That kid is totally going to be the new version of this:
Also, I had no idea that some of this actors were in this, like Berenice Marlohe. I'm kind of expecting her to be some kind of femme fatale, like Monica Belucci, who's also in this.
I liked this one.

It is indeed. I remember the mystique behind the deleted scenes, read the shooting script front to back. Was legit surprised when Lynch decided to release them. When I first finished the series I actually wrote fan fiction before I even knew that was a thing cause I was still so caught up in the world and wanting to feel some sort of resolution and continue the story with those characters.
And I know exactly what you mean about it not being real till that first viewing. I keep thinking to what Lynch said to Catherine Coulson (rip) before filming began, "don't play in traffic". I'm treating this week like some sort of final destination simulator lol.

Fuck, I'm travelling the day after the first episodes air, and I'm praying nothing funny happens to me on the way, so I'm totally relating. I swear if I die before I get to see the new episodes...
Finished Episode 6. And yes Shelly finally did something about that fool, and Bobby is getting therapy so they might actually become a good couple at some point you say? Let's hope so. I'm curios about what Maddy found in Laura's secret place. And how the One Eyed Jack relates to the murderer, I mean sure Laura worked there, so somebody there might be involved in all of this.
I don't understand, what Josie and Ben were all about though. So Josie knows about Cat faking numbers in that second folder, but what is the purpose of Josie getting to know this? I thought Ben and Cat wanted to buy the sawmill from her, which she would have done if she had thought the sawmill was bad business anyway. Maybe Benjamin wants Cat out of the deal, so that he can get it to himself, since I have the impression he don't like her, and by revealing this fake accounts book to Josie, she might wanna sell the property to him alone, but then why would she, if the sawmill is doing well.
The log also mentions three guys at the night the murderers happened, I assume it could have been Leo, Jaqcues and this Hank guy who just wanted Leo to take care of this store stuff, but Leo messed up and killed Laura. Dunno. I'm kind of half-asleep at this moment so I'm not thinking super clearly.

It's been a bit much lol. Then again I can't imagine the wait for those that saw it in the original run, my intro was a decade plus past that. It feels like an astrological event at this point, and fitting considering the premiere title
I saw the last episode live the day it aired while I was in college...it's been a long time coming.

Damn, this must be extra surreal/special for you then. Can't imagine the impact a show like that at the time must have had on the public consciousness. I mean sure I can in articles but not the experience of being there. I'm a little jealous tbh

Honestly, don't try to make sense of the mill plot. I'm pretty sure it doesn't make sense at all. Just roll with it.
FWIW, Hank just got out of prison in Episode 4 or 5 so he couldn't have been present the night of Laura's murder.
I'm totally coming around to these goofier moments of Season 1. Like, when they go to Margaret to talk with the log itself, and I can't stop smiling. I get the whole spiritualism thing but them being FBI/police officers just makes it a fun moment to progress the story, and it's all the better for it. Or this moment where Leland starts dancing at this Icelandic event and you can't stop laughing at what is going on but in the back of your mind you know why, and feels for this character. What a poor lad.
I hope to see Audrey, Donna, Shelley, James and who knows, maybe even Maddy in the new season. Unless something happens to them in Season 2.
Oh yeah, that happened in Episode 5.

Who's the lady with the log?
We call her the log lady.
So close now. I was working nights when Twin Peaks originally aired, so I'd tape it on this busted ass Betamax vcr and then watch epsiodes when I got home from work at 2 or 3am. The scary eps were amazing in that tired, early morning state of mind.

Yeah I watched it live too.
The finale was so frightening there's still parts I haven't seen in 26 years. This weekend I wanted to see if I'd be able to stream the new episodes through the Xfinity app and I saw "Oh shit, Twin Peaks is on right now, let's see if this works!" and OF COURSE it was the finale but I kept it on like "Oh right, I remember this, he sucks out Windom Earle's soul, right, there's Leland in the hallway, he didn't kill anyone, right, there's bad Coop chasing good Coop, right, oh yeah, he catches him at the curtain of course, I re--HOLY FUCK THAT'S BOB'S FACE WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT COME FROM HOLY SHIT"
Literally felt like I was going to have a heart attack.
Jesus. I am not ready for these new episodes. It's been 26 years and I. Am. Not. Ready.

Shit, imma do this. Gonna wait until everyone's gone to bed and then turn off the lights and watch an episode.
I imagine you don't plan to finish your first watch of the series and movie before season 3 starts this Sunday, do you? Gone have to cram if yes

This is pretty cool, potentially coded easter egg found within the Frost book The Secret History of Twin Peaks. Spoilers for end of season 2 related:
Would post pic at the link but know spoiler tagged images don't work on mobile (unless they fixed this).
Curious who may be playing Preston if she's in the new season. My guess is potentially Madeline Zima from the last trailer.

I am aiming for it, it to at least have seen it all before the second episode of the new season. I don't know how much there is to Missing Pieces though, haven't really checked it out.

I rewatched episode 29 probably more than I have Star Wars, it's simply amazing television. I'm so curious how they're going to handle effects work for the Red Room and Lodge scenes this go around, and how much larger in scope our understanding of them will grow.
Interesting, well, that's probably her then!

