What a trip. I love it. Time to get some sleep now (part 3 and 4 are not available yet), and then I'll watch it again.

Sorry, but I was blown away. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I will never try to tell anyone what their opinion should be.Chester Desmond wrote:Dude, I get it, it is shit.mtwentz wrote:Dude, you didn't get it, did you?Chester Desmond wrote:The visual effects are so bad too... the light face on Laura?

God this is a travesty.
The CGI is so bad in the red room.
This so predicable and uninspired.
I am crying this is so bad, it's like a part of me has been murdered.
It was like 2001 A Space Odyssey, the humans without emotion.
That was EXACTLY THE feeliings LYNCH WANTED YOU TO HAVE.
I felt it was a slow burn- the first 30 minutes, I was extremely disappointed.Metamorphia wrote:Gonna be honest here: I'm pretty disappointed.
What I will say though is that it's clearly setting up a huge, 18 hour mystery and therefore I may judge it better as the series progresses.

He thought he was, but apparently not. Darya and Ray also mentioned Jeffries. And Bad Dale mentioned Jeffries going to see Garland Briggs.Was that Philip Jeffries that that bad Coop was talking to?
I have to say, so far I have to put myself into the 'those who don't get it' camp. Probably by the end of it I'm going to appreciate its genius and how innovative it is but for the moment I just feel kind of sad in a nonplussed way (and yeah, maybe I'm feeling what DKL wants me to feel). The ending felt more like the Twin Peaks I love but, man, I really don't need to see The Chromatics actually IN Twin Peaks. I have been listening to the band for years but really does feel like Lynch is just sticking a band he obviously likes a lot into this world and, for me, the effect is too jarring.Chester Desmond wrote:Guys some of this acting, most of it, is so bad. Like really bad. The plot is great, the cinematography amazing, the acting: not good.

You see, but I think that machine is going to allow Good Coop and Bad Coop to be in the world at the same time. I thought that is where it was leading too. But maybe I am wrong?StealThisCorn wrote:Very first thoughts: This is fascinating and weird in a way I wasn't expecting from Lynch, but still bears many of his distinctive hallmarks. The kinds of effects he's experimenting with feel quite unexpected in a Lynch production. Some of the stuff made me think of something out of Doctor Who. But I'm not disappointed. As I was watching it I knew it was going to lose a lot of people though.
I like Bad Dale being some criminal mastermind. It makes sense flipping the star FBI agent into his equally capable and ruthless opposite. I'll admit the "I've got to go back to a place they call the Black Lodge" line jumped out at me as a bit literal and hokey though.
Wondering what was with LauraIt was a bit upsetting seeing her treated like that to be honest.Spoiler:
The Red Room stuff is even more surreal and completely unprecedented in Twin Peaks. The imagery that can be conjured there clearly has no rules in Lynch's mind.Still not sure if they are going with a literal two Coopers that will be physically present in the real world. I thought the Arm said, "You can't go out until your doppelganger comes back in". So that would imply only one body out at a time.Spoiler:
As far as the story threads that are being set up, I'm not sure what is significant to the plot and what isn't yet. The stuff with the murder in Buckhorn, the top-secret "Box" in New York, the guy from Winkies in Mulholland Dr in Las Vegas etc. But I'm intrigued enough to see it all come together.
The scenes with Catherine Coulson were very sad and moving. And Lucy's line about "Which one?" of the Trumans has me thinking we'll be seeing Frank Truman from TSHOTP soon.
As far as I'm concerned it's a promising start.
