Yeah but that's kind of how Lynch operates, lol. He's always intended Twin Peaks to be constantly in motion as a story with no end in sight.

The Pink Room is actually a David Lynch track
Protector 101 - Night Owls (The Pink Room Remix)
Check out the synthwave version of the track. So fucking sick.
Eh. It's kind of fruitless to speculate about the creators' intentions, and honestly they're irrelevant anyway; the final product is all that matters, regardless of intent.
In Part 15 Evil Coop walks up the stairs (no wallpaper) and then into an adjoining room. That room has the wallpaper from Laura's dream in FWWM, but the stair room has bare, dirty walls.
I hope the finale is David Lynch looking directly into the camera and reading this post word for word.

I don't see how the inevitable Coop/Boop confrontation in the Black Lodge won't demolish single sequence ever filmed.
Could be because of how likely it is to be undermined by bad CGI, editing, blocking and lighting.
Episode 8 was rather fantastic on that front though.
Pretty sure they used the budget where it mattered. Finaly should be fine.

Just saw that Showtime have actually scheduled the whole series to play on Sho 1 starting at 4 AM on September 3rd.
So that makes my plans for that Sunday a lot easier.

Part 8 was stunning, but it didn't take place on that ugly new red room set. Given how likely it is that all of the red room scenes were shot on the same day... I dunno, I'd like to hope for the best, but I'm expecting another heartbreak.
True and the girl from Ep. 8 could still totally be Sarah, I just take umbrage with jumping to the conclusion that she's been
possessed
EDIT: On another note, I dunno if it was here but I was reading theories that Mr. C may not be the total bad guy he comes off as. I don't buy it personally but it would be an interesting twist to see Lynch & Frost pull off. As terrible as he is, I can't help but like Mr. C. Obviously that changes if he did in fact rape Audrey.

Someone needs to grab Hawk by the collar and sit him down, and ask him what that fucking sign is below the moon on his map! He's the key to that mystery. It's obvious he knows what it is as he told Truman that he doesn't want to know about it. Come on!!!

Yeah, it's a classic. One of my favourite instrumental tracks ever. Pure decadence.

Are you referring to the Frog Moth/The Experiment/Mother? Cause that's what that black symbol is...
Thats probably my favorite part of Fire Walk With Me. The music makes the scene.

It's a leading theory, but we don't know that for sure.

I've told this story so many times, so stop me if you've heard it before, but I first saw Fire Walk With Me on Sky Movies in the UK, and the version they aired didn't have the embedded subtitles.
I spent years trying to figure out what Laura was saying when she said "I am the muffin," not knowing that it was a reference to a deleted scene, and that it didn't make sense even in context as originally presented. When the shooting script got uploaded to the internet was when it finally all made sense.
Straining to try and hear the actors really felt like being in a night club in ways that no other scene set in one really captures (The Return is pretty good at this, though they don't push the music as high in the mix). I know it's meant to have subtitles, but I'm so glad I saw it without them when I first watched.
I'm not so glad that I saw all the red room / convenience store stuff without subtitles. People would talk about garmonbozia being pain and suffering in Wrapped in Plastic and online, and I never knew how the hell they knew that until I saw the subtitled version.

That might be true, but Hawk clearly seems to know WHAT this Mother is, given how he told Truman.

"Audrey is the table at the Roadhouse" is the best fan theory I've ever seen. I'm fucking dying laughing over here.

I still don't hear it, is there a comparison video?
I don't hear it either. I DO hear the opening of Heartbreaking being a reworking of Haunting & Heartbreaking from Lost Highway though.

I subscribe to this theory now 100%. Meanwhile in Game of Thrones threads, I think Bran warging into inanimate objects is the dumbest theory ever.
Almost as dumb as the "Bran is the Night King" one, which is getting loads of traction for some reason.
That picture is perfect though.

Electricity is the means by which spiritual beings travel, and according to Hawk or Margaret, electricity is the modern form of fire, which produces smoke. In that sense, I think smoke is just something that's associated with spiritual shenanigans.
Another way of looking at it is that both fire and electricity can burn things, and burning creates smoke.