Season 2 finale is the most insane thing I've ever seen.
That would make The Secret History Of Twin Peaks audiobook's casting even stranger, since she's not voicing T.P. in that.

Hmm, there's also this from the article you linked:
I know everybody is probably fed this line to say to press except Kyle (who's supposedly the only actor that had full script access), but still you'd think if she was that character she'd have a decent idea of the overall arc. Ofc we don't even know if Preston is a character in the new season.
Somewhat related, I may have to stay off the internet once the premiere happens on Friday (the LA one). I know that contest they had going to win tickets to it mentioned an NDA but I don't expect shit to stay under lock and key at that point especially if non-cast and crew are invited.
edit:
Parts 5-8 have taglines now
Waiting week to week after the four episode bonanza is gonna be torture.
Vague theory with spoilers for the Secret History book warning.
Since there were various conspicuous changes –notably Annie was written out of existence– in the dossier, is it possible it was somehow written in order to throw the fake Cooper off in some way? I'm sure hardcore people have discussed these things to death since October, but I'm curious what people's thoughts are on the changes in this thread.
Too expensive for me, but you all might want to jump on this Scott Campbell print.
I was thinking more along the lines of a potential "erasure" of Annie via time travel shenanigans, but I like your theory. Hadn't thought of that possibility.

So wait, they are breaking the episodes up and not showing them in succession? I didn't know that
wanderingprostheyltite

I like this idea, especially in context with the easter egg that's supposed to be a warning to who's reading it. So we really might find out how Annie is doing.
What? The parts are being aired in sequential order.
Oh, maybe you're confused at the use of the word "part" instead of "episode". They're not parts OF episodes. "Part 1" is episode 1, "Part 2" is episode 2, etc.

Yeah that is my bad, looking at that again I totally misread that date.
The missing pieces is not necessary...I do think you have to watch FWWM though as it tells very important parts of the main story and fills in some of the blanks.
The real difficulty for you (I think) will be getting through the rough episodes of S2 (which I'm sure you are well aware of already). Here is my recommendation...when you see characters in clothing they don't normally wear, hit the fast-forward button. When you see James... scream in agony, and then hit the fast-forward button.

Yes! DL is my favorite director besides...I was in film school when FWWM came out and I wrote my thesis on Blue Velvet...I'm sooooo very grateful to get 18 more hours of Lynch...that is the real gift here. I really hope it lives up to expectations!
It's difficult to commit too much to any one theory before seeing how things in the third season are handled in general, given the soft reality of the series. In the abstract, I can see it going any number of directions, but it's hard not to speculate anyway.

Looking for some new Twin Peaks artwork to use for my Facebook cover. I prefer something subtle.

That's a damn fine pick for a thesis
Are you in the industry now?
Nice piece by the Guardian on Julee Cruise and Badalamenti
Never knew her voice was the one used in the final mix for Isabella's singing scenes in Velvet. Also this anecdote:
lol
I'm in the middle of Sn. 2 so don't spoil anything for me, but I wish Josie was coming back. She's not necessarily an amazing character, but I still like her and Asian women with short hair are extremely hot.
I just watched the episode where Truman says he loves her as he's leaving.
I was thinking Laura Dern, given that she said she had a lot of scenes with Kyle.
It wasn't, that anecdote is about "Mysteries Of Love," which was written as a replacement for This Mortal Coil's track (which later ended up in Lost Highway).

I wept when I saw spy shots of the RR exterior with the neon RR sign illuminated. I wept when I saw the first official photographs. I wept at the first new footage. I wept listening to the Johnny Jewel album.
As far as living with the cliff hanger... man... that was a lot rougher when we didn't know it was going to be resolved, than it's been the last couple of years when we knew the show was coming back, for me at least.

To be fair to Shelly in S1,
she shoots Leo just a few days after he hits her for what's *presumably* the first time. In the pilot she doesn't take him seriously when he's all 'WASH THE FLOOR BITCH' until he rough handles her, and she seems genuinely shocked... so I've always taken Shelly as extremely proactive and far from the battered housewife trope.
She spends a day or two in shock. Processes it. Buys a gun. Shoots him. All in the space of like, five days.

Shelly's a badass in my eyes.

No kidding. Shelly in TP is pretty damn awesome. The female characters in the series as a whole are pretty great, specially for the time.
CrichtonKicks
Member
Yeah, I don' think it's a coincidence that Gordon develops a thing for her...
Shelly is one of my favorite characters. She feels well rounded and real to me in a way that a lot of other characters don't. Probably because she's not really personally swept up in the strange aura of Laura affecting the town.
I'm curious to see where she is after 25 years.

It's too bad she's brick stupid, because she was really damn cute and had an amazing grin
Charm goes a long way in Twin Peaks.
I could be rewatching everything in glorious HD right now but I'm stuck here doing late-night revision for exams. Don't have my PS4 with me so I can't even slack off and watch it. To make it even worse I'm going to have to avoid spoilers as I'm coming back more than a week after the first episodes air. Enjoy the start of the new series without me, GAF.

Rewatching the missing pieces tonite.
And with that, my rewatch will finally come to an end.
After that, I just have to wait til Sunday...

Yeah, it does, Bobby's sleazeball clown charm nearly turned her life into an even bigger nightmare.
And it took two of her would-be killers to save her from it. Good lord, Shelly.
