    Wonder if episodes 3 & 4 will be edited together tonight like episodes 1 & 2 or if they'll be separate.

    but this article makes it confusing... http://www.factmag.com/2017/05/22/tw...s-coming-soon/

    Twin Peaks (Music From the Limited Event Series) and Twin Peaks (Limited Event Series Original Soundtrack) are out on September 8 on CD and 2XLP from Rhino.
    so like...is one record going to be the songs from the roadhouse, and the other will be score? or is there a second release that hasn't gone up for pre-order yet?

    I am taking this in small doses (like e.g. with Black Mirror), and I did not expect Naomi Watts (like her very much, mostly thanks to Stay (2005) which I love) or Richard Chamberlain to appear, good. (googling) Hmm, that Mulholland Drive thing keeps popping out everywhere for me, gotta check it out finally. And no, this is not my first encounter with Lynch, it's just... I don't know... maybe my brain chooses to rather forget about unxplainable stuff? :-)

    3 episodes in, had enough now. I can see why it would appeal to fans of Lynch's filmography, it has all the hallmarks of an Eraserhead, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive etc. But as someone who doesn't like narratives less grippable than a frictionless hagfish, there's no appeal.

    Twin Peaks worked because it used Lynch's weirdness and audio/visual expertise as flavour. This settled in around interesting characters, charismatic performances, fun dialogue, palpable emotion and a story you can connect with. Absolutely none of those things are present in The Return, and it's made particularly hard to watch by having most sequences take 2-10x longer than they need to. There's about 25 minutes of material in the hour-long third episode. Taking more time is fine if there's something spectacular you're filling the frame with, but for all his skill and vision, Lynch has never been a Terrence Malick. I'm sure there's a point lurking somewhere in these 18 hours, but for me, life's too goddamn short.

    This was definitely the weirdest episode yet in the series, which will only get weirder, I'm sure..
    I'm expecting a lot of avant garde surrealism, but I also think that a narrative will emerge. I expect the story to make more sense than Inland Empire; episode four seems to be heading in the direction of a cohesive storyline.
    I am expecting the best of both worlds here. as much as I utterly adore pure Lynchian surrealism, I would love to see a story take shape. And it won't take MUCH story to utterly thrill me.

    What I did was take the FWWM etc. tracks from the Twin Peaks Archive as listed on the soundtrack design site and spliced them together to form a near-complete FWWM playlist (having also recently found a copy of Season Two Music And More off Amazon for a reasonable price, with which I'll be able to complete it). The FWWM tracks from the Archive stand in a separate league of their own, it's true. When you listen to them together like that, you can really hear a precursor to his Lost Highway tracks.

    Having not seen Episodes 3 and 4 yet (tonight hopefully!) I'm doing that thing I shouldn't be doing - visiting this thread and scrolling over posts that talk about them.

    Stripped down live performance: Trent behind a bunch of synths and maybe on backing vocals, Mariqueen on lead vocals and Robin making sound with a guitar.
    Alternately: Trent as Johnny Horne, Mariqueen as the personification of the Log Lady's Log and Robin as Bob's son.

    It only makes sense that after 25 straight years of living in some fucked up form of a salvia trip but stranger that Cooper would have to go through some Eraserhead-level shit to escape.

    I feel like if you've seen the first four episodes it becomes pretty clear that it's moving closer and closer to "classic" Twin Peaks territory but in a more modern way, but it has to earn that -- to end like the show originally did and then pick back up in the cherry pie-loving quirky soapy realm of TP would feel dismissive of everything that happened and like it was brushing off some major stuff just to cater to nostalgia.

    The conflict going on at the moment also seems simpler than it's coming across as -- Spoiler: FakeCoop created Dougie in order to avoid getting sucked up into the Black Lodge when Cooper came back. FakeCoop held his garmonbozia in long enough that Dougie took his place and the man with one arm then warns RealCoop that he's been tricked, now taking the place of Dougie rather than his doppelganger (he was supposed to come through the cigarette lighter in FakeCoop's car, but didn't, so he instead went through the electrical outlet, and electricity seems to always have some sort of sinister supernatural connotation in the TP world).

    Because of this, either FakeCoop or RealCoop will have to die in order for them to not be purged into non-existence (or "non-EXISTENCE," as the evolution of the arm would say).

