Long before Season 3 was ever announced, I used to wish that my favorite comic book artist, Mike Allred, could work with Lynch and Frost on a Twin Peaks graphic novel or comic book miniseries that wrapped up the loose ends from Season 2 and Fire Walk With Me. Anyone familiar with his style should agree that he would have been a great fit.

Well, Allred illustrated a graphic novel biography of David Bowie, due out in January 2020, and it should be mind-blowing. This week he started revealing some sample panels, including this one:

Very cool! Love comics, and Mike is cool.

Speaking of cool, just finished the audiobook of Room to Dream, that is 16 hours of excellence. Lots of great stories well told, a delight.

TIFF has been showing Lynch films for the last few weeks and I'm heading to see FWWM tonight. Figure it's going to be quite an experience on the big screen.

They'll be showing S3 episodes 1, 2 and 8 in a couple of weeks as well.

The Diane podcast is still putting out episodes and they’re worth checking out (they’re alternating between rewatch recaps of episodes and overall theme episodes)

It makes me really happy to hear that I wasn't the only one who felt that there was something kinda magical/special about watching and discussing Twin Peaks, that summer. It definitely was a memorable experience for me, and I hadn't felt that involved or passionate about anything media or pop-culture related in a VERY long time. In some ways it actually made me feek young, which was really the opposite of what I expected.

Something that I love more and more and more and more every time I watch them are the phone scenes between Michael Horse (Hawk) and Catherine Coulson (Margaret "Log-Lady" Lanterman) on the phone. Those just... It's clear that the phone calls became increasingly more about the pain Margaret/Catherine was in at the time, and it's impossible to NOT hear her struggling with each and every single breath. Hawk's side feels somewhat disconnected from her, but it kind of works due to the vague weirdness that permeates the use of telephones (especially cellular ones) through the series' course. It seems significant that both Hawk and Margaret are using land-lines. But anyway, the last couples scenes with those two on the phone just gets more and more devastating. "There's some fear in letting go. My log is turning gold. The wind is moaning. I'm dying... Good night, Hawk."

It''s the knowledge that she was truly dying, and really speaking to Lynch as he was the only other person in the room at the time, I think. It's very emotionally direct and intense for Lynch - reminds me of the deeply empathetic, grounded Lynch who is more in touch with the concrete realities of what it means to live a life of suffering and unfulfilled desires; basically, I'm referring to the Lynch who directed The Elephant Man and The Straight Story. Someone in this thread once made a great point about The Return, and I will try not to totally butcher it in paraphrasing it - they said that it was kind of like Lynch's final big "thesis statement" or final product at the end of his career, that have him a chance to utilize and flesh out a lot of the kinda stuff he's been doing in various media - frog moths, musical acts in nearly every episode, etc etc. There was something a little indulgent about some of the scenes, but Lynch's indulgences tend to also be my indulgences - like Cera doing an a perfectly loquacious "Wild One"-era Brando.

I just want to take a moment to shame everyone in the thread for being mean to the best poster in the thread about anime that one time

I really need to do a full series rewatch, I haven't even ever seen all of season 2. Planned to before S3 started but you know how that stuff goes. It was amazing watching S3 live, it's still mind boggling that something like this was on tv every week for a season, just amazing surrealist television.

Is anything after Leeland's death in season 2 that important? Windom Earle is rightfully ignored. Okay, Annie appears in the movie, but that's it basically. I skimmed through it mostly.

There's little bits of Lodge lore throughout, so my position has always been don't skip anything. And the Season 2 finale is absolutely crucial.

The only storyline where I can really understand the temptation to skip is that James/car storyline. In my last rewatch I got through those by just trying to see the funny side in how absolutely worthless and unnecessary that entire storyline was.

I actually finally watched all of Twin Peaks for the first time back in 2017, and only completed Fire Walk With Me about 2-3 weeks into season 3. So yes, unlike the rest of the world there was literally ZERO downtime for me between the end of the first TV run and film and watching season 3.

I am so loving glad I mostly got to watch season 3 week to week though, God what a wild loving ride that was.
