Its gonna happen again.
Electricity
Electricity, like everything else, behaves eccentrically inTwin Peaks.
Perhaps; Leland significantly starts a ceiling fan before attacking Laura, presumably summoning Bob.
InFWWMs confounding convenience store scene, one of the creepy figures present enunciates e-lec-tric-i-ty!
An electric light may partially illuminate, but its flickering obscures and disorients more than it reveals.
An amplified public address drowns in feedback.
A video camera records a figure that is no longer there.
Intercoms and hearing aids fail repeatedly.
Aesthetically speaking, flickering lights very effectively imbue their scenes with an atmosphere of unease and tension.
and one ofTwin Peaks signature effects was born.
Lynch liked it so much he wound up flickering the light himself.
What does it mean?
Or perhaps its meant to function as a caesura, or rest, does in a piece of music.
The law wont save you; witness its forsaken beacon, quietly failing to push back the dark.
This beingTwin Peaks, can we tease out some more sinister implications from the towns sweets-and-coffee jones?
Or maybe theyre just that delicious.
