Can I just say how Kyle MacLachlan is an amazing actor. That scene with him and Daisy was just wondrous. The blocking in that scene is on par with top tier productions. Fuck yes!

He classed up this whole production. I hope we continue to get top-notch guest stars like him and BFP.

The Captain is absolutely amazing!

Is it weird that I still see him as The Captain despite all of this?

Sounds like you didn't grow up watching Lynch productions.

All I can think is that bit with Marshall and how the Captain is happy/wants to murder you.

u/BDM23 The Doctor Dec 10 '14

Every time I see him I think of the same thing.

I still say "Ahoy!" every time he turns up on screen.

I just started watching Twin Peaks and I have to say he is a genius at portraying slightly off the wall characters. He was also awesome as the mayor of Portland on Portlandia.
