Every woman on Twin Peaks was gorgeous, including the Log Lady. Especially the Log Lady.

I'm REALLY excited about this new season OP, but I gotta say I'm not looking forward to some of the GBS hot takes about this show. It seems to me that a lot of people here like to be contrarian just for the sake of it, which is a really lovely attitude to take through life.

I don't know if it's possible to take a contrarian stance on David Lynch's work, most of it resides in a quantum state where it is simultaneously good and bad.

When people talk about season 2 being terrible they're generally talking about after everything after the resolution of Laura Palmer's murder right? Because I think those first 9 episodes of season 2 are every bit as good as the first season, and if the show ended there it would more or less be considered a perfect run.

I think my favorite scene might be when the rear end in a top hat jock teen's army dad meets him in the diner and tells him about the dream he had where he was proud of him and everything was okay. It comes from nowhere and I think goes nowhere, but it's just an unexpected, beautiful moment.

Best girl was Madchen Amick, although I have no idea if she held up. (Also, Madchen is german for "girl", so her parents basically named their daughter "girl", which is odd.)

She looks like she's had a lot of work done; meanwhile Peggy Lipton somehow looks better at 70.

Every post, review, and thinkpiece is "aww man, this is full-on Lynch, I think people are going to hate this but I (a man of refined tastes) loving love it", and actually nobody is saying they don't like it because the people who wouldn't like it knew not to watch it to begin with.

I don't know why they had to go with two brothers Truman just because the original Harry wasn't available. Donna was played by a different actress in FWWM, and ostensibly Harry Truman could look like anything after 25 years. But they went through the trouble of introducing his brother, who is basically the same character, in the official novel before season three and stuff. Lynch loves the theme of duality, so who knows.

As far as the show is concerned, it's basically no trouble at all to introduce him as a separate character; it takes like 5 seconds. The recasting in FWWM was kind of unavoidable by virtue of it being a prequel.

I thought The Man from Another Place was dead, but actually he passed on the new series because of money and also had a big meltdown on Facebook where he accused Lynch of raping his own daughter and having Jack Nance murdered and also said Twin Peaks was boring :rip:

So anyway, that's why he's a brain on a tree now

I'll give it a shot but I have very low expectations for any 90s TV revival.

It's better than Fuller House, but not as good as a theoretical David Lynch-directed Fuller House.

yeah. people complain about this being slow but it's moving at light speed relative to the original series. this is just the good stuff [if the relativity expression there made anyone reading this feel a strong compulsion to correct me go kill yourself you are the ur-goon].

I guess it depends on how you define pace- Twin Peaks chewed through tons of plot every episode, it was just that barely any of it mattered.

If they had decided to recast BOB (separate from evil coop), Brett Gelman would have been a pretty good choice.

anyone who thinks the black lodge and the supernatural elements of the show are some figurative display of trauma or w/e are dumbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

Within the world of Twin Peaks they are literal, but within our world, watching Twin Peaks on television, they are representations of abstract ideas like pain and sorrow (garmonbozia)

Coop gonna be back in the last, or second to last episode. There's the shot of him driving from the trailer we still haven't seen, and Dougie can't drive.

That could be evil Cooper in disguise.

This one is intentionally going to end with more cliffhangers than season 2 did.

-Does the last thing Dougie says mean that he's Cooper again?
-What happens to the Sheriff's department after it turns out Frank Truman is Harry's doppelganger, not his brother?
-What did Tina say?
-What was on James' setlist for the roadhouse that caused Trent Reznor to self immolate?
-Will Dr. Jacoby and Nadine be able to shovel themselves out of the poo poo with an unpainted shovel?

SPOILERS ON EPISODE 16

So I guess the real Diane got killed by BadCoop the night he visited her and replaced her with a fake of her to be used as a spy?

She said she's at the Sheriff's station. That's where the real one is.

Some interesting things about 18:

The woman who owned the house is the real life woman who owns that house.

One of the biggest changes in tone is that there's literally no music after that scene.

I feel like the transition there was into the "real" world, or at least world closer to reality than the one we had been shown before.

I know what you're saying about it looking more "real" (I think that Valero station is the first real-world business we've ever seen on the show), but when Laura screams and the lights burn out, it feels a lot like she's shattered some sort of illusion, like she's broken the world they're in.

Maybe they're in our world, but in the reality of Twin Peaks maybe our world is fictional.

Coop and Dianne's new names should have been Kyle McLaughlin and Laura Dern, and they track down Gordon Cole and he's David Lynch, film director.
