Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

The Audrey dance scene, even in her imagination - was it a 'you can never go back' footnote, a commentary on history not being able to repeated. Even if it was that it was still wrong, wrong, wrong. Quite cringey. On an online Q&A with Sherilyn Fenn I actually asked her how she felt about doing...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

It certainly would be an interesting concept, if executed properly, but it a) most likely isn't the intention at all and it'll probably turn out to be another wild goose chase, and b) it's really badly done. I mean, look at those scenes. Badly written, badly blocked, badly shot, badly acted. It's l...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

The main problem with S3 is that the characters, such as they are, are wafer-thin and woefully underdeveloped. You cannot have a compelling drama without compelling characters. I mean, what the fuck is all that nonsense with Audrey and her husband? It's literally a waste of time. Their presence ser...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

The answer is that I think it is re-enforcing the negativity. It might make those who frequent only a thread like this one to see each new episode through blue rose colored glassed, hating it by default. I see how certain series/music web-fandoms have devolved to the point where it is unacceptable ...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

I too have become increasingly troubled by Lynch's keenness to put himself at the centre of everything. He's better as a treat every once in a while, not the main course plus surely it must be tricky to direct and be in so many scenes. But all the promise it started building just completely disappe...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

Small point: when Frank Truman calls Gordon Cole to tell him about the missing pages from Laura's diary, why doesn't he mention the massive fuck off clue that Major Briggs left for them? The clue that leads to the portal? I think it was because he wasn't sure it would lead to anything. Better to ch...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

I would be surprised if any of the disappointed crew likes it. It's the epitome of where season 3 is going, so... Actually, I've been consistently profoundly disappointed (other than maybe episode 8 ) and this episode was thoroughly enjoyable for me. All I've been complaining about all season has b...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

I'm sorry, I don't see the fan community as all that divided, though a lot of folks here keep saying it. Among the real hard core, my sense is that approximately 70-90% are really digging the new season overall, though most everyone has a few things they criticize. Fire Walk With Me felt much more ...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

Season Three has been nothing more than a collage of ideas, a video art style and art project. It does have a coherent story, but that aspect of Season three could be contained within three episodes, the rest of it is an incoherent mess. The darkness in season three is naked outward and vulgars, to...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

I'd love to speak to someone who had never seen any TP except for the Return. Perhaps they still get a lot out of it, because they haven't been exposed to anything this "off-the-charts weird" before. Maybe the lack of old threads that might or might not be driving the plot actually enhanc...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

Technically, this “club” here has far more members than the group I discussed the original TP with. The world was decidedly more limited and less immediate then. The problem I see with this time around is the ridiculously specialized knowledge one has to have to glean meaning. Last time, all one nee...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

Some of the best shows often have several layers to enjoy and explore, depending on your taste and commitment to delve deeper. With this season's Twin Peaks, both the surface layer and the underlying subtext is incredibly ambiguous and slippery. I'm not sure if the hallmark of a great show is that ...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

In seriousness, I know one of the main arguments for the ongoing DougieCoop storyline is that 'what would you expect from someone who's been trapped in another dimension for 25 years?' (because realism is what this season is all about..) But I think I might have preferred an entire season of Coop t...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

I really like that Audrey theory but I don't see how it would fit in with the fact that we've heard mentions of Billy elsewhere in the story. So I don't think it could work. (I think a lot of the fan speculation is often better than what we get. It was the same with LOST.) Well, in a world where sh...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

I’m going to swim against the tide for a while. I didn’t think it was as bad as some of the previous episodes. I found myself paying attention to the majority of the episode, and I didn’t fast forward through anything. I drifted away during the departure of the French girl and during Jacoby’s rant, ...
