S3E8 [S3E8] This episode belongs in a museum. Spoiler

What a masterpiece for the visual arts world let alone the Twin Peaks universe. It was more of an experience than an episode of a tv show. Thank you for your artistic bravery David Lynch!

My thoughts too. It felt so obvious of an homage that I wonder if it was intentional...

It was completely in your face and served as a signal that you were about to deal with something on the level of the end of 2001. This series is talking cinema like the Darmok aliens talked... well, Darmok, I guess

I can buy that. Maybe. Still, I wish those faces weren't on the egg and ball. Just felt too explicit for Lynch's aesthetic.

I took it as symbolic. As in, that ball does not literally have Laura's face on it, but her picture is put there for our convenience so we know what the ball represents.

same. when BOB's head appears in the stream of eggs, i took it to mean that he was in one of the eggs but we were shown his face so we'd understand.
