Not on my part, but it's a shame she became a plastic surgery victim (and I'd feel that way for woman/man/anyone else).

i know we're mainly talking about the revival now but has it been discussed ITT how weird it is that donna slingshots back and forth between episodes without apparent reason between Femme Fatale Cartoon and Angel in Distress?
the whole opening episode of season 2 i was like "what.....happened to donna last night?"
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 20:27 (nine years ago) link
and james even comments on it to maddy at one point like "what's going on with donna, she's different" and then they never really acknowledge it again
badly written character imo

I'm starting to wonder about the soundtrack, if they'll keep the old tunes or have new versions or something completely original.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link
My soundtrack prediction is: lots of Rammstein.

^^ Perfect for the '90s.

iirc donna starts doing cartoon femme fatale--the sunglasses, the cigarettes, the absurd pauses--only after maddy shows up? in competitive response to the sudden reappearance-in-form of james' totem, i always thought. trying to be a bad girl like laura, or like someone in invitation to love. "what's going on with donna" is a pretty funny line. she is still inconsistent to the point of surreal, yeah, but it is a surreal show. donna's a pretty thankless role by s2 tho.

I think that veering of donnas was supposed to be deliberately jarring like the fake ass bird in blue velvet.

I think Laura's sunglasses are implicated in her behavioral shift.

hope they bring back Donna's sisters too
― JoeStork, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 21:51 (nine years ago) link
I'm gonna see this just cos I would see almost anything David Lynch does, but I really thought the end of Season 2 was the best possible way to go out. Always felt like if you needed more you watched FWWM and moved on.

A thing: Even though season two finished in 91, wasn't the whole thing supposed to take place over a month after the pilot, ie. still in 90? SO SHOULDN'T THE SHOW RETURN IN 2015? God dammit, these creators aren't even REAL FANS LIKE ME, are they?
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 22:02 (nine years ago) link
even though the pilot aired in 1990, it actually took place in 91, the first season was a dispatch from the future

It's funny how pretty much all dialog taking place in the Black Lodge is obfuscated nonsense and backwards talk yet this "25 years" thing is meant to be taken literally.

I don't really care who they grab from the original cast just as long as they don't resort to horrible stunt casting like 'Now playing Bob ... James Franco.'
― jbn, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 00:15 (nine years ago) link
ugh
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 00:50 (nine years ago) link
don't say that
Somehow I can easier imagine Dangermouse, Karen O or Louis CK being stunt casted.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 00:57 (nine years ago) link
Louis CK as Bob? Yeah fair enough.
― Merdeyeux, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 01:02 (nine years ago) link
the fathers of Zooey Deschanel and the Gyllenhaals directed episodes of the original series, maybe they can call in some favors!
― Raccoon Newsy Wewsies (some dude), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 02:31 (nine years ago) link
mary jo deschanel was also a regular cast member

one of the sisters was also one of the deschanels, no? or someone. can't remember.

Alicia Witt was the piano playing sister.

she is also good in one of the two david lynch Hotel Room episodes he directed.
She was also Alia Artreideshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E4dYyQA0bo

maybe she'll be in the new twin peaks

i could watch an entire movie of sylvana mangano making pained facial expressions
― clouds, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 03:43 (nine years ago) link
I keep visualizing Peter Bogdanovich (with ascot) or Michael J. Nelson (as Jack Perkins) hosting a one-hour special in the red room summarizing all of Peaks before the S3 premiere
― Brakhage, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 04:07 (nine years ago) link
And I hope they do because I'm not sure I can face watching S2 again

If I recall, Audrey had maybe been blown to smithereens at the end of the series.
Yeah, I was alluding to this upthread when I said they had an explanation for why Pete is not there anymore... He and Audrey were inside the bank in the penultimate episode when it exploded, but when Lynch returned to do the final episode, he threw away the script, so inexplicably the bank explosion or Pete and Audrey's fate isn't even mentioned in the finale. The same applies to Ben Horne, who may or may not have been killed by Doc Hayward in a fight, but when the Doc appears later on, there's no mention of the fight or what happened to Ben. I know a lot of people laud the finale as the auteur's return of whatever, and it certainly has its moments, but IMO it was still a shitty thing for Lynch to totally ignore the fate of major characters in favour of 25 minutes of Red Room wankery.
As for the dead characters/actors, I'd say the most obvious choice to play Bob would be Ray Wise, no? That way there's be an excuse to bring him back, and it wouldn't feel so alienating to see Bob with a completely new face. And the could easily explain by saying that Bob like to take the face of his previous victim.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 07:19 (nine years ago) link
Bank scenes take place in the last episode.
Also:
I'm gonna see this just cos I would see almost anything David Lynch does, but I really thought the end of Season 2 was the best possible way to go out.
Totally. Cooper possessed by BOB was a perfect ending.

seriously hoping for more more Chris Isaak as Agent Chester Desmond. although i guess he's dead iirc.

Rashida Jones' mom was a cast member, too! Peggy Lipton. I wonder if any other parents of sitcom staples were on Twin Peaks?

"breastaurant"
This is the most disgusting word.
― jmm, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 13:46 (nine years ago) link
that he was distracted from TP by making the slop that was Wild at Heart is tragicomic, tho
Isn't this all a bit of a myth about TP? Something that people use to explain away the drop in quality in S2? I thought he'd already started to step away by midway through S1 and that Frost drove a lot of the actual writing. I don't think he was considerably less involved in mid-S2 as he was in the latter half of S1. And of course Lynch actually turns up onscreen in a chunk of S2.

There's one of those Twin Peaks breastaurants around the corner from my work, but I've managed to avoid it so far.
― Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 14:26 (nine years ago) link
Lawsuits[edit]In 2009, the parent company of Twin Peaks sued a competitor in a Texas Federal Court. The plaintiffs alleged their competitor planned to open a chain of competing "breastaurants" named "Northern Exposure" which used waitress uniforms similar to those of Twin Peaks.[11]
