>watching twin peaks for the first timeYou guys didn't tell me this was a soap opera...
>>220883580David Lynch was trolling you
>>220883580It's not.It's everything.Every tv trope and genre filtered through the mind of David Lynch.
>>220883580I feel like such a girl watching soaps like Twin Peaks and Mad Men butit's kinda fun too lol
>>220883610David Lynch trolled pseuds into believing he made art. Which, I guess if you are post-modernist enough, is art.
>>220883630>Mad Men>Girl soap>When have the episodes are basically about sexy women showing their bodiesYou're a retard.
>>220883580That's a damn fine piece of pie
>>220883630you need cock to break you in, friendoinstall grindr and get sucking
>>220883642Yes retard, women hate being ogled, especially by rich powerful men who the show portrays as easily swayed by feminine charm.
>>220883580Also I hope this guy was nominated for worst actor award because god damn he sucks
>>220883661dont tempt me
Is Season 4 possible?
>>220883665Do you even know what era the show takes place? Yes, men were fucking women like that all the time. There was no aids. There was no herpes or syphilis unless you went to actual filthy women.
>>220883680Only with AI. Lynch said he was pro AI so get started on it.
>>220883580it becomes even more soap operay in the 2nd season.Its a soap opera sprinkled with surreal "lynch" scenes
>>220883640You admitted it, so i have no need to dignify that with a response.
>>220883718I am not post-modern enough to call it art thoughbeit.
>>220883640muh postmodernism
>>220883674Everyone's a bad actor in Twin Peaks, its intentional with the soap opera feel.
>>220883680Mark Frost is working on something supposedly, might be another book.There's a bunch of stuff in the return that was 100% his ideas.Including bob and judy being released during the atomic bomb.
>>220883680Without Lynch? Who'd possibly want that?
>>220883580its so good. i had no idea what it was gonna be like. binged it when I had the flu. heightened the experience desu
>>220883828Showtime? Netflix? Amazon?
>>220883580She was so cute, what happened bros :(
Season 01: semi-parody of nbc/abc/cbs primetime 80s soaps, murder mysteries, and police stories with slight surrealism.Season 02: First half is the same with more surrealism and sci-fi/paranormal stuff. Second half adds more parody and comedy, ends with the most dark and surreal episode of television ever.Movie: Drama and horror movie with surreal elements, very little comedy.Season 3: Everything from before but amped up to 10.
>>220883828Frost would write. I would direct. What are my credentials? I hate MCU movies.
>>220883674reddit moment
I feel smarter than everyone else because I really 'got' this show.
>>220883927I'm currently on S2E4. When does the amnesia plot come in?
>>220883677You'd better not have used my pictures for a fake grinder account creep. I get my boys organically.
>>220883904Let me rephrase that: Who'd want to see that?
>>220884049Season 3, Episode 3.
>>220884049Once the killer plotline in season 2 is over, it goes hard into bad comedy, if you hate james, you can skip over his entire plotline during that point because it has nothing to do with anything else, it's really worth watching for the last 2 episodes of the season. The movie is extremely important as well, especially to the plot of season 3, I highly recommend the blue rose cut of the film instead of the theatrical, it adds 30 minutes from what was cut.Link herehttps://archive.org/details/fwwm-extended-blue-rose-cut
>>220883580I recently watched it for the first time as well. It's a little tough to get through long seasons since everything these days is like 8 episodes
>>220883580>see handsome man on poster>don't expect something aimed at womenRetard
>>220883580and it's the only good one
>>220883580Literally everything about it tell you it's a soap opera.
>>220883674James was always cool, nigger faggot
FWWM is shit
>>220883580I watched at least the first season before and it seemed like a soap opera. I'm watching it again now and it's really batshit insane. I guess I'm paying more attention. There are also so many characters and every person has their significant other and then the one they are cheating with.
>>220883642GOOD MORNING, SIR!
>>220884751No. Watch >>220884267You'll 100% change your mind. Especially if you enjoyed season 3.
>>220884820that was a statement not a question
>>220884773Good morning, Rajsneed.
>>220883580Zoom zoom.
>>220884754Some of it feels so forced too, like Sherriff and the gook.
