This is one of those things that is absolutely exemplary of Lynch's "dream logic" style. The hospital food is weird, but it's consistent internally in how it's represented. It's sort of this abstract, ultimate representation of the notion that hospital food is awful. If you had a nightmare or weird dream about being in the hospital, this might be how all the food looked. I love it.

Ben trying to be good is the best disposable s2 side-plot in my opinion.

I love the Civil War stuff. I like to think of all of those weirder sideplots (Like Nadine losing her memory) being induced by BOB in some way, just to screw with everyone.

LLCoolJD posted:This weekend, I finished watching the series for the first time. It's a strange and wonderful show, and I tucked into it like Ben Horne tucks into a baguette. A show full of meme-worthy material before internet memes were even a thing. Audrey Horne is a great viewer recruitment tool, but in the end I stayed for the strange David Lynch stuff. Also, Hawk is the man. I think I remember an interview with Sherilyn Fenn where she said this was her favorite scene of the show. Anyway I just finished watching Lost Highway for the first time. It definitely felt like it could have been a continuation of Twin Peaks with a few of the characters, just played by different actors. And some of the same visuals, too. Just with more Rammstein and Marilyn Manson/Twiggy porn.

It's funny because the South's economy collapsed once it had to deal with the consequences of having a morally atrocious cornerstone(slavery) just as Ben's business begins to collapses because of its rotten core (sex-trafficking,gambling ect). BOB is kind of like the collective demon the community has to believe in, or chooses to use in a hosed up symbiotic way, to assure that all their lovely decisions, from the atrocities of rape and incest to the mundane errors (naive, hasty marriages and myopic business decisions). I expect that a big part of the Cooper as BOB story-line would involve Cooper slowly realizing this. He is kind of the least escapist character of the show because he clearly blames nobody but himself for Caroline's death even when he has a psychopath to blame. crowoutofcontext fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Jun 3, 2015 |

This scene is a brilliant piece of character setup because it shows without telling. And what it shows is that Ben Horne is so dismissive of his family that not only does he not eat dinner with them, he eats a different meal with somebody else at the same table. Also I want one of those baguette sandwiches.

...And on Father's Day I revisit possibly one of the most moving TP moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjeCNnbVYAQ A Father's responsibility and relationship to their child is one of the major over-riding themes of Twin Peaks , and we see some very complex and dark relationships explored through Leland and Ben Horne. Briggs and Doc Hayward are always a palette-cleanser, though a massive distant personal gap separates them from their children as well.

So, i'm ploughing through the Blu-rays and i'm on the 3rd last episode now (when i originally watched the show i only made it up to just after they solved the Laura Palmer murder) and is there a reason for why the show seems so much more colourful and bright compared to the earlier episodes? I don't think it's just the Blu-rays but in general the overall filming quality seems to be higher with more contrast involved. Kinda like the difference in colour tones between seasons of Scrubs or something.

I'm gonna have to rewatch TP to see what you're talking about, but if and when I see Frank Byers (the cinematographer) next, I'll ask him.

The scenes at the park/lake are hilariously bright compared to the rest of the series, I think that's just what happens when you try to pass off California as the Pacific Northwest.

Never put my finger on it before, but now I realize why those scenes always came off as a bit off and out of place. Like the scene with Cooper and Annie on the boat. Not Twin Peaksy both visually and emotionally IMO. Was Laura's funeral shot in California? That scene was also oddly bright and sunny IIRC

Would be nice if they could show a retconned "Welcome To Twin Peaks" signboard that has the more realistic population of 5,000 now that they know they don't have to worry about ridiculous network theories that people wouldn't be interested in a show about a small town.

About the look, I believe the pilot and second season were shot on different film stocks than the rest of season 1.

I caught an episode or two of the old Chris Isaak Show in a hotel room MANY years ago, and never got to see any more because I didn't have Showtime at the time (couldn't afford it as a poor student). It's not on DVD and doesn't stream anywhere, which I've always thought is a shame. He still has fans, and the show seemed pretty cool, at least the little I saw back then. I would love to see Chester Desmond's return and rescue in Season 3, though!

So apparently the new show won't air until 2017. Kind of expecting that after learning a few months ago that the deal hadn't even been signed. Plus it should be shot in the winter anyway.

Currently we still don't know for sure and it seems like it could have been a slip of the tongue by Frost. He said they start shooting in September this year and then it premieres in '17, which is a loving gigantic post-production schedule for a TV show.

It was probably a throwaway line in the original series anyway, it didn't have any serious bearing on the plot back then and today it's just a coincidence.

If any of you actually think David Lynch would start the first episode of Season 3 with some dumbass fan service title card saying "25 Years Later..." you haven't seen a David Lynch film. He likes to assume his audiences are much smarter than that.

Pretty much everything in the original series was a throwaway line. I feel like the best way to watch Twin Peaks is in the spirit of Agent Cooper: don't search for a grand design, trust your intuition and note the little things. And every episode give yourself a present.

Of course the 25 years later was a throwaway line but considering the timing of everything it would have been really cool to follow it.
