Even if it’s bad or loses money, it’s guaranteed to be culturally significant in a way that has to have some kind of estimable dollar valuation.

Man, gently caress Netflix for depriving us of another David Lynch show. I'm glad he's still enjoying his artwork and music, though. It's good for him to have creative outlets, whatever they may be.

Would you be my new best friends?

The algorithm told the Netflix Execs,"I reviewed David Lynch's pitch and I have no idea what it's about or what is going on or what it all means" so they passed on it, and then the algorithm said,"Why did you pass on the David Lynch thing? I told you it sounded excellent!"

Well hoot, I don't know if I can say no to that
Project Wisteria, The Happy Worker, Snootworld, Unrecorded Night. The next 15 years are going to be an endless cycle of David Lynch announcing projects that get scrapped followed by new announced projects. This will continue until he dies or we do

I think it was discussed earlier in this thread, but the Nextlander podcast did a bunch of episodes on seasons 1 and 2 of Twin Peaks. Then they took a break, but they just released an episode on Fire Walk With Me and they're supposed to be watching/doing episodes on The Return soon.

e: They also put out a bonus episode on The Missing Pieces!

I didn't think Netflix ever said no to a show. Might cancel after 1 season, but usually fund it.

They filmed an entire season of an adaptation of Matt Wagner’s comic Grendel and then refused to show it and either shelved or destroyed it for the tax gains. No idea if it was good or bad.

About a page late but my take on the ending was less that it was about Coop's own tragic flaw, and more, well.
There's a line in season 2 from one of the crummy Windom Earle bits that actually always stuck with me and is fantastic. When he's torturing Briggs, Earle asks him what most scares him in the world. "The possibility that love is not enough."

Love was not enough. The world is so rotten and awful that even Coop, very nearly a love elemental, is ultimately incapable of truly defeating Judy or saving everyone. We've broken the world with our bad behavior, and now it is too late to put the pieces back together.

I’m still haunted by the way David Bowie says, “we live inside a dream,” 30 years later. What more could I want? Making sense can’t top that, which isn’t to say that there aren’t ideas or claims about the world and life in Twin Peaks.

Anybody got that clip handy, the one where Lynch says too many people fixate on the hole and forget about the donut?

Unironically, yes. Part of why the network's insistence that Lynch reveal who killed Laura Palmer was so ill-conceived. The mystery was the excuse to introduce the characters and their soap opera nonsense which was the real meat of the show and what won over audiences.

They failed to realize that the real White Lodge was the fictional characters we met along the way.

It's wild because actual soap operas on the same networks would get literal decades out of plot points that were way less interesting than Twin Peaks' macguffin. At least that's what I assume from background watching my mother's/grandmother's "stories" growing up.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

It is kinda funny because the solution was extremely well done but they just were not ready to churn out another dozen episodes
