Does the actor that plays Mike have one or two arms? I realize I could Google this. It's strange, because when he's clothed it's blatantly obviously that he's doing the arm under the shirt thing. But then there is that scene with his shirt off, and he has no arm. It looks to real to be a prosthetic for the era. So what's the deal with this Schrodinger's arm dilemma?

The actor lost one arm in a car crash when he was a teenager

In my memory he also has like a really barrel shaped torso that makes him look strangely thick for what looks like a smaller guy.

Sometimes I send myself into a spiral thinking about Philip Gerard/Mike/The Man From Another Place. Like, what happened to Philip Gerard? Did he die? Is it only Mike in the Waiting Room in season 3? Why did Mike cut off his arm but Philip lost it in an accident? Bob is evil, TMFAP is. . .neutral(?) And Mike is good? But not that good because he's in the Waiting Room.

Twin Peaks does lose a lot moment after you find out who killed Laura Palmer. Some of these subplots like the one where Andy and Dick think a kid is the Anti Christ are bad.

i don't think that's really controversial. everything building up to the reveal is pretty much excellent, i think the original series peaks around that time (excluding the finale of s2), but immediately after it you just have what feels like flailing subplots with nothing really in focus. there are probably some good things in there, i've never rewatch those episodes though so i don't remember the details. it recovers and finds a new much darker direction from the s2 finale onwards, but that middle period is just 'what now? here's something wacky this is a wacky show right'

roomtone posted:from the s2 finale onwards  I've got this theory that you can view the whole of season 2 as three distinct mini seasons, each about as long as S1. 2a is everything from the start to, well, a fairly obvious point really. 2b has aimless subplots and ends when Diane Keaton's episode ties them all up, in my opinion well enough that it's worth sitting through them. 2c is the rest, basically the Windom Earle season, and is half hot garbage and half essential Twin Peaks lore so in many ways it's the hardest part.

Y’all seen Search Party? There’s some stuff in seasons 3 and 4 that feels like twin peaks got filtered through Veronica Mars and maybe a little Pretty Little Liars.

I liked Search Party a lot but it felt more like a modern Fargo with terrible people making the worst decisions possible at every point.

We watched a what seemed like a Twin Peaks antecedent/influence over the weekend: a 1970's Australian movie called Picnic at Hanging Rock (our neighbor lent us his Critereon DVD). It's a period piece about the disappearance of 3 girls and a teacher from an all-girls school around 1900. I would not say that it's a good movie by modern standards but I guess it was groundbreaking especially for Australian cinema at the time. It definitely checked a lot of boxes for Lynchian work -- a very open ended mystery with eerie nature atmospherics, music, changes in film speed, etc. We didn't love the movie but it's probably worth a watch if you're into that kind of thing. At some level the criterion commentaries on the second disk were more interesting and I can't help but think someone could do a pretty decent remake as a Shadow of the Vampire sort of flick where the original book's author is somehow involved in the original mystery and re-enacts it during filming.

Seconding this. It’s an amazing movie that has an atmosphere that just completely envelops you at times. I’m due for a rewatch so thanks for reminding me! There was a tv version a few years back but i dunno, the original is an all time great film imo so I didn’t check that one out.

If we are talking about things to recommend for Twin Peak fans I want to bring up Sam Keith's The MAXX. Yes this is a  superhero comic but the starting point is that Maxx is a homeless mentally ill wreck and in hopelessly codependent friendship with his social worker Julie Winters who has her own issues  . The series deals with trauma, repression and the sub consciences. The first twelve issues is one of the finest stories ever done in comics and got adapted into an animate series available on Amazon the series is worth the $19 and at least spend the $2 to watch the first episode I promise its worth it. Sam Keith the creator of the series was the First artist that worked with Neil Gaiman on the Sandman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGw0-gLZaMA&t=5s

I thought Legion had some pretty strong David Lynch vibes when I first saw it. Recently I rewatched S1 and the impression has diminished somewhat, I think I just originally watched it at around the same time as Twin Peaks S3, but it does still have those "what's real and what's not and what's just a metaphor" elements and gets quite loving odd.

i think part of the problem is how the second season loses its way and meanders. season 3 will help you re-contextualize the importance of all the 'ancillary' characters. theyre the heart of the show
