I guess it's not so much that all these plots are dumb as such, but that most of the characters in them were previously involved in other plots that were a lot more engaging, and it all comes down to resolving Laura's murder and removing the show's central mystery again. This is probably gonna show a lack of attention on my part, but who shot Cooper at the end of S1, anyway? I must have missed where they come back to that. Which, uh, they did, right?

Josie shot Cooper. IIRC she was worried that he would catch on to the shenanigans with the Sawmill.

Origami Dali posted:The original Earle dialogue in the script for the final episode is so drat awful. It came close to being the ultimate wet fart ending to a show that had fallen completely apart. Thank god Lynch came back and threw most of that poo poo out. Is the script easily available anywhere?

I had the same reaction. Luckily one of my buddies was watching through for the first time and we watched a couple episodes together and it clicked.

In fact, it's kinda turned me around on this phase of season 2 - it's totally worth it sitting through the B-plots just to see Diane Keaton, of all people, come in and turn the goofiness up to 11 to wrap them all up. She really gets it, and I wish she'd directed more episodes, cause this is one of the best in the show. In a way, season 2 is like having three seasons the length of season 1. Season 2.1 is 9 episodes on wrapping up the mystery of Laura's murder, for better or worse, 2.2 is 6 episodes of fairly aimless rambling with a pretty great wrapup, and now there's 2.3, with 7 more episodes about... I can't even remember, to be honest. But I sure remember how it ends. So what's with the mayor's brother? I'm not really interested in getting into the books.

In The Secret History at least, he was basically Fox Mulder as a World War II veteran. He even gets tangled up in the Roswell, New Mexico shenanigans and eventually ends up as a part of Project Blue Book. He worked under Nixon for a while and is retired by time the TV show begins.

I completely forgot about Little Nicky just as I had forgotten all about the mayor brother plot. They are bad, but forgettable Jamie' plot with the wife is so bad and made me so mad I just cant forget about it, I remember it all, all the little details, all the boredom and annoyance I felt Im was so happy that in The Return Jamie is a total loser and is only there to introduce us to the awesome glove kid

S2E16: I think I want the goofy storylines back. e: at E17 and I might seriously skip to the finale here. Earle's disguises are dumb and John Justice Wheeler is dumb and the pine weasel is dumb. My Lovely Horse fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Feb 26, 2018 |

Great song (had never heard this cover before but it suits this material to a T) and it... really evoked season 3 for me in a meaningful way. That is to say, watching this gave me a visceral reaction; the part with the mirror was especially good as was the beginning with all the sitting postures of Maclachlan shot from different angles and as different characters edited together. A good original music video like this should evoke the original content (Twin Peaks S3 here) and make you want to watch it again, while staying within the spirit of that content and not cheapening it or turning it into something else. Plus a certain level of professionalism and skill on display. Normally I never watch these kinds of things because they pretty much never live up to those standards... but yours did  I'm honestly a bit awed.

E18: Show's going all Indiana Jones on me all of a sudden. I believe this the first official occurrence of the symbol on the green ring. Briefly wondered why Hawk tells the sheriff "you don't ever want to know about that" in S3 when they were both right there in the cave, then remembered that wasn't Harry, which I guess speaks for Robert Forster? Storylines are getting weirdly tolerable, maybe I'm just getting desensitized, but compared to the intrigue of season 1 and early season 2, every familiar character still feels like they're being wasted. James did good to get out of there. I keep expecting Windom Earle to tie one of those girls to the railroad tracks. Was he at least a mysterious charismatic villain in the context of the early 90s or did he pretty much fail to live up to expectations then already?

Figures. One thing I do enjoy is Donna's consistent gimmick of a late-bloomer teen detective who keeps finding out stuff that she really should have left alone. They should have involved her in the lodge investigations as a capstone.

That brought up a lot of emotions for me, some about Miguel but also just reminding how good The Return was, and the sacrifices people made to be in it, and how it completely paid off.

Escobarbarian posted:That brought up a lot of emotions for me, some about Miguel but also just reminding how good The Return was, and the sacrifices people made to be in it, and how it completely paid off. I totally feel the same way. It reminded just how incredibly... special that entire season truly was. The fact that it exists at all in the first place, for one. The fact that it was one of those incredibly rare things where it did feel cosmically aligned. It was 25 years later in the show, 25 years later (more or less) in real life, and all the returning actors were still perfect for their characters, and because Lynch directed everything there was a sort of internal rhyrhm to the episodes; a narrative promise from Lynch, because we knew he was going to wrap up certain things and maybe resolve or introduce some unexpected things, but we didn't know how. I liked how the end us brought us back to the beginning/the center of the story and then moved beyond that in episode 18. I have to say that I've yet to do a full rewatch yet. I want to gain about a year's distance from the material because when I do a rewatch it will have to be a FULL rewatch - seasons 1-2 and FWWM + missing pieces and then Season 3. I'm almost frightened though, because season 3 evoked so many intensely felt emotions and feelings within me that were linked to FWWM. It was actually very odd in a way... Season 3 did not really, truly deal as explicitly or directly as FWWM did with the *core* of the series in my opinion, that core being the abuse inflicted upon Laura both by others and by herself. You know, to me FWWM was like a lens that transformed all the great parts of Twin Peaks that came before it, and cast it in this deeply human and tragic light that, to me, is a huge reason why the Pilot and the original series (up to *that point* and plus the finale...) always remained so poignant and timeless.

E19 which means I'm coming up on the gold set's last DVD (with episodes), feeling the lure of the finale, and I'm honestly not sure what the two episodes before could add to the plotlines. Feels like all the pieces are on the board already.

Well, I made one final push, and I'm through. Was a bit rough going towards the end, I don't mind telling you. I strongly disliked the goofy mid-S2 storylines while they were going on, but in retrospect and in light of their wrapup, I'd much rather have them than 6 episodes of pageant setup. Lynch's finale was obviously great, but special mention has to go to Sarah Palmer giving Major Briggs a message from out of the Lodge. Did that gain a new layer of meaning or what. e: oh and also, when Coop's doppelgänger wakes up at the end, we only see him for a minute or two, but even then MacLachlan gives him exactly the same cold stoic demeanor he does in The Return. I don't have any big end-of-project statements to make, I did that all over the course of the past few weeks, and anyway it's Twin Peaks, we all know how it goes. I'm also not gonna jump right into The Return and I don't think I'll post much about it when I do because again, I did that along with everyone else when it was going on last year. But there is one thing left. I've never actually seen Fire Walk With Me. My Lovely Horse fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Mar 4, 2018 |
