Well, guess the long wait is over and now we have the mess that is Twin Peaks. But let's just focus on that third season, shall we?
The first episode set the tone for a show that was at times perplexing, fascinating and even almost revoltingly awful. The ending in particular was such a shock to the system, in a bad way, that I'm stuck at 5 for season 3, barely. I've allowed the option of going negative for it. Some people might enjoy voting that way.
Ofcourse, if anyone has seen it to begin with. Viewing numbers were unfortunately pretty low.
Not good news for a potential season 4. Showtime sure doesn't think it's going to happen, but they seem to have left the door open for Lynch. Question would be: would a season 4 make it better? Or even worse?

After cooling down a bit from the disappointment that was the finale, I'm giving it a 7. All that "I'll see you in 25 years" stuff had me thinking Lynch might actually have something special planned, but it became increasingly apparent that he did not, and not only that, but his limited plans were being unnatually stretched from 9 episodes to a plodding 18. That said, I was happy to see some of my favorite characters again (though some not as much as I would preferred), liked some of the new ones (particularly Brando and Richard), and mostly enjoyed the storyline outside of there being way too much padding. Had the season ended an episode earlier, I'd call it a success.
As for a season 4, what would be the point? Lynch will continue to end on frustrating cliffhangers until we're all dead.

This season was a mess. The Dougie Jones story arc dragged on wayyy too long. There was one episode (8th, I think) that was completely mind-boggling. I understand it was somewhat important to the plot but, damn, it could have easily been wrapped up in ten minutes or so.
I don't like the fact that we never had any resolution to Audrey's story line. Was she in a mental institution? I have no idea. Nothing but mere speculation at this point.
If there is a fourth season, then I hope Showtime puts a limit on how many episodes Lynch can produce. Nine would have been a lot better than eighteen. Just too much filler.
5/10 for me.

Nothing but mere speculation at this point For MY own sanity, I'm just gonna assume she never woke up from her coma in season 2. Raises the least amount of questions. Damn you, David Lynch. |

I told everyone it would suck after that abysmal first episode. Even more annoying than Lynch taking yet another gigantic smelly steaming shit and proclaiming it visionary are the critics and desperate pseudo intellectuals that fall to their knees and shove each peanut and corn laden turd into their gaping maws and beg for more.

I didn't really dislike that first episode. As a whole, I sort of enjoyed the ride, but the destination was so awful that I cannot even think back on the good episodes without that ending spoiling it all. I don't consider Lynch as beyond criticism, but I do tend to enjoy his work. Heck, even Dune. Although that's mostly because I saw it at age 11 and before I read the book  I absolutely love Mulholland Drive, one of my favourite movies. But this season? No, absolutely not  |

This thread is like reading a group of elementary school students reassuring one another that the novel none of them understood was full of big words and therefore a bunch of bullshit.
11/10.
Simpletons.

It had some boring moments, it had some confusing moments, it had some self-indulgent moments. Yet it was for the most part totally watchable, addictive, entertaining TV.

Well, if you're that convinced, I'm sure you can explain that ending to us 'simpletons'

The request itself demonstrates you will not understand. Go read The Secret History of Twin Peaks and figure it out for yourself. But I will offer you this: "The sea is the sea. The old man is the old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The sharks are sharks, no better, no worse." |

I did think it was good/interesting, though. |

I'm feeling a 10 out of 10 on this. I don't recall the last time a television series evoked such emotion from me.

Was weary of returning to my all time favorite show after 25 years, but Lynch didn’t disappoint. Having a set time frame for the series as well as more or less complete creative control made the series overall a lot more consistent, feeling more like a very long stand alone Lynch feature. Very different from the original series, darker, weirder and more inventive with some ideas and visuals harking all the way back to his Eraserhead days. It is however not without it’s flaws: There are possibly too many characters and a lot of the storylines involving the original characters are inconsequential and just there for the sake of nostalgia. The first climax as both Cooper’s converge on Twin Peaks after such a slow build seemed hurried and although I liked the Freddie character, I think his presence pushed the silliness too far. What I did like in particular though was: The early B&W sequences with the original Cooper in the Red Room, would’ve liked a bit more of this as well as the guy watching the glass box in NY. Was never a fan of the log lady in the original series, but here her interactions with Hawk provide a beautifully sombre heart and grounding to the narrative. The New Mexico sequence was stunning Finally I really enjoyed the conclusion to the penultimate episode, particularly the return of Julee Cruise, in fact I liked most of the musical interludes. It could have finished there and I wondered what the last episode would consist of. It was even better, a mysterious, beautifully desolate coda, or perhaps a teaser of what may come. Overall it’s cemented TP as my all time favorite show and in some ways is arguably even better than the original. 9/10 |
