then why didn't they just do that instead of whatever the fuck s3 was
it had none of the warm comfy vibes from the og and every single character in the return was some awful 'subverted' anti-thesis of their original beloved incarnations

the whole point of the season is that times have changed, media has changed and "you can't go home again"

should twin peaks have awkwardly stagnated so people can have a bit of nostalgia? FWWM was a significant change from the original series as well due to the seriousness of the subject matter.

no one is saying that, all it need to do was be GOOD

coop lost 25 years of his life in the lodge, that's tragic, things changed, things had to change for that to have weight.

It's not bad. Your brain, however, is not sufficiently developed to grasp advanced storytelling elements like "subtext", "symbolism", "meta-narratives" or "subversion" (a word that hack Rian Johnson ruined with his shitty fucking "Last Jedi" movie). You should stick to capeshit and shonen.

I'll fight you there since if it doesn't exist in a relatively obvious way in the media itself it's not there, I hate subtext
Lynch would love it though, or rather, he would love that it existed and could be interpreted however, really
since he loved fucking with people

so lynch could get more screen time with his assistant sitting in hotels trading (badly acted) looks and drinking wine

>>218195816
Bob Cooper almost makes up for it, but there's nowhere near enough of him for that either
>>
>>218195916
yeah bad cooper ruled
I just don't get why the show was such a mess
>>
>>218195962
the rest of the series is a mess too
but I don't know how much of it was preplanned and how much is improv by Lynch but it seems like most of it is the latter
directors can be very bad at it, Peter Jackson is fucking horrible without a ton of preplanning
see: the hobbit
>>
Lynch might have known it'd be one of the last things he did so started tossing things in there that were shots/scenes he always wanted to do somehow, like that fantastic nuke scene that put Nolan to shame
>>
>>218196085
it felt that way 100%
that was a highlight of the season no doubt
the music performances were really out of place and odd too, like it was all lip syncing not even a genuine one off live song, which while odd, would have at least made sense to justify why tf they were there to begin with

I'd have to watch again but I didn't catch the lip syncing of course I usually zoned out of or skipped the musical bits
>Lynch might have known it'd be one of the last things he did
if you look at it this way they make sense, since he was something of a musician himself and obviously wanted to give the people that were in those bits a career bump
also there's shit in there that obviously was stuck in just because either he liked someone and wanted to work with them while he could in something, or they lobbied hard to get in it to work with him
>>
it's like him using what he might of thought of as his last high profile thing to give everyone he liked and wanted to a check and a career bump
>>
>>218196222
picrel was such a great, in-universe feeling moment
I don't get why the rest of the show went out of its way to not give people what they wanted which was simply
MORE twin peaks, things that captured the essence of why the show was great
s3 was honestly just a poorly shot, meandering slog for 90% of its runtime, and the script/story was genuinely awful, even the best dialogue felt super clunky
>>
File deleted.
>>218196296
how many weeks/months will you be at this bro

on that note since the original sheriff couldn't do it because health reasons I wouldn't be surprised if Lynch paid him for the phone call scenes he's not even in or something
he liked to fuck with people but he was a genuinely good hearted person

they don't black smudge you like that unless you lose a bunch of money, especially not someone of his tier

nobody expects some $3 million film to rake in $100 million, if it happens great but it's not an expectation
>>
>>218196423
to be fair inland empire fucking sucked too so I get it
I'm starting to think the network reigning in his bullshit on the og series contributed to its timelessness, not detracted
its also clear either frost lost his touch in s3 or had nothing to do with it

It was just sad because cooper was stuck in the lodge for 25 years and when he escaped he wasn't himself, and then when he finally regained his cognition he immediately goes and fucks up massively
>>
>>218196690
why didn’t he give a thumbs up
>>
>>218193975
>>218196887
because Cooper was a character that, as soon as he got out, and thought he understood, was immediately going to solve it, hence ending the series
Dougie filler is just something else to do with Kyle while whatever else Lynch wanted in there goes on
>>
that and a handful of ideas may have been all that was had going in, and it just turned into being whatever Lynch wanted to do, thinking of it as his last big project
>>
>>218196555
>It was unwatchable and amateurish
What was amateurish about it?
>>
>>218196965
There was a whole detailed script written with lynch and frost for years but Lynch only kept some stuff and would toss shit away while filming. It was made more like an 18 hour lynch movie rather than a tv show
>>
>>218196940
I liked dougie. There just wasn't enough Cooper
>>
>>218194041
One theory for why it took so long for Cooper to get his memories back, is that Lynch was fighting tooth and claw to feature the old cast even in reduced capacity, as the revival almost never happened because Showtime for the longest time, told Lynch that a condition for the revival would be that he could only bring Kyle back as Cooper, as far as them wanting season three/the Return to be Cooper, having been freed off-screen during the gap, basically in a new location solving a new supernatural mystery that was 100% divorced from season one-two.

>because either he liked someone and wanted to work with them while he could in something, or they lobbied hard to get in it to work with him
sticking some of those people as characters that had no real reason to be in the story in there, like the casino guys in Vegas, shoehorning that to work with everything else somehow
while being "what Dougie's doing" while he's making sure the other characters that are only there because they were in the rest of the series in for extended scenes like the brothers with the hotel, the one being too high to find his way back, etc

I wasn't aware of this at all and it explains it perfectly, he's fucking with SHOWTIME with Dougie, lel
it's not actually aimed at the audience at all

my sides

>>218197041
the bit wore out its welcome after 2 episodes
we got 12 more
>>
>>218197073
interesting idea that sort of makes sense, but i think >>218196940 is right, and that had cooper came out the lodge fully aware the series would have naturally been over pretty quick

dougie let lynch give the show a bit of light heartedness, let him play around with the unconsciousness concept, while also reinforcing both the tragedy of cooper and the overall scheming of the higher powers in the series
>>
>>218192261
I’m thinking Kino.
>>
>>218197228
bullshit
no one wanted brain dead coop for 16 hours
it should have been good coop vs bad coop period
it writes itself and doesn't explain why lynch chose to write bad archs for all his good 'friends' that have zeror impact on the story

Dougie was also fucking funny. Felt like Lynch's version of Forrest Gump of this barely moving or audible man just falling upwards into success constantly. Much needed light hearted fun considering it was the background to the FBI/Richard/Bib stuff.
