I know Riverdale's creators admit it owes its whole existence to TP - I haven't watched S2 yet but it looks fun yet very silly - but even for what is surely an admitted homage this is quite shameless:

Joel Bocko's incredible video essay series Journey Through Twin Peaks - an essential watch for any fan of the show, Lynch or Frost (I only agree with maybe 80-90% of his take on the original series, but that's more than enough) - is returning this year to cover Season 3.

Not sure where to post this on the board, but this seemed like a good thread for it:

 

"I really like soap operas," says Lynch. "I got hooked when I was printing engravings at art school. This lady I was printing with was just completely addicted to two particular soap operas - Another World and The Edge Of Night - so I got hooked as well. I dug them.

We may fall into the same thing."

In perhaps the unlikeliest TP connection of all, @dragonflies' post about the bizarre Karate Kid revival has led me to discover from its linked EW article that one of its young stars is Xolo Maridueña, best known as the lovestruck young boy dating a certain young girl in 1956 in the now legendary Part 8 of Season 3. Small world.

I love that Obama/Garland tweet. If only Garland was here for us now.

That backstory about Shelly's ring is sweet.
