Wasn't Don Davis Scully's dad? I've only seen like one season of X-files so I could have dreamed that.

Long time Twin Peaks fan, getting to rewatch it all again with a friend who has never seen the show. It’s always a real treat to enjoy it with someone who is brand new to it. Right now we are into the dregs of season 2, and as always I’m cringing at some of the plotlines. But there is still enough good stuff and I love the show so much that it would be impossible for me to ever skip any episodes!

Tbh I’m super excited to dig into Season 3 again.

I am in the home stretch of Season 2 , episode 21 right now. I don't remember anything. Surprised to see Heather Graham I didn't know she was in Twin Peaks. Shits getting real. I honestly don't know when it happened but all the poo poo with James I guess was sort of not resolved I dunno . Just glad I don't have to sit through his story line anymore. So dull.


Keeping things rather spoiler free for myself , but excited to see how this ends.

edit:

What the hell did I watch lol I forgot how weird that last episode was

The thing I regret, other than not getting into the show sooner, is being so excited to read about/discuss the show that I inadvertently spoil myself for some things. (Yet I participate in the thread. Curious! I am very intelligent.)

Watched S2 eps 4 and 5 last night. I really appreciate how the show can have such ridiculous, unworkable plans on one hand (Catherine in yellowface?!?!) and on the other still be like, "no, actually, when an 18-year-old girl with no resources makes a plan, and her only help is another 18-year-old girl who isn't really on board with the plan, that plan is going to suck." I thought Donna was going to try to take Harold into his bedroom or something, which was bad enough, but no, they're just standing on the other side of the giant windows, five feet away from Maddy fumbling around with the bookcase.

For that matter, though, what did Harold expect from Donna? He'd already caught her snooping once, and then that same day, she'd stopped "telling her story" after one sentence, snatched the secret diary and coerced Harold into following her outside. Why did he assume it'd be different when she came back later? (Though given that her story was about when she and Laura were in middle school and getting kissed by 20-year-old boys, I'd have been just as happy not hearing it...)

That's really cool, that scene has a lot going on that relates to Sarah Palmer's character, the expression, the cigarette, the crowding men, the fire itself. So much of the imagery in season three is surrounding Sarah, and how (Frost?) said that Sarah's story was an element in returning to the story in the first place.

I think you are being slightly revisionist in a way here because as I recall moot was really much more of an adtrw poster than a FYAD poster - I mean it's not like he had a negative post-count, I feel like I would have remembered that. His vision for 4chan wasn't really what /b/ turned into fairly rapidly. He was much more like... someone who constantly raided 2ch for memes and stuff and thought it would be a really cool idea to make an English-speaking equivalent to it. Not that any of this really matters all that much. FYAD was a hell of a lot more insular, elitist, clique-like and stupid back then than anyone really prefers to remember. I know that was "the point" but the fact that they hounded out literally anyone but posters who had been hand-selected by them as being "cool enough" kind of revealed the whole thing as the stupid pile of bullshit and untalented white male losers it always was.

FYAD is a latin forum

idk if it's actually called twin peaks fest, but it's at Graceland on Halloween and will have a bunch of props from the show, panels with the actors, twin peaks themed dinners, and Chrysta Bell is gonna perform

It was already rescheduled from earlier this year, so hopefully it happens. My wife and I got seats next to each other and the seat numbers leave a gap in between so I guess they're spacing them out at least. Graceland is also fuckin huge

Just finished watching season 3 with my wife. I had never watched the final episode before for some reason and drat, it was... something alright. I have so many questions but most of all I'd like to know what the deal is with Audrey. Is there a fan consensus where she is/what's going on with her? Initially I thought she was still in a coma and woke up, but actually when she "wakes up" it doesn't really seem to be the case. Maybe a mental institution?

The Mark Frost follow-up The Final Dossier has answers to that question, just in case you want to read it on your own. I actually really appreciated it as a little dessert to the show

We just watched the last two eps of season 2 last night, and yeah, wow. I didn't think the middle part was as bad as I was warned (though it's clearly lower quality, and I am relieved that James's terrible subplot was so terrible that he was gone forever after it), but I'm trying to decide if the finale was the actual best episode of the series, or if it just feels that way after such a long stretch of mediocre episodes.

The cool thing about TP s1 was that there wasn't really anything like it at the time -- shot on film instead of tape with mostly filmic production quality instead of the television status quo, surrealism, actual movie stars as characters. In a way it was the first "prestige" show, or at least paved the way for prestige tv. The original run of TP influenced television for the next decade+

Without providing any spoilers, I think TP s3 will have a similar influence. It's at least as far ahead of its time w/r/t production and presentation as the original run was. And there's one episode that I still to this day can not believe actually aired. I have never seen anything like it on tv and rarely in film.

Make sure to post your thoughts throughout. Season 3 is wild. I'd say more but I'm wary of overselling it, not because it won't live up to the expectations I set, but because it feels way different from the old seasons and because you really need to have the whole season in your mind to start to understand what Lynch was going for.

Also, make sure to watch Fire Walk With Me before you start season 3. It is as important to season 3 as the original seasons are.

Seeing that episode for the first time was pure magic. I have never experienced a TV or movie experience that incredible. This is not hyperbole either, its an amazing and indescribable experience. Lots of other great moments in s3 too, and lets make sure not to spoil it for the pastor.

We're watching FWWM next week and The Missing Pieces the week after, just to be complete.

I appreciate everyone trying to avoid spoiling me! I've learned one or two things I'd have preferred not to just by unthinkingly moving my mouse over a spoiler.
