The correct order to view Twin Peaks in is actually Blue Velvet > Fire Walk With Me > The International Version of the Pilot > Any given Let's Play of Silent Hill 2 > Deadly Premonition (Xbox 360 version) > Eraserhead > Inland Empire

This will provide the best viewing experience IMO.

Wow, this is such a dumb troll. Lost Highway is obviously the penultimate viewing, and then you watch Island Empire. Are you trying to get people confused or....what?

Is there a consensus we can come to as to when FWWM takes place? Is it a prequel to the original series or does it take place during an alternate timeline?

My understanding is that events in the lodge exist outside of linear time. So, what's happening there can be referenced at anytime in the 'real world' narrative, because it's a different realm with different rules.

There's also Philip Jeffries disappearing in and out of time after investigating "Judy".

Well now, I'm not gonna talk about Judy. In fact, we're not gonna talk about Judy at all, we're gonna keep her out of it.

Very true, and I love that Balthazar Getty is on the new Twin Peaks cast list too. Plus Naomi Watts and whatnot of course, it's gonna be a David Lynch party.

This really excites me because pretty much every actor (excepting Michael J Anderson, presently) who's ever bothered to comment has said that working for Lynch is an inspiring dream, so at the very least we're going to get some dedicated performances, presumably no matter how small the role

although the people wondering if the real world isn't really the real world, Phil Jeffries does say "It was a dream... We live inside a dream."

Tangentially related to this - because of the video - but does anybody else think the black figure that fades away in the prision cell looks like the lumberjack looking guy above the convenience store just covered in shoe polish? At any rate, apparently that figure, whatever it is exactly, is going to show up more as the story unfolds, as per Lynch.

Lol you make a good point, but I think the omniscient view of the camera capturing the atomic bomb opening the door to pure, cosmic evil can be read as a more explicit political view of the show than just observing the characters airing their personal picadillios about society. But I don't really think "America is evil" is necassarily the point of all that anyway, I just thought the tweet was funny

*lives in america*

*somehow thinks anything they do or consume can be non-political*

No, I'm pretty in tune with the fact that everything carries a political significance, and that American cultural output has a reverberating effect given our hegemonic status. I just don't think the show's ever, as a matter of authorial intent, tried to make any explicit commentary about - and maybe this is where I went wrong - issues along partisan lines in any didactic way.

For sure all of the issues raised by the show have political weight, but it's never tried to offer any ideologically motivated answers to them that would compel you to, say, vote one way or another, or subscribe to a particular stance. It engages with issues, but it doesn't really tell you how to view them. That's just from the lens of authorial intent, there's plenty of politcal material there to comment on how it's portrayed, but I never got a sense that Lynch necessarily wanted me to feel any particular way about Tibet.

I mean, he probably does, but purely from watching the show, it just seems like a personal quirk of Cooper's.

Alright, yeah. I think I take the disgustingness underneath aspect so much for granted that I'm being too narrow with how I interpret the show as political. I'll concede I'm off base.

And I completely forgot about FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE, so basically I'm a huge idiot

Well, yeah, I just don't have the patience to argue it further in the face of the valid objections I've already had. It's as multi-layered as the show itself, and I'm just not motivated enough to press it. But I do think I was wrong, at least in so far as I didn't define what lines demarcated ideologically motivated television. Like, my mindset was interpreting Blue Bloods, and that show's politics are immensely more transparent and surface level.

Full disclosure, David Lynch once did personally tell me that Hitler did nothing wrong and that the Holomodor never happened over drinks at Bohemian Grove

I just want to add season 3 has casually dropped in other things like veterans' issues. It's definitely ventured into political territory. There's some commentary on the male gaze (maybe?) but then Lynch will have other scenes that backtrack any potential commentary, so I dunno really. The veteran stuff might just be related to his work with providing vets with transcendental meditation and he feels passionate about it, so he threw it in. It's like the unrelated music videos in the middle of the episode. It's just because he likes filming it.

I've had an epiphany mid-post. Season 3 is really just Lynch living out his dream of hosting the Late show. Political monologues, inviting all his friends for appearances, musical guests and some skits.

This is kind of what I was getting at. Sure, the show beats you over the head now and then, but in other instances it doesn't really tell you how to feel on a political level. It just presents you with the current reality. Like, it shows a psychotically strung-out mother, but it doesn't make you infer any policy initiatives from that picture. Anything you might assume is pure projection. It invokes an issue that is surely intwined with politics, but there's no suggested remedy in the depiction.

I was talkng about the "1-1-9!" lady, but your point's well taken. I think you're referring to Truman's wife? And yes, gently caress Chad.

Wasn't the whole reason the FBI was called in to investigate because Teresa Banks's body had crossed state lines? Or am I misremembering?

I think it was because Ronnette Pulaski walked into Oregon in her traumatized march, and they connected her to Laura's murder.

Edit: ^^^beaten^^^ but, yeah, I think Teresa Banks floated across state lines, too, which is why her murder also became a federal investigation

E2: or it was just a Blue Rose thing, I can't remember, but I thought Banks' body floated across state lines.
