Yeah, I certainly have no expectations of Lynch maintaining a level of narrative continuity consistent with the original series.

Nah, I heard he fired the cast & crew and is doing everything himself. His Audrey is supposedly a showstopper.

The point isn't "hey did you know that television is a collaborative art form" it's that the other co-creator of the show has and will continue to have a huge influence on how the story is told
― the enigma of dagmar krause (wins), Thursday, 18 August 2016 15:35 (seven years ago) link
"will continue"? idk how you know that. He's got a cowriter credit for the whole thing but who knows if he's involved in the editing/directing/final cut at all
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 18 August 2016 15:40 (seven years ago) link
anyway my point was only that it's highly unusual and fortunate that someone like Lynch is getting his projects backed and bankrolled and distributed by people who are eager to stay out of the creative process. that's a rare opportunity.

Lynch has always emphasised frost's role, especially recently - on the blu-Ray he said twin peaks is "at least 50% Mark - at least" or words to that effect. I'm pretty sure he's also said that frost is the one who had the initial idea that the new series is based around, plus the guy's written a twin peaks novel in the meantime, I doubt he took a hands-off role during filming and am reasonably sure he'll have some influence on post-production

ok, well, you were right, the rumor is now def that Forster is playing Truman's brother Frank Truman. This brother figures heavily in Frost's book that just came out.
― akm, Thursday, 27 October 2016 21:18 (seven years ago) link
also, I like the book, but man there are some angry people who have found inconsistencies in it
― akm, Thursday, 27 October 2016 21:29 (seven years ago) link
There were consistencies in Twin Peaks?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 27 October 2016 21:32 (seven years ago) link
the episodes were consistently 46-47 minutes long, except for the season premieres and finales. BEAT THAT.
― I look forward to hearing from you shortly, (Karl Malone), Thursday, 27 October 2016 21:35 (seven years ago) link
lol when the new show drops there's gonna be so much salt from people whining about plotholes
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 27 October 2016 21:42 (seven years ago) link
well, these are things in the book that are inconsistent with the series; such as ed and nadine's entire story of meeting (which I don't remember from the show at all); ben turning good and opposing ghostwood (which I do remember...apparently this didn't happen in the book) and the reason Audrey goes to the bank; and the names of some minor relations (who cares).
― akm, Thursday, 27 October 2016 21:43 (seven years ago) link
leak: in the new twin peaks, all episodes are 6 seconds long, except for the premiere and finale, which are 17 hours each
― I look forward to hearing from you shortly, (Karl Malone), Thursday, 27 October 2016 21:44 (seven years ago) link

I started watching with S2 two decades ago, loved it, but never went back to watch S1.
Re: inconsistencies, I realise one of the advantages of the old show, pre-Internet, was that the producers were basically "this is what happened, deal with it." "Lump it" Show doesn't align with the Dale Cooper's Autobiography? Tough. Josie's a doorknob now? LUMP IT
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 28 October 2016 14:13 (seven years ago) link
true, but you'd think that someone who helped write all that stuff in the first place might want to stick with it for the book. speculation that there is actually a reason for the inconsistencies though
― akm, Friday, 28 October 2016 14:48 (seven years ago) link
My educated guess is that the inconsistencies are part frost being up to something, part light retconning cause he feels like it and part actual forgetfulness re the finer details; all of which are fine by me and the better if they have nerds foaming at the mouth.
This brother figures heavily in Frost's book that just came out.
I mean he's mentioned like twice, and briefly?
― did we ever get wizz sorted (wins), Friday, 28 October 2016 15:13 (seven years ago) link
Also characterising Norma's mom as a mere "minor relation" makes me think you have forgotten all about how she unexpectedly comes to stay, with new husband Ernie Niles in tow, and later writes a rather scathing review of the double r diner under the pseudonym mt wentz. That put a few noses out of joint!

Reading the frost book. Past the Area 51 style stuff (I hate UFO nonsense) and firmly into the twin peaks part. If the menu from the R&R diner is from the period of Cooper (which seems to be implied) their prices are crazy! $4.00 for 2 eggs?

I've been slogging through the depths of season 2. Among the highlights:
Weasel-camI appreciate Diane Keaton throwing lots of visual distractions into a James-heavy episode.There doesn't seem to be much fallout from Cooper shooting a dude while under investigation for involvement in the deaths of several people.Despite the ludicrous explanation of Denise's self-discovery, Cooper's a solid model for how to behave when a friend comes out as trans.Newspaper headline reads "Asian Man Killed!!"
― JoeStork, Monday, 9 January 2017 22:36 (seven years ago) link

― wins, Monday, 9 January 2017 23:35 (seven years ago) link
Denise is a funny one, good by the standards of the time and I love the character and duchovny's performance but at the same time yeah there are a few too many *shakes head, chuckles indulgently* reaction shots and I would have liked a recast in c21. Hawk's bigoted wariness has always felt real to me tho, generally thought her treatment was a lot better than you might expect from the creators of tojemura and "Asian man killed!"
