It's a wonderful, wonderful day when the internet is unanimous in The Nine Inch Nails being the most coherent thing about last night's episode..

I think it was only logical to have The Nine Inch Nails perform before the chaos that followed in this episode.
Why do people love spoiler tags so much? I can't even read the text on my phone without directly replying to the post.
Anyway, Joey's not in the band, he confirmed it on Instagram. He said he did it just for the episode. Maybe Ilan was busy. Maybe Trent pulled an Adrian Belew again and realized he needed the established member again.
I bet Christmas sucks at your house. Under the tree sits a bunch of boxes clearly for electronics, video games, toys, socks, and candy. While your children solemnly grab a pack of Hanes, you shout "Wrapping paper is a stupid fad! I have to pull a bunch of cheap paper off of my presents to see what they are?? That's bullshit!" while your wife and children weep, clutching their unwrapped 1lb milk chocolate Santa boxes before bolting off to their bedrooms and slamming their fully translucent doors behind them.
...that's why spoiler tags.

Is this in episode 8? Can't wait to watch it tomorrow before work then. Only decided to watch TP because NIN were going to be in it. Loving it so far!
Afterwards, we were making wild theories about how this episode came to be so fucked up and bizarre - and I had this vision of Lynch pitching his plans to the co-writers/network executives, saying [imagine Lynchs best boyscout timbre:] "I would really like to be in charge of this one specific episode. All I need is Kyle MacLachlan for one night. I propse this: Mr. Reznor of THE Nine Inch Nails owes me a favor for this video I once shot in his man cave - so if I get him to perform for free on our program, would you agree to let me to use the rest of this episode to explore some of the more mythological aspects of Twin Peaks?"
"Sure David, we don't see what could be the harm in that...."

Given we're still not even halfway through the season, does anyone thing we might get a second performance at some point later on?
Great look...
Also Stallone on "Cobra" is spot on, lol...
I was watching that episode and tbh I was NOT EXPECTING THIS ONE BE THE ONE and I nearly CHOKED TO DEATH ON MY WATER when the song started... I was legit shooketh. amazing episode overall as well.
So the week I decide to cancel my Showtime account and just catch up on Twin Peaks later....we get a full on Lynch-crazy episode with The Nine Inch Nails to boot. FML
Every time they tour, I hope it's a club tour. The Wave Goodbye shows kind of guaranteed that. As much as I love the high production spectacle of tours like Lights In The Sky and Tension, the intimacy of club venues and the low-key production making way for much more organic and surprising setlists (both in structure and content) makes them my preferred choice for a NIN show. Not to mention that the sound quality at the clubs that I've been too has been notably superior too. The one downside of club NIN shows (and it's a major one) is that the low occupancy means getting tickets is as nightmarish and stressful as possible.
Regarding the actual thread topic, Trent should be flattered that "the" Nine Inch Nails were included in the most brilliantly insane episode that the Showtime revival has produced thus far. And right in the middle of the episode, not relegated to the closing credits like most of the musical guests. I loved it and the whole goth biker look the band went with, felt very appropriate for the series. Actual performance audio is the only thing that would have made it better but I guess we'll be getting some of that soon enough.
Like others have suggested, I'm basically going to think of this as the official She's Gone Away music video. Especially since, even as a fairly traditional performance video, it utterly blows away Lynch's other recent (and in my opinion embarassingly vapid) collaboration with Trent, Came Back Haunted. God that was disappointing.
