The new show ended my decades-long affection for David Lynch’s work, so there was no point in leaving everything gathering dust. I’m unlikely to want to watch, read or listen any of them again: the original Twin Peaks is tainted by the new show and I can’t look at any of the films the same way again. If there’s more Twin Peaks released, I won’t bother to watch it. Once you’re done, I think you’re done for good and it’s better to make the break. Still it was mostly fun while it lasted.
That might be the most extreme reaction I've heard to disappointment over a work. Was it so bad to you that you had to give away even stuff from the past? I'm over 50 percent disappointed with the show, but that doesn't affect my affection for past works. Did you just donate it, then, without compensation?

Same here a few weeks ago. I had mf signed secret history, secret diaries (3x, signed) all the rare and huge foreign posters for fwwm, press kits, handbills, a dL/Charlotte and jack nance’s “ghost” signed EH poster, star pics cards, the dale books, the board game, cd’s, cassettes, all of the Lynch stuff ever on VHS and R1&2 DVD multiple versions, about 20 books on Lynch including air is on fire and images and Boise snowmen and distorted nudes. I had a piece of bark from the original log and I smoked it. Burned what fit in the fireplace and donated the rest.
Feel like an ex-junkie looking back on the days when the drug dominated everything (the time, the money, the singleminded passion) Or Dougie Jones waking up, knowing everything that’s transpired, from a waking coma of habit into a stupid dystopia.

Completely ignoring most of the continuity, dismissing characters such as Cooper to side notes and contradicting every theme and mood in the original speak loudly to the contrary.
What they wanted to do was a Dougie story. They couldn't get funding, so they painted the Twin Peaks -title on it and got to work. Any Twin Peaks connection in S3 is shoddy, disjointed, full of plot holes and ends up going nowhere.
Let's face it, they're the ones who walked away from Twin Peaks after season 1, and haven't looked back. They admitted that the only watched the pilot episode before writing S3. They don't care.

Audrey Horne wrote:each their own - but for me there was never the brilliance of exploring real human nature like their was in the first season. The peeling of the layers of the onion with these characters. -Bobby and Audrey being reevaluated with their respective Jacoby and crying in the corner scenes as an example. Lynch and co can go off and be as metaphysical and surreal as possible but for me if its not grounded in human truth it doesn't really work for me (in this particular world.)

Neither of the friends is right or wrong; the art speaks to one persons tastes, but not the other's.
