I still can't believe this is actually happening, with Lynch, Frost and pretty much every living cast member back on board. And that we are getting 18 (18!) episodes directed by Lynch. I have no idea what to expect and I'm getting chills just thinking about tomorrow night.

One of the things I'm most looking forward to is new music by Angelo Badalamenti. His work on the original series and FWWM is so, so good. His music is critical to establishing the show's atmosphere - there are literally no other songs even in the world of Twin Peaks except for his, with characters in the show listening to him on the jukebox and radios. So excited to hear new stuff from him.

It's a shame that he's pretty much retired from acting and has no interest in coming back. Weirdly he was set to return, he was even trying to find the original jacket but then suddenly bowed out of it and hasn't said why. On the other hand we do get Robert Forster so...

I'm guessing Forster going to play Harry's older brother, Frank. He is mentioned a couple of times in The Secret History of Twin Peaks.

What else is lame is that the CraveTV app, despite supporting chromecast, doesn't allow captions through it, which is kinda bullshit (also, casting is buggy as hell).

Is it confirmed if CraveTV will have episodes 3 & 4 streaming at the same time that Showtime does?

Among the many burning questions I have about the return, one of the most important ones is if they are going to keep the original opening or not. (I might cry once that first note of the theme hits.)

Trying to reconcile my love for anything Lynch does with how much this did not feel like Twin Peaks. I'm into Lost Highway and Inland Empire, but I liked how Lynch had to fit himself into TV for TP and his partnership with Frost ended up working. I don't see any trace of Frost in this so far. I like it, it's just a different beast.

I think it's great getting to see some evil Dale Cooper but that lounge lizard look just does not work for him.

I was really conflicted about the first couple of hours when first watching them and actually felt disappointed, but after hitting 3&4 and rewatching 1&2 I'm completely enamored of the revival. It's rich, fresh and provocative. Like a poster above said I really miss the constant soundtrack from Angelo Badalamenti but that's really my only complaint so far. Well, I also wish they would spend more time in Twin Peaks because there's enough in that one town for a compelling show but I think we'll be there a lot more of the actual town in the coming hours.

Some additional notes:

- Is Laura back in the real world? Her saying "Yet I live" and disappearing in a way sort of similar to Dale falling out of the lodge makes me wonder where she is going

- Sarah sitting in her living room, surrounded by cigarette butts and alcohol, watching lions eat a water buffalo was incredible

- I'm still not totally on board with the look of Evil Dale but I love that it's happening and that Kyle MacLachlan gets to do it. It seemed like he was going to have a lot of fun playing that role based on that last minute of the S2 finale and it's great getting to see him doing it. And I love the weird way his voice sounds and the repetition in the scene of him speaking with Gordon Cole in the prison.

- "HelllloooOOOOooooo" is never not funny

- Ep3: That was Ronette Pulakski's actress as the 2nd woman in the weird water/space apartment Dale was in telling him to leave before her mother came in. Interesting casting...

- The Wally Brando scene is amazing. I love how Forster just does not give a poo poo about what he's saying. "Your dharma......"

- Also Naomi Watts' character's name is "Janey-E"

I think what this means is that Laura is only alive in the Black Lodge now since she was murdered while wearing the ring in FWWM no? So she seems like she is just trapped there forever, but then transfers to some other plane of existence or some poo poo when she teleports out of the room/screams a lot.

If so, definitely a little depressing because the end of FWWM with her angel suggested that her spirit was going to get some sort of reprieve.

Can't stop thinking about these first four episodes - this is phenomenal stuff.

There are some really great, funny comic scenes that only get better the more you think about or watch them. The casino, the bunnies, the evolution of the Arm, Wally, "Faces of stone".

I want every episode now but it's going to be great having the chance to relish each one over and over every week.

Man, I really love that scene in the jail between Cole, Albert and Bad Coop. Coop's voice, the repetition of dialogue, the sound design, the creepy smile/thumbs up. Even after watching it twice, I didn't notice that he says, "It's yrev very good to see you again, old friend" until seeing it pointed out elsewhere even though it seems so obvious when you're looking for it.

