Interpreting Season 3 of Twin Peaks by way of late Lynch - a guide with emphasis on what the ending means
The recent spate of “Twin Peaks is all X’s dream starting at point Y” takes are not so much wrong as just too explicit statements of what are simply useful hacks to try to view certain story elements in isolation and to reduce the dissonance of the “dream logic.” They are easy ways to get a hold on ...

An explanation of the end of Twin Peaks that provides closure
Short version, unpacked below: The story in the World of Twin Peaks has its end mid part 17 when the lights go out in the sheriff's station (with a farewell coda at the boiler room door). Coop’s face superimposed on the screen indicates a dissociative episode, one foot on the denouement of the TP st...

Re: Parts 1 + 2 (SPOILERS)
Had not seen this mentioned, but I reviewed the red room sequences while endeavoring to answer a Reddit thread and noticed that the Venus de Milo from the original red hallway was replaced with the Venus of Arles with the arms taken off.

Re: Symbolism of the Evolution of the Arm
Yeah, I forgot to mention EoA's serpentine voice and tongue darting sound (electrical in its way) as accompanying the forbidden tree idea. I'm more taking an Gnostic/LDS version of the story where the snake offered a deal that brought pain and sorrow, but also everything valuable to humanity... the ...

Symbolism of the Evolution of the Arm (SPOILERS)
David Lynch (and Twin Peaks in specific) creates master symbols that evoke multiple different things at once. Once you can feel the overlap, this yields a very powerful synthesis. One good example (which made the rounds on this sub recently) is the white horse that Sarah sees. The horse calls to min...

Dale Cooper and America’s (current) midlife crisis (SPOILERS)
Cross posted on Reddit. I have two understandings about the original show that could shed some light on the nature of the third manifestation of Dale Cooper (I’ll call them doppelCoop who is the dirty murderous one, OGCoop who escapes from the red room, and doucheCoop who is married to Janey-E). One...

Dude, I remember the "try me" girl from the Nanny! Yeah... I thought of Agent Preston too, but no FBI agent not on the show Quantico could get away with those earrings.

I apologize for ever making fun of people on the internet who say stuff like "there are no words." This was an out of body experience. I don't know If I will survive May 21.

Re: Michael Parks (1940-2017)
Yeah, this is sad. He was such a lovable low rent production stalwart and I was always happy to see him in anything. Glad Tarantino latched onto him, giving him a little exposure in more well executed projects. I'm a comic book guy, so I also appreciate him as the only person to play Jack "King...

Re: The Packard Mill
Also, we're in the post Inland Empire Lynchverse and his name is Janek. Wonder when his family came over from old Poland.Ronette's parents would be fascinating characters to get to know for a number of reasons.

Re: The Packard Mill
If you had asked me (unrelated to this question) which post-credits character I'd most like to see a name actor take over for the new show I would have said (millworker and father of victim) Janek Pulaski. It is precisely for the reason that that guy - lying at the intersection of all of the various...

Re: Speculation on how MIKE got the ring back in FWWM?
I may be referring to the Missing Pieces version... I'll have to check later. I kind of run that into the canon of the film and maybe that's not fair. The youtube of the scene doesn't have the "fury of my own momentum line or the fire explosion, so I need to check. Right now, all I can do is re...

Re: Speculation on how MIKE got the ring back in FWWM?
Granted we're thinking of the same scene, I always thought he was just rubbing his hands (funny thing; googling "rubbing his hands", the very first image result you get is MFAP :lol: ). I always chalk the hand rubbing up to the motif of kinetics/thermodynamics/time flow in the waiting roo...
