My boy Motionless-kun needs some love.
LOVE HIM AS I DO.
He creeped me out in all honesty.
I'm wondering if he was just a one-time scare thing or if he's ever going to get explained though.
I also just randomly remembered the actor for the Jumping Man is in this season.

In FWWM, above the convenience store (the scene overlaid with Jefferies ramblings) there's a man at the back with a black beard. Same character? Just going out but if someone can post a pic for further discussion later that would be grand!
Quick edit - maybe not because not even sure that gut has a beard now. Worth a gander anyway...
He's the best! He doesn't move and comes with a detachable floating face feature. What a great guy!
At this rate, Jump-chan is going to end up playing a perfectly normal human being (hope I'm wrong, I miss that nose).
Hence why the revival - which seems to be a surprisingly direct follow-up to Cooper's more ephemeral Black Lodge shenanigans - may prove even more inaccessible to a mainstream audiences.
I love the show, by the way. Not attacking it. It's just that Twin Peaks season 1 - and even Blue Velvet, to some extent - made concessions to genre that brought in more mainstream audiences. They're more like Lynchian-flavored neo-noirs than the hellish dreamscapes of Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway.
This is a follow-up to Twin Peaks, of course - and I'd argue that it's easier to follow than his last few films if you're familiar with how season 2 ended - but the plot itself is definitely not going to hook mainstream audiences in the way that the Laura Palmer mystery did.
Sure positive reception is always nice, but commercially speaking? I honestly don't give a fuck about ratings at this point. The episodes have been made. I can't imagine we won't get them all no matter how that stuff goes. And I'm sure we'll get a Blu-ray too. I really don't need anything else. 
I mean such success would be nice if it means more David Lynch, but if this the last thing he gets to do I'll be pretty okay with that too.
Yeah, it's still sounding impressive to me but I'm sure you're right about the issues.
I really don't know about that, I've got the Blu-ray set in HD, and looking at old SD footage it got colour corrected for that release anyway. I also think the red room looks better in photographic stills from the original series. It looked better in Fire Walk with Me too.
But it's not that big of a deal in the end, I just really love the red room scenes in the original and they haven't been quite right in this if you ask me. But it's fine.

You can really see the difference in those pictures, thanks.
Oval Jesus Fish ring ain't the ring though, that's a pretty interesting puzzle to me.

I didn't understand that at all. Explain?
I do too, but I more meant original source. Cameras are better now.
It's probably just something Lynch saw in a dream once.

I've only seen through Part 3, but the show is still Twin Peaks. It's just 25 years later. That means everyone in front of and behind the camera is older and more experienced. Plus Evil Cooper has been fucking shit up for the past 25 years.
It would be disingenuous to continue the same style of 1990. That doesn't exist in real life and shouldn't in Twin Peaks.
I love the new opening credit sequence. It say that this is a new perspective on a thing you loved and that the Red Room/Black Lodge is a major part of it. It's invading the regular elements of the show.
Also the special effects are exactly Lynch. For the most part his filmography is filled with apparent artificiality. The small cooked chickens in Eraserhead (amongst many others in the film), the robin at the end of Blue Velvet, original Twin Peaks had bizzare compositing, Inland Empire's projected creepy faces.
I have no doubt this series looks exactly like Lynch wants it. The sound design too, for that matter.

So far I'm getting the feeling that this will serve as the denouement of Lynch's entire filmography. It is still very much Twin Peaks but so far it's veering more into the Fire Walk With Me then the early part of the show's original run. It also shares a great deal in common with his other films. It's narrative dissonance is right out of Muholland Drive or Lost Highway and it's even veered into Eraserhead/Inland Empire territory. It won't be for everyone but Twin Peaks has already answered the call that it can still be the trendsetter in Tv world which has longed cribbed from the original show.

