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

Honestly this thread has turned out way more interesting (and way bigger!) than I thought it would. Really, thank you to everyone (almost everyone) for contributing. Ultimately it was intended to be a few pages at most of a few of us consoling each other over the loss of something dear to us. The '...

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

I've been catching up on the posts I've missed on this thread, and there's one point discussed that's been irking me, about how Lynch isn't pandering to the audience in TPTR. I have to disagree. Lynch may not be pandering to the general public, but, IMHO, he is pandering to critics, hipsters, and a...

Pretty good article from the NY Times that can help explain how Twin Peaks: The Return can be considered extremely high quality, bold filmmaking while being very difficult for some to digest: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/24/arts/television/twin-peaks-game-of-thrones-hbo-showtime.html?mcubz=1 Tha...

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

Make a show about a Las Vegas lunk who undergoes a trauma that leaves him mentally incapacitated yet somehow mixed up in an insurance fraud scheme and I'd watch it. Make it a cross between The Sopranos and On The Air. It would be a lot of fun! But don't call it Twin Peaks or have the lead character...

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

So I guess I'm an irredeemable fanboy of the original run. To the point where even the flaws don't bother me, and I never skip scenes or episodes on rewatches. The whole package is just so much more impressive than TR, even down to something like the opening credits - in particular, those aerial dr...

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

What a great thought, that DoppelCoop would have slipped into Coopers life and corrupted it, him and everything he touched from within - rather than disappearing off to become some cookie cutter 'bad guy' from a long forgotten episode of The A Team. Lol. Yeah, doppelCoop does look a little silly, d...

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

Browsing other forums and video blogs on YouTube, I found the amount of hipster love TPTR is getting to be truly astounding! That says something about the show's quality, doesn't it?

I don't know. I still have hopes (very faint ones) that TPTR is going to be a slightly better viewing experience as a binge-watch. Maybe?

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

Surprisingly, considering how misguided TPTR turned out to be, it actually follows the original plans Frost and Lynch had back in '91 in one respect, which is having the crux of the plot in S3 revolve around doppelCoop. The problem is, their version of Coop's doppelganger this time around is hardly ...

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

I for one have found The Return most helpful in preparing me for entering the Black Lodge and then exiting it via multiple dimensions and stages of electric mystery twenty-five years later. Hack works like The Sopranos, The Wire and Mad Men pretended the issue didn't even exist. I thought about how...

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

I rewatched THE MISSING PIECES compilation on BluRay. Wow. The best TP movie that never was. Even though it's basically a series of unconnected scenes cut together, it somehow works as a collage film, and has more heart, warmth, coherence, mood, terror, and beauty than all of TPTR combined. Strange ...

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

Part 15 was infinitely better than most of THE RETURN so far, and the FWWM connection is pleasing, but it wasn't enough to sway me. The Log Lady scenes were very moving, and I think Coop is finally waking up. But all the problems that have been there since the beginning are still there, and that fin...

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

Hey guys, have you ever heard of the words 'lighten up'? Enjoy it for what good you can get out of it? We're 15 episodes in so only 3 more hours of Lynch and Frost not meeting your expectations. Time to relax and take what value you can out of it, IMHO. No offence, but why are you telling people ho...
