to be clear, it is not confirmed that Forster is playing Truman:
Rumor has it that veteran actor Robert Forster has stepped in to replace Ontkean as the town’s top lawman, although it’s unclear if he will be playing Truman or a new sheriff.

eh he was clearly intended as the hearthrob, that's why he got that whole stupid Josie love affair plotline

I don't know that she won't be. I'd just be (mostly pleasantly) surprised if the actors who were only in Fire Walk With Me transitioned into the new series.
my dream opening is chris issak bewitched-style popping up in the black lodge finding cooper.

side note, this may be common knowledge but i only recently learned that Klaus Kinski's daughter had a daughter with Quincy Jones, and this is that daughter:

i went to twin peaks fest 2 years ago (which was p kewl. i met mz fenn and a bunch of other cast members) so i made friends with a bunch of the "superfan" community, so a lot of my fb feed has been pictures of them just HANGING OUT by the set all day together taking selfies. it's making me irrationally angry, like wtf let the people work you don't have to be there while the thing is being filmed. i couldnt imagine just hanging out all day while john cassavetes was making a movie taking selfies. this goes into a deeper conversation about how fans of things think they own the thing they are a fan of and they are special snowflakes that should get to be there while the thing is being filmed because they are the most passionate or w/e but god it makes me mad.

I have a feeling that people who are that precious about it are bound to be huuuuugely disappointed by whatever insane thing Lynch ultimately puts out.

Was really looking forward to more scenes with Truman and Albert Rosenfield and then thought - has Miguel Ferrer been spotted?
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 9 October 2015 19:08 (eight years ago) link
It just occurred to me how admirably Miguel Ferrer has avoided cashing his chips and riding his cousin's coattails to a William Mapother-esque career.

it's kind of weird how no one aside from McLachlan has really been confirmed for this; if shooting started already aren't people being seen in the area? Are they hiding out in disguise? Have no actual actors shown up yet?

I hope the series starts with Donna's funeral

tons of ppl have been seen and have been confirmed thats why we were all like "wow its amazing everyone is coming back"

I keep just seeing "only mclachlan is confirmed to return" so who is the full list? IMDB lists:
dana ashbrookkyle mclachlansherilyn fennkimmy robertsonsheryl lee
and that's it for returning people for more than one episode. a crapload of others are listed for 1 episode only but it seems like just the complete list of original cast, to me, so that seems all pretty unlikely.
new people:

that wordless ontkean close-up in "the descendants" was so odd. it's obvious that he probably had a smallish speaking role that was trimmed out in the editing.

what happens to audrey at the end of the show is somewhat ambiguous i guess but i feel like not really?
SPOILER ALERT
that was a p big explosion she was very close to

Almost off-topic but I was very disappointed to find out recently that Lynch's transcendental meditation thing is not just a relaxation/concentration technique but a full-blown moneymaking cult. Not nearly the craziest or evilest cult but still pretty loopy and dodgy. Of course it's been going on long before him but it's sad that he's contributing to it.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 9 October 2015 22:35 (eight years ago) link
xpost I think it stands a very good chance of being good. I think it also stands the chance, however, of not closely resembling classic Twin Peaks.

From what I've seen and read there is quite a lot paying to learn things that could be done for free. And the promise of magic powers.

they're not dhamma.org but they're largely non-profit and there's no dogma, there's no isolating practitioners from their families/lives, there's no hierarchies based on abuse, there's no indoctrination etc.
I mean, they're pretty harmless. Complaining that they make money from their activities is legit imo, (if you don't think religions should charge people for things, which I happen to agree with), but again with these types of organization the line between religion and idk "educational" outfit is pretty blurry.

it works for Lynch (obviously) so I don't really gaf personally
Maharishi was always a bit of a suspect figure and anything that has Mike Love as a core supporter is suspect to me.
― akm, Friday, 9 October 2015 22:54 (eight years ago) link
although if Mike Love showed up on twin peaks as some kind of deranged creature from the black lodge or some woodlands dweller with a basement full of corpses, I'd like him a lot more.

I've mostly read this by a former teacher of transcendental meditation. He makes the whole thing sound pretty sinister.

Ya'll seen the documentary about Lynch and TM, David Wants to Fly? It'll give you the heebie-jeebies about the Maharishi, and, sadly, Lynch. Also I grew up in the Iowa town the Maharishi university is and I assure you, it is aggressively weird there.
― The Thnig, Saturday, 10 October 2015 04:05 (eight years ago) link
I've practiced tm on and off for 25 years (I wish I could be more consistent with it bc it def works for me) without interacting with Maharishi corp at all (after paying a couple hundred bucks to learn the technique at the beginning). I'm definitely a booster of the technique itself but not all the stuff that comes along with it which is super gross to me.

so is sherilynn fenn back or not? she's been silent on FB, on twitter she said she's back filming "shameless" where it was nice to work with people who treated her professionally; and someone else told her that her temper tantrums weren't helping her career. It's a little unfathomable to me that they would consider the show without her.
― akm, Monday, 26 October 2015 04:06 (eight years ago) link
If she's not doing TP, it'll be pretty easy to explain what happened to Audrey, since we never found out whether she died in that explosion in the penultimate episode. And I guess they're gonna use the same reason to explain why Pete isn't around anymore.