Ep 4:
Naomi Watts!!!
We're only 4 episodes in, but I would be pretty pissed off if Kyle Maclachlan does not get some major recognition for his role as Booper. Give him all the Globes and all the Emmys, he deserves them.
Hm, yeah, I don't think that's the reason behind the colour difference. It just feels like a different choice, and one that I admittedly do consider to be somewhat of a downgrade.
Yes. It looked bad, especially considering we had some good corpses earlier. Like an ugly video game.
I'm going to pretend it was a cheesy FBI recreation for some reason.

I don't think it was CG, but I didn't observe it closely so I'd have to go back and check myself.
The season has some weird effects in places, but the 3D stuff has been constrained to other odd editing techniques.

I don't think that was actually Agent Jeffries on the phone, but Bad Cooper makes it seem as if he's been talking to someone he at least THINKS is Jeffries. The phone call seems suspect though, and I'd wager is coming from someone or something else entirely.
5. There's a scene at the very end of The Secret History of Twin Peaks book where
Briggs says he's receiving a visit from Agent Cooper, realistically pretty soon after the end of the original series. Briggs notes that he thinks there's something very different about Cooper, and calls for MAYDAY. The repercussions of which aren't yet known.

I was in the bath and suddenly I got an image of a Victorian chimney sweep in a jail cell...

When I first saw him I thought he looked like the bearded fella from FWWM's "formica table" scene.
Just blacked up. For... reasons.
If it's meant to be Jeffries you'd think he'd at least have the accent. I don't know, I really hope that's the reason it didn't even bother to make him sound like Jeffries.
I'll take a screenshot later if I remember to, but it really looked like awful CG to me.

Sky Atlantic Germany has the German rights for S3. Don't count on it appearing on Amazon Video.Well, **** this. No news on the availability of season 3 via Amazon Video in Germany...

Ep 4:
Please let braindead Coop become... not braindead. I can't take this much longer.
As someone who is easily creeped/freaked out by scary things and absolutely HATES jump scares, would you recommend me to watch episode 1 at 11 PM right before going to bed?
Bob got me pretty shook in s1 and s2 but I was with my boyfriend back then, so it was sorta OK. I don't have him around now though
That gif of the creepy guy in the prison cell posted above is really freaking me out, but if that's all, I can handle it since I know what to expect. If there's more stuff like that, or jump scares, then I'll wait.
Thnx ;_;

I don't want to be that guy, but I'll have to find a "different" way of watching it.
Like all the gore shots so far, it's a poorly-edited photo. It's kind of sad how bad that stuff looks. So far all of those murder scenes would have more impact if they'd cut to black before the poorly photoshopped punchline.
Only the holes in their skulls are CG'd in. The whole shot looks like plastic because they're covered in blood with purple light bouncing off of it.

I can't imagine it'll go on too much longer. At least I hope not. I'm hoping the coffee in Ep 4 woke something up inside him lmao.

So, what are the general, no-spoilers, impressions of these 4 episodes?
No, I still haven't watched them, and I skipped the posts above in case of spoilers.

so did the toilet
Hm, I thought the earlier corpses looked fine in comparison but I guess I just didn't pay enough attention to those, I'm sure you're right. That one I noticed right away though, so I figure it must have been worse somehow.
But yeah, I guess it's the plastic look (which would've probably be fine on its own?) combined with the bad photoshop that gave me that CG impression?

Four is the most like the old show. That seems to be the only consensus. I loved the first two, struggled with the third and liked the fourth.

I'd have to say no, that hobo isn't the only thing in the first episode alone and I would say some of the stuff so far may have topped the original series in creepiness.
this is also from episode 1:

LOL ok yeah I love Twin Peaks and I've been counting down the days till the new season, but I'll wait until it's nice and sunny outside before attempting to watch this, haha
Thanks both!
It's the same actor and he's listed in the credits as Jean-Michael Renault. I don't know if it's just a cameo or a some weird secret twin.

The guy in the prison cell is nothing compared to a certain scene that happens in that episode. If that freaked you out, then yeah you might want to wait until the morning to watch it haha. Some creepy stuff in this season so far.
Interesting.