Really need to start paying more attention to the sound in general going forward. Lynch is obviously putting significant effort into it and the Giant/????? does tell Coop to "listen to the sounds" in the first scene of this season.

Right. I think she's the only one, outside of Kyle, that appears in the credits each episode even if they don't appear in that episode.

So the popular theory that it was Briggs' headless body is true. So was he kept alive for 25 years and killed recently? Or perhaps they identified his body in the fire by his teeth, so maybe his head was in the fire but his body kept elsewhere. And if Bad Coop hired people to assassinate Good Coop after he took over Dougie's body, why is Dougie's ring in Garland's stomach? There are many questions.

Man when I saw FWWM at the Alamo drafthouse this song was so goddamn loud it was nearly deafening. It helped convey how disorienting the place was but it was almost painful.

Even watching FWWM on a crappy TV years ago I was totally overwhelmed by The Pink Room - would love to catch the movie on the big screen some day.

e: I watched TP as a young kid and didn't remember much about it except the theme song and BOB. I saw FWWM was on TV one night and thought, "Great! That show was so weird and goofy, this will be fun" and, yeah, I wasn't quite ready for that.

Unsurprisingly, Lynch killed Showtime's plans for a big marketing campaign using footage from S3.

quote:

“We visited him and came with a stack of print solutions and pretty creative video solutions,” Buckley said. “And he served donuts as he does. In the middle of it all, he interrupted the presentation, which included some of my colleagues, and said, ‘I think Don and Eric have done a great job!’ And he started applauding, and everybody joined in on the applause.”

“And two days later he killed everything we had showed him. The donuts were good though.”

Sarah & Leland came to mind for that young couple, but even with the fluid logic of Twin Peaks I find it hard to imagine how they cast that girl as someone who will eventually look like Grace Zabriskie.

It seems like the golden orb of Laura's soul turns out to be the hatching FrogRoach 11 years after being sent out by the Giant just because of the sequences of scenes (not a sentence I ever expected to type and make sense of) but then it seems like the Woodsman repeats his poem over the radio to help the FrogRoach find a home/host, which doesn't make a lot of sense in terms of motivation on either end.

What a show!

Outside of the surreal stuff, I'm interested in how Ray managed to fool Dirty Cooper. He somehow ended up being the one with a loaded gun, leaving DC with the empty revolver. Did Philip Jeffries somehow influence the warden to screw over DC?

Lynch's representation of technology continues to be fascinating. DC's phone somehow shows the 3 tracking devices on their car, represented by icons listed as "C", "FIRE", and "DOX". He swipes each of them away, inputs the license plate of the truck in front of them, then tosses the phone out the window - problem solved!

If you're not watching this show with headphones, you really should be. The sound design in the series is incredible - this episode and especially the scene with the hobos digging & spreading Dirty Coop's blood were 10x more effective being totally immersed in it with a good set of cans.

I don't think that's the last Audrey scene we see given how likely it is that Richard is her son. But I did enjoy the scene or at least respected it for what I think Lynch was trying to make us feel with it.

It's very deliberate that they waited so long to reintroduce Audrey and spend most of her scene talking about people we don't know and likely won't completely meet. We're meant to reconcile this Audrey with the ambitious sexpot Audrey from the first two seasons - we (or at least I) expected her to be married to some well-off person (the cliche of having a husband just like the dad she despised), probably dealing with a teenage daughter that acts just like her, etc. etc. That's what would happen in most other stories.

But we're left trying to piece together how the hell she ended up in this marriage, with (possibly) a total sociopath for a son. And Lynch/Frost want us to infer the last 25 years of her life based on her constant swearing (denoting unhappiness with her life), her impatience, lack of respect for her husband, talking about people we'll never know or care about because after 25 years, no matter who you are/were, life may just end up being totally different and/or anticlimactic compared to what you or others wanted for you.

It's definitely not a satisfying scene and it's maybe not a great scene, but I think it was very effective. And pretty funny.
