Re: Is this board closing?

It's absolutely awful that dugpa should have been subject to any kind of abuse. Ridiculous, and awful. The vibe at this forum since the airing has been remarkably negative, only recovering recently, and I can't help but feel that making this place a 'safe space' for people whose only interest was tr...

Re: Theories & Speculation

One argument against it being the reason for the change in Mr. C's demeanor between ep. 29 and season 3 is the Great Northern scene in the Missing Pieces, where after they pick up doppelcoop from the bathroom floor, he behaves in pretty much the same manner as season 3 Mr. C. That said, this might ...

Re: Theories & Speculation

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but what do we think of the idea that Cooper creating the Dougie-tulpa is responsible for his different personality in episode 18? That he has extracted Dougie's qualities (i.e. magnetic positivity, intuition, compassion etc) out of his own personality t...

Re: Did Cooper really fail? Was Laura really supposed to die?

I'm not sure how it all fits together, but my understanding is that Cooper is trapped in a kind of loop (as suggested by the repeated Red Room scenes), and that the Fireman's message is a warning, not simply a reminder. He's warning Cooper away from the sequence of events that will lead to Richard a...

As long as that thread exists, this long-standing forum is dead. But at this point, one can only assume that the forum admin is one of these 'profoundly disappointed', and wants it there.

Don't be obtuse; it's obviously dispiriting to see this thread almost every time one clicks on this forum.

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

It's impossible to maintain critical distance when you're faced with this avalanche every time you'd try to present a negative opinion on TR. Perhaps the situation you're referring to (behind your hyperbole) should be expected, considering that this is a Twin Peaks/David Lynch fan forum? In fact I'...

Re: Part 18 - What is your name? (SPOILERS)

Would be very interested in a thread for this! Didn't Everett McGill let slip in an interview that he filmed a scene with Steven? He said something about Big Ed being someone whom the young people of Twin Peaks feel they can confide in--and that he was shocked by the actions of Steven (presumably i...

Re: Part 18 - What is your name? (SPOILERS)

I wonder if more "closure" scenes were filmed for some of the other stories? And they were eventually cut to give LESS closure? I know a scene was filmed with Jacoby and Nadine in a restaurant (maybe a date)? And more scenes with Red & Shelly? So maybe more with Becky/Steven as well? ...

Re: Part 16 - No knock, no doorbell (SPOILERS)

Well I kind of like the Duncan Todd headshot! It reminds me of classic era practical horror effects--when a shot like this would be achieved by cutting to a dummy head a half-second before it's blown up (e.g. that zombie head-shot early on in Dawn of the Dead)--that's just what it feels like. No, it...

Re: Part 16 - No knock, no doorbell (SPOILERS)

With this last episode so heavy on tulpa exposition and explanation, I'm guessing at least one more will be created before all is said and done. I'm thinking that it will be Laura ("Laura is the one," "I am dead yet I live," on and on and on). She could confront Bob, Mr. C, her ...

Re: Part 13 - What story is that, Charlie? (SPOILERS)

It's really disappointing that the emotional impact of the scene is being urderappreciated because of a fucking reflection that won't mean anything... Remember, we're all going to be discussing these episodes for years and years to come, just as we have with the original series. This isn't the only...

Re: Part 11 - There's fire where you are going (SPOILERS)

While the ending of S2 is obviously a cliffhanger in the broadest sense, I've always experienced it as more of a straight downer ending: even Cooper, as good as they come, in the showdown with evil, isn't quite strong enough. (as a sidenote, I'm glad that's not the ending anymore!) Now a real hardco...
