I notice that any time any fan praises something on the new Twin Peaks, the automatic response is that they are just an obsessive fanboy sycophant who will never say a bad word against him. Surely if he was so beloved and popular that that many people would blindly praise anything and everything he's ever done, the…

The book this is all based (the Twin Peaks history book Mark Frost did last year) writes at length about the evil forces of old, first mentioned in the book by Merriwether Lewis while on his expedition with Clark. They establish it as happening before the bomb.

That may tie into Margaret (the Log Lady)'s husband, who died in a fire the day of their wedding and is a part of the Black Lodge.

I think they had slowly moved further away from her just being a normal girl when they started focusing so much on Bob being so desperate to possess her in FWWM and the White Lodge working so hard to help her stave him off. I think Laura is a symbol as much as Bob is a symbol - early on there was more of an idea that…

I think that the doppel is Cooper's bad side, patched together by Bob. All the doppelgangers in the Black Lodge come from something. It would also explain why when Dale returned to our world, he was completely infantile and guileless.

It was a beautiful scene. I felt emotional as well. I'd say it's because Laura suffered so much from the evil of Bob and the evil of men, she was so misunderstood and so broken. And many times it felt like the narrative itself was close to dismissing her pain (especially in season 2 which was endlessly focusing on the…

The blend of absurdity and reality and the blunt pacing of TTOI as a show made the characters enough to where you were invested. The movie tinkered with that and I ended up finding most of them false and insufferable.

Prestige TV and peak are fancy words invented by a self-absorbed media and critical base who always need to remind everyone that they are the arbiters of taste. There have always been good TV shows, bad TV shows, shows in-between, and shows that are hyped for pseudo-intelligent reasons and then dropped as soon as the…

I have a feeling he may choose to be alone rather than hurt anyone else the way he unknowingly caused hurt to so many, but I could see this too. And Lynch pairing Dale up with one of his favorite actresses for a happily ever after would make sense.

The main reason I wonder is because in one episode he was chilling and cold and the next he was an idiot. The duality is very Black Lodge.

I've enjoyed them so I can't complain…

Bobby was never really as bad as Richard though.

"I’m still holding firm to my theory that the similarly smokes-where-you’re-not-supposed to, sexual assault-prone Richard Horne is the son of Audrey and Evil Cooper—and that, yes, whatever reunion she and Cooper are about to have will be full of rage, heartbreak, and—hopefully—she and Diane tag-teaming on kicking him…

The new show seems to have a different tone about women than the old show did, but one of the things I always felt about the old show was that many female characters often struggled within punishing lives and even their agency was often fleeting - Shelly was stuck with an abusive husband even after he was shot and she…

I always liked Albert but these last few episodes have reminded me of just how special he - and Miguel Ferrer - was. It's hard watching his scenes knowing how ill he was but it shows his dedication to the role, and to his craft. This wouldn't have worked without him.

I've had the same feeling myself, but I feel like the Twin Peaks narrative went down a certain road with the Leland and Laura reveal and FWWM, which was one of the reasons the show soon had such an identity crisis (it's hard to enjoy Nadine super-strength and Ben's Civil War nostalgia after where they went with Leland…

He seemed to have two very different personalities, which would tell me maybe it's part of the lodge and their doppelganger history. I'm hoping it isn't true though.

Good catch.

The whole business thing with Audrey in season 2 sort of felt like she just wanted to impress her father to me.

I noticed they didn't mention her being Norma's sister. In the book they rewrote Norma's backstory - even her last name. I'm wondering if that is true in the show as well.
