So are the effects bad because of the budget or because Lynch wanted it to look "off." The endless debate begins now

Off.

He has this thing for ugly digital.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Yeah I guess you're right. I was confused when Mike's Arm tree started chanting BOB.

I'm going to guess they have fused so they don't really have to directly address the original actor for Bob dying

 

[Flipyap]

James must have gone to the California chapter of the Black Lodge and been possessed by someone much cooler than himself if Shelly is to be believed.

James is cool. He's always been cool. <- official Twin Peaks lore

 

[Joqu]

Well you guys, I've woken up. Trying to not read too much stuff here but it sounds like I'm in for one hell of a ride. Yessss.

 

[Fantastical]

I see they're retconning already.
Ep 3:

Spoiler

Are there multiple doppelgangers?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Jeez, I'm taking a small break before I jump into 3 & 4 (will tag all my spoilers, so know that. Won't talk about anything with 3 & 4 without spoiler tags), but I'm in love. Hoping the rest of the season can be just as good/possibly even surpass that.

It starts off very slow, and I imagine like all of Lynch's works this will be decisive. But it honestly feels like everything Lynch ever made conjoined into one and made this. There were vibes of everything from Twin Peaks to Mulholland Drive to Eraser Head to Inland Empire to Blue Velvet, and just... Gaaaahh. I think it's pretty safe to say if you love Lynch's works you'll love this. It was a bit slow at the very start and to be honest as I was registering it at the beginning I didn't quite know what to think, but it quickly grew on me.

I can see this reviewing kind of controversially, I expect to see a lot of perfect scores and a lot of failing grades. But I will say this: I'm fucking loving it so far.

Excited to see 3 & 4 tonight.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Quick question: Couldn't really complete Twin Peaks 90s series. Left midway. Should I start watching this or complete that first? I got kinda bored when

Spoiler

that Mike dude possessed Leeland and he killed Sarah's cousin

and stopped watching.
Does that show get better after that? Or I can just youtube/read remaining stuff and start with this show?

 

[IronRinn]

Episode three goes in hard from the jump. Damn.

 

[Mossybrew]

Just finished ep 2. Holy Shit.

 

[hydruxo]

Here's the song from the end of episode two, if anybody is looking for it:

Chromatics - Shadow

 

[Obscura]

Speechless.

About to dive into eps 3 & 4.

Quickly have to say that the new Arm is damn amazing. Eraserhead baby evolved.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

About halfway into episode 3 and this is a lot to process

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Not surprised. I imagine this will be polarizing. Knowing this is a Lynch production made the slow pacing acceptable. If I wasn't already a fan of his work, I could see getting bored and antsy.

Exactly, anyone not a fan of Lynch as a filmmaker will probably hate this, if it keeps the pace.

Right up my alley though.

A lot doesn't begin to describe...

 

[BADMAN]

Ep 3:

Spoiler

This is straight up Eraserhead shit

 

[Dusk Golem]

I will also say this: In many ways this feels more like Lynch: The Lynch than Twin Peaks, like the tone is quite different from Twin Peaks so far. There's still Twin Peaks in there, certainly. It poked its head out several times. And it continues the story and lore. But the way it's executed makes this in many ways feel less like a direct Twin Peaks Season 3 and it feels more like a sequel to every work Lynch has produced. It's very hard to describe, but I hope what I'm saying makes sense.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Ummm

I just don't know if I can handle the wig

 

[Dizzy-4U]

My god, episode 3 is going bananas.

Getting some

Spoiler

Begotten

vibes.

 

[Flipyap]

Oh, and fuck HBO and their shitty bumper graphics.
They showed Doop And The Rednecks (my new ironically favorite band) before Part 1 and Laura Palmer before Part 2.

EPISODE 3

Spoiler

BOOP MADE A FAKE COOP TO FAKE OUT THE LODGE. BEST SHOW EVER.

Yeah, I'm already convinced that the world of Twin Peaks co-exists with at least the world of Eraserhead too. That thing in the box in Episode 1 looked like a grownup version of the alien baby from that film.

 

[Get'sMad]

perfect timing to finally use those dang free trials of Showtime on Prime and Hulu

HYPED

 

[Slowdive]

Damn, episodes 3 and 4 aren't up on Now TV yet even though they said they'd be up straight away.

