Also, I'm pretty sure that the shadowy homeless people who keep repeating the same phrase were inspired by enemies from Alan Wake and/or Deadly Premonition, two games that in turn were inspired by Twin Peaks.

Nah, they are based on random characters in Fire Walk With Me.



David Lynch barely knows what a computer is so I doubt he has even seen either of those games. Unlike John Carpenter who plays video games and tweets about them.

I really want to know how many of the people who hate this season of Twin Peaks for being too different and not featuring enough recurring characters also complained about Force Awakens being too much like Star Wars and not different enough from the older movies.

This is the thread where people give actual opinions on the show without Lynch superfans trying to justify why the show is deliberately awful.

It's weird because it's just as easy to say "I don't have the attention span for something like this, I had this same problem with 2001, oh well guess I'll stop watching it" but I guess admitting personal failings isn't seen as a sign of strength these days.

Me, I'm the kind of idiot that loves stuff like this but I really rarely have the insight to figure anything out without other people to help. :/

Nah, David Lynch is just secretly a horrible racist so he finds blacked-up homeless people terrifying.

Notice how their are no actual black people in the show.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I think a lot of people in here are forgetting that most, or at least half, of season 2 of the original show was pure trash. As bad as this new season is, I'd take it over most of season 2 any day.

Could be. The Owl Cave logo looks to me like two mountains (the twin peaks) with Glastonbury Grove between. This could be the portal of Glastonbury Grove opened up to be huge.

It also resembles the head of the alien being that spewed out BOB last episode.

I don't know if you're joking, but I think you're right. The Black Lodge seems to be a real, literal place and characters like Bob and the giant seem to be a real, albeit supernatural, beings. And season 3 has revealed that Laura Palmer isn't an average girl struggling to deal with this evil in her life, but some sort of preordained chosen one.

you can read into it if you want but beyond broad themes like the bomb as a manifestation of human capacity for violence (maybe modernity in general indicating such a capacity - the black lodge spirits move by things like electricity - and i think it is a capacity rather than the actual manifestation that triggers this poo poo, since it wasn't the hiroshima/nagaski nukes that set this off) ) i think it might be going into intellectual masturbation territory.

I got some real "darth Vader built c3po" vibes from that scene and I'm really hoping they do something to mitigate that "chosen one" thing because it severely undercuts the awesome juxtaposition of the mundane with the horrific established in Laura's story up until that point.

My entire life I thought stereotyping was ignorant and wrong. I grew up in San Diego, CA and hated that because I am the quintessential “ginger” (red hair, blue eyes and freckles) people assumed I didn’t understand Spanish and men would say things about me, in front of me, that would make a sailor blush. I, of course, having grown up in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood, knew exactly what they were saying and was often offended (I was also often amused, but that’s beside the point).

So I grew up, and moved to New York for college. Last summer, I moved out of the dorms into a “bad” neighborhood with some of my buddies. At the time, people warned me that it was a horrible neighborhood and I should stay closer to campus. And at the time, I didn’t see what was wrong with it. I did not understand why any neighborhood with black people was “bad.”

I got a second job at the Wendy’s a block away from my house, I didn’t really need the money but it was convenient and figured a little extra cash never hurt anyone. After a couple of weeks of work I realized that I was the only white person working there and everyone clearly assumed that I was a boring white person (probably because I was the only one that actually worked while I was there). Despite the cultural differences, I really enjoyed the company of some of my co-workers and invited two of them over to have a few drinks and smoke some bong. This is what ensued:

The first time they came over we had a blast, despite the fact that they drank my booze, smoked my weed, and ate a ton of my food without pitching in for any of it (I figured I hadn’t told them ahead of time about a cover charge so it wasn’t that big of a deal). I invited them over again the following week and they brought some friends (without telling me ahead of time) and drank my booze, smoked my weed ect. I asked them to throw down, and of course, nobody had cash on them. But we still had a blast, so I didn’t mind. I simply told them to bring some cash or byob next time (they never did, except once or twice one of them would give my of age boyfriend two dollars and ask him to walk three city blocks to pick up a forty. Then they asked for the change back.) Soon, they started showing up completely uninvited with their friends and it basically spiraled from there.

At the time I was underage and so were all of my room mates, so to avoid any unwanted police attention I had a very strict no drinking and driving policy. One night, about ten black people (only three of them were actually my friends) crashed on my couches/floor because they were far too drunk to drive. It never occurred to me that I should hide my valuables, because I’d had many friends (most of whom are white or Asian, because I am a college student and let’s face it, statistically those are the people I’m most likely to meet) crash at my place before and never had anything come up missing. But the next day the “party” had left before I woke up and my laptop was gone.

I hear black people complain all the time about how when they go into stores they are followed because it’s assumed they are shoplifting. My whole life I thought this stereotype was ridiculous, but now I wish I’d been a bigot and hid my poo poo from the darkies. It was a really nice laptop.