>>220883927>Season 01: semi-parody of nbc/abc/cbs primetime 80s soaps, murder mysteries, and police stories with slight surrealism.even had it's own parody
>>220883580bros... nobody told me that twin peaks was a moving picture on a screen!
>>220883580It's a mock Soap Opera because Soap Opera's were popular at the time. The second half (The Return) is a mock true crime show because they were popular at the time. Twin Peaks is about television (dreams)
>>220883674James is a /tv/ board
>>220883580It's a soap that makes fun of soaps. But sometimes it's just a soap.Some lmao is the the main theme blasting out of nothing; the double lmao is that shitty main theme is taken seriously by soap lovers, and so it doubles as hilarious for who is on the joke.
>>220883580>You guys didn't tell me this was a soap opera...we did, newfag
>>220888596Hey, what's the crime?
>>220883580It's a masterpiece
>>220883580it's everythingit's Jung distilled into drama, mystery and surrealism stick with it you'll understand
>>220883674keki love the show but I'm not gonna give you a lot of pushback on this guy
>>220888984it's a good tunehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZZHrK311aw
>>220889865>>220889850Do you suggest skipping episodes 10-16 of season 2?
>>220889919no, they're bad in a good wayyou need to focus and appreciate the journey
>>220889919What? Fuck no, why would you do that?
>>220883907I remember watching Wayne's World as a kid and thinking Wayne was retarded for ghosting her.
>>220889919Don't skip them, They're not important, They're bad in an entertaining way, But they will make the finale more anticipatory and rewarding.
>>220890080This, you can't appreciate the payoff without taking the ride.
>>220884751you gotta watch the comaland miniseries cut
>>220890061Apparently they're horrendous, no involvement from the creators, and add nothing to the actual story.
>>220884754This onion has so many layers I stopped peeling. I've done my best and found a lot but it just keeps on giving.
>>220884751Not true at all.As a standalone I can see why others might not like it, but if you've seen the show it's an excellent addition.
Not sure if this is still the case, but like 10-15(?) years ago I used to always see an episode guide for this show posted in threads pretty much saying to skip most of the middle of season 2. Glad I didn't listen to it, or else I would have missed out of some of the best scenes like the Ben Horne civil war stuff.
>>220890160it's kino and makes the payoff all the better for it i didn't mind Windom either
>>220890160This?
>>220890114zoomer moment
>>220883580Lynch intended it to be a full paranormal mystery ride but studio execs (jews who put the money) insisted in adding (season 1) bits of a soap opera because that was what it had the highest ratings back then, Lynch opposed initially but ultimately cave in completely because season 1 ratings by the end were not so go, hence why we got a full on soap opera in season 2 and none of it 27 years later in season 3.
>>220890192Yeah, that's the one. I hope you guys still don't consider this to be a good guide to the show.>mad sketchyShows just how old this image is. Also, calling anything Lynch (or anything non-conventional for that matter) "mad sketchy" is such a normie thing to say to begin with.
>call for help
>>220883580They aimed for Peyton Place, so yeah
>>220890160>>220890187Also a lot of the lore first gets introduced in that part of the show, specifically episode 11, if you are someone who appreciates that. I'm normally not but enjoyed the black lodge white lodge stuff.
>>220883640he did make art and you trying to look smarter or above David only makes you look more Lynched
>>220883674james was always cool kys tourist
>>220883580>You guys didn't tell me this was a soap opera...That's the brilliance of Lynch though... He took the comfy primetime "Murder She Wrote" aesthetic you saw your grandma watching while she babysat you... and turned into something more weird, sinister, and avant-garde.
>>220890192I saw this guide during my first watch last year. The James arc in season 2 was seriously overblown. The only part I got tired of was the civil war shit, I got filtered hard by that.
>>220890192I just remember I hated the storyline with James and the femme fatale and the other one with the curly hair broad sexing the two geriatrics
>>220890525and also the bullshit where catherine returns as an old japanese guy
>>220884751trvth nvkeso is season 3
>>220890160this. there is a very noticeable quality drop, but no episode is skippable, none. maybe the scenes from james milf adventures but why would you skip a cool guy. you are watching tv / kino history, enjoy the warts too
>>220883797>he's merely pretending to be awful!
>>220883797Someone forgot to tell this to Kyle MacLachlan.
