I'm glad the show has ventured outside of the town of Twin Peaks. I find this more exciting. I couldn't help watching some clips on You Tube. Looks fantastic. It's great that Lynch has been given the freedom to do what he wants otherwise it just wouldn't be pure Lynch and this would hinder my enjoyment somewhat.
It's good to have the previous Twin Peaks series and film fresh in the memory, I am watching season one again at the moment in conjunction to season three just to see what I can cross reference. I would certainly rewatch Fire Walk with Me ;)
I am totally hooked on Twin Peaks again I must have listened to two dozen Season Three discussion podcasts.
Don't miss out on the current excitement for the show ;)
Shovel your way out of shit!
Also the Dougie/Cooper coffee scene had me in stitches.
Twin Peaks season 3 episode 5 was hilarious.
Not sure how long they can keep the Dougie thing going, Lynch is known for drip feeding things so who knows but so far I'm enjoying this.
Laura Dern was fantastic and Gordon and Albert are a great double act.
Loved the sweeping scene with Green Onions sound tracking it and the rather creepy phone call another member of the Renault family was having.
There is nothing like this on TV and I'm loving it.
I loved every minute so far but episode 7 was where things started to move along plot wise.
If you are a Lynch fan you know what to expect and I knew it wasn't going to be a re-tread of the old Twin Peaks.
While this recent episode has been the most straight forward it's still far removed from the Peaks of old.
Lynch has done it again, there really is nothing like Twin Peaks on television.
Yeah, Breaking Bad was absolute quality in every way.
Undiluted Lynch dialled up to 11, some are saying that it's like some student art project and I'm not entirely sure if I enjoyed it but this is clearly the film maker that gave us Eraserhead.
It was just too damn weird, quite frankly probably the strangest assault on senses in TV history for me to dismiss it.
I won't lie I am looking forward to coming back down to earth for episode 9 but there did seem some plot advancement hidden in there amongst that amazing B&W photography.
We'll be getting a break next week but after last weeks almost traditional form this just went off the cliff in comparison.
I thought it was the most mesmerising television. Simply amazing. Plenty of mythos explained and expanded upon.
I think this episode proves his vision is unique and while many obviously have been influenced by him there is no one quite like David Lynch.
"Gotta light"
Slowly the show seemed to become more coherent and nostalgic as it went by. Initial episodes really seemed to be more in keeping with Lynch’s latter cinematic work, with occasional pangs of the familiar. I rather enjoyed this approach, but there seemed to be deliberate occasions where Lynch was purposely trying to tease and even bore me.
Slowly the more familiar aspects of the show have fallen a little flat – Lynch’s comedic timing as a director is poor (all the police station scenes are dead on arrival). Having said that the FBI plot is brilliant, with Lynch proving surprisingly effective. Gordon Cole was nothing more than an irritating cartoon character in the original series (though he was never without his charms) but he’s worked fantastically in the new series. Also Miguel Ferrier is the stand-out of the new series – no one can deliver that cynical and hard-boiled dialogue quite like him. Laura Dern is also on scene-stealing form.
Though the lack of a clear and central mystery makes it hard to hang any of the more surreal aspects on to. In fact, the show is deliberately pulling in several different directions at any one time. Each episode wants to do something drastically different to the last – hich means the show is never not surprising. Though it often means that any questions raised are often left unanswered.
This is obviously a style Lynch has honed over the years, but over the course of 18 episodes and a number of weeks of speculation, it’s already getting frustrating. This style doesn’t really suit the weekly television model. For example, so many questions have been posed and I haven’t been given any real answers. Why haven’t I seen more of Shelly’s daughter? Is Bobby the father? Why haven’t I seen a scene between them yet? Instead I get to watch 3 minutes of a man sweeping up a club…..it’s getting a tad annoying.
Kyle MacLachlan is brilliant this series. He has a difficult task and is doing it so well. Though the less said about Dougie Jones, the better. God I’m bored of that shtick.
What has become clear about the new Twin Peaks is that it ain’t your old Twin Peaks….There is seriously no point tying to string together anything resembling narrative cohesion this time out. The show is best appreciated as an insight into the mind of David Lynch – a chance to escape into his world and saturate yourself in all it’s bizarre wonder.
The most recent episode was clear evidence of this. It has to be one of the more abstract, avant-garde and outwardly odd episodes of television ever. In many ways, the new Twin Peaks often feels like a show I expect to be playing in one of those small dark rooms in the Tate Modern. It often feels like a modern art piece than a TV show.
There are lots of these in the new series. Absolutely great!
This. Lynch has crafted an excruciatingly slow-burner that was built for weekly television. Every episode leaves me anxious for what's to come next. And leaving us with a 2 week break following that masterful episode 8 is killer. Gotta light?
I'm not afraid to call this season Lynch's Magnum Opus. And this is coming from someone who worships the likes of Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive as among the greatest in cinema.
Rebeka del Rio: can't be any better than this...
That being said it was a very strange scene, but that's Twin Peaks for you.
Okay, I'm a fan of the third season. Darkly comedic, infused with some Mullholland Drive and Eraserhead and even Inland Empire, it comes with lots of surprises. E.g. I don't mind the Dougie stuff at all. I think it's great. Straining our patience? Perhaps. But also rewarding it I think. ;-)
