Twin Peaks Season 3 (Revival) Discussion / Spoilers

[publiusr]

"Gotta light?"

Well Lynch... love taking on 2001....

I'd rather see the(magic?) mushroom cloud sequence at the beginning of 2001 than the apemen. That or seeing the bone go up--and little boy come down--then the mushroom cloud--then the spaceships.

In the cloud, we see bubbles--I think a school of fish. The nuke opened a way for the shadow-hobos to come through. We saw one of them in jail vanish--his face rising up. Bob may have been one of them. The hobos came through the desert very solid. The froglike insect maybe Bob-yet-to-be-born. Laura was a nice soul--she came to Earth as a raindrop--her soul anyway.

The hobos seemed like the shades that needed blood--but they brought cooperbob back instead.

A hobo is the perfect form to take.

Where are the time travel set? Aliens, extra dimensionals--ghosts?

With Twin Peaks and Game of Thrones in the same time slot, the mother of all first world problems is about to befall us.

 

[Farscape One]

Which is why DVR was created.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Or just watch on streaming, or I will probably catch the later re-airing of one. Not as big an inconvenience as it was 15 years ago, but still easily means having to cover your ears all next day.

but still easily means having to cover your ears all next day

Statistically, it's gonna be way more likely to run into a Game of Thrones spoiler, and even if you do overhear a Twin Peaks one, you're unlikely to understand what it means even after you watch it, so the decision what to watch live is pretty easy...

 

[Seven of Five]

I'm looking forward to both returning.

So with the gap in the Twin Peaks schedule last week, I threw myself into the series rewatch that I originally wanted to do before The Return began. It was all so mystifying, captivating and fun. I was all swept away again and, I'm all ready for whatever is next.

Rewatching the new season even knowing what was coming was certainly different and still a little confusing.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

So I guess the events in Twin Peaks and the events everywhere else are happening seven weeks apart from each other?

I suppose we shouldn't have assumed simultaneity but they went out of their way to establish dates in this episode. It is July 30th in Twin Peaks. It is September 20th everywhere else. So the storylines inherently can't interact, wherever Garland Briggs leads our sheriff, the FBI nor Cooper will show up to help them. Whatever happened in Twin Peaks might even set off the events everywhere else.

Wait, 2:53, is that the exact time Cooper exited the Lodge?

 

[Turtletrekker]

It's ironic. With the original show I was always more engaged with what was happening with Cooper and his storyline, and when they were focusing on the other folks in the town I was just anxious to get back to Cooper's story. Now I'm more interested in the stories being told in Twin Peaks and with Cole, Albert and Diane more than I am Cooper himself (himselves?).

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the series but ARG! The snail's pace! I did like the advancement we got on the Briggs storyline on two different fronts. Things do seem to be coming together, albeit a little slowly.

Halfway through and no Audrey yet? Boo!

 

[StarMan]

Did Diane tell anyone to fuck off this episode?

The pace is purposeful. It's a hell of a thing to endure. I was so hoping Coop would snap out of it but... argh! I feel the threads are slowly coming together. It's a frustrating show to watch -- in a good way.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

They referenced that Audrey was in intensive care a few days after the bank explosion but no indication what kind of shape she's in now. Did Sherilyn Fenn say no?

I'm enjoying the show but I think Cooper should have been cured much earlier and we should have had a little more of the melodrama defining the original show.

Come to think of it, Ben Horn received the room key. I'm not imagining the date thing, right? Major Briggs said to go to that place 8/1 or 8/2 which Frank said was two days later, and what's his name signed the photo 9/20? There isn't a lot of interaction between vignettes, could be everything we see in Twin Peaks is happening in a completely different time window.

 

[Seven of Five]

It was good to see the FBI storyline intersect with the Matthew Lillard part, as it was to see the Major Briggs mystery to move along. I loved that he left a puzzle that only his son would he able to answer. He mentioned back in the original series that he saw a bright future for him, and he was right.

Our Coop is having a hard time being interesting. It's been good seeing little snippets of the past life he remembers in his past few appearances but I hope he comes to soon. There's a lot going on without him.

It's a shame Miguel Ferrer died because I would pay to see a spin off with Albert, Diane and Gordon in it.

 

[Beagleman]

It's a shame Miguel Ferrer died because I would pay to see a spin off with Albert, Diane and Gordon in it.

I like that idea, like an old guard version of X-Files but a lot weirder and... grumpier. Hell, get a Mulder & Scully cameo in there.

 

[dahj]

Hell, get a Mulder & Scully cameo in there.

Mulder complaining to Denise about obstructing his investigation?

 

[Seven of Five]

Look Mulder, I am the head of the Federal Beureau of Investigations.

I just love using the full name.

 

[Seven of Five]

So that episode was a tad slower paced than usual for this new season. I loved Log Lady telling Hawk that Laura is the one. Along with Gordon seeing a brief flash of Laura, I can't help but squeal "What does it all mean?" for like the millionth time.

As slow as the Dougie/Coop story has been, it's interesting to see Janey falling for her 'husband.' And I just have to mention Coop's face after sex was an absolute picture.

 

[wayoung]

Wife: What are you watching?
Me: Twin Peaks.
Wife: What's it about?
Me: Nobody knows.
Wife: Well, what's happening in it?
Me: I have no clue.
Wife: How long has it been on?
Me:. Since 1991, but it's only about halfway through its third season.
Wife: Who's in it?
Me: Pretty much everybody.

Edit:
I turned on the earliest episode I had available, which turned out to be 8.
Wife: "What the fuck?"
Me: "Exactly, now you get it."

 

[Beagleman]

I'm getting realy tired of the Dougie storyline (except for Naomi Watts), they hint at Coop remembering something and then abandon it again and again, I get it, it's purposely frustrating, but please... I might stop watching until the season is over, binging the rest is probably better for my nerves.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Yeah, I'm starting to think we won't see the real Coop until the very end. I'm all for Lynchian weirdness but that's too much.

Interesting that crazy violent asshole is a Horn, most likely son of Audrey Horn.

 

[Forbin]

Actually the Dougie thing is what made my wife and I bail after ep 6 or 7. For me, it's an nerves issue. It's being dragged out so long, and people are acting so plot-stupid about it, it's actually giving me anxiety. I get that at work all damn day, I don't need it in my entertainment the night before a Monday morning!
