That is a fun idea! My schedule and timezone is lovely but I'd for sure watch whenever I was around plus it'd make the terrible season two episodes more fun

I haven't finished it yet, but if you like the concept definitely check out the books House of Leaves and S. for something similar.

Finished the book yesterday. I enjoyed it, and it's definitely got me even more pumped for the new season. At first I was a little miffed by how much of the book felt like a "Secret history of the X-files", with all the UFO stories, but I liked the turn it took towards the end where it seems the opinion of Milford is that the UFOs and their pilots may actually be from Earth, and more spiritual in nature (that said, I would be very disappointed to see Greys in the new season). Also, It felt like the section concerning Jack Parsons was alluding to some kind of connection with MIKE: the utterances of the "the magician longs to see…" monologue; the atomisation of his right arm in his fatal accident; and him possessing the jade ring. I know Mike Gerard is missing his left arm, but well, it rhymes!

I just finished the series. Yeah it's a weird one, very captivating but I watched most of it feeling like a dumbass for not getting it or whatever. I enjoyed my time spent with it though, and I'm sure I'll watch the new season. Haven't seen Fire Walk With Me yet.

Watch it, but know that it is extremely different from the series. Everything that seemed charmingly quirky in the show is now nightmarish and hostile, and everything that seemed nightmarish and hostile is now straight-up terror. Fire Walk With Me is such a drat good film.

I happened to find a clip from a few years ago where David Lynch talks to the Palmer family. He asks them what they have been up to since last we saw them. Being dead, in two cases. Pretty cool, good performances too! Apparently it's from the Twin Peaks Blueray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abHyTbOA0Oo

The very first scene is an axe going into a TV which is a bit of a hint.

I finished reading Secret History a couple weeks back, and while it was a fun and spooky detour I don't know that it really adds that much to the comprehension of the show. The most salient points from what I can tell are:
I don't think all the stuff about UFOs and ancient beings and cults and stuff is anything more than flavor. All it really tells you is that there's a lot of spooky poo poo in the world and there's competing explanations. Basically that the spiritual/supernatural is transformed by the mind of the beholder. It's basically just telling you "the stuff in this show is metaphor, and you will all take something different away from it. Get comfortable with that". Anybody expecting "proper explanations" from the book are likely sorely disappointed, but then again why the hell are you watching David Lynch's work if you want things to be properly explained

I know Mike Gerard is missing his left arm, but well, it rhymes! Just read through the book on a long train ride. I got the impression it was all the ring. Everyone who wears it becomes erratic. The guys from the start, Parsons, even Nixon. It seems to directly connect you with the other world. The arm this was a good spot though.

I finished The Secret History of Twin Peaks today, right in time for the announcement of season 3's release date which is one hell of cool coincidence. I'm curious as to what people make of the contradictions between the book's events and the show's events. Like they almost seem too blatant to be an accident. Norma's mother is dead in the book, alive and has a minor subplot in the show. Ben Horne wins the Civil War in his delusions in the show, loses the war in the book. I think Ed and Nadine's backstory is different between the book and show too. I'm half-tempted to include Josie in the book not being merely a femme fatale but also the hardest criminal to have ever gangstered in here too. I think the book even points to her as having planted the bank bomb, which is never the impression I've gotten from the show. I'm not really sure whether to take this as mere unreliable narration or...something else, like some time travel nonsense or something. Any thoughts on this?