You mean a physical release? Because The Twin Peaks Archive is an official release since the tracks were available on David Lynch's website a couple of years ago. He's selling them for $9.90 right now by the way, that's crazy value for 212 tracks/10 hours of music.
Other than The Ballad of Dougie Jones, there hasn't been much of an ongoing story that needs to be wrapped up yet, and Dougie can be zapped out of existence as quickly as he came into it.
It honestly feels like we're still watching the prologue to... something. There's a whole lot of plotlines that have been seeded, but none of them feel important enough that they couldn't be waved away as hastily as Chad's non-story. Even Bad Coop's story arc so far has amounted to little more than establishing that he is out there, is bad and looking for... something.
Personally, I'd gladly trade wrapping anything up for a Part 8 Part II. So much so, that I'd be perfectly satisfied if the show ended right here. In Memory Of Dale Cooper and Douglas Jones², whatevs, let's just go back to the beautiful black and white madness.

This... would be a fantastic, memorable, completely Lynch/Frost batshit way of waving goodbye to BOB as the big bad, so that if there was a Season 4, they wouldn't have to rely on superimposed footage of Frank Silva to make up for the fact that he's been dead almost as long as the show's been cancelled.

Is Twin Peaks: The Return the Endless Eight of live-action television? :thinkingemoji

100% agree. Maybe one more episode of 'regular' weirdness with some closure or something and close the Season with a 2 hour grand finale black and white fuck up! Episode 8 is still by far the best thing this Season gave us so far imo. Plus the beginning of episode 3.
My girlfriend and I have been rewatching(her watching for the first time) in anticipation for the finale.
Episode 8 is fine but I still think its a little too far up its own ass to be a masterpiece or the best hour of television ever like over seen thrown around.
I think its haunting, important to the series, and downright fantastic. But the praise Ive seen scream I get it and Im a part of the club that likes subversive things for the sake of being subversive maybe thats just me though.
I concur. You are right. Perhaps you and me are in the minority here about episode 8 but that is fine or at least should be fine. Film/Lynch/tv shows etc are art. Even good thoughts for person A can be bad thoughts for Person B.

The Terrence Mallick stuff in episode 8 is exhausting and the Eraserhead stuff is difficult also. I like the bits where the woodsmen are haunting the community.
Good to hear Im not alone. Ive been told plenty of times that I dont get it or what ever. Trust me I get it, I just dont like it as much as you.

I understand you and respect your opinion completely but i dont understand how can it be too far up his own ass? I have seen this opinion more often but i dont really understand it.
Just a serious curiosity, not want to debate you or tell you otherwise
It just feels really over indulgent. Up its own ass is probably a little hyperbolic, but this is neogaf dudeI understand you and respect your opinion completely but i dont understand how can it be too far up his own ass? I have seen this opinion more often but i dont really understand it.
Just a serious curiosity, not want to debate you or tell you otherwise
I absolutely loved everything once the woodsmen entered the episode, but everything from the end of the NIN performance to the second time skip to later on feels like it could have been shortened by at least half the time. I understand that its supposed to be instilling certain feelings, and setting a certain tone but after a while o was just sitting there like. Okay I get it. The mother of all abominations managed to push bad stuff into the world (such as BOB) when the nuclear test created enough energy to force an opening. Lets move on.
That said, Ive jever been one for abstractions to help set a mood. I definitely see what they were going for with it, and I dont think people who love it and praise it are wrong for feeling that way, it just felt like it basked a little too much in its own message
That said the scene in the white lodge (i presume) was pretty good, if not a little meandering. Atmosphere goes a long way, but I get pulled out of an atmospheric scene really quick if its nothing BUT atmosphere. The giant slowly walking across one room, walking across another, walking up some stairs, walking across another room. Slow. Meandering. I was drawn in immediately and pulled out almost as quickly as each camera change showed me more of the same.
I think its a fine episode, and I think the things I dislike about it are the things that others love. I dont neccesarily think either side is wrong because of that. It explains a lot lore wise and sets up some stuff Im super interested in seeing pay off soon. I think its daring to air something like it on television as a stand-alone episode, and I think a lot of people praise it on that alone.

So whatever happened with the little boy and mother living across from where Dougie's car blew up? The one that kept saying 9-1-1 and was really drugged out? Did I miss something? I remember there was a scene with them in quite a few episodes earlier in the season and now nothing for several episodes.

Great explanation, Thanx for that! I can see where you are coming from and indeed there is no wrong on either side. For me everything clicked on that ep besides the NIN act. That took a bit too long.
