I am a huge Twin Peaks fan but had never watched Wild at Heart before, so thank you for this. The moment the heavy metal music started in the first scene I was like, okay, Lynch, I am on board with whatever this is. Also, when Alex describes Crispin Glover's brief scenes as "injecting a dose of pure Crispin Glover into your neck," I had a flashback to Fast Sofa. I consider it my first dose of pure Glover and even though I only saw the last half of that movie his performance is pretty much seared into my brain.

I may be missing something, but can we get a "next time on" section of the description on these posts? This was the first place I went to look for which Twin Peaks episodes were in the next watchcast, and they aren't on this page as far as I can tell. Again... could be me missing something. But thought I would mention it.
