I think my new favourite quote from the episodes so far is "Jade give two rides!" The delivery is so loving perfect.

The three and a half hour FWWM fan-edit that puts the missing pieces back in is really entertaining.

Me too - I dunno why but the entire *exchange* was perfect, like... The absurdity of the situation, first - and the fact that Jade refers to herself in the third person and actually says, "You mean Jade's gonna hafta give you two rides now!?" and him taking so long to echo it back, and that sort of finally being the last straw where she's like "This guy is fuckin' GONE". And yeah, the delivery is just totally perfect. He somehow manages to say it without putting any emphasis on any single word in the phrase, while still saying it in a sort of obliviously innocent way. Does anyone else feel like, after watching those 4 episodes, they could just go back and watch the entirety of seasons 1 + 2 + FWWM and like... all kinds of new and weird meanings will be interjected into it? Frost is actually the one who has been meticulously consistent about the symbolism in the surrealist imagery, based on what I've heard about "The secret history of Twin Peaks" which I just ordered off Amazon because I'm hopeless  Apparently Richard Nixon owned "The Ring" for a period of time according the book. Special Agent Tammi Preston's notes are apparently written throughout the margins so it must have been done concurrently with season 3 to some extent. But anyway to my original point, like... I could live with just those four new episodes as the only new material for like, months. If David Lynch were instead releasing four 3-hour movies over the course of 6 years to wrap up Twin Peaks, I'd be so goddamn thrilled. Instead we're getting so much more, and it's just... so much better than expected. It is *so* rare that I actually get to say that about television. The last time I got this feeling from watching a television series was maybe... season 1 of True Detective, at times. Before that? Maybe Battlestar Galactica around the end season 3 or so I think, and before that maybe season 1 of Lost. It's just very rare you find yourself watching something that feel really.. new and out there and a little mind-blowing. Maybe I am over-praising it. But just letting it wash over you without thinking too hard is still an intense experience.

The last time I got this feeling from watching a television series was maybe... season 1 of True Detective, at times. The Kubrick influence is evident throughout, especially in the Coop through Space scenes. But I think the way in which it most echoes Kubrick is in the way it seems to pull you into another dimension entirely, breaking through the screen like the face-eating box ghost. We are to the show as the characters are to the Black Lodge. There were brief flashes of this in S1 True Detective, but the new Twin Peaks does it so utterly and completely, and almost effortlessly, like Lynch is putting on an old favorite jacket. I am not a fan of much of Lynch's other work, but this is him at absolute peak form. Its awesome to watch and I feel really lucky that Twin Peaks just happened to be the subject.

Not that "Twin Peaks" would be expanding, but the technical excellence of the shots was what floored me. I don't know how they were captured, but those too-slow pans of the cityscape were marvelous and a feast for the eyes.

Not that "Twin Peaks" would be expanding, but the technical excellence of the shots was what floored me. I was wondering if someone would bring that up. I don't think I've ever seen a shot of Manhattan looking like that in film, all the buildings lit up that weird almost too-uniform way, with that particular angle down on them. I know there's only so many different ways you can shoot the city since it's going to look the same on any given night you happen to rent a helicopter, but drat, it was a breathtaking sight. Then the subtitle goes NEW YORK CITY  and I'm like "ppfffff seriously"

I know what was said about Hurley being dain bramaged from a motorcycle accident, but he honestly looked fine in the Bang Bang Bar. He was smiling, having a beer, and motioning to his friend to look at the band. What gives? Have I missed something?

I'm guessing that footage of the cities (and the waterfall in the intro) was shot with a drone?

I never saw the original so maybe that's why, but I'm giving this a shot and it's boring as poo poo. I'm halfway through episode 3 and it's just been one big fever dream. Do we ever get a story? Some kind of plot? Because if it's just a bunch of weird poo poo and people staring while not saying anything I'm checking out.

This is not something most people can just jump on into. You need to watch season 1/2 and the film.

To see if David Lynch's more surreal stuff would be up your alley in general, could watch Mulholland Drive for a primer. And of course Blue Velvet (less surreal but must see), Lost Highway, and more.

When Sarah Palmer is watching the lions eat the wildebeest, it reminded me of when BOB kills Maddy. The sounds, and especially when the lion is clamped down on its face.

Episode 4 was much better, less trippy poo poo and more actual things happening. I'll continue on. It's not that I didn't know what was going on more that it was just boring. Ep 3 took almost 20 minutes to have the dude stare around with a weird non-eyed woman and all this other poo poo that I just didn't care about. Ep. 4 was good though.

It doesn't have to be logical, it's just a trial for the characters to go through.

Magic Hate Ball posted:The three and a half hour FWWM fan-edit that puts the missing pieces back in is really entertaining. That's how I saw FWWM for the first time and thought it was great, like a 3-episode special. It was put together really well, to the point I only knew what was from Missing Pieces because I'd read how most non-Laura stuff had been cut. Agent Desmond being given time to establish himself was really good. David Bowie's scenes felt like they were going to make as much sense as they ever would, and it makes me really sad he wasn't able to reprise his role  . Not to go on too long, but I thought having more 'Peaksy' stuff in FWWM really helped it, as we got to see everyone's plots being lined up for the pilot. Lastly, I heard a lot of people say it doesn't line up with the TV series, but I thought the film hit every point brought up in the show, especially the details of things like Laura and James's last meeting.
