The Return could have been great if enough time had been taken to develop the characters and their relationships to each other. The complete lack of compelling characters has been the single biggest flaw in the series. There’s some pretty strong competition for that title. For me the honour would g...

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...

The whole Lodge mythology has become so diluted now as to be worthless. What? You mean you're not dying to find out exactly how many different lodge locations there are in the world, whether they only exist in the past or the future, or assist in mapping out the interdimensional highways between th...

as Bowie found out back in the 1980s, there is nothing worse than making art that is just boring . Amen. This is the heart of the matter. As was said about 100 pages ago, the problem may be that that to pull off highly ambitious, deliberately audience-antagonistic work, you have to be at the absolu...

Incoherence and self indulgence are the two worse offences for me. Lynch putting himself, not even Cole but himself, center stage, is laughable. A lot of people like the Monica Bellucci dream sequence. It was a nadir for me. Lynch really has finally disappeared up his own arse. And we already had a...

That's another considered, well-written post, LateReg, even if I disagree with it entirely. My friends and I have been debating not whether The Return is one of the greatest dramas ever made, but whether or not it's the very worst, for the reasons detailed upthread. I'm not saying it is in fact the ...

'' wait we don't do that menu anymore that was 25 years ago. Now we have a new menu'' ='' i hate everything in he...

A white horse walks into a bar. The barman asks, 'Why the long face?' The horse replies, 'I've been watching the new Twin Peaks.' A Twin Peaks fan walks into a bar and has a pint. "This pint tastes of vomit and cement, barman." "You can't claim that until you've drunk the whole barre...

I don't believe that any of you will come around based on the final four Parts, nor should you be expected to. But I do think it's important to note what eyeboogers is probably meaning to say. Which isn't that the final parts will be so good that they'll make you like everything that came before th...
