Never titled. That's sad, 'coz you have to talk 'bout scenes in "Episode X,
Season Y". 
Item, here in Europe, (at least the german speaking part), we had the plea-
sure to get entitled episodes. They were as follows:

 0. (1000)  Pilotfilm
 1. (1001)  Spuren ins Nichts	  	 (Traces to nowhere)
 2. (1002)  ZEN - oder die Kunst,
	    einen Moerder zu fassen 	 (ZEN - or the skill to catch a killer)
 3. (1003)  Ruhe in Unfrieden		 (Rest in pain)
 4. (1004)  Der Einarmige		 (The one-armed man)
 5. (1005)  Cooper's Traeume	  	 (Coopers dreams)
 6. (1006)  Zeit des Erkennens	  	 (Realisation time)
 7. (1007)  Der letzte Abend	  	 (The last evening)
 8. (2001)  Der Riese sei mit Dir	 (May the giant be with you)
 9. (2002)  Koma			 (Coma)
10. (2003)  Der Mann hinter Glas	 (The man behind glass)
11. (2004)  Laura's geheimes Tagebuch 	 (Lauras secret diary)
12. (2005)  Der Fluch der Orchideen	 (The orchids curse)
13. (2006)  Daemonen		  	 (Demons)
14. (2007)  Einsame Seelen	  	 (Lonely souls)
15. (2008)  Spazierfahrt mit einer Toten (Drive with a dead girl)
16. (2009)  Selbstjustiz		 (Arbitrary law)
17. (2010)  Bruderzwist			 (Dispute between brothers)
18. (2011)  Maskenball			 (Masked ball)
19. (2012)  Die schwarze Witwe		 (The black widow)
20. (2013)  Schachmatt			 (Checkmate)
21. (2014)  Doppelspiel			 (Doubleplay)
22. (2015)  Sklaven und Meister		 (Slaves and masters)
23. (2016)  Die Verdammte		 (The condemned woman)
24. (2017)  Wunden und Narben		 (Wounds & scars)
25. (2018)  Auf den Schwingen der Liebe  (On the wings of love)
26. (2019)  Beziehungsvariationen	 (Variations on relations)
27. (2020)  Der Weg zur schwarzen Huette (The path to the black lodge)
28. (2021)  Jenseits von Leben und Tod	 (Beyond life and death)
 
Pretty nice, isn't it? How do you like that?
 
BTW, there are some allusions to familiar german quotations (like "Ruhe in 
Frieden", "das letzte Abendmahl", "Lynch-Justiz" :-), "Der Friede sei mit Dir"
etc.), but I can associate the matching episode fairly well. 
E.g. "Wounds and scars" reminds me of Harry S. Truman finding solace in a
bottle of Jack Daniels, suffering over the loss of the "Verdammte" Josie.
Or "Demons", one of my favourite episodes, where MIKE speaks through Gerard
in his demonic voice and sentences. "Einsame Seelen" of course, shows the
words left behind on Harolds hung body: "J'ai une ame solitaire"...
 
 
The other day, someone asked if there exists a Twin Peaks Fan Club. 
I'd be interested in this, too! Especially in an european TPFC. 
I'm sure there are some, as well as overseas or down under, so give a yell!
 
Last friday, they finally started to show "Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me"
here (Switzerland). Of course I had to sit in this cinema at the very first 
performance. English spoken, of course. And I was not disappointed!
It might be confusing for Not-"Peakies", though. And I think, the
killing-scenes went through cutting a bit. But, man, Lynch-Specials are
the reason to watch this movie. Gotta see this one again, that's 4 sure!
Even here they had to add a german title, by the way: "Twin Peaks - FZMM,
Die letzten 7 Tage im Leben der Laura Palmer"...

P.S.: Check out the Album "State of Euphoria" of the metalheads "Anthrax".
	The song "Now it's dark" is about Lynchs "Blue Velvet"!!! 

Let's rock! 		 Robert Michl
