No offense to the many people outside the US that post here, but Showtime subscribers in America are not just a "certain amount of people", it's the vast majority of Showtime's audience. And it's 2017, people will find a way to see them if they want to and the discussion online in the ensuing week, both in media and places like this, will be about the first four hours.

I don't know about the arc thing, but I definitely think there's a strong possibility that 4 ends with a cliffhanger. Otherwise it seems a bit arbitrary to put out 3 AND 4 instead of just 3.

And then they're officially "airing" them together the following Sunday for everyone, so I think it's safe to say that at least 3 and 4 belong together, for whatever reason.

I'd be surprised if that's the question she hears the most regarding the fate of her character. If that's the case, let's hope the answer is "no". That Gordon/Shelly plot was one of the worst things about S2 to me. I'd rather see an entire episode dedicated to Evelyn drected by Diane Keaton.

Yes, I think it was whether or not Bobby and Shelly are married. She recently addressed that on Twitter with a fan as well, stating she wished she could answer it.
Ah, that (or Leo!) makes more sense :oops: the reasoning behind my guess was that we don't need reassurance to know that we're gonna find out how Shelly and Bobby fared, since they're both returning. Annie was the only big question I could think of whose status was uncertain.
That doesn't mean they ever got married or are even together, though! ;)

Really? I loved it. Granted, Lynch was being kind of skeezy cause he merely wrote it in as a way to kiss Madchen but Shelly came alive in a really fun and different way in those scenes IMO.

Yeah, I know. Most fans consider it "TP getting back on its track". To me TP never looked so silly and far from its tracks. And the fact that Lynch wrote it in only as a way to kiss Madchen says a lot lol. But I know I'm in the minority with this.

I'm with you on that one! I love Gordon Cole character dearly, but that smooching with the Johnson girl was the pits. And I hate it they stuck some of it in the "Chickadee on a Dodge Dart" scene with Coop, Harry & Annie, the contender for my most beloved TP scene ever!

Ha, that's the only scene between episodes 15 and the finale (aside from a couple of small moments in episode 27) that I wholeheartedly adore - and the interaction between Cole and Shelly is a big part of it. In fact, it would also be my contender for both Lynch and Amick's best scene in the series. Everything about that diner sequence encapsulates the warm and charming side of Twin Peaks for me.

Oh, absolutely! My bet's on "not even together", even!

The only thing that interests me about the Gordon-Shelly thing is the Venus de Milo connection/supernatural angle in general. I'm pretty confident we're gonna find out more about Gordon's situation, Blue Rose and all. I wonder if Shelly's gonna get her spooky wood shenanigans too! (maybe something minor, like Harold had the Tremonds for neighbors)

Not specific but still they still knew who the killer was early in the going.

I'll just say that if they didn't know it when they plotted season 1, Leland's musical obsession right before "there is always music in the air", and especially Audrey's entire arc consisting of her following in Laura's footsteps culminating in her (almost) having sex with her father, would be one hell of a coincidence...

Early on could even mean before the final script for the pilot was finished, it's hard to tell.

When you get it, make sure you let him know he shouldn't be calling Season 3 a remake.
