Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

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'm with matthewK on all of that

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

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.

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.

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.

Should be called a Doug's life obv

Hell, I'd be down for Seven Figures Gettng Sick.

that one bugs me but only bc i don't get the ulysses summary

yes, Berman's tossed-in Joyce comparison is a weird false note ... except for that, her article is a good post mortem and a relief from all the puzzle-solving

Dougie's People

The Dougie Years

Lol. Maybe I mean fanfictiony then - although in my bubble those are all fan favourites, even if some were frustrated with sleepwalking Cooper

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

*fastens a series of pins depicting the french woman slowly leaving cole's hotel room to tote bag* i cannot wait for the new season of twin peaks

mm hmm

very cool cover imo

that's great

Interesting that it's not called "the return"

I have mixed feelings about seeing it explicitly referred to as "the third season" and not The Return. (xp!)

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

hilarious that it's THE THIRD SEASON on the blu-ray

lynch deflates everyone who was putting deep meaning into "the return" as a title

at least it's not THE FINAL SEASON

Well it was always just "Twin Peaks" in the credits.

Cover should have been nothing but a Jim Belushi close-up

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".

along with the importance of the number 8 & infinity & the eternal return. w/e this shits boring who cares xp

season 8 will explain all

Season 834, in which Audrey will dance the Infinity Waltz (∞ 3/4), is when all will be revealed

The Infinity Waltz is my favorite Porcupine Tree album

The blu-ray should have had a Captain America: Civil War-esque cover w/ various characters facing off:
Freddie/Bob
Dougie/Mr. C
Audrey/Charlie
Drunk/Chad
Jerry/his foot

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.

lol @ Jerry/his foot

and his killer binoculars

Happened to run across these photos today, it's from 2014. Trump et al. Golden shovels. Jerry's anti-gov ranting. Could it be?

omg

Seems a cert tbh

the golden shovel thing is a 'breaking ground' thing, not specific to trump but yeah, still

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

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

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)

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

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.

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.

Which is fun because it's infighting: CBS Entertainment and Showtime are both owned by the CBS Corporation

Maybe kinda lame but my first thought when I saw that cover was of my friends who are gonna watch it on DVD (& are so far 100% unspoiled) losing some of the impact of that first appearance of Mr C. I'm actually hoping the menus don't give the game away regarding stuff like the sweeping, Wally Brando &c and they just stick to shots of trees and stuff.

isn't Mr. C in the first episode?

Ha, I like that the scene of a dude slowly sweeping up cigarette butts on the roadhouse floor ranks as a major spoiler.
