Ep 18 legitimately caused me to confront my depression and seek positive life changes. It sounds really stupid and cliche, but it changed my life.

I'm finally watching the Blu-ray extras, what do people think about the Jason S. films/behind the scenes things? I'm really mixed so far. The actual scenes of Lynch and the crew are pretty great but I feel like I'm completely missing something when it comes to these weirdly narrated interstitials. Do they add up to anything interesting?

The entire thing changed the way I look at how I create art and the nature of identity in what we put into the world. I really, really don’t like to gush over heroes and idols and all that but Lynch has taught me so much about life and art. It’s a little crazy.

Episode 18 was definitely my favorite of the season. It perfectly encapsulated the eccentricity of the Twin Peaks universe.

That little cricket chirp/strange noise when Laura vanished off screen was probably the single most offputting thing in the entire show. Not sure what about it got to me so much

hard to imagine this one as anything other than a code then there's the different colored Rancho Rosa titles, but that's more likely just an artistic choice

Not sure what about it got to me so much Since you didn't mention it, it's the same sound the Fireman plays Coop in the very first scene of the season, and I remember already feeling a bit intrigued but perturbed.

As you said though: the cast and crew stuff is great!

My favorite takeaway from the extras so far is the fact that Robert Forster apparently never watched the original series. "So these two had a romance?" Talking about Bobby and Laura.  I thought his performance ended up being good, once I got over original Truman being left out.

Haven't posted an update on my first time watch-thru in a while because I've slowed down my pace even more. I must say it does get tedious IMO if you watch consecutive episodes between 5-7, 9-15, because it takes its time and Lynch is definitely teasing and harassing me. Like, that scenes with Bobby coming across that maniacal woman in a rush in her car, then a kid has a seizure and vomits up goo. Um, OK. I'm sure that will be explained later just like all the other random poo poo... Heh.

what's amazing about that scene is how much happens, it goes from shelly and bobby talking to their daughter, to red showing up, to it all being interrupted and it's just like the world shifts between the audiences feet just like it does bobby, because it all escalates so neatly but so dang quickly.

We were watching this via showtime on Amazon which I cancelled immediately. I found out when looking over my CC statements this month that I am separately paying for the showtime website, because I am dumb. Considering an s3 rewatch...

I'm rewatching the entirety of Twin Peaks, one episode a day until I get to S3 which I want to marathon. I may take breaks between seasons but I'll try and keep up. It's already super weird to watch the pilot with S3 in mind, because I keep wondering how much of S3 was in Lynch and Frost's mind when they were filming this. Most likely not much, but I still can't help but think of it. Pretty much every scene with Sarah feels very strange, for one. Cooper is kind of acting like a dick. Feels like he wasn't fully fleshed out yet in the pilot. James status: cool. So far it holds up.

I can guarantee that nothing of s3 was in either of their minds while filming the pilot.

I remember somebody on my facebook feed being amazed at how lynch had this whole thing meticulously planned out 25 years ago lol. he's said in several interviews that they were basically making poo poo up as they went along (like how things like bob and the red room were conceived during shooting)

Frankly reality is even more impressive than having a “grand master plan”. Just being able to turn poo poo and serendipity into something that affecting is nothing short of astounding. Like, most of the season 2 finale was basically tossed and re-improvised by Lynch on the fly and it’s just one of the best things.

Episode 1: Cooper is rapidly on the way to the Coop we remember and love. Sarah is having unstable moods and visions of a certain set dresser which are, if anything, even creepier in hindsight, and I can already absolutely see where the idea for her S3 portrayal came from. Pete is making fish coffee. James: the wool jumper and the goofy grin he gives Donna are not cool. But he's playing it cool, the meet-the-parents thing, and I feel that oughta count. Talked to a friend today about the show and she said she'd only ever seen the first two or three episodes, years ago. I'm starting to wonder if that means she never even got to the Red Room. I think if you're watching Twin Peaks today and wondering what the deal is, that's what's gonna hook you.

Did the guy who picked up on Bob being a nuclear bomb reference from the original series ever finish season 3? If so can I get his reading on it because that is an opinion I value.

I’m gonna wait a year or two before I do a complete rewatch. I only watched season 3 just once during the air dates and everything is still incredibly vivid in my mind.

Episode 2: the Red Room scene may not in fact be what hooks you. The first one kinda just comes across as weird for its own sake and I'd love to know what audiences thought of it back in the day. MIKE's recitation of the poem and subsequent monologue feel like the early 90s prototype of the ending to S3 episode 8. Actually, if you know what's to come regarding the Black Lodge stuff - and not even in S3, just the first two - these first glimpses of it still feel improperly fleshed out. Cooper's definitely found his stride by now, though. James is barely in this episode. Status unchanged. e: E3: to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't blame anyone for deciding the show's not for them after this one. The soap opera aspects get painfully overt sometimes and 25 years remove a lot of context with the media landscape. Fighting someone at a funeral isn't very cool. Being in a secret society, though? Totally. My Lovely Horse fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Feb 4, 2018 |

Most likely not much, but I still can't help but think of it. Pretty much every scene with Sarah feels very strange, for one. The International Pilot presents the red room stuff from Episode 2 with a preface that says "25 Years Later..." which is why Kyle is in old man makeup. It also establishes BOB as an evil entity created by a "convenience store." Episode 3 has Cooper admitting that his supernatural sense of intuition was a gift to him in a dream. I mean, I agree that they are making a lot of it up as they go along (which makes some of the crazier theories linking The Return to throwaway joke dialogue in the original series really funny), but I have a feeling they had an idea of where the show would be headed, even if it would have been presented in a completely different way on Season 6 of the hypothetical original show rather than The Return.
