy it.

6. Lynch tapped into my recurring dream!

If I could get my wife to watch that episode, maybe she'll let me go one more time!

7. You have to have patience

There is a narrative, but Lynch is taking his time with it. Though it doesn't seem like it, the story is moving forward, as Coop is essentially (and in some respects, quite literally) reborn.

With Lynch, you just have to sit back and enjoy the bizarre ride. I think the first few episodes were about shattering any expectations people might have based on the first two seasons, and opening the story up.

Once I let go of what I thought it should be I began to really enjoy it.

8. Are you talking about the original series or 2017's "The Return" to the pacific northwest?

Not that it matters. In both if you are not sold by episode 4, another will not change your mind. I was hooked from day one back in 1990 and have the same feeling for the return. Lynch has changed, so his vision has too, but both offer me the same vision through his strange but interesting filter of life. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Its not like there is much better on. Maybe binge watch the new season of the Underhills in the Whitehouse, but other than that ... Its that slow period waiting for one of the series you love to return.
