'Shortly afterwards Hastings’ head implodes with fatal consequences.'

You don't say.

'The apparent absurdity of life, and how it could reverberate in art, is a shared fascination for both Lynch and Kafka.'

'Season Three is haunted by figures present and absent; actors living, dead, and dying; plot lines continuing and dropped. The show is never free of that tension, between a desire to return to the past and the inevitable passage of time.'

'The question is no longer about returning home; Twin Peaks has changed what home is.'

'The Return is an exercise in bringing reality to the fore, and pushing the human to the back, resulting in a flattened plane wherein an FBI agent, a murdered prom queen, a gardening glove, a ring, a drawer table knob, a husband, a doppelgänger , a severed human arm, a cherry pie , and a coffee cup all act as equally vital players in a rich network of narrative incident.'

'Of course, ‘understanding’ is a dangerous term to use when discussing Lynch ...'

'The Return is arguably the most sublime and ridiculous installment in a series full of such moments.'

‘This is the water and this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.’

... the challenge remains what Lynch warned that it was on the eve of the debut of The Return: ‘Keep your eye on the donut,’ he wisely advised, ‘not on the hole.’

'The town of Twin Peaks is an ideal site for alien abductions...'

Wow, cannot believe 21 May was the 3rd anniversary of this utterly brilliant and bonkers tv show. BMD is hosting a rewatch called Twin Peaks The Return: The Return.
