Twin Peaks Chatter: 5 Moments Fans Flipped Over
Episode 5 of the revival gave us a terrifying Dirty Cooper–BOB face mashup. Plus, fans loved Norma and Shelly, Dr. Amp, and Amanda Seyfried as Becky, but Steven and Richard also scared viewers.

Incarcerated Dirty Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) looks into the mirror and flashes back to the BOB’s original hostile takeover, then in a disturbing face-possession mash-up acknowledges that BOB is still with him. Shudder.

Meanwhile, dopplegänger Dougie continues shuffling through life — going to work, drinking coffee, making enemies.

Two of the most glamorous diner waitresses alive — Shelly (Mädchen Amick) and Norma (Peggy Lipton) — stirred up some fan love.

3. Amanda Seyfried
Vocal viewers on social media are invested in new addition Amanda Seyfried (Les Misérables) as Shelly’s daughter, Becky, but hugely skeptical about her husband Steven — maybe remembering actor Caleb Landry Jones from Get Out and thinking, Run, girl! Run!

4. Dr. Amp’s Shovel
Dr. Lawrence Jacoby’s (Russ Tamblyn) animated alter ego, Dr. Amp, pumped up more than a few people, who were eager to buy what he was selling.

5. The Bang Bang Bar Scene
Eamon Farren’s violent Richard Horne in The Bang Bang Bar unsettled some — what others might call a mission accomplished.

Still, everyone seemed to universally like the bar’s musical lineup.

One Final Thought
Of all the hideous behavior in Twin Peaks past and present, Doris is the worst. (Congrats, Candy Clark, on doing too good a job portraying a truly awful person.)
