Shot Into Smithereens” as he put it in one of his post-Twin Peaks episodes, and we see some of the most interesting aspects of that in the opening five minutes. The “previously on… ” recap comes in fast and furiously, and only then do we see the opening image of the murder at the heart of the show. We know something is up here, we know we’re not going to see what the title says, and we’ve got a head shot of a couple in front of their little family vehicle waiting to cross the road in the background. Then that shot cuts to a closer view of the car, and suddenly in front of the vehicle, there is a giant “X.” We know the shot will be very important later, but I liked the surprise here. This show didn’t come out and tell us that “X” had some significance. The show, unlike “The Missing,” doesn’t care if you know what it means or how important it is. This show just wants you to know that there’s an “X” somewhere, it’s significant, and it will be important later. So far this seems like a “Missing” first draft, where the show gives you hints about the things it will introduce. This shot was interesting because we see how the man with the glasses, who we’re told was driving the car at the beginning, is actually in front of the car. We don’t need to be told that the woman’s got something to do with the car. This shot hints that it’s her. And we’re not even all that surprised by this turn of events, because we’re in a strange mood here, and have been. (And this is important. I’ve never seen the film that has a title of “Something About Mary,” but I do know that I love “Something About Mary.”) Our show goes to some interesting lengths to get us to that opening shot. The camera pans down an apparently bottomless pit, which has to be some sort of sound stage. I’ve worked in a lot of places, and this is the first time I’ve seen a fake cliff like this. But the man we’re watching, whose wife was killed by this car, clearly is very involved with this shot. This seems like some kind of ritual they do in the same way that the man we saw at the beginning was watching, and his rituals include taking his shoes off. While this shot might seem important at the moment, it’s certainly not what you think it is when you see it. As this shot fades in, we get a much more interesting shot, which I’ve seen a thousand times but never really seen in context: a camera zooming into someone’s head, including the lens flare that’s often a nice symbol for getting a closer look at something. Our camera cuts to a blurry, wide shot of the other man in the car, who we just heard. This is the most impressive shot in the episode, but it’s not clear why. The man is not talking, which I’m glad about because I think we’re being manipulated here. The man talks too much. So we cut to the man again, this time with a focus on his face and on his voice. Is this man a victim of violence? Or is this man making a call? We do a couple of shots of this man looking at the man, and we clearly see that he’s doing this to someone else. But who is it, and what is he doing? My guess is that this is our killer at some point. But it doesn’t sound like he’s saying anything here. Is he saying “Hi?” “What’s up?” “Who’s there?” “Where?” “Where’s here?” “This guy.” “Did you hear? “”This is bullshit. “”“Butterscotch?” “This is not that.” A few more shots later, and we get a full close up of the man. Is this the man from the shot that followed the shot we saw earlier? Or is this the man from the opening shots? Because this is our third time seeing the man, and it’s pretty clear to me that this is the first time. We cut to another one of those shots of an “X” over a doorway, and it seems that we’re not being told these details. The show is just trying to plant clues, or to tell us that this “X” is going to be important in some way. But we cut to another man, who we also know about. And he doesn’t sound like he’s talking. Is he saying “Hello? Are you there?“”This is bullshit, but who are you? “”“Butterscotch? “”No, this is not that. “”“Can I talk to John? “”So he doesn’t say anything? “”“He was here.” “”Okay. “” This shot of the man is interesting, because we see that it’s close up on his nose, and I’ve never seen the man’s nose before. That’s not to say that it doesn’t matter. It definitely does, and it’s very important here. It’s one of those things that a lot of people don’t realize, but that’s not okay for me to call out. It’s something you need to understand if you watch the show. So the man’s nose doesn’t matter at all? Okay, I didn’t know that. Well, I still didn’t know. I’m gonna have to look into this, because I really don’t know this thing. So the man with the camera is close up on his nose, and he’s the one talking to the other man. So that’s one thing that the man with the camera is doing, but we also see a close up of his camera. The man’s camera. The man we heard at the beginning, but didn’t see because he was behind that giant “X.” And in this close-up shot, the camera is getting really close, really close. At one point, I thought I was seeing one of those tiny lens flares, but this is real. This is a real lens flare that’s somehow attached to a person, or maybe it’s just attached to the scene? Because the closer the lens flare gets, the more the man we just heard becomes focused in, as if he’s getting into the shot. Then we cut to a full view of the man in the doorway, and his camera. The other guy has a camera too, and it’s looking like his lens flare will be showing up there. So there are two men in close-up, one with a camera, one with an X in front of him. Then we cut to the last man in this exchange, who doesn’t seem to be talking to anyone at all. He’s just standing there. Then the scene fades out, and we hear this man from the last shot. He’s talking, and it looks like this was a phone call, but you can tell that he’s saying more than words in some way. He has something in his hand, but it looks like he has no hands. They’re cut off. So this man at the beginning was watching, and this man at the beginning, the man that got killed by the car, he’s the guy doing this to this other man in the doorway. At least in this scene, if not by extension. And I’m not sure if this is the same man that got shot or not. And who knows what the other man is saying. He probably says “Hi.” “Butterscotch? “I don’t know, and I don’t care. I’m gonna get killed by this guy. ““What? ““This guy.“ If you want to watch the entire episode of TWIN PEAKS, and you want to catch up on what it’s about, then be my guest. If you want to see how “The Missing” has come back to impact the entire world, then you might be a little disappointed. The show we see is the same one we know from last year, the man, the woman, and the dog, and the missing people from the second season, who have somehow returned. And it looks like everyone has an X on them, except for our man with the camera. I guess it’s the X right before his lens flare. In the end, I’m trying to figure out where that missing part of the man’s body is. This seems like some kind of ritual that involves a camera and a missing part of our man’s body. And now that we’ve shown the man’s body, are we going to see his missing part in the upcoming episodes? Or is this a man with a missing body? Maybe it’s a woman with a missing body. But I’m really at a loss here, especially when this show’s writer says that he was inspired by “The Missing” as he worked on this. I need to take some time to research this a little more, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen this from the show “The Missing.” It’s obviously a scene from a movie, and it feels like it might have been shot as part of a special feature on one of those DVD’s for “The Missing,” but I really
