Man, I have to say that waggish piece posted upthread is very compelling. I read it before bed and it infiltrated my dreams.

Along these lines although much more minor, I don't see any good reason at all to think the drunk in the jail cell is billy
It's extra-textual, but I'm like 99% certain that my closed captions credited his dialogue as "Billy".
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 19:26 (six years ago) link
he may as well be Billy really. why not I say.

I got mine just now. I haven't rewatched any of it so I'm looking forward to that.

Mine too, I'm psyched to watch the bts features so will prob jump straight to that although the urge to rewatch in bluray quality will be strong. Cool as it is to see lynch at work I'm hoping for some oddities as well (also ymmv but eg every time lynch calls dern "tidbit" I cringe my way to an early grave)

Were parts 3+4 presented as a 'feature' on TV? Because they are on the set...
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 15:56 (six years ago) link
they premiered together, yes
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 15:57 (six years ago) link
Wait, so they can’t be played separately? Is that the same for 1 & 2?
― sciatica, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 16:03 (six years ago) link
No, they can be played seperately. It's 1,2,1+2, for example, as choices.

Anyway, for some reason I misremembered it as the the first two and the last two that were united. Never mind.

3 and 4 were made available to stream the night 1 and 2 were "broadcast," then played individually on Showtime on weeks 2 and 3.
― WilliamC, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 16:43 (six years ago) link
Yeah first 4 all dropped at the same time for streaming audience (ie almost everyone)
― sonnet by a wite kid, "On Æolian Grief" (wins), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 16:45 (six years ago) link
I personally found 3 the most confounding episode at the time. Dropping 4 at the same time was probably smart to indicate the rest of the series would not be quite so disorienting.
― Chris L, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 16:54 (six years ago) link
*might* not be quite so disorienting
― Chris L, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 16:55 (six years ago) link
3 was my favorite episode of the series. Wild visuals, kinetic pacing, suspenseful as hell. I remember thinking "holy shit if this show can keep up this momentum this is going to be the greatest thing I've ever watched"
― Evan R, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
Those fucks at Amazon ran out before they shipped my copy of the box set.

They're at it again
― sonnet by a wite kid, "On Æolian Grief" (wins), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 17:02 (six years ago) link
3 was amazing
― sciatica, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 17:03 (six years ago) link
My favorite moments in Lynch projects tend to be the ones that tease all the crazy imaginative directions the narrative ~could~ take. The actual payoffs, for all their merit, usually aren't half as fun as the ones I begin to imagine in my head so yeah it's hard to top all the amazing possibilities those first few episodes teases
― Evan R, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link
yeah, that was the going theory at the time. not sure if it was ever confirmed by any showtime execs, but it makes sense. 3 is a contender for my favorite episode (all the stuff with the purple world was so eraserhead-y that my heart nearly exploded), but you could just imagine it alienating a third of the viewing audience even as it happened.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 17:07 (six years ago) link
3 was an instant fave, my theory at the time tho was that it was 4 that would turn most ppl off, with all the weird slow comedy at the sheriff's station & casino - obv im jackpots/Brando/bunny 4lyfe over here but in terms of guessing where the switchoffs would come that would have been my bet. No idea how correct that ended up being but judging from the main complaints as the series went on it wasn't far off.

Does anyone remember when the 1-week break came btw? If it was after pt 8 then I'd say the whole broadcasting schedule could not have been more shrewd
― sonnet by a wite kid, "On Æolian Grief" (wins), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 17:20 (six years ago) link
i think it was after 8? but then i misremembered 3 and 4 airing together so who knows (they totally did though, right?)
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 17:31 (six years ago) link
anyway looks like i'm not getting my box today either :|
Yeah they did xp man amazon suck, even the guy who played that fucker Ray is tweeting about not getting his set today lol

Best Buy will get it to you sooner at the same price. I canceled my Amazon order and sent them a bitchy message through customer service.

Question: It seems to be commonly accepted that Leland was bad enough without Bob's help but I don't remember any Twin Peaks moment that actually suggested any of his evil actions were independent of Bob. What did I miss?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 18:37 (six years ago) link
mostly in FWWM, the movie makes it pretty clear that Leland was responsible for his actions. I saw FWWM before season 2, and his epiphanic deathbed confession in the jail cell was really jarring and upsetting imo, exculpated him
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 18:40 (six years ago) link
the queasy ambiguity/fluctuation of Leland's participation/awareness level is one of the most effective things about the entire series
― Simon H., Wednesday, 6 December 2017 18:43 (six years ago) link
yep. and though it's considerably more complicated by fwwm, there's even internal series queasiness, e.g. how leland's constant grief dancing is actually related to bob
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 December 2017 18:44 (six years ago) link
and also there's the small matter that even if you read him as completely "innocent" or helpless, nothing lessens the horror for laura
