Following the bleak, if sometimes comical Pilot, this episode is very lighthearted. It definitely has its fair share of dark moments (including the first appearance of BOB), but a majority of this episode is funny, amusing, entertaining, and engaging. There's plenty of memorable, iconic, and essential scenes without, including the classic "damn fine coffee" sequence that is immediately followed by the extremely sensual first meeting between Audrey Horne and Agent Dale Cooper (two characters who most fans agree to be the best and most enjoyable on the show) as well as an absurd encounter with the log lady and a brief, hilarious moment in which Pete reveals some...unflattering information about his percolator.
