Viewing complete.
Final two eps had two of the worst moments of the series, ie (17) fucking Freddy punching BOB's volleyball and (18) the ludicrous Diane-Cooper sex scene.
I did like the resolution, which I interpret as... get ready...
You can't save anybody.

The scene where they are sitting in the car not saying anything for like 10 minutes is the one that broke me

My theory about Freddie and his glove is that it is Lynch's take on Marvel-style superhero films

freddie the glove is heroism as bathos

That immensely long YouTube piece arguing for the true nature of Twin Peaks as an exegesis of television itself is quite illuminating on those plot elements. I found it pretty convincing overall.

Kudos!
Also to Simon's podcast partner who called Diane as Naido.

I enjoyed the series very much.
And is the case with almost all of Lynch works, 10-20% of it was shit.

btw when Cooper showed up at Carrie Page's door, she was speaking and acting very much like Kim Novak's Judy (her second incarnation) in her early scenes in Vertigo. I suspect that was conscious.

What did you make of Audrey by the end of her appearances, Morbs?
― donald failson (sic), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:11 (four years ago) link
xxxp it’s at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7AYnF5hOhuMBe warned it’s 4.5 hours but I suppose many folks have time on their hands. I watched it at 1.5 speed over a few days. It’s a little self-satisfied but I was persuaded by a lot of it.
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:20 (four years ago) link
jesus fuck
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:23 (four years ago) link
why is it so long
what I made of it, sic, is Lynch being cruel to the fans. Audrey is probably institutionalized.
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:23 (four years ago) link
I guess I was right! though I don't give a shit about anything that wasn't on the teevee.

yeah I don’t care about anything in Frost’s books (Jennifer Lynch’s Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer is proper Twin Peaks though)
― donald failson (sic), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:51 (four years ago) link
(and Frost should always be part of TV Peaks)

I agree, but the "explanatory" video has no truck with anything off-screen. I have no idea why it needs to be *quite* that long, but the presenter is anxious to demonstrate that every single thing in S1, S2 up to the reveal and final 2 eps, FWWM, Missing Pieces and S3 can be understood in that framework. I guess it's 40ish hours of material to cover. I was impressed, anyway.
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Saturday, 4 April 2020 05:08 (four years ago) link
i am intrigued, but i'll have to get over my natural distrust of a person who posted a 4.5 hour video on youtube
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 4 April 2020 05:12 (four years ago) link
shoulda done about 20,000 posts instead
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 4 April 2020 05:19 (four years ago) link
I have similar distrust of "what's up YouTube" narcissists but the ideas are worth sticking around for

Thanks for listening :)

before the return came out i watched a 4+ hour video essay about peaks. lost in the movies' journey through twin peaks iirc? it was remarkable, and i think i was linked to it from here
guy who opens the TWIN PEAKS EXPLAINED video shouting "SPOILER ALERT" is a major dealbreaker
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:23 (four years ago) link
yeah no one can really rival Bocko's Peaks scholarship
― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:30 (four years ago) link
I watched the first 15 minutes or so of that YouTube explainer video and I just could not stand the terrible Lynch impression the guy insists on slipping into every time he reads a quote.
― OneSecondBefore, Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:49 (four years ago) link
BTW, The Lodgers was the best Twin Peaks podcast by far, y'all should team up again some time.
― OneSecondBefore, Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:54 (four years ago) link
Bocko is goodGuy who made TWIN PEAKS EXPLAINED taking four hours to explain that one very very very very obvious lens through which to view twin peaks is the only one is, I’m guessing here, bad

Felt good that I wasn’t alone upon my rewatch of the original run in thinking that Dick Tremayne is Wally Brando’s father.

The return of Dick Tremayne is definitely the ace up the sleeve for s4

Just know Ian Buchanan would be up for it. Me too; call me Chris Kraus, cause I love Dick

Look, I know he was the only character from the original series to get his own spin-off film, but I still feel like we haven't seen enough of Little Nicky.
