Red Mosquito

Francesca Eastwood reminds me of Sheryl Lee. I wonder if she has a role similar to Laura Palmer in a it's happening again kind of plot.

I'm also vibrating with excitement at the idea of more Badalamenti-penned Twin Peaks music.

Absolutely, but i think considering the format of the show was episodes consisting of events taking place within 24 hours in consecutive days, a 2nd season as long as it was revolving around Laura's murder would have still worked.

Generally i think that Twin Peaks could have gone on for years if it was made of a series of limited seasons. It's why i also think the 25 jump in time is very functional for the show.

How much do the Missing Pieces scenes add to the show? I have a fan edit of Fire Walk With Me with those scenes added in, but I've yet to watch it.

Twin Peaks was so far ahead of its time. If only it was premiering now. It could easily get a deal done for seasons of smaller episode orders. It would thrive on an 8-13 episode structure. Really, American shows have had the opportunity to do this (HBO, AMC, Netflix, etc) because of the example of Twin Peaks.

I haven't actually watched it. But I'm told they're great.

While I agree with this and hope to god that this 2017 iteration of the series lives up to the creative highs of the original, I can't help but think that there's just some sort intangible thing essential to the atmosphere that would have been lost if the original series premiered now. The music is so essential and those actors are so good, but it's all very rooted in that time. Yet, a viewing of Twin Peaks never feels like nostalgia porn.

Yeah, I was just saying if all of it, the cast and everything, happened now. A good part of what made it special where the specific people involved. That changes and so does the overall tone, for sure.

I don't think David and Mark are going into this as a nostalgia project, though. I don't think they're trying to recapture anything. I think they are genuinely interested in finishing their story on their terms. This will feel different in a lot of ways. I expect this to be just as genuine as the original run but in a new way.

They planted so much in the original series that lends itself to this. All the "I'll see you in 25 years" and "the next time you see me I won't be me" stuff. It's almost like this was always the plan.

And I think David's initial resistance and need to have the budget he wanted and all of that early on is indicative of that as well. This will be Twin Peaks Season 3 but it's not going to be nostalgia; not a rehash/copy/reboot of Twin Peaks S1 or S2.

I agree with this wholeheartedly and I think people who are expecting this to pick up where the old series left off are setting themselves up for disappointment. I've already seen posts like that elsewhere, as though the purpose of the new series is for Lynch and Frost to resolve every loose end from events that took place 25 years before. In discussing the project Lynch has made clear that 25 years have passed since the events shown previously and with that in mind things are going to look and feel very different. I can't wait.

Me too, man. I'm just over the moon. I really can't believe this is happening. Can not wait to see what they come up with.

I want Lynch to cast Louis in this.

I wouldn't really want it to pick up where it left, you're right though, many people expect it to. Frost wrote a book that it's supposed to cover the 25 years in between the seasons.
I wouldn't even mind if Cooper wasn't possessed by BOB any more even if it would make sense he was by the show's logic.

I just watched the whole series again this past week. The wait for season 3 is going to be killer.

I'm starting my rewatch right now. First time in HD!

I forgot how funny this show could be.

"Bless your heart, Laura..."

All the goosebumps. All the feelings. All the excitement.



Watching Kyle talk about this thing is so moving. He looks so overwhelmed. This is going to be something special.

Mark Frost's kind-of-prequel book The Secret History of Twin Peaks came out this week and people are losing their minds that he's retconned tons of stuff from the series without any discernible reason. People have cancelled their orders, are posting angry screeds on forums and sending Mark Frost snarky Tweets. Mark did an interview and said he and David didn't even watch the old series before they started the new one and man, that really wound them up!

It's fantastic.

Edited from a larger rant:

I imagine many of us are just feeling what Star Wars fans were feeling when episodes I-III came out and when Lucas started fucking with the original movies (adding in shit, changing details, etc.)

...

So here in Twin Peaks we have details like who owned the Ghostwood property when, what Ed and Nadine's backstory is, how old Laura was, and many others that are now different (in a book) than they were before. Sure, we are definitely getting something under the header of Twin Peaks that features a lot of familiar characters, it's beautifully bound, the history is interesting, etc. But Frost fucked with canon. Doesn't matter which specific details they are. It is completely unnecessary and, to me, sort of takes a dump on the actors, directors and writers of certain parts of the original TV series.

Oh no, it's not canon!

Nobody is going to hate the new Twin Peaks series more than some ardent fans and I can't wait.

Fans...ugh.

These days its impossible not to have a group of people complaining about something.

GUYS FUCKIN RELAX, THERE IS A NEW SEASON OF TP.

Kyle MacLauchlan was really outspoken and honest about his opinions of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Because of that and his long term relationship with Lynch, I 100% trust him to be honest now. If he's impressed and moved to tears, then I imagine all of us will be too. Kyle gets it. This is going to be amazing.