>>220889919>skipping GENERAL LEEngmi
>>220890582t. The Arm
>>220883797Guy who played Leland is pretty good. Hams it up a lot, but is good at the emotion stuff too.
>>220890432I dunno, man. I like Twin Peaks best when it doesn't elaborate. Those scenes in season two, when Major Briggs and Hawk star to lore dump is when it becomes... less interesting. I know during that period neither Lynch nor Frost were that involved with the show and both tied up in other projects, and it was probably the skeleton crew of writers cannibalizing the shows bible, but I still kinda blame Frost for it. Because , for one, there's still some of that in season 3 and secondly, Frost's books are pretty much all that l.It's just... derivative in a way that the stuff Lynch made on his own isn't. The terms "White Lodge" and "Black Lodge" are cribbed from Crowley's Moonchild, the Term "Dugpa" is from buddhism (Although Frost might know it from Helena Blavatsky), the Dweller on the Threshold is from C.G. Jung and let's not even get into that whole embarassing fucking dialogue in Season 3 where they go on about how Judy is a Chinese demon named Jiao Dae or something. Or Frost's books when he starts referencing Jack Parsons.I do find all that stuff interesting, generally speaking, which is why I know where all of that's from. I studied western occultism a decent amount but it clashes with Lynch's way of just letting images be images and have their meaning be... intuitive. There's no one in Inland Empire relating the Rabbits to animal headed egyptian gods or in Mulholland Drive to theorize out loud that the Cowboy is a manifestation of a Jungian archetype as transformed by film. You can read them as those, if you're boring, but I'm pretty sure Lynch Lynch would have probably just shrugged if you told him about it.I mean, I don't want to be a dick, I know without Nark Frost there wouldn't be a Twin Peaks at all but I genuinely feel that the series was as good as he was, mostly despite of him. And, mean as it sounds, really peaked with the one part he didn't have any direct involvement in, Fire Walk With Me.
>>220891055Fair take.I see it like this:Mark Frost is the world builder - he sets the stage. David Lynch is the artist, he walks out onto the stage and explores the possibilities.Together, they are much more than the sum of their parts.
>>220883580i told you.it doesn't get better btw, only gets worse as seasons go on.
>>220883640Sounds to me like you done got Lynched, son.
>>220883674James was never, ever cool.
>>220883687>There was no aidsAnon, I...
I can't believe its been ten years since s3. Its weird that I was probably at my happiest in the lead up to S3. I remember the long summer nights vibing to the music and shitposting on /tv/. Getting wasted and laughing my ass off watching Civil War Ben (Kino). I had friends and hope. Things were going to turn out okay. Then I think it was part 17/18 and some long running mental health shit hit me like a ton of bricks. Life took a irrecoverable nose dive. Destroyed 90% of my relationships and almost offed myself. So its weird looking back on a shkw that symbolises so much, good and bad to me. Sorry for blog postJust wanna point out that Windom is 10/10 villain too
>>220883674JUST (You)>JUST (You)
>>220892524>Windom is a 10/10 villain He was a literal Saturday morning cartoon
>>220891055all the "hard" fluff is obviously mark frost. lynch spends almost zero time on lore shit unless he has an idea for an enigmatic scene. almost no exposition too, I can't think of any lynch work that had characters sit down and actually give hard exposition unless it's dune or something
>>220890582season 3 has picrel, sorry but you are incorrecto
>>220892543The lowest low point in television history.
Kino.
>>220883580Yes, I did tell you that. You did what no one else did, which was not listen
>>220892702Jeremy Irons explaining the source material of the movie they're shooting to Laura Dern and Justin Thoreaux in Inland Empire is the closest I can think of.
Dexter is a better soap
>>220883797No, hell no. There's a bit of camp, a bit of inexperience, and a lot of uncanniness but it adds to the absurd vibe. Majority of them are good actors and great for their roles. James and the chink are straight up bad at acting, Catherine does okay sometimes and literally screams I'M ACTING, LOOK AT ME DOING THEATER in some scenes.
>>220890582I don't consider S3 to be canon.Coop lost, the end. The rest is fanfic tier
>>220883674JUST YOU
>>220894043James was always cool.
>>220883580Every show is a soap opera you fool. Some just have gun battles and aliens
