What's up with the isolated events/scenes they've been having this season? Like the girls discussing Clark at the end, what's the point?
Probably has to do with the drug plotline.
I bet someone makes a supercut movie version of this season that takes out all the roadhouse scenes and tries to trim things that go nowhere like the interchangeable Jacoby scenes. Unless that Audrey scene ends up actually going somewhere later, that can go on the pile too.
Yuck, why even watch art if it has to 100% cater to you? Art is about someone else's point of view, not yours. The beauty is finding art you find agreeable, not forcing it to be in line with you. Also, how disrespectful to the artist. You will only find art you like if you let artists create things they want to create. Just stop watching the thing. It're really not hard. I guarantee you will find something else you like elsewhere.
I really, really hate the talk of "this thing is too long and goes nowhere and should be cut to be much shorter". This isn't criticism. It's dull nonsense. Even moreso when we haven't seen the whole thing. It seems whenever someone wants to cut a film or show to make it shorter, it's strictly about plot. "This plot could have been told quicker". Yea, of course, there is nothing enlightening about that idea. You could also read a summary of narrative art and get the plot really quick that way. It's not all about the plot. And certainly not with Lynch. For decades Lynch as indulged slow, deliberate scenes. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But they have always been his style. That isn't going to change. He loves to subvert expectations, (call it trolling if you want, but there is a difference between that and subversion) And suggesting a shortened version would make all of that very not David Lynch.
Yea, I thought Part 12 was kind of boring and is easily my least favorite part, but it very clearly was setting up a lot of things. Audrey's plotline is just starting. There will clearly be more from her. Maybe not a lot, but considering what that scene was about, and how it was connecting to an earlier plotline, there is more to it. It's also intriguing that Richard was not mentioned, even though Audrey lives in or near Twin Peaks. That raises a lot of questions.
We learned more about the Blue Rose program and the addition of Tammy and Diane will have bigger implications. Not to mention Diane now knows the coordinates to Twin Peaks. Will she give that to Mr C. Also how soon will the FBI make it over there? And Diane knows about Las Vegas. Which means so does the FBI. The plotlines are a little more tied together.
We also know Miriam is receiving care at the Hospital and Ben knows about Richard. Frank also has Cooper's old key and he's going to tell Harry about it. That could lead to a few things.
Sarah Palmer seems to be receiving otherworldly transmissions still. "Men are coming" will have a payoff.
I would have enjoyed a faster pace, like Part 12 which had perfect pacing to me, but this was only 1 of 18 parts. I'm not going to freakout about it. Just be disappointed for a week, and probably feel fine with this Part on a binge watch.
