So does Showtime have anything else worth watching that would help justify me subscribing for this? Do they have a bunch of movies on demand at least?

You can explain any of it as either retcon or simply unreliable facts from the in-universe narrator. Or read more into it. Whatever feels good.

The first seasons of Masters of Sex and Homeland were pretty cool, but each one that followed got worse. I didn't even resubscribe to watch the last seasons of either.

Really? I found Masters of Sex got better as it went on, though S4 wasn't as good as the previous 3. Still a fantastic show that I wish was still going

I needed something to use my Audible credits on, thanks. Annabel Pee posted: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. Just to second this, House of Leaves is one of my favourite books. Weird fictional non-fiction with rambling commentary around the edges is a genre now.

The part I wasn't sure about was whether the character was based on Woody's dad at all, not whether or not McCarthy somehow knew that Woody would be the one to play him in a future film adaptation or not. I apologize for both this derail and any confusion I've caused.

haha David Lynch mentioned that he didn't read Frost's book during the TCA thing, so the details probably don't add up to anything substantial plot-wise. I think Frost said that everyone experiences/remembers Twin Peaks a bit differently, so I don't think its time travel or alternate dimension poo poo but just a continuation of a theme that's in most Lynch movies-people dealing with unbearable events, constructing false memories or new subjective realities to escape them, but loving themselves in the end. I'm glad Lynch also said the last seven days of Laura Palmer are important to the new show, as a huge FWWM fan.

Good ol Coop hasn't been himself since the middle of season 2. Old Coop wouldn't have idled around waiting for crime to happen, he would have detectived his way to the culprit. Goddamn, how they wasted that character after the Palmer murder annoyed the hell out of me.

Its going to be very interesting to see how much fan service(for lack of a better term) there will be in this, and obviously my instincts would say none, because its Lynch. I don't even really mean fan service in terms of blatant references necessarily, but for example, will there be some kind of central mystery that the characters are trying to solve like there was in the first season? Will the tone of the show be more like Fire Walk With Me or the original series? In a lot of ways I think this new season could end up getting a similar reception as Fire Walk With Me.

I have enough faith that they won't retread old ground that much, but what that means to Lynch is anyone's guess.

18 episodes of new Lynch/Frost material, I think this is gonna be good stuff no matter how similar to the original it is. Plus what with having so many characters returning, it'll be somewhat faithful in at least that way. Even if the vibe and some extra dark content we hypothesize might be more like some of Lynch's other work. But in general I've just been itching for more Lynch, it being more Twin Peaks is a bonus. In general, I think people know it's gonna be a new thing. But I have a feeling it'll be true to the characters and the mysterious allure Twin Peaks has.

I hope there isn't any fan service. That type of stuff is always poo poo. I'm pretty confident in Lynch though. The thing with Lynch is whether this is good or bad it will still be good. If it's good, awesome. If it's bad, it will still be loving nuts and hilarious because of Lynch. He never disappoints.

"Too small" in the sense that "nobody will want to watch a show about what goes on in a town that small", right? Feh. And then the whole show itself is clearly designed to depict a 5000-person town and pretend the sign thing never happened.
