I hope he never recovers and a lot of bad fans are pissed off. Great artists give you what you need, not what you want.

Don't try to watch 2001 or any other Kubrick movie really. Maybe incredibly talented directors just aren't your "thang?"

Seriously, that's what I find frustrating. And that frustration is at least 50% jealousy. I wish I had time to watch poo poo I don't like, much less have time to post about not liking it.

smdh at the people who watched all of Lost, Battlestar Galactica, every Marvel movie, etc but somehow Twin Peaks is the point where not having everything explained and building towards something is just too much to handle

Even Twin Peaks (my favorite thing ever) is pretty sophomoric; people just don't want challenging entertainment.

The punchline to every joke this that they are bad people, but at least they are delivered by some real community theater level chuckleheads. I tried a few and (get this, Dougie haters) I stopped watching the thing I didn't like and never once posted about it in the Always Sunny thread! Wow!!

It was pretty easy to see it was about the black lodge, but I enjoy that Bob is made from some CG throw up / creamcorn and Laura Palmer is a golden orb sent to earth.

The scenes with the tall man looked like 90s FMVs.

If lynch really wants to be a bad rear end and confound viewer expectations, then he shouldn't bring back normal Cooper. Not for a second.

The more I think about it, the more I think that this is the only way. You either don't bring back Cooper, or you bring him back and then you kind of have to deal with the emotional fallout of the fact that he's lost 25 years of his life. And he's still in love with Annie. Nah, just keep him Dougiefied, gently caress the casuals that just showed up for coffee and pie catchphrases (as always).

That's what I'm saying, they weren't fans of the original show. They caught most of season one, have some fond half-memories, thought some of the cast was hot, but they weren't actually fan.

They were more "casual" viewers, if you will.

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

Why do you care if people are enjoying a show you don't? Why don't you want to explain why you don't like it? Why are you still watching a show you don't like?

Now that's some interesting and valid feedback! Do you think you'll still feel the same way if all those stories progress to some kind of conclusion (given, yknow, lynch) by the end?

One of the things I really liked about the original two seasons was that it left us with a lot to chew over and piece together. It took the rise of the internet and a couple decades to figure out some of the weirder connections. If all season 3 does is give us another 25 years of material to figure out I'll be happy as a pig in poo poo.

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. :/

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.

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.

Nah I've been waiting for this for 14 years and it's still exceeding any hopes I've ever had and I've rewatched most of the episodes. Bone to the haters: I didn't rewatch that one that was SUPER Dougie heavy because hey I enjoy the slow burn on that storyline but I don't need it twice. I'm happy as a pig in poo poo with the show and just annoyed with the really really shallow criticism. There's probably more structured and considered hate in TVIV but fuuuuuck that.

Oh right sorry I wasn't even thinking of that when I posted. It's true, I like pro wrestling sometimes and it annoys me when people don't "get it" (ditto when people "don't get" Lynch).

No, I was thinking of the weird endless debate about Big Ed's Big Editing Mistake and the still-vocal "we want our Cooper pacifier" crew. Back to only talking about TP here, reading the FYAD thread, and otherwise going dark.