 

[BADMAN]

Yeah, I'm already convinced that the world of Twin Peaks co-exists with at least the world of Eraserhead too. That thing in the box in Episode 1 looked like a grownup version of the alien baby from that film.

Does that mean Jack Nance's character was an older version of Eraserhead's protagonist?

 

[zethren]

FUCKING YES, TWIN PEAKS IS BACK BABY!

So enjoyable.

 

[Mossybrew]

I hope what I'm saying makes sense.

You're making total sense and that's been my feeling too.

 

[DrEvil]

Ep3

Spoiler

dougie is a clone? So fucking weird.


Oh. There goes his head. Lol wtf

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Finished first two, next two tomorrow.

Seeing Log Lady like that makes me sad. Booper is a cool guy &#128526;
Not-Bowie was cool
Lynch as fuck
New girls were top tier qts RIP
Stoner Jerry kills me
SHELLEY BAE
I like James now that I get a pathetic vibe from him
Where is Bobby?
Chromatics work so well with Lynch

Eraserhead vibes for sure. Can't see Twin Peaks digging this, Lynch fans absolutely will.

 

[Plum]

Just about to head off to sleep but I've got to say that damn, I love it. Lynch and Frost could have so very easily just gone the safe route but they didn't, this feels new and unlike anything I've seen recently on TV. If the show can keep this up then we've got something special on our ends.

Now lets hope that fucking thing in the box from Part 1 doesn't give me nightmares.

 

[kris.]

fuck it, my homework's done and i need more of this. time to jump into episode 3.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Definitely - think about how many more films/works he's done since the last TP thing he did... This definitely feels like Lynch flexing his muscles without any constraints. When it comes to Twin Peaks, I imagine both Frost and Lynch don't want to risk jeopardizing their vision again.

 

[grumpy]

Episode 3 is the Lynchiest thing to ever Lynch on my tv screen. What in the fuck.

 

[uncle_koploski]

big fan of the original two seasons.

I loved the change of pace this new season is providing.

I like that it is darker and weirder.

It's way more lynch, and that's a good thing!

 

[grumpy]

It's impossible to imagine that this is part of the same franchise which included Super Nadine.

 

[Fisty]

I think episodes 1&2 were a middle finger to the FWWM critics, it's so far outside of the old series so far. He probably won't bring the quirky town stuff back until like 7 episodes in lol

Loved it

 

[Data West]

Is this on AMC streaming yet?

 

[Flipyap]

 

[Fantastical]

Ep 3:

Spoiler

Andy, Hawk, and Lucy bringing the funnies.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

This is going to alienate so many people.

 

[PezDispenser]

Nightmare fuel. This is a lot like eraserhead 3.0 ...

Yeah a combination of all his best work really

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Ep 3:

Spoiler

Andy, Hawk, and Lucy bringing the funnies.

Spoiler

You're..... an Indian.

Spoiler

Yes, Lucy.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Oh my God them saying "James is cool" is such a clear middle finger to everyone

I'm just gonna watch the next two episodes because fuck it. Might as well overdose

 

[hughesta]

what sites have 3 and 4 up already?

 

[kris.]

5 minutes into ep 3 and ya

 

[Why would you do that?]

I'm following the NeoGAF comments on the second rewatch and nobody made a single comment from :32 to :34 as the girl was taking off her clothes and stuff in the sex scene lol.

 

[3rdman]

Yes! So fucking happy right now...nothing what I expected and yet exactly what it needed to be. Lynch, you glorious, amazing, son of a bitch! Thank you!

 

[BADMAN]

It's too bad the visual effects aren't top quality but I gotta say, the imagery they are trying to portray is so on point that it doesn't really bother me.

 

[Garret]

I'm following the NeoGAF comments on the second rewatch and nobody made a single comment from :32 to :34 as the girl was taking off her clothes and stuff in the sex scene lol.

Right before the thing from hell appeared.

 

[Fantastical]

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit but the special effects don't bother me because I feel like it's largely intentional.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Yeah, I'm already convinced that the world of Twin Peaks co-exists with at least the world of Eraserhead too. That thing in the box in Episode 1 looked like a grownup version of the alien baby from that film.

Yo but that thing is deffo deffo
