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.

 

A 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

 

 

Madchen (Shelly) still looks great as ever

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).

      I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.

      The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.

      I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.

      That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

      Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.

      I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.
