Ep1-3 must be a pretty hard watch by themselves. The Return definitely takes some time to get up in gear... and then it randomly shifts back and forth a bit.

Wow, that was all kinds of horrible. Good job, Japan, in your quest to butt fuck any and all subtlety in anything you produce.

I would think they are fine stand alones, as he's probably wanting the red room / mauve room / non-existence atmospheres to be conveyed.

Lovely wife Ln does not like Lynch, but offered me Twin Peaks The Return as a Christmas present, with love.

I watched some parts by myself, and could talk to her that it was not that bad. At least it seems to have chronologically ordered episodes, some kind of a murder case, dialogs, funny moments, many more.
So I could convince her to play a part for both of us tonight, at least while we were cleaning the dining room, washing and so on ...
... it was part 8.
Bravo jolie Ln, tu as trouvé : l'armée de l'air c'est là où on peut te tenir par la main.

Despite the original series being my first 'oh my god, television can be good' moment, plus falling in love with Lynch at the time, I walked away from The Return feeling disappointed. I get Lynch's process and he doesn't care if his films make sense. My favorite parts for me in the first series were those dream-inspired moments that Lynch could never explain (along with the killer soundtrack), but The Return never quite settled down for me. I think most will agree that episode 8 is absolutely amazing and could be watched as a totally different work, while the last two episodes almost feel like alternate endings, the latter feeling closer to Lost Highway/Inland Empire/Wild at Heart than whatever was going on in the previous episode. Maybe I've just grown impatient as I was expecting certain threads to come together, but when everything was said and done, I wasn't too anxious to see it again any time soon.

A friend of mine put it best: If nothing else, The Return was a great format for exploring Kyle MacLachlan's range of acting.

A blast from the past... not a lot to contribute to the thread you bore?

A fair assessment of the show, but I knew going in there was no way it was gonna tie up nicely. Didn't think it would go that sideways but still... I loved it, and the end was nothing like I could have imagined.

Twin Peaks The Return is like watching an 18 hour David Lynch film. It's the best I have seen from him since Mulholland Drive.
I don't see what's not to love. :)

I regret Cole is not as loud as he used to be.

I'm really close to a watching The Return a fourth time, I just can't stop thinking about it. It somehow gets better every time too.

I was debating round 3 this winter but not sure I'll make it as I refuse to just have it on in the background.

Yeah it demands your attention for sure. Stuff lands different every time you watch it. I think I can watch more than two episodes in a row but you gotta pace

Figured you guys might like David Lynch being a madman for a relentless 8 minutes and 30 seconds. Fan made video, and actually really well put together.

Since we're on that subject, I think everyone needs to see this video, too. It might sum up The Return better than anything:

Been waiting for this to happen for ages now. Hopefully it'll be a 3 parter at least. Part 1 barely scratches the surfaces of stuff to discuss.

I totally knew it was gonna be a RLM bump. As Matt Lees always says, we're a bunch of predictable bastards.

Yeah, we're horrible. Although I must say I miss the days when we scanline bitching was the defacto forum war. Or maybe it is in places other than Off Topic?

Part 1 was good -- pretty light, not pretentious, called out some of the subtle yet awesome things about The Return (like the many actors that died before or soon after release). I doubt I'm going to learn a hell of a lot from their take but I'm hoping for some things to remember for my next go through.

Miguel Ferrer being a mainstay throughout The Return was a wonderful surprise, I'd assumed he'd only be in a couple early eps.

Hardware subforum is the bumpin/jumpin joint these days, I always tell the "WAAA DELETE OT ITS KILLING SHUMPS" sorts that if they need to resent someone, consider them. Image

That first RLM episode was great for jogging my memory and makes me want to watch The Return again. Haven't seen it since it first released.

I was suppose to have a virtual watch party w/ a friend on the other side of the planet. Once she got up to Fire Walk with Me, I was going to join in for discussion after each episode. I think she's gotten up to season 2 after like 6 months. So yeah, I'm cutting her out of my will as we'll likely have a vaccine before she takes it seriously.

Had a bit of an eye roll when Josh thought that the ugly frog moth crawling into that girl's mouth might be actually a good thing. :?

Yeah they missed a couple of things I think, but hey, not like my interpretations are any better.

Finally finished it the other day. I enjoyed that 17 was a 'proper' ending if you want it, and 18 is the 'ha ha nope' version, in true Lynch fashion.

The fate(?) of Audrey doesn't sit well with me, but it explained how surreal everything in those scenes were.

Best performances: NIN and the Chromatics.
(Also might be a window into Audrey's crazy taste in music...)


Does anyone have a guess as to what year it's supposed to be by the end?
