Re: The Unorthodox/Controversial TP Opinion Thread
So, let's get back to bashing S 2 :) In seriousness, there's absolutley NOTHING wrong with the show centering on Renault, Packard and Eckhardt for a while (if anything, those storylines could've been expanded a little more) and with Earle and Annie becoming the nexus of the show in the last 5-6 epis...

Re: The Unorthodox/Controversial TP Opinion Thread
But regarding the sawmill plot, if we look at things through a first viewing, it's just as much of the murder plot. Everything is, and we're questioning everything. Andy crying is part of the murder plot, Major Briggs slapping Bobby is part of the murder plot. Everything is alive because we don't k...

Re: The Unorthodox/Controversial TP Opinion Thread
I don't usually like dissing the lesser appreciated pets of Twin Peaks. It's my favourite show for not only the groundbreaking storyline and mythology, but for the controversies surrounding the show itself. The weaker elements of late S2, the ratings drop and the 'indefinite hiatus' all play a part...

Re: The Unorthodox/Controversial TP Opinion Thread
Anyway, here's a handful of my controversial opinions (there's a lot of them and i probably forgot something, so I'll post it later, when I remember it), some of which have been discussed (sometimes quite bitterly) on other threads to where I managed to sneak them :) I think: - that S 2 is at least ...

Re: The Unorthodox/Controversial TP Opinion Thread
My controversial opinion that I am unashamed of - and am actually kind of shocked is controversial (maybe not on dugpa but certainly elsewhere in the Twin Peaks fandom) is that I love the Just You sequence. It's so quintessentially Lynch to me, pure goofy-innocent 50s teen culture, reminding me of ...

Re: Beyond Season 3?
@LostInTheMovies I'm having sort of a busy schedule at work today (and the whole coming week, I'm afraid), so for now, just this: there's absolutely no need to apologize for going off topic or "butting in", not to me, at least - I'm an absolute sucker for such debating! Anything about TP's...

Re: Beyond Season 3?
I have to disagree with you on Episode 16. While it has a nice moody quality to it (kudos to Tim Hunter), it spends WAY too much time over-explaining things like the gum (boo to the writers). I really hate the way it undermines the dreamy weirdness of the Red Room dream by ascribing some half-assed...

Re: Beyond Season 3?
I see nothing wrong with using these titles in casual conversation, for clarification's sake, and don't see why you apparently do ... A lot of TP fans hate the titles because they're incredibly lame ("Rest in Pain," "May the Giant Be with You"), and have never been sanctioned by...

Re: Beyond Season 3?
Your numbering is off by +1. Also the episodes don't have titles, those were added by a foreign distributor, I believe. No, my numbering is not off: I specifically stated that in my numeration, the pilot counts as episode 1 and everything after it is numbered accordingly. That's the numeration used...

Re: Beyond Season 3?
I made a mistake when writing the previous post - it should have read " 24 of the orginal eps are shit," since Lynch directed 6 episodes in whole (I'm including the pilot). I'm curious, clueless, which is the Lynch episode that leaves you underwhelmed? My money is on the episode 10 (my num...

Re: Beyond Season 3?
I agree with every single thing about this but Frost directing future episodes. Yeah, bring Frost on to direct, why the heck not. Because he directed episode 7 and it's obvious that he's not very good at it. Based on ONE measly episode you make this claim? Hmmm ... Also: people need to make the dec...

Re: Beyond Season 3?
One other thing: I think it's of crucial importance that the new episodes (and seasons, with gods' help) explore as many of the surrounding faces as possible, not just dwell on Laura and Cooper. Though something can be said about the difficulty of comparing TP to The Wire and The Sopranos with their...

Re: Beyond Season 3?
I agree with every single thing about this but Frost directing future episodes. Frost has too long been regarded as a hack or some sort of a bastard child, at best, by TP fandom and I say it's about time he gets the recognition he deserves. Deal with it, people: without Mark Frost, there would be n...
