Let's face it. This is going bad. The Big Ed and Norma scene was like they rushed things in. Like "ok, we are obligated to show some old carachters so people don't complain. Just put them togheter in a total of 3 minutes and get over with it". But maybe he forgot that some fans NEVER complain. NEVER. Not even about yet another scene of Dougie eating a cake. "Wow! We are witnessing history". Really?
Some of you guys want this to be true so bad that it doesen't even matter that what we are witnessing, really, is a boy with a rubber glove that gave him superstrenght.
Lynch had all the money in the world to make Jeffries a tea kettle? Really? It's that ok for you? None of the new carcathers was well development (Beverly Paige? Beverly Paige's Husband? All the carachters in the Roadhouse? The list goes on and on).
Well, if some of you guys are enjoiyng it, that's fine. I resapect that. Really. And, hey, the show still have some good moments. Episode 8 was really awesone. But don't try so hard to put everithing Lynch does in the "genius work" category. The guy deserves some critics, after all. A lot of them, actually. This new TP it's in on the top of list, sadly.
You are kind of accusing us of forcing ourself to interpret something in a positive way, while you are interpreting something to fit your negative view.
It's very common in storytelling to have a super happy moment before things turn to shit. I knew when we saw that scene that this episode would be "dark". It's a classic move and happens time and time again. That's the purpose of this scene. To finish their story in a satisfying way. The build-up has been going on since 1990, so I don't think we can say it came out of nowhere. Just because you feel like it's fanservice, doesn't mean it actually is. Why WOULDN'T we see parts of the lives of some of the major players from S1 and 2? It was a perfect setup for what is to come. The darkness of this episode, and, potentially, the return of "light" to Twin Peaks.
A lot of people are complaining about the green glove dude, why are you making it seem like everyone is praising it?
Jeffries isn't a tea kettle, that's just you trying to make it sound worse than it is by degrading it. Basic argument technique. A lot of people who like the episode aren't happy with the Jeffries appearance either. Just like people would be divided if there was a recast. These are all opinions, and only one of them is yours.
You open with 3 paragraphs criticising us for liking this, then say you respect it IF we really are enjoying it?
What you're saying is basically "I don't like this, and I don't understand why you do. You are wrong, this is not good".
That's your opinion, please don't try to ridicule others for not sharing it. I genuinely love this season, and I'm more of a TP fan than a Lynch fan.

Kudos for using so few words to say what I did with half a book
