it's like everyone is now a plot device in "their" "new" "stories"
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 15 April 2016 21:33 (eight years ago) link
A straight S1 vs S2 comparison isn't terribly fair, considering S1 had 8 episodes (including pilot) and S2 had 22.
IMO it makes more sense to think of S2 as 3 separate seasons, with S2 ending either at the Lynch directed reveal or 2 eps later with Leland's death, S3 the much hated middle stretch, and S4 beginning around when Cole returns and Cooper gets his suit back.
Taken that way, S2 is just as good if not better than S1, S3 mostly sucks and S4 is not as bad as S3 but with a superb ending.

i think we can get even more granular here. start rating these episodes by the minute
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 15 April 2016 21:35 (eight years ago) link
that s2 would absolutely be better than s1.And it's about as long iirc
xxxp, sorry, bad writing. when I said the creators "ditched them", I meant the writers (by withdrawing from the show). After the two main storylines had been scotched by the network (murder mystery) and a couple of the actors (romance)

(as in, the creators ditched the writers)
― Kevin Ageusia Smith (wins), Friday, 15 April 2016 21:40 (eight years ago) link
That's how it felt to me anyway, the huge drop in quality comes straight after Leland's death, that's when the fast forward buttons started getting used during my rewatch.
If not for the season ending cliffhangers in the first season, if I watched the series all the way through with no prior knowledge and was asked "where do you think S1 ended and S2 began?", the funeral episode and subsequent sub-plot explosion would be my guess.

Worst ongoing plotline in the second season of Twin Peaks (SPOILERS)

Ahh. Windom Earle was set up pretty well. Seemed really dark and mysterious... and then he shows up.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 April 2016 03:32 (eight years ago) link
the worst bit of twin peaks is anything to do with the Packards. I always want to die when those bits start happening.
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Saturday, 16 April 2016 03:32 (eight years ago) link
I like wyndham's disguises. especially the scene where he dresses as a librarian.
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Saturday, 16 April 2016 03:33 (eight years ago) link
Ha. I link to that ILX "worst TP subplot" thread was included in the recent Pitchfork review for the Xiu Xiu plays Twin Peaks record.
Cool album too btw.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 April 2016 03:35 (eight years ago) link
Agree about the Packards. Bored by that always in S1 and S2.

"uh what? the creators were forced to reveal the killer due to studio pressure i thought"
oddly, these days, I think network tv wouldn't do that. that awful show pretty little liars staggered along for something like 6 seasons before revealing the killer, apparently (and when they did everyone was pissed).

been following the dugpa site message board; filming wrapped on season3 (and season4, it sounds like...and showtime is actually saying 'the first two seasons of the revival' so maybe there will be even more to come). Audrey returned; she posted a photo in costume on FB a few weeks ago. Been a few interesting leaked set photos but no major spoilers.
― akm, Saturday, 16 April 2016 14:34 (eight years ago) link
oh except that Robert Forster is playing Truman.
Splitting what they filmed so far into two seasons is ok

Had been looking at but stopped when it became spoilery
― Kevin Ageusia Smith (wins), Saturday, 16 April 2016 16:13 (eight years ago) link
other than a few casting things and a couple of shots of scenes (one at a particular house, involving two particular people) almost nothing has leaked that tells you very much at all. I'm impressed how well Lynch and Co have kept a lid on this.

Biggest surprises: No Michael Anderson; Duchovney is back!; Catherine Coulson !.

i had forgotten that michael cera was involved, but trent reznor is as well!?
― Karl Malone, Monday, 25 April 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link
Coulson got to film some scenes before she passed? Really glad to hear that.
― circa1916, Monday, 25 April 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link
also no Moira Kelly or Lara Flynn Boyle so I guess Donna is dead; or recast again.
― akm, Monday, 25 April 2016 17:41 (eight years ago) link
Monica Bellucci!
― akm, Monday, 25 April 2016 17:43 (eight years ago) link
Eddie Vedder is taking over as Donna iirc.
― Your Ass Is Grass And I Will Mow It With My Face (Old Lunch), Monday, 25 April 2016 17:48 (eight years ago) link
I saw this on the list:
Makinen, KarlMalone
and I was briefly elated but ultimately deflated once I realized it was just a conflation in my brain.
Max Perlich is a good choice. Wish Lynch had utilized him back in the '90s.

Brett Gelman is a fantastic Lynch casting decision.

Gelman is v predictable casting since he is on every show ever now
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 25 April 2016 19:47 (eight years ago) link
A little bewildered that they're bringing back Duchovny as Denise, but apart from the casting that subplot was less gross than it could have been, given the state of representation in the 90s.
― one way street, Monday, 25 April 2016 19:49 (eight years ago) link
My prediction is that Cera will play Andy and Lucy's son.
― Chris L, Monday, 25 April 2016 19:50 (eight years ago) link
i missed a bunch of other names as well:
Among the names are a number of notable musicians, including Trent Reznor, his wife/How to Destroy Angels bandmate Mariqueen Maandig Reznor, Nine Inch Nails' Robin Finck, Sky Ferreira, Eddie Vedder, Sharon Van Etten, and Chromatics' Ruth Radelet. Lynch will appear in the series, too. Update (3:22 p.m.): The members of Au Revoir Simone (Annie Hart, Erika Forster, and Heather D'Angelo) have been confirmed as well.