    FakeCoop is attempting to fully take on the identity of RealCoop so that RealCoop won't have the aid of the FBI at his disposal, but Gordon Cole clearly knows that something is up, and once RealCoop overcomes his Mr. Jackpots persona and escapes Dougie's hollow reality, he'll be able to come back as the Special Agent Dale Cooper we all know and love and begin the battle against FakeCoop, likely colliding someplace in Twin Peaks where the story lines will then merge and become more like the original series again.


    At least, that's my take on it, and since it's David Lynch who the fuck knows -- maybe all of that will never happen and the next episode will be nothing but the animated adventures of the Log & Friends while Michael Cera reenacts the entire plot of A Streetcar Named Desire. Who the fuck knows? All I know is I'm loving it and I'm going with it, all the way.

    I would be content never having to see Michael Cera show up in this series ever again, he's been the only aspect i haven't liked so far.

    Just seeing him do that Brando shtick was so cringe-worthy. Can't fucking stand the guy in anything I've seen him in.

    Here's a little continuity error: Cooper isn't wearing the same tie he's wearing in the finale. But he wears black in FWWM.

    I'm gonna headcannon it as him having lost it during some terrifying and confusing encounter with one of the Black Lodge spirits and the statue that's sometimes in the room between rooms and sometimes isn't gave him a new one because why not, it'd make about as much sense as anything else there.

    FBI agent Tamara Preston, who shows up at the end, is the "T.P." person who narrates Frost's Secret History of Twin Peaks..

    don't forget that Teresa Banks' arm also went numb just before she died, while she was in possession of the ring.

    @kleiner352 that particular statue is ONLY in the first passageway (as opposed to the one that is sometimes near the chairs), which is the one that leads into/out of the black lodge. hence the importance of cooper seeing it.

    Spoiler:
    A subtle touch I really like is DoppelCoop's loss of coherency or stability following his garmonbozia pukefest and Coop's return to the real world. During his conversation with Gordon, his ability to communicate was diminished compared with his earlier conversations. Repetition of phrases, extremely direct, dialogue extraordinarily artificial, like he was directly reading from a script in his head. It's probably just going to get creepier.

    Seeing Don Davis really caught me off guard in E3. Bless Lynch, that was a wonderful way to get a cameo in there. I have no doubt we'll see Frank Silva's Bob in some way shape or form eventually.

    They could definitely very easily use archived footage of Frank Silva and play it off in a way that fits, it'll be interesting to see if Lynch will have done that.

    It's not the same character.

    That's where my mind went, to be honest. I couldn't tell you why, but she just reminded me of Josie a lot.

    I'd imagine Josie's still haunting the Great Northern. Lynch had plans to clarify what exactly the deal with her being in the drawer pull knob was; she was trapped between the black lodge and the real world. There were scenes filmed for the series finale using a body double for Chen but the footage has been lost. Good account here.

    The name given to the character in the credits is 'Naido'. I was actually wondering for a moment if it could have been Judy, the character Philip Jeffries mentioned as not up for discussion, and who was apparently intended to be Josie's sister according to the FWWM script.

    Location spoiler for upcoming EP 5:

    Spoiler: On that topic, Judy could still figure into the show very soon...Buenos Aires, where we saw Jeffries, is a location in the next ep, according to discussion over the fact that it was temporarily up in Germany before being pulled. Maybe BA is "where she drinks".

    And may I say I love the fact that Lynch did not capitulate to the stereotype of sleazy greedy casino owners? I was ready to watch them take advantage of poor Coop, but they made sure he left with his winnings. The owner clearly wasn't happy, but...that was really sweet

    People are thinking the woman mentioned is either Diane or Audrey.

    It seems way too coincidental that one of the first individuals Cooper meets after leaving the lodge is a woman who is essentially Ronette aged in the same way the Laura Palmer apparition had. But then, there are people also surmising that the eyeless woman was a manifestation of Josie Packard.

    The great thing about David Lynch is that we're probably neither right nor wrong here
    I think it's the "When you see me again it won't be me" - we've seen a couple of other characters that fit this too (Laura may not be Laura, The Giant is ?????????, the various Coops)







    I've been having some thoughts about Betty. She's Hastings's secretary who he mentions in his interview. She's known by EvilCoop's gang. Betty is also the name of Major Briggs's wife who conveniently tells everyone about TrueCoop being the last person to see Briggs. We've seen Briggs's disembodied head linked to the paranormal (Blue Rose) and it could be his beheaded body that was discovered by the police. This might all be connected or I might be pissing into the wind.

    So how exactly does Dougie exist? How did CooperBob "manufacture" him? I hope we find out.

    To my knowledge everyone only has one shadow self/doppelganger in the world of Twin Peaks.
