I can’t stand this bloody series. ‘It’s art for the sake of art’. ‘This is really Lynch’s gift to all subsequent media’. ‘There is so much we owe to this series.’

What the hell. It’s just random pieces of script written by monkeys on a typewriter, slapped together. No part of the story is ever finished. ‘Ah but that’s where the depth resides!’. Rubbish. Anybody can write a story that doesn’t properly finish.

Oh I know I will introduce 20 new characters, this will add so much depth. Yeah, they have no motives, no character development BUT I will add this random surreal thing that happens to them, for additional depth. But what happens to X? Who knows! And to Y? You have to guess! And to Z? No one can tell!

Maybe using steel-faced actors will improve the plot? I know I will cast myself in one role with quirky details because it’s so fun. Yeah I don’t know how to act, why? Is it necessary?

And the goddamn music is unsufferable. ‘You can’t separate Lynch’s work from Badalamenti’s music’. Yeah I know they’re both shit. Oh and the effing gigs in the sequel of the series. Aaaaaah!

But at least there is some symbolism! Yes, what is it? Who fucking knows!

    I can’t say it’s “better” but something about seeing the exact same cast having aged so much and then working this time-skip into the plot is a hyper-rare feat that you can’t find anywhere else. Also episode 8 is exceptionally well-known for a damn good reason imo. Anyone trashing season 3 will have to admit they just didn’t enjoy that episode or the ending essentially.

    I highly highly suggest the movie if you crave authentic resolution to the mysteries and confusing lore. Twin Peaks is supposed to be confusing and full of incomprehensible twists. The movie was intended to be a absolutely necessary “key” to decode the puzzles and see through the illusions that each character (can the viewer be a character or an influential but also confined part of what is being viewed?) is ‘trapped’ in. I have said too much, please any and all DM me your thoughts and opine to me even if you were disappointed!
