season 2 finale + this music is peak Lynch man

watched all the episodes on the gold box boxset and the bonus features are so f***in sick

upon reflection i actually think that yes, you can safely skip episodes 10-16, no matter what anyone tells you. the only relevant thing is the teasing of the black lodge and white lodge, though even then that’s mostly superficial, as the more impactful lodge moments and mythology are elaborated in the final episodes, and the white lodge is an arguably abandoned concept. there’s also the major briggs stuff, which i like but also is elaborated on in 17-22. you just need to know that annie is coop's love interest and josie got turned into a doorknob, which is supposedly the only thing lynch contributed to that stretch of episodes, and the most memorable part, and to watch the brief major briggs sections.

everything else is either at best cutely trite or at worst borderline unwatchable, from the ben horne confederate cosplay, rapey billy zane, dougie milford buffoonery, nadine super strength high school psychosis stupidity, and the coup de grace of irrelevant plotlines, james and evelyn. there is basically nothing else in there of material relevance. anyone telling you "noo it's kino it's essential viewing!!" is coping. if you enjoy those episodes/find them comfy, fine, i do too in a way, but they're mostly a complete waste of time and decidedly not representative of lynch and frost's vision of what they were setting out to do with twin peaks, something both of them have said repeatedly.

i treat those episodes a bit like the international pilot: a curiosity, but not essential, difference being that the international pilot is actually worth watching while most of what’s in these episodes most decidedly aren't. they weren't lynch nor frost's visions and you can really feel that when you watch them

bought fire walk with me criterion collection and the limited series on DVD i can’t wait to dive back in

rewatching it for the third time after years... my girlfriend's first time, S02E09... waiting for the finale :p

just finished FWWM and man, what a f***in movie. Out of David’s catalog so far, I’ve watched Eraserhead, S1-2 of Twin Peaks, and now this, and this was an absolute masterpiece. there were times during this movie I was in absolute shock and stunned to my core. I’m so glad they let him cook after the original run of the series.

Definitely his best film and his “masterpiece”

The heart and soul of the entire series and arguably his career.

The Giant (Carel Struycken) lost his house and everything in the Eaton Fire, if anyone cares to donate: gofundme.com/f/support-carel-and-tracey-after-eaton-fire

Just watched what was supposedly the worst episode of the show S2 ep 15 and I actually liked it a lot, felt like more of a return to form following the last bunch of episodes and it was a nice surprise to see it was directed by Diane Keaton. Loving the show so far and can't wait to finally get to the film.

james is still cool. he's always been cool

i think the season 2 long haul is objectively the low point of the show, but i think if you really just enjoy the world and characters it isn't bad at all. people who really despise it i feel are the people who just want the story to move at all times

i always recommend people watch all the episodes for their first watch, and skip on rematches if they really weren't feeling that portion

Just finished the original show....HOLY S*** WHAT AN ENDING

I wish I could be at the water cooler the following weeks to hear how people felt about it in real time since thisbaired before forums were really a thing

TP aired on ABC

Now time for FWWM and The Return

💌

been thinking about this everyday ever since I finished it. just incredible. lowkey wanna do a re-watch but I need to let it rest for a bit longer

Insane movie

I watched FWWM and then the series debut back to back (long story) and I noticed that they nail all of the details surrounding Laura's last night on earth to a T
