The most important in case they are really planning to revisit TWIN PEAKS is to make a show, which would simply stand on its own. Without any nostalgic unnatural sentiment, without having just a desire to do it again - this approach ruined many former classics in the American film history. As Lynch always says, the pure ideas alone matter, not the desires of doing it again. I think, it's the most difficult challenge, which can be overcome by refraining from copying and repeating - that's the thing Lynch is absolutely aware of, I'm sure. The problem is how convincing the storytelling will be taking into account the absence of characters. If one assumes, that BOB represents the embodyment of evil in TP universe, then this character is simply unavoidable. I can't imagine him to be substituted by anybody else, The Jumping Man is great as all the others, but they are too abstract and create rather the dreamy mood, than act on their own. Some other characters could be invented, but it would mean dropping loose ends in the former plot on the one hand and making compromise through the plot change and substitution of character on the other. So recasting and omitting the character can be either way bad. That's why the idea of ,,another" Twin Peaks looks rather dubious, if not necessarily bad. But after all TWIN PEAKS isn't a place but a mood, so I'd be ready to plunge into it.

I haven't been this excited since I punctured Caroline's aorta!

I don't want to keep my hopes up... but man... I agree with others it's too much for them to simultaneously drop a tweet like that if there wasn't something that was a go. I'm sure the sales of the box sets (despite the unresolved technical issues) has helped boost commercial interest in a TP revival. It seems entirely possible. But I still don't want to keep my hopes up until an official announcement... then I will proceed to go berserk.

and to add even more excitement: wouldn't it be fantastic to hear all new music for the series by the great Angelo Badalamenti?
Yeah, it sure would :D

Yes, indeed some more of the great music from Badalamenti would also be a nice side effect.

However this goes down, any new material (mini-series, series, film, webisodes) will go down as one of the most scrutinized and critically analyzed media ventures ever.

Can't wait!

A great way to handle Frank Silva's absense would be to not directly address whether the Cooper character is possesed or not. Him acting just like we know the character most of the time, but there would be these little moments of oddness so that the audience wouldn't really be able to trust him. They couldn't keep tht going forever but that approach could create a nice dramatic undercurrent.

I wouldn't have any problem with them recasting BOB if they felt BOB needed to reappear for the story. It's not ideal but I'd rather have them not have any restrictions with the narrative then change the story because the actor has passed.
