Regarding the Sarah-Judy connection discussed and partially dismissed at times above: I don't think Judy is Sarah or even is in Sarah, but, as was also discussed earlier in this thread, Sarah's grief may have opened her up to some type of influence/connection. I remain very skeptical about the idea of the girl in New Mexico being Sarah; instead, what kind of sold me on the idea that there is a Sarah-Judy connection is the very fact that Cooper makes such a point of bringing Laura (?) to her mother, which in the context of the finale very much strikes me as an attempt to fulfill the somewhat mysterious plan to access Judy that Gordon hints at at the start of Part 17. "Saving" Laura and challenging Judy: two birds with one stone! It's all bound to remain speculation though, and it's not a hill I'd wanna die on, given the beautiful radical openness of the finale.

What year is this?
I may want to revisit TP in 2-3 years but I feel like it's ended. I'd rather see a new Lynch project.
I really enjoyed the baffled thing that akm posted (thanks) but for now and for a long while, I'm out. Adios!

I'm kinda the opposite - never got the "I'm less interested in new twin peaks than new lynch" thing, the appeal was equally both to me. Now, though, it feels done. And a lot of the point of the return had to do with the quarter-century gap between sequel and antecedent.
I mean I'm not gonna pretend I wouldn't show up for this lol
― streeps of range (wins), Thursday, 14 September 2017 06:29 (seven years ago) link
yeah, i'm with you, i would show up for just about anything now! i feel like a dick but the return, inland empire, and mulholland drive are my three favorites of his.the original twin peaks, eraserhead, blue velvet, and lost highway aren't far behind. but that's really something, i think, to be able to convince at least one person that your last three major projects in a fairly long career and distinguished career are your best. and i bet that i'm not alone there.
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 14 September 2017 06:33 (seven years ago) link
Yeah totally!
It'd be really fanservicey but I dream of a Dougie spinoff that follows the joneses and the Mitchums and the andies and the fuscos and lucky 7. Dougie2 would have all OG dougie's memories but none of dale's so he wouldn't remember any of his interactions with the casino people, leading to much confusion and frustration.
― streeps of range (wins), Thursday, 14 September 2017 07:07 (seven years ago) link
haha, that would be really anti-fanservicey, or maybe servicing a totally different set of fans. he should do another 30 minute sitcom of Dougie's life.
― akm, Thursday, 14 September 2017 12:47 (seven years ago) link
Should be called a Doug's life obv

Lol. Maybe I mean fanfictiony then - although in my bubble those are all fan favourites, even if some were frustrated with sleepwalking Cooper
― streeps of range (wins), Thursday, 14 September 2017 14:49 (seven years ago) link
If the original series proves anything it's that every aspect of this that irritated current viewers will be amongst the most beloved by ongoing cultists by 2030 and anyone who cared about coop will be by that cabal considered a philistine out for cheap thrills at the expense of a bold new art
Offered without judgement tbh

Interesting that it's not called "the return"
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 14 September 2017 17:37 (seven years ago) link
I have mixed feelings about seeing it explicitly referred to as "the third season" and not The Return. (xp!)
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 14 September 2017 17:37 (seven years ago) link
yeah me too, wtf? "The Return" as a title & theme seems essential to this series. but christ, can't complain about that turnaround. 3 months! i thought it would be a year at least
― flappy bird, Thursday, 14 September 2017 17:40 (seven years ago) link
hilarious that it's THE THIRD SEASON on the blu-ray
― mh, Thursday, 14 September 2017 17:41 (seven years ago) link
lynch deflates everyone who was putting deep meaning into "the return" as a title
at least it's not THE FINAL SEASON
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 14 September 2017 17:42 (seven years ago) link
Well it was always just "Twin Peaks" in the credits.

tbf this quote from the president of Showtime did exactly that: "the core of [the series] is Agent Cooper's odyssey back to Twin Peaks"

It is the third season guys. More intrigued by "a time presents itself".

Weird so many people still think there will be a fourth season. Best thing about the finale is that it slammed the door shut on any possibility of continuing the series. He pretty much burned that whole universe to the ground.

That's something that the log lady says in part 2: "the stars turn and a time presents itself". It was used as the description for that ep and the title of the first version of this thread comes from this
― streeps of range (wins), Thursday, 14 September 2017 19:32 (seven years ago) link
I'd missed the last bit, thanks. (though I just realised I've gone through the whole of TR without knowing any of the episode descriptions)
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 14 September 2017 19:34 (seven years ago) link
they're just lines from each episode and on the whole don't actually illuminate anything and in some cases sound more important than they wound up being
― akm, Thursday, 14 September 2017 19:52 (seven years ago) link
I had a tangential connection to the marketing of the show here and Showtime were adamant that it was not to be referred to as a "season" in any marketing materials. Also you had to call them "parts" rather than episodes.
― Number None, Thursday, 14 September 2017 19:58 (seven years ago) link
It may have something to do w/ CBS Entertainment releasing the blu-ray set. Their rights to the previous seasons might be structured differently than Showtime's.
