while watching season two of twin peaks with friends, there is a stretch of episodes that just do not matter. for most of these episodes, there was partial or extremely meager attendance, and so i set out to take notes to fill in anyone who wasn't able or willing to watch several hours of what is essentially Invitation To Love.
if you have already watched twin peaks, maybe you will find some entertainment within this, and if you have not watched twin peaks, i recommend watching all episodes except for these ones. that's why i took notes.

oh yeah, spoilers. click to actually display the notes
