The English language lessons seem to be an excuse to be close to her.
Hersass and sharpness are reminiscent of old movies, revealing Lynchs distinctively noirish sensibilities.

Plus, his Confederate cosplay is funny enough to make theunderratedTwin Peaksseason 2more palatable for critics.
There are layers to how high on the list he is.
First and foremost is his simple cruelty toward Shelly.
This is represented in the show with unrelenting starkness and also makes himthe ultimate red herring.
More layers are added after Leo has been shot.
Shelly and Bobby find a way to exploit Leos brain injury, like Windom Earle does later.
This complicates Leos villainy because it adds an element of sympathy to this abusive criminal.
It’s cold, and hard, and brilliant.

Ray Wise does an incredible job of playing the two sides of Leland.

This is emphasized by his black eyes.
The Returns Mr. C embodies the darker, more selfish side of humanity.
The backstory of the casting ofFrank Silva, who was originally aTwin Peaksset decorator, is fascinating.
The fact that one of the scariest villains inTwin Peakswas an accident adds to Lynch’s magic.
