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

A very mixed episode for me my thoughts exactly except i am happy to pass judgement before it's finished. (: basically, lynch has been working off intuition . there's no logic in the traditional sense that "golden age of tv" shows are written. this is basically haphazard storytelling and ...

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

A perfect answer (or interpretation) as to what was going on w/ Bobby & Shelly, courtesy of THE A.V. CLIB write up of last night's part: "The family Bobby encounters at the intersection near the Double R is another reminder of how patterns of behavior pass down from generation to generatio...

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

A very mixed episode for me - this one had some fantastic drama and tension, but also some plot developments that left me pretty exasperated. I'm still confused about why the need, particularly in the Cole/Albert/Tammy storyline, to have the characters slowly describe whats happened before to them. ...

Re: Part 10 - Laura is the one (SPOILERS)

Maybe this is obvious, but I've noticed how increasingly TPTR's structure is a symmetric reflection of the original Twin Peaks's. In TP, the story starts with the finding of Laura's body, and from that singular starting point the story continually spreads and expands along many different threads. In...

Re: Part 10 - Laura is the one (SPOILERS)

I'll always remember the section where Cole slowly and painstakingly explains the 'yrev very good to see you' line for the audience. Is there a possibility that Lynch/Frost have underestimated the zeal with which fans analyze the episodes? Did they expect that almost every viewer also would be enga...

Re: Part 10 - Laura is the one (SPOILERS)

My thoughts on the actual part itself: I was initially hesitant early on, as I did not enjoy Part 9 much at all, and some of the early expositional elements felt poorly plotted - characters saying things like 'you remember my arch enemies the Michum brothers?' and the talk about the insurance fraud ...

Re: Part 10 - Laura is the one (SPOILERS)

The irony in a group of people trying to shut down discussion about gender issues in TPTR by saying they are trying to 'stifle' (what?) debate is off the charts. The irony in a group of people thinking there is zero role for discussions of gender in a series who's core subject matter was the abuse o...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

So, finally, what DID happen on August 5, 1956? This Google search led nowhere: "August 5, 1956" "New Mexico" But when I added "UFO" to that search, ... I got this page with references to Devil's Gate in LA, Native Americans, portals, negative energy, Jack Parsons (fou...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

Somehow I completely missed the release of the episode descriptions for parts 9-12, I think I had the internet shut down due to not being caught up with TPTR at that point! I think Part 12 is going be our next holy shit crazy part like Part 8 :D. They're very exciting titles. I agree that *something...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

Does Gordon Cole having a picture of the nuclear blast represent simple foreshadowing, or a suggestion that Cole knows more about whats going on in these 'Blue Rose' cases than he's letting on (to his agents etc)? Did others find the way the boy in the 1950s scene persists after the girl rejects his...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

This was it, this was all the things i'd dreamed of in the weeks leading up to the return of Twin Peaks. I've enjoyed the series, sometimes a lot, so far, but this was the first episode to make me truly feel something - an experience on par with Episode 14 and Episode 29. Narrative journey was repla...

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

It's amazing how much of the trailer hasn't happened after 7 hours. We still have all the most dramatic/exciting shots - Cooper in the car (do we now think that's good Cooper or does Bad Coop clean up?), Cooper standing next to *someone*, and most importantly to me, the shots of the Palmer household...

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

You've completely changed my mind firefly (or more accurately, returned it to my first thought). I particularly like your sentence about not assuming someone has a Doppelgänger from the netherworld (although this will now be working assumption in future). Haha, well I've been seeing Bob everywhere ...

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

Some other general observations: 1) It's amazing how many of the plot lines or characters from parts 1+2 haven't been seen since then. 2) I think people getting angry about any Annie retconning are very premature. Mark Frost said she did not win Miss Twin Peaks - no good writer retcons one of their ...

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

Phew! Only just caught up with the thread! While it's certainly not confirmed BadCoop raped Diane, I do have an issue with most of the alternative theories that suggest Pre TP Dale and Diane had a relationship or anything of that sort. Firstly this suggests that normal (good) Dale would be so awful ...
