No Knock, No Doorbell
David Lynch & Mark Frost
Snoqualmie WA 2017
As luck and Lynch would have it, the most spectacular sections of last Sunday’s part 16 of the Return were the opening and closing ones. The images here are culled from the opening, Richard Horne’s electrocution on top of a great rock in a trap set for his father, Mr C. In response this doppelganger of the story’s hero, Dale Cooper (who, later in part 16, finally comes fully awake from his half woken state after twenty five years confinement in the Lodge,) simply says Oh and Goodbye my son, thus confirming his long suspected full parentage. The actor playing this youthful son, Eamon Farren, bears a striking resemblance to the young Kyle MacLachlan, which only partially explains his casting, the other explanation being his fine work previously for Lynch’s daughter, Jennifer, in her film Chained (opposite the very gifted Vincent D’Onofrio.) I have so far seen it noted by only one other than myself that Richard disappears, as he is being electrocuted by this celestial blast, gradually from the feet to the head, much like the Woodsman in the Buckhorn SD lockup in part 2, which suggests that he may have been transformed through his electrical burning into yet another of these blackened guardians of the Black Lodge.
