It has been the whole time, it's just more awkward
I love the trend of ending each episode with a song/performance

He was also acting strangely, sort of like how real Coop is acting now. Wonder if both Coop and Boop existing at the same time is making them both diminished, and both merely repeating simple phrases in the service of their goals? Coop trying to get home. Boop trying to get out of prison.

I'll start watching tomorrow, but did episodes 3 & 4 leak or something? I figured the two hour premiere would be Part 1 and Part 2 combined.

1 and 2 were shown on TV
All four are available on their on demand/streaming services
Why? I don't know. Maybe because they've seen how batshit everything is and wanted to throw people a bone so they could sort of wrap their heads around some semblance of a setup for the season

Was going to save 3 & 4 for tomorrow night but I just couldn't. I watched them all and it was so good!
Ep 4:
Well those four episodes flew by, and depending how the rest of the season goes down, we could be witnessing the culmination of Lynch's career. The next two weeks are gonna be looooong.
Albert and Gordan are probs going to go find Audrey, at least that's the feeling I get. This episode was probably the lightest in terms of Lynchian imagery, and which made it feel a lot lighter in terms of tone. Still, the prison scene was very creepy.

Ugh just finished the first episode. This isn't at all the same Twin Peaks I watched and loved. Does it ever get back into that hokey melodrama that was so great about the original series or does it keep getting weirder and darker?
EP 4 will probably be your cup of tea

100% agree. 4 hours just vanished and I suspect if it was all out on something like Netflix, I'd watch it all without much stopping. But I am glad it's airing slowly now. Gives more time for digestion.
And the first 4 episodes really are a culmination of everything he's ever done. I can't imagine it changing as it goes on. It's just utterly spectacular to see Lynch back and back in all his glory. I didn't know what to expect going in and am pretty blown away by how much I love the first four hours.
So just finished episodes 1 and 2 and well where to begin... screw it, that way leads to madness so I'm not even going to try.
Just gotta say this was amazing. It felt so much like how I think of Twin Peaks if that makes any sense, it was staggering.
The greatest achievement of all was how the show somehow made me feel elated when James came on screen. Chromatics didn't hurt either.

Hope for the season:
Amnesia Cooper is entertaining but I really hope we aren't stuck with that for too much longer, they're laying the groundwork for so much crazy stuff that I'd rather get into that instead of wasting time on him being dumb. I can't tell if they're setting up that it's going to take all season for Cooper to come back as he was, and that's the main conflict, or if this is all just weird shenanigans before he comes back to help fix the other things/stop evil Cooper. Hoping for the latter....
I thoroughly enjoyed "Helloooooo" but honestly the amnesia trope where a character becomes pretty much useless is an annoyance for me, it's just frustrating to watch lol

Completely agree, wouldn't have it any other way

I couldn't watch the next 2 episodes if I tried, still reeling from the first 2.

Did you watch the whole series? Because there's a lot of weird and dark there. And come on - everyone knows this show will be darker.
This is it. There are no more seasons.
Lynch has everything planned and will tie it up.
I agree. But I don't think it'll last too much longer. We want him to be his old self.

Disagree.
The old Twin Peaks, barring something drastic changing, is gone. This is pure heroin Lynch. The "I'm making my lunch!!!" Lynch. There's barely any music, no relationships growing in a world of melodrama, just one insanely bizarre setpiece after another. It's very much a personal David Lynch project, already his weirdest, that he somehow got Showtime to fund 18 hours of. Episode 4 is the weirdest yet. The Adventures of Real Coop is going to set the Television Recap Industrial Complex on fire. No one will have any clue how to react to it. Lynch got NAOMI WATTS to star in, basically, a dumber version of Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
That said, I love it all, there has never ever been anything like this.

Just finished episode 4.
I agree that I hope braindead Cooper doesn't stick around for much longer. It's a bit too goofy, especially in contrast to the serious tone of nearly everything else. I love that they didn't ignore some of the major points from The Secret History of Twin Peaks and even included Agent Preston as a contributing character.
As far as the plot goes, I'm really intrigued by where they're going to go with Jeffries. That's a character I didn't expect to see again.

Can someone tell me who was who in the bar scene at the end of the episode? I guess James was the motorcycle kid (was his hair always blonde?)

Finished the first two episodes, they were great. I'm not sure how to watch 3 and 4 in Canada, so I'll just wait till next week. Till then I'll hide from this thread for fear of spoilers.
Got it, thanks.
Guys, I just watched 1 and 2 and... it's everything I wanted plus a whole lot of things I never knew I wanted. I LOVED IT
Gosh I'm so emotional right now I feel a little embarrassed. But yes. Twin Peaks, it's back. And so much more. I'm sure it won't be a lot of people's thing but man... that was some top tier Lynch right there, I can't get my head around the amount of episodes I've still got to look forward to.
David Lynch is 71 and he's still got it. How.
That was hilarious. Best Twin Peaks lore.

We'll see. It can't all be like this for 18 eps. Plus most of the original cast came back, and a lot of that cast was part of mundane storylines. The original series started weird, reigned in, got weird, reigned in, ended weird. There were peaks and valleys. So, we'll see.
