In a ‘happy accident’ (as Mr. Lynch might say), just this Sunday, I happened upon and purchased a used copy of the Twin Peaks Original Soundtrack.
A dabbler in ufology myself, that far-flung instructional-satellite fascinates me. In his (seriously seventies-out) ‘TV series, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage*, Carl Sagan addresses this and other SETI projects with viewpoints that are (despite being water-down for the gen. viewing audience) oddly poetic and ‘timeless’. His writings go further along in this ‘otherworldly’ vein reminding me of most obviously of certain Romantic poets.
In the (“Seasame-Street-esque”) video below, Sagan vainly attempts to simplify extra-dimensionality for ‘average Joes’.

Perhaps it’s not a stunning example of getting to the “real talk” of it, however ‘experiencing’ C. Sagan- or D. Lynch for that matter- often feels like experiencing a cloudy transmission from a being galaxies away from (and light-years ahead of) earth and were I more ‘open’ or ‘part of the whole’, I might just know what the fuck it was on about.
*The thirteen-part series is available on Netflix ‘instant-view’.

What is your take on the climactic Celine Dion-like song that busts the tears out of the audience towards the end of Inland Empire?
