    So to answer your question, YES, it IS as good. But it's WAY more about mysteries than giving answers.

    Ultimately, it's canon. It's written by Mark and features Twin Peaks throughout. And it's also in universe: it's another document from within the twin peaks world.

    You personally @henryeatscereal ? You will fucking LOVE it I think, just as I did. And you MIGHT like it better, just because it's much longer!
    @henryeatscereal - my favorite part of those books, even though it bothers some folks, is that they are somewhat inconsistent with the timeline, ages of characters, etc. And I love that because it makes it feel like more of a human document than anything else. That's my two cents with it. I adore both of those books because of the doors they opened since I was getting into Twin Peaks for the first time last year. I couldn't put down the Final Dossier when it arrived in the mail.

    Also the inconsistencies make a ton of sense knowing what we know ("know") now

    Ok, i'll check it out! thanks! @elevenism @ltrandazzo

    I did noticed inconsistencies while reading TFD, but they didn't bother me; it's not like they don't make any sense, actually if you "adjust" the dates and continuity they fit perfectly.

    So weird that Audrey "woke up" from that coma, that means she's in a mental institution or something? i thought she was asleep during "The return".

    Well, and also, think about the whole butterfly effect aspect, what with Laura not dying. It will make your brain hurt, but it explains any inconsistencies.

    Lolol @henryeatscereal . But seriously, Laura not dying changes the entire history, right? Via butterfly effect.

    And, aside from that, it's Lynch. We're talking about a dude who made a movie where one dude just inexplicably turns into another dude.

    Been holding off on picking up The Return's soundtrack on vinyl in hopes I would find a good deal on the green variant to go along with the other 2. Finally got it as well as The Return on blu-ray.

    I got my girlfriend watching Twin Peaks for the first time. We're about 12 Episodes away. God, I can't wait to see her reaction:

    Mondo has a gallery showing for a series of prints Greg Ruth is doing for Twin Peaks and they are incredible. He's doing several total series so this is just a sampling of what he's doing long term. I'm struggling to figure out which ones I want to try for - https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/tw...at-3-41-11-pm/

    I've seen these and they are beautiful. Are they only being sold at the gallery in Texas or they being sold online? They're probably way out of my price range anyway, but I'm curious.

    Gallery first with leftovers online afterward. Get your wallet ready.

    Managed to snag one of these from Mondo last week. Limited to 300. Can't wait to hang this baby up.

    The moment where Alicia Witt and Caleb Landry Jones' characters are sitting at the base of a tree, after what I think is the murder of Seyfried's character, has really stuck out in my memory as of late. There's a raw element to it that feels even out of Lynch's playhouse for me because it lacks the kind of histrionics the show is known for. It's not spelled out, but you do get a feeling for what exactly is going on and is tragic to watch. I remember it really coming out of left-field for me as much as the more obvious left-field moments.

    Oh my god yeah, that scene was so crazy and uncomfortable and intense.

    It's also pretty bleak to watch that scene and know that that is Donna's younger sister, the same girl from that unbelievable scene in the first episode of season 2 where she plays the piano while Leyland sings "Get Happy" faster and faster. In general I feel like there's this dark cloud of aging and mortality and the passage of time that hangs over everything in Season 3, making all of it feel pretty melancholy throughout. Even the more positive returns have this twinge of sadness to them. And certain characters in particular were pretty heartbreaking to see, like Audrey and of course the log lady. And yet there was something about seeing Donna's younger sister in the woods with this fucking maniac that was in some ways more upsetting than any of them. Like, here's that nice kid from season two 25 years later, and this is where her fucking life has brought her. Shit's dark.

    Also, I don't think that he actually killed Becky, I think he was just out of his mind thought he had. I heard that in the Final Dossier Frost explains more about what happens with Becky after the events of S3.

    FUCK.

    RIP Norma. Glad she was one of the only characters who got a happy ending with that last season. Also I had no idea Rashida Jones was her daughter. She looked fucking AMAZING for 72, as well. Legit thought she was in her 50s.

    put this on on saturday while my wife and i were cleaning our apartment. i vacuumed a little bit during one song and when i stopped, we realized "just you" was playing. my wife went "uh...maybe you should turn the vacuum back on. maybe vacuum the whole apartment? seems like a good time for it!" couldn't stop laughing. she fucking hates that song so much hahahahaha

    anyway, otherwise, it's a fantastic collection of music that was definitely missing from any of the other vinyl releases, and i'm glad to have it. just...god i hate that cover art.

    There was another source for this rumor: I don't think this article is the OG, if I'm not mistaken. There was a tweet that was a bit more vague, from Hollywood Horror Museum or some shit? I watched a couple YouTube videos about it. It said something like "someone who is in the know let something slip about the future of twin peaks, and we're all gonna be squealing in 2020 ."

    This article is definitely bullshit, I think, because it's pretty much impossible to shoot, or even cast, a tv show, without anyone finding out.

    BUT, let's pretend that there IS something to it ( the tweet, I mean.) It could be a couple of things. For one, Lynch and co. could have easily shot a couple more hours when they did The Return, to be released as a movie. Hell, they could have shit enough for a trilogy. A boy can dream.
    OR, perhaps they're aiming to release the deleted scenes as a movie (Edit: like FWWM's The Missing Pieces.) One YouTuber speculated that that was the case.

    So, it's PROBABLY all bullshit, but I guess it's possible that SOMETHING could be in the works, thAt was filmed previously.
    OR, it could be regarding an upcoming announcement?

    But, yeah. It's likely nothing.

    I gotta say, though: I want to believe. And it IS a little exciting if both of these things came from different sources.

    look, i love twin peaks. i have an owl symbol tattoo. but i don't want any more.

    the way season 3 ended was a perfect conclusion to the series. so many of the integral members of the cast have died. and if david lynch isn't actually involved, i would have zero interest if they made more.

    but really, i don't think there should be more. i really don't.

    I mean I'd be down for another go. The biggest tell where that article got greedy was when it claimed that it would air in 2020, even though it's still in the preproduction planning phase.

    I would have been more inclined to think this way before S3 came out, because it had just been so long since the original series. Reviving the show just seemed like a questionable idea when I first started hearing about it. But honestly, The Return just blew my mind completely, so I have faith in Lunch and Frost. The dudes have still got it.

    And anyway, you might think you don't want anymore Twin Peaks, but how would you know for sure until it actually came along?

    I feel like the ending of S3 was designed to be relatively conclusive in the event that this was the last season they ever made, but also somewhat open-ended so that they could continue on if they had the chance. There's something intriguing to me about exploring that strange alternative reality that Coop seems to have slipped into at the end. A lot of people think it's a dream, but that theory doesn't quite hold up to me. I don't really know what's going on at the end of the season, but it's cool, and I wouldn't mind seeing where else they could take us.

    Lynch has a pretty strong sense of artistic integrity. I don't think he would make something unless he had solid ideas that he thought were truly worthwhile.
