The Entire Mystery

That gum we like is going to come back in style.

Definitely aroused for this, but like everyone else, I'm pretty confused on exactly how they're going to pick up the story...and for only 9 episodes.

Nonetheless, I don't see Lynch selling out, so that's good.

... Who am I kidding. It's Audrey. Them shoes.

A fan favorite... Shelly was hot too.

I think 9 episodes is a good number. When you consider how many people have fond memories of twin peaks season 1, which was only 6 episodes or so, 9 sounds about right. Lynch and Frost seems to be clear about wanting to make sure this isn't a meandering mess. That said, I have no idea what it will be like, however I expect we will see the return of good Dale Cooper. Beyond that, who knows?

Oh, I didn't realize/read properly. I thought Showtime was simply doing a syndicated rerun.

Another echoing of no idea how they'll pick up from where it left off. Lynch obviously isn't the sellout type, but anyone can lose their touch with age, especially when it comes to revisiting old work. (I'd pick Wordsworth as a more apt comparison than Lucas.)

Doubt most of the old cast save MacLaughlan will return. At least, not the frauleins. The original series was too focused on silk-skinned hotties. Is Bob even still alive?

...Google says no.

You gotta think Sheryl Lee will make an appearance, no? I mean, she even said in the Black Lodge, "I'll see you again, in 25 years" which was brought up in a handful of blog posts.

Out of all the "reboots" of stuff from my childhood, this is about the only one that I actually am not nervous about being destroyed.

Meanwhile... in the Blade Runner script writing process...

That's pretty interesting. I clearly need to bone up on my TW lore. It's been awhile and I'm just now getting reacquainted. Although I wonder if concentrating on the lore, as we all obviously do, is beside the point. Or at least somewhat beside the point. Frost & Lynch definitely had a fairly cohesive plot and internally-consistent universe in mind, but I wonder if it was really more about the general experience.

What made Twin Peaks unique most of all was the atmosphere - a creepily compelling combination (alliteration unintended) of soap opera & film noir. The likes of which have never been seen before or since. The mystical/magical/lore elements certainly contribute in a huge way, but I'm increasingly viewing them as a means to an end. After all, Blue Velvet was intended to take place in the same universe as Twin Peaks, and the two have nothing to do with one another, plot-wise.

In which case the new series need not necessarily build on Cooper, Palmer, & Bob, although that is certainly what fans will expect.

[CMoon]

I am suspicious mostly new cast built upon the premise of what has come before, but still a continuation, not a reboot. I don't think the old cast (for the most part) will have enormous screen time, but will still have important cameos. Given where Lynch ended his movie career (Inland Empire) and the enormous amount of control that both Frost and Lynch will have, I'm actually pretty hopeful that this will not be a simple return to Twin Peaks.

Inevitably, no matter what they do, it will probably disappoint some of the fans.

So one of my buddies lived at a co-op on the north side and I would go to their rec room and watch the series on VHS. Night after night we'd watch two or three episodes and then I would walk home in the dark back to my room on the south side. So spooky.

Spoiler

Since then, it's weird. Every time I'd think about Twin Peaks I always get bummed out thinking that Dale Cooper is still trapped in the Black Lodge. I'm really hoping that Dale Cooper gets out of the Black Lodge and everything goes OK.

Wow ! Damn good news !

But yeah expectations are really high, hope they won't ruin it.
