Twin Peaks: The Essentials
Triangulated against outside sourcesHow paths are chosen
Season one and the Laura Palmer mystery run intact through 'Arbitrary Law'. What comes out is the stretch after it - the James and Evelyn Marsh detour above all - which Lynch himself disowned. Two things stay against the popular advice: 'Masked Ball', frequently called the worst episode and actually where the Black Lodge gets explained, and the Windom Earle run, without which the finale makes no sense. The Return is untouched.
