Yeah, I linked it up top.

 

The new show is dividing even hardcore fans. I love it, but I'm all in with most things Lynch. You have to be when there's an extended sequence in a casino of a shellshocked, near-catatonic Cooper getting jackpots at slot machines while guided by floating, flaming Black Lodge portals done up in (deliberately) wacky CGI.

 

From the final sequence in the Roadhouse with Shelly, James and co. in episode 2, the incredible music of Chromatics:

Heh-LLOOOOOOOOO.

 

third look-alike?

 

That journey out of the Black Lodge was never going to be easy. Cooper in that casino was amusing and at the same time harrowing.

 

I laughed a lot at the Lucy/Andy/Hawk scene. And what fun to see Gordon and Albert. For a second I thought Cooper would be trapped in the Black Lodge for episodes on end but I'm glad he's out and returning, although it (probably) isn't over yet. I wonder if the show will return to some of the more traditional Twin Peaks once Cooper makes his way back to town.

 

Now let's see how long I can hold off before episode 4.

Watched all 4 eps that were released yesterday and it was awesome.

 

Such a great reboot and I cannot wait for the rest of the episodes.

 

Also. Did anyone else laugh really really hard at the scene in episode 4 where...

binge watched the first 4 episodes and Madchen Amick (Shelly) still looks great as ever; the first part of episode 3 was way too artsy for my personal taste

 

unless they do another season, I guess we're supposed to assume Annie Blackburn (Heather Graham) is dead

The debut had low live numbers but very high streaming numbers - broke the box on new subscriptions. I expect another major drop in future weeks after the very strange premiere, but Lynch doesn't care about that and I'm not sure Showtime will either. I think they're in this for the prestige to compete with HBO - or so I was told a year or two ago - and I think it'll keep that. Whether or not they (or Lynch) will commit to another season, if Lynch wants one, is an open question. But I know this story is designed to be closed-ended as well, to not have to go on. If it doesn't that's fine.

I think Lynch would keep Twin Peaks going as long as Showtime would let him. Saw an interview saying he was blindsided by the first cancellation since he had more ideas, so they could just use those now

Lynch and Frost have said this show is a closed event and has a definite ending. But they've also suggested they could do more depending on the muse or interest. I think it's possible but may depend on a few factors.

 

Joe Adalian at Vulture breaks down the numbers. Low same-day, good streaming/subscriptions. He also reiterates what I've heard from the beginning, two or three years ago from people at the network - that Showtime is more interested in the prestige and buzz here to take them to an HBO level than they are the actual ratings. They knew it would be weird and not for everyone. Based on that, it's possible they could want a second helping (if Lynch is willing). FX also seems to enjoy losing money on critical darlings like the low-rated Americans, which I applaud them for sticking by.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about

Best theory I've heard about Audrey, which may or may not be nonsense, is that she is the billionaire who funded the Black Lodge box experiment in New York (to look for Cooper).

    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
