To anyone who was particularly disappointed:
- S1 & S2 were far from perfect.
Lynch only directed 6 out of the 30 previous episodes.
Most of S1 & S2 was not Lynch.
Have you seen Lynch's films?
He had free reign to do what the hell he liked here.
If it had been too much like S1 & S2, other people would have complained.
Twin Peaks as we knew it till May the 21st of 2017 was not all Lynch, as you stated correctly. And - heated arguments about the merit of its certain segments that we may have - the blend worked somehow. Enough for it to not leave people's minds for 25+ years, anyhow (the fact that Lynch recently flipped the bird to 2/3 of the show doesn't change the fact one bit, it just makes it sad and painful for some of us suckers for its "sucky" aspects). What we're getting now, however,
is all Lynch (if you exclude Mark Frost, who was seemingly just along for the ride). And, consequently, it's just not Twin Peaks we knew till May the 21st of 2017. Simple as that.
What I really don't get is, with so much fuss and fanfare made in regards to it being "one long movie divided into 18 parts", why not having it drop all at once Netflix-like? Lynch wanted a movie, and it's clear what he made really doesn't feel like a series - not structurally, not intellectually, not emotionally. So why the insistence on the producer's side to treat it like a series? It's just creates a whole lot of unnecessary confusion.
