Thank you. Even though I've been upset about what this show is, I am slowly coming around to it and I'm confident that in the end the show will grab me. It will just take me a little longer than most, I think.

I thought the central plot was "Cooper's journey back to Twin Peaks."
Yep, David Nevins from Showtime said "Cooper's odyssey back to Twin Peaks" is the core of the season. Which is fine with me! The Cooper/Doppelgänger/BOB story is the one I'm most interested in by far.

I am keep relistening to I'm Deranged by David Bowie from the Lost Highway soundtrack. Ofcourse movies are really subjective in terms of what people like and what they don't but for me Lost Highway is my favorite Lynch movie followed by Mulholland Drive. And I read a interview with Lynch Miguel Ferrer the actor who plays Albert is unfortunately already dead and so is Catherine E. Coulson who plays the log lady. Which makes me sad for both of them. Btw I almost never do rewatches with movies and even tv shows. But maybe tomorrow I will rewatch episode 1,2 and myabe 3 and 4. Because I won't be seeing episode 5 untill this thuesday
Listen to I'm Deranged from Bowie's album "Outside" if you haven't already. The Lost Highway OST shortens it by 2 minutes or so.
Lost Highway is my personal favorite too.

They have to explore that extensively if the idea is Cooper has been stuck in the Lodge for 25 years and his Doppelgänger has been out. It would be a disservice to spend a relatively short amount of time not following the repercussions of that.

Yeah. I'm surprised when people enquire about this. Almost every scene so far is either directly tied to good Coop or bad Coop, other than a handful of scenes in Twin Peaks.

I understand that you guys don't love it, and your reasoning is sound... but I don't think anyone is phantom menacing themselves here. I struggled with Part 3, as I've said on here, but it doesn't sound to me like people trying to convince themselves that they liked something they didn't.
I'm only a few minutes in to the podcast, but that's my initial reaction.
'People can't like something I don't like, they must only be pretending' is such an awful line to take.
I only started watching Twin Peaks this year and my anticipation over wondering what comes next after the S2 ending lasted all of six weeks, so there's no years-long fascination I have with this show forcing me to delude myself into liking anything. I just genuinely really enjoy it so far and think the first two episodes are collectively my favorite Lynch production.
I don't mind that tbh. I got plenty to watch besides Twin Peaks.
Same goes for me 2. Like tons or dozen things to watch.

Man Nadine fucking sucks
Took a little bit to get hooked. I've tried a few times over the years but I figured with the new series I would force myself this time to stick with it.
I'm glad I did, holy shit.
Quiet you. Best dumb season 2 plot.

Booooooo.
Maybe that's just the guilt you feel for not liking Nadine talking.

The next episode is called ......nah no spoilers
I hated that subplot so, so much. Worse than James.

Love the character concepts, but I'm not a fan of the plotting. But then I don't know that I could accept any plotting that isn't Lynch and Frost, or my own (now redundant of course) ideas.
I always liked the idea of Audrey never having been found after the explosion at the bank as you set up here, to give all the fans hope, but then I'd have had her dead body turn up in some kind of messed up shrine.
Well, that's what we did with Annie.

Finished season 2 Thursday, watched FWWM last night, starting the new stuff tonight. I'm not sure what exactly is going on but I love everything about this. Lynch so good.

Less than 36 hours until Part 5!
Hope you enjoy the new season, it's a total delve into the Lynch (and Frost).

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Ugggggh. After a 4-hour launch, an hour a week is going to be painful.

You're tellin me. Leave it to Lynch to recreate the feel of youth's endless summer
At least we don't have to wait two weeks (until we do again at the beginning of July).

Well keep in mind we don't know what characters are 'major' and which are not this season, but...
We haven't seen Doc Hayward, Norma, Ed, or Nadine yet.

As much as I've enjoyed the series so far, I think you're right on the money about Denise and Gordon/Tamara. Some of those scenes made me a bit uncomfortable and I'm surprised not to have heard more criticism about that.

Hadn't seen that, a bit amusing.
And yes, tomorrow night Part 5 will air. We'll from here on out being getting a new part every Sunday, though we skip July 2nd (no new episode airs that week, so that'll be a fun 2-week wait after Part 8 airs), and then the series finale will air on September 3rd, and it'll be two parts aired together like 1&2 and 3&4 were (but with 17&18).
That's pretty good, but he should have replaced Kramer with a tree.
The final conversation with Albert in episode 4 was excellent.

I loved it. That conversation with Albert is probably the best Gordon moment in the entire series for me (so far).
It doesn't get any bluer.

Just listening to the second half of the Twin Peaks Podcast and they talk about the dispatch console... that's still super old dispatch tech for anyone wondering (I do IT for a dispatch center).

Do most dispatch consoles have such disorganized folders on the desktop like we see in the Twin Peaks station?

Each of our dispatchers have roaming profiles with their own desktops.
So what do you think?
Edit: Not agreeing with the opinions in the Twin Peaks Podcast, but enjoying the comedy and banter. Espescially the talk of James taking Wally under his wing. That stuff was hilarious.

If she sings on the show than Lynch is out of control.
