All these returning shows are called "limited series" so if they bomb the studios don't have to say they cancelled them, but they all plan on coming back for more if enough money is made.... Otherwise they wouldn't end in cliff hangers *coughxfilescough*
According to this article, there are currently no plans for more Twin Peaks after this, but "the door is always open" for David Lynch at Showtime.
We want to see cute Audrey successfully running the Horn family business with her aging reformed father, Bobby and Shelly living happily ever after next to Ed and Norma and Lucy and Andy happily raising Andy's biological offspring. We want Coop to escape the black lodge and face down his doppelgänger and find a way to destroy Bob once and for all. David Lynch has systematically brutalized 25 years of our imagination and made fun of us for imagining it to begin with. Hell, Norma is even being pressured to change her pie recipe for increased profit margins!
I greatly respect what they are doing artistically but not sure I enjoy it as a whole. A lot of individual scenes are fantastic. Just personally I would have preferred the more melodramatic town-focused folllowup we all imagined. Like, I think individually the Dougie scenes are cool but it's frustrating that it took up so much of the show at the expense of Special Agent Dale Cooper.
That's not how my dreams involving Monica Bellucci usually go. That was a really good episode, even if the only sight of Cooper that we got was in the FWWM flashback. And Bowie! Huzzah! Huzzah! Lots of forward plot momentum and it seems that the strings are finally coming together. Interesting that Diane is Janey-E's sister. Andy in the Lodge was interesting. I don't know why, but he was the last character that I ever expected to see go to a Lodge. And what the genuine, actual fuck is up with Laura's mother?
I think the reason Andy ended up in the Lodge is two-fold. First, he was the one holding her hand at the time. Second, of the 4 men there, Andy is the most pure-hearted. And pretty simple minded, when it comes down to it. So he likely would accept what he saw in the Lodge without question, unlike the others who would keep wondering what was going on. I also think that the Fireman is gathering a sort of Avengers of TWIN PEAKS... Andy with his good heart, Dale who is also good natured, and that London kid that was with James when he told the story of how he got that glove.
After that scene in the bar I'm wondering if Sarah Palmer was the little girl that that weird creature crawled inside of. Something really freaky and gross is going on here.
This was a great episode, too bad we had to pay for it with 2 episodes of filler crap. The FBI is really close to tracking down Dougie, so hopefully that whole situation gets resolved. They have also figured out the situation with 2 different Coopers.
I've seen something similar with Rose Red, where a stone statue removed its face, to have it look back over its shoulder. Add one of the things from Full Metal Alchemist--and there you have it. She is possessed by the entity we first saw escape the air chamber, I think...
So last week's was a bit better than the week before, which wasn't hard. This one was in another class entirely. I love how the different plot strands were beginning to thread together, and the Sarah Palmer ripped the guys neck off. Watching Andy in the lodge was a real treat. He was the last person I expected to ever see there, and yet he just took it all in his stride and handled the ensuing situation wonderfully. Gordon Cole has been stealing the show every week with his humour, but the overly serious FBI agent who was shouting at Wilson cracked me up. This is what we DO in the FBI!
Not sure that was the lodge. That has the zig-zag floor. There is this castle tower by the sea--and it did favor that tree-trunk "palace.
The waiting room has the zig-zag floor, I think that was the white lodge. Love is the key to the white lodge, his protection instinct must have triggered a feeling of love. I love the way Andy immediately understands the cryptic messages and knows precisely what he has been instructed to do. Does timeline work out for that to be Sarah Palmer? She was a teenager in 1956, so she would have been in her 40s in the late 80s, I guess that tracks, though that would mean she had Laura at a later age than most Twin Peaks residents have children. The Wiki page says she was born in 1945 but cites a Twin Peaks novel as the source.
We know Andy to be a visual learner, so of course he's the only one who can be shown a series of seemingly random visions and understand precisely what they mean immediately.
The only person who understands what the hell is going on in Twin Peaks is ANDY. You think that's fine kind of commentary on the fans? We're all dumber than Andy.
Wow. This episode started out with me misty-eyed out of happiness for these characters and ended with me misty-eyed out of sadness. Interesting that the the memorial at the end was for Margaret Lanterman the character and not Catherine Coulson the actress. I hope that Dougie's adventure with the electric socket finally brings back our friend Cooper.
^With only three episodes left, I bloody hope so! His recognition about getting the band back together and the name Cole evoked a very strong response from our Dougie. As for the ending - are we supposed to know who the young girl in the bar is?
Interesting glove guy is in jail at the same time as the eyeless woman. Could be his destiny to help her with his superpower? I wish they'd stop showing that guy who repeats everything, he's just kinda gross and makes the scenes really unpleasant. Shouldn't he be taken to the hospital? I was hoping Bobby would come down to the jail with James and they'd make jokes about "The last time they were in here together". Wonder if it's being electrocuted that finally wakes up Cooper.
Maybe. Or maybe he'll be more of a vegetable to mess with us. Another really good episode this week. I'm going to be missing these Twin Peaks/Game of Thrones double bills. It was a joy to behold seeing Ed and Norma finally get together. A genuinely heartwarming moment. Then of course we cut to all the convenience store shenanigans, where evil Coop meets the Philip Jeffries' new form as a teapot, and they watch FWWM for old time's sake. The sound and visuals were both horrifying and confusing as hell, and it was a sharp turn from the cosiness of the first scene. Audrey and her husband continue to puzzle me in a less interesting way, though I think (or hope?) that there is more going on with her, possibly as a fallout from her dealings with evil Coop and the parentage of Richard. Oh seeing Coop punch Richard was amazing. Best Richard Horne scene of the season. However, the sudden murder of the two guys in Vegas was just brutal. The death of Margaret was so just so very sad. The actress playing her has unfortunately been dead for a while now, so I've found the amount of scenes she did film surprising, but a joy as well. The topic of death and uncertainty must have been hard to film, but she was a trouper and was excellent to watch. The end where the girl started to crawl, and then screamed right at the end was another creepy moment. This was an emotional rollercoaster really. Perhaps just missing a one liner from GORDON COLE to achieve perfection.
